I vote McCain off the island now

Another nail in the coffin of the respect I had for John McCain, one of the few Republicans objective and principled left around.

He lost a good part of my respect when he campaigned with Bush last year. Bush didn't need his help, and McCain only did it to cozy up to the religious right so that he could run again in 2008 (without the Jesus freaks' support, Republicans need not apply anymore.)

Sickening. After the smearing Bush did to him and his wife in 2000 in order to win the nomination (that McCain almost wrestled away from him,) how could he join forces with such a sleazy person?

And now, to please the religious right again, he sides with Chimpie one more time. The topic? Intelligent Design:
McCain told the Star that, like Bush, he believes "all points of view" should be available to students studying the origins of mankind.

The theory of intelligent design says life is too complex to have developed through evolution, and that a higher power must have had a hand in guiding it.
Unbelievable, another top ranking Republican (after Frist) who comes out in support of such bullshit.

I'm starting to feel like they'll make huge strides in the upcoming years.
