MCCAIN A MAN OF PRINCIPLE?

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY THE DAILY TELEGRAPH'S TOBY HARNDEN

McCain a man of principle?

Toby, what perverse set of principles provides your standard?

Bombing civilians in Hanoi?

Crawling, literally crawling, around campaign stages in support of re-electing the first Trailer Park President?

Speaking in the Senate in favor of Bush's Torture Bill?

Saying the CIA's waterboarding of prisoners wasn't so bad?

The last two must surely have earned McCain a special place in hell.

Your reference to the American Civil War is more suitable than you perhaps realize.

The Confederacy was often called 'the lost cause.'
