You can find the report on The Huffington Post. What, I wonder, would be an appropriately pejorative phrase to apply to McCain? Any ideas?

what's really strange is mccain is far left...he's only pretending to be middle of the road and a conservative until he's elected. one rule of thumb that should be heeded by all americans no matter your personal political persuasion....don't ever trust any political, democrat or republican, conservative or liberal.

Many who oppose the war now do so in "hindsight" and we know hindsight is always 20/20. In other words they were for the war initially but since it was not over in 3 days like the first Gulf War they now find reasons to oppose it as time goes on. A perfect example is Hillary Clinton. I also recall Chuck Hagel being on the original band wagon to authorize the president to use force. Hagel more than most in the congress should understand the negative effects on our troops and on the war effort when spineless politicians loose their resolve and their stomachs to see something through.

Not all people who oppose the war are leftist nitwits but a very large percentage of those that do are leftist pacifists who would not fight anyone or anything under any circumstances.

What I would like to know is if people believe that only the three categories exist? I think that McCain has risen above a lot of the stereotypes associated with his party. He seems to be a fairly independent minded individual and I can respect that, especially when you consider the people in power and the pressure they have applied to ensure conformity. I disagree with his statement, however and feel that it is merely a defense mechanism to try and rally an emotional response rather than an intelligent one. All of us, individually have our reasons for supporting or opposing the war, and most of us are very patriotic.

I would have voted for McCain, back in 2000, but today I would not. Obviously those opposed to this war are not all "far left". And obviously McCain is pandering to the far right when he says they are. I thought McCain was a centrist. Now I believe he is ambidextrous.

It's fine to oppose the war whether your a lefty, a right winger, or an independent. My problem is with people who slam our troops. As far a McCain is concerned, he will say whatever it takes to get elected, just like the rest of them.

Chuck Hagel, far left? Hmmmm.
Wrong, maybe - but far left? No way.
