I've linked to a 'Yahoo!' News story that really got under my skin. I think I will have to do research on the writer because she is either working for Obama, or she bumped her head, or she is taking some serious psychedelic medications.

John McCain and Barack Obama are polar opposites? What planet does this woman live on? John McCain is as liberal as you can be and still be considered a 'moderate'. He isn't a moderate, he's a liberal. Since we keep changing the definition of the terms moderate and conservative however, I guess by the new (but not improved) American definition of 'moderate', McCain fits.
McCain has the liberal view of immigration, global warming, energy policy, freedom of speech (or lack thereof) etc., etc. The only thing he has a somewhat conservative viewpoint on is the war on Islamic Terrorists. I don't believe that he is a true believer on taxes, but he knows he needs to throw a little bone to true conservatives. How about throwing a REAL bone, like changing your liberal viewpoints, and also picking a conservative running mate. How about after picking your running mate, throwing out conservatives for cabinet positions as well. Conservatives are not buying that McCain is the second coming of Ronald Reagan, and please stop using Reagan's name in your speeches. This is what we want Senator McCain:
OR
OR
EVEN
These men may not be perfect, but they are far better than you Senator, and if you want conservatives to trust you, we need to know that the next in line IS a conservative, and will stand up for conservative principles.

Interestn article. They (the press) just want to paint McCain as Bush (like he was a conservative).
Since Obama got the delegates (yesterday) evey story I've read about McCain is Democratic party line. You know, :McCain to 'attack' Obama" ect.
Well that's how the media rolls. Once they got the GOP candidate that they liked best, they started working on how they could get their real candidate in.
I haven't heard too much about 'maverick' lately, and I'm sure it will be less and less as November approaches.
The press don't paint McCain't as the CONservative he is, they paint him as some kind of "maverick" to distract you from the fact that he's a CONservative.
