McCain Should Be Feared, Writer Says ...(Excerpts...)
Presidential hopeful John McCain is being billed as the Republican that liberals can live with, but his credentials as a "bipartisan progressive" are in fact a "lazy, hazy myth," according to liberal pundit Johann Hari. ...
... "The truth is that McCain is the candidate we should most fear," writes Hari, a columnist for The Independent in Britain, in an article that appeared in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "Not only is he to the right of Bush on a whole range of subjects, he is also the Republican candidate most likely to dispense with Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama."
"To give a brief smorgasbord of his views: At a recent rally, he sang 'bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb Iran,' to the tune of the Beach Boys' 'Barbara Ann.' He says North Korea should be threatened with 'extinction.'
"McCain has mostly opposed using U.S. power for humanitarian goals, jeering at proposals to intervene in Rwanda or Bosnia . . .
"So why do so many nice liberals have a weak spot for McCain? Well, to his credit, he doesn't hate immigrants: He proposed a program to legalize the 12 million undocumented workers in the U.S. He sincerely opposes torture, as a survivor of it himself. He has apologized for denying global warming and now advocates a cap on greenhouse gas emissions but only if China and India can also be locked into the system." (Not likely...Ed.)
Hari concludes: "These sprinklings of sanity - onto a very extreme program - are enough for a superficial, glib press to present McCain as 'bipartisan' and 'centrist.'"

Despite the writer's view that McCain has some "undesireable" (to conservatives) tendencies, he goes up a notch or two any time a liberal believes he is the one most likely to defeat Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in 2008!
That, frankly, is our bottom line!
The rest, we believe, can be "dealt with." (Ed...)
