      Why is this man receiving so much airtime? Did Kerry receive this much airtime in 2005, or Gore in 2001?

        The world should be reminded over and over that this is the "brilliant" mind that inflicted Sarah Palin on us.

        I sure hope he loses his re-election.

          As a long-time Arizonan, I can tell you that I will be working for whoever runs against him from the blue side - and I believe he very well could lose. I am hoping that janet resigns HSA and comes home to take him on.

      Hopefully, soon, this guy will spend every last dime of his reputation and America will remember, not his service, but this disservice to his country.

      He should be ashamed of himself for defending the indefensible.

      McCain gets asked a simple yes or no question up front and immediately ignores.

      Damned maverick!

      He is in the twilight of his career and he is still playing Republican politics.

      Senator McCain can't remember how many houses he owns and seems to forget he LOST the last presidential election. What would he have done if he didn't have health insurance while being diagnosed with skin cancer....wait until health care passed. The ER wouldn't treat Cancer, they would refer him out to a doctor who would insist on insurance or cash.

      McCain is a vile individual. He knows the truth and could clear up the idea of death panels in less than 60 seconds, but he won't because, in spite of all of his presenting himself as a maverick and man of honor, he is neither. If anyone had any question about whether he actually possesses these two characteristics all he/she needs to do is examine his trail of lies and obstructions to doing what is right for America. This man is only in the Senate for the prestige.

        Unfortunately for the American people until term limits come into existance these vile people glow in their prestige. Whatever happened to mandatory retirement? AKA dinosaur panels.
