Once again, t...Doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Once again, the Democrats will betray the people who elected them because the Republicans will say nasty things about them for the rest of their lives ("You lost that war! You pulled out just when we were beginning to win! You listened to the American people!") unless they do.<BR/><BR/>As for John McCain, let's just say the Straight Talk Express left the station a long time ago. He learned if he was going to get along with "W" he would have to go along with him, and he still thinks he's gonna win the nomination. He once was a better man, but the inevitable compromises have beaten the fire out of him and all he wants now is to say he won the Presidency. We could do worse (look at what we've got now!) but if only he had won the Republican nomination the first time out -- before he learned reality's lessons -- or run as a Third Party candidate against Bush, we would be living in a better world today. <BR/><BR/>As for me, I've just got to get over wishing the past would change.Mary Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515655542270431289noreply@blogger.com
