John McCAIN/Pres George Washington commonality, a prerequisite for the
Oval Office?
George Washington wasn't always the
dour icon of the dollar bill. At the Battle
of Monmouth, he laced into Gen. Charles
Lee for retreating instead of attacking.
Burke Davis explains in ''George Washington
and the American Revolution'' (Random House, 1975):
Washington roared: ''Whatever your opinions,
sir, I expect my orders to be obeyed! . . .'' Lee
protested once more that his plan of attack
had been foiled by disobedient subordinates.
Others were to recall that Washington cursed
Lee in a fury. General Scott cherished a long
memory that Washington ''swore till the leaves
shook on the trees.''

McCain betrayed America on Alaskan oil drilling and offshore oil drilling,
and on illegal immigration, and he betrayed his party on McCain-Feingold.
He's a big phony.
He's even worse than Rudy, because McCain should know better. I don't expect
a former NYC mayor to know much about conservative political philosophy.
Maybe Jesus can raise Ronald Reagan from the dead and restore his health!
