This is almost poetic justice. I guess now that the republican party has been sent to the minority in both houses of congress, it's time for the minor winguts with Delusions of Grandeur to step forth. Case in Point: Sam Brownback of Kansas (what's the matter with Kansas...? Progressive Governor, asshat Senators).
Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, a favorite of the religious right, said Monday he is taking the first step toward launching a bid for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.
A vigorous abortion opponent, the Kansas senator pledged to make "issues of life," fiscal restraint and tax reform key components of his effort to woo supporters.
That's gotta make recently-religious St. John McCain a widdle bit nervous. After he just got done licking Jerry Falwell's fat asscrack, and taking a remote anal-probe from Bob Jones U to confirm his "boner fides" he's about to get smacked by their boy Sammy Bareback errr Brownback in the '08 run for the brass ring. Others from the right on the make to inherit the crown of the current dunce-in-charge include:
Apart from McCain and Giuliani, other potential GOP contenders for the White House include Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Gov. George Pataki of New York, Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California and former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson.
It must be something in the water... what water, I don't know but with the exception of perhaps Hagel, what a bunch of pathetic losers.

I really cannot think of a period in time, during my adult life where I either liked, or admired a Republican. I guess the last one that I felt was truly honest was Ike. But that was in a time where conservatives were truly honest.
As far as Johnny McCain goes, he is no more than a polititian. A bloviator extraordinaire. He was, each and every time I met him (On Bora Bora) the perfect place to stick the enema hose. Straight talk is a figment of his fertile imagination. He should be called "Anyway the wind blows"...
Hell, he is really no different than Gingrich, Frist, DeLay and all the scumbags.
Pious to a fault, and full of shit to the brim...
I have to say that Senator Hagel has been upfront and very direct about his dislike of the BushCo crew. I have actually called up his office in Lincoln and talked to his folks there and basically said "you're not going to get a lot of calls like this, but I'm a Democrat from California just calling to say thanks to the Senator for standing up against this Administraiton and calling them like he sees them. I'm sure he's not getting alot of love from his side of the aisle."
Don't know if I could ever vote for him, but he certainly has my respect for his service to our country both in and out of uniform.
Pataki: No chance in hell
Brownback: No chance in hell
Gingrich: Don't make me friggin' laugh
Romney: Not top tier... and his name is "Mitt" for God's sake... and being a Mormon won't help him at all
Hagel: Ok, but his name is Chuck, can we have a President named Chuck?
Actually, none of the Republicans have much going for them. McCain tries to pose as a maverick outsider, but nothing could be further from the truth.
