That's an interesting thought, but I would go with represents the left. But label of left and right, what do they mean. This is what all Americans should hope all Americans embrace. Below is what the Kenneth E. Phillips types want censored out of America. HONESTY IN GOVERNMENT Teddy Roosevelt said this on May 12, 1900 .. .while he was still governor of New York. Too bad we don't have more people who feel this way today. "We can afford to differ on the currency, the tariff, and foreign policy; but we cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure ... "Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity "The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty, the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. "No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community... "'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. "Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious." boortz.com

McCain's political role model is Bill Clinton. He tried to do to the GOP what Clinton did to the DNC with a little dash of Perot: bring the party to what he thought was the middle. But perhaps the true mettle of this genuine war hero was revealed when, in apparent desperation, he went after the religious right when his poorly organized 2000 presidential campaign started to collapse. That in turn is why he remains one of the few conservative darlings of the liberal press. That's actually not a bad place to be for the only Republican among the infamous Keating Five, but it's just too bad that there's a war going on that requires moral clarity and more than just vigorous lip service.
