It's been quite a few years since he has had any relevance. In fact, he's never been quite...ummm... right. His self-centered, ballistic temperament costs him much credibility. His left leaning legislative record and bumbling comments cost him the rest. The picture of the headstone below the video caps it. MSM's darling is being called GOP frontrunner when he loses every poll matchup against any other GOP candidate. In group polls of 20 or more candidates he always comes in no higher than 2nd or 3rd from the bottom. I fear a President McCain would trigger Armageddon around his third week in office.

If he wants clean government, maybe he should get out and leave it alone. First campaign finance reform that opens the door for really big bucks to pour in, and then a torture law that doesn't do anything but muddy the definition of what torture is. He seems to be more concerned with getting his "maverick" moniker back from the MSM than he is with actually serving the people.

McCain thought he could win a few points (and perhaps donor dollars) by going after two leaders within an important part of the GOP coalition. All attacking them did was feed into the liberal lie that everyone to the right of McCain who goes to church (or even doesn't go to church) takes orders from Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
