    Liberals are too stupid to ever understand that what he's doing isn't stable for the country. he will via no potential stay in workplace long sufficient to have quite low scores. Like Carter, he may be a one term ask your self.

    Because McCain is a wishy washy douche. His beliefs are tailored by the "winds" of the polls.

    He, like nearly all moderates, really stands for no solid principles, is undependable, unpredictable, and is the staple of what it is to be an elitist career politician. Moderates don't constrain themselves to solid principles because that would hamper their ability to change on a dime for the polls or special interest groups in Washington.

    He's a war monger and senile.

    A bad combo.

    He went from Iraq is going to be easy to it's a quagmire.

    He said the economy was strong the day before it crashed.

    He thinks tax breaks for the rich are the only answer.

    Strike three, you're outta there.

    Actually if you compare to other senators and congressmen that is a very high approval rating.

    Harry Reids approval rating is 33% and Nancy Pelosi's is 39%.

    As I have stated before, Progressives of both parties must and will be defeated. Our great Constitution is in the middle of taking our country back and Progressives will once again, almost 100 years to the day be defeated.

    McCain is a Progressive Republican. He is not a conservative. He can't even control his own wife and daughter. They publically oppose the things he fights for in Congress. he was a terrible nominee from the Republican party..

    We need a real conservative in 2012. We need "Our Reagan" now more than ever!

    Many Americans are not happy with any incumbants (from both parties).

    Only 8 percent say incumbents should be reelected

    A stunning 8 percent of Americans believe members of Congress should be reelected, a staggering indictment of the legislative branch as Democrats prepare to defend their majority in the midterm elections.

    Eighty-one percent of people surveyed in a New York Times poll believe “it’s time to give new people a chance” to serve in Congress, the worst assessment of Congress since the newspaper began polling on this question in 1992.

    We are sick and tired ofpolitical pandering and will tolerate it no longer . The time and place for political appeasement is over , the gloves are coming off and may we never put them on again. NO MORE !

    He proved who he was first, when he wouldn't actually campaign, and second, when he voted for TARP, and third, he is revealing himself as a progressive. And now, his Valley Girl daughter is calling herself a progressive Republican. As bad as Obama is, we are lucky we didn't end up with McCain. He is a train wreck. I look forward to being one of the Arizonans who does NOT vote for him.

    Simple. He turned his back and walked away from the conservative principles that put the Republicans into power.
