He was a hero for supposedly "not breaking" while a POW, yet he rolled over so easily for the Bush admin, abandoning his principles and morals for potential political gain. That is not the man I would want as my President. It pains me to say that because I was hoping McCain would be the Republican nominee in 2000. McCain is not the man I once thought he was.

I know a little about what you are saying (new to the whole U.S. political scene) Smearing the Bush campaign back wouldnt have made him a better candidate for 2008. He was probably strong-armed by the Bush family name. Once your party starts shifting to another person, you are basically screwed. What will be funny is George W, trumpeting McCain as the only option for presidency. That is if McCain even wants W campaigning on his behalf - which I wouldnt.
