John McCain is a great American but has a liberal streak that drives many conservatives nuts. He is however rock solid on two important issues.
#1 The War. His support for the war particularly when everyone else was running away is the 2nd of two debts that this country can never repay to him.
#2 Earmarks. When it comes to Pork McCain is very serious and not shy about his hatred of it.
This being the case why are people on the right surprised by this:
Too good to check? Maybe, but I don’t think Maverick’s bluffing this time. So craptastic is this crap sandwich that Democrat Ben Nelson felt obliged to warn The One this morning that he can’t count on a straight party-line yes from his own side, hint hint.
McCain is like Bush in one respect. When he thinks he is right no power on earth will move him elsewhere. He believes earmarks and wasteful spending are a curse on the country no amount of Obama worship is going to change him on it any more than the One is going to change him on the war.
There are many issues that the left will love him on but this isn’t one of them.
