I’m not young enough to know everything, but I am old enough to know when a man begins a reply by calling me his "friend"-he is not my friend.
So is the habit of the new front-runner: the selectively conservative John McCain.
He must have called Mitt (and most everyone else) his friend countless times over the past week or so.
Taken to its ultimate, logical conclusion…John McCain hates everybody but his enemies, since he runs away from his natural allies, the conservatives. It is sadly strange that he seeks approval of the very people who wish him the most harm.
Is there any doubt that Teddy Kennedy would love to bury the guy’s party to a minority status forever?
Does anyone question whether or not Russ Feingold would wish for a Democrat from Arizona to unseat him?
Tom Harkin? Dick Durbin? Chuck Schumer? Hillary? John Kerry? Al Gore?
Has there ever been a recorded instance when ANY of these liberal warhorses EVER reached out to McCain enough to compromise their core beliefs in the interest of "getting along"?
No.
Yet McCain stupidly believes he is accomplishing something by bending to the liberal will.
I think they pity the man-but not enough to not take advantage of him. This is politics after all. Liberals never compromise. When they lose, they wait for another opportunity to impose their values.
How can a conservative Republican ever utter the words: “I think Senator Clinton would make a good President?”
Is this a psychological manifestation of the “Stockholm Syndrome”?
Have people in similar circumstances demonstrated similar puzzling tendencies?
I’m not a shrink. I don’t even play one on TV but I am sure that I never want one Mr. John McCain to ever call me his friend.
