1. Keep the comments relevant to the thread. ie. this is not a bash-McCain posting, this is about LCR and McCain meeting.

2. Any claims (whether about pandering or what was said or the purpose of the meeting or anything else) will need to be substantiated. Idle speculation, bilious ranting, and wild-eyed accusations will be deleted.

ps. these “new rules” are our same old rules that we require for all comments.

It’s nothing like the shameless way John McCain plays the “captured war hero” card at every turn, then shameless votes against our troops/veterans at each and every opportunity.

Because you’re right, RHETORIC is what’s really important, not actions.

*headdesk*

He was telling the LCR to shutup and not cause waves or no tax cuts for them.

Let’s mend fences after McCain is defeated in November. He’s shown himself repeatedly to be willing to pander to pretty much anyone in his desperate bid for the presidency, and he’s changed his positions in the wrong direction repeatedly.

I don’t even care about the gay issues, specifically, this election — there’s far too much at stake. Luckily, the best candidate on all the issues happens to take a more progressive stance toward gays than any candidate up to this point.

There’s a sucker born every minute.

Yeah right. Keep telling yourself that.

Translation: McCain meets with gays, but is too cowardly to tell anyone.

He’s basically engaging in the political equivalent of cruising in the back room, and the self-loathers in the LCR are celebrating?

Plus ca change…
