The duplicitous "Saint" John McCain

I'm now embarassed to admit it, but I'm still on the McCain mailing list. (I was a supporter in 2000.)

The reason I admit this now is because I want to call bullshit on McCain's statement regarding the surge,

"I have presidential ambitions, but they pale in comparison to what I think is most important to our nation's security. If it destroys any ambitions I may have, I'm willing to pay that price gladly," McCain said."

On the night of the Bush speech, I received not one, but two calls from McCain's political operation. One before the speech, and one after. I didn't exactly hear what the "volunteers" were seeking because I was too busy shouting obscenities into the phone.

Then, a couple days later, I received a mailer from the McCain Exploratory Committee (asking for money, of course.)

These are the first contacts I've had in over a year.

I just want to point out that for all his public protestations about his "costly" position, he sure is trying to use his current prominence as "surge spokesman" to full advantage.

(BTW - I'm never getting off this list, am I? I've called, I've written, but they just keep sending me stuff.)
