I see that John McCain has made a statement critcizing unnamed Republicans and Republican operatives for their intolerance regarding Jeffords moderate political position.
He all but blamed these people for Jeffords' defection.
Way to go, John...
It seems to me that the old internal feud within the Rebublican Party between moderates and conservatives has once again heated up and perhaps will burst into open flame.
Dubya is going to spend the rest of his term stuck between a rock and a hard place. He should be very, very worried.
McCain is 100% right. There's no excuse for the kind of b.s. that led to Jefford jumping parties. Someone within the GOP was obviously asleep at the wheel... again.
They're all a bunch of coniving crooks and thieves.

The republican party has been moving to the suicidally extreme right. The current Bush administration stakes positions far to the right of any significant US leader in modern times. His talks of bipartisanship are grotesquely hypocritical as he does not seek compromise, but just asks for everyone to support his radicalism. R. Reagan seems liberal in comparison. May more traditionally GOP politicians recognize how far from the mainstream the party has drifted and leave it.

That was a very honorable statement made by McClain, I am impressed by his honesty. Of course, he will probably be tortured for it.
