You’re schedule was too busy, huh? That’s just BS. You’re too afraid to debate Huckabee without Romney around to help you maintain the focus on the two of you. You know you’d lose. You have shown where your priorities lie. (oops, didn’t really mean that play on words… heh, yes, I did!) Well, ‘my friend’, you’re the loser because you have permanently lost my vote.</p> So McCain, too busy BBQ-ing for a GOP debate? You’re schedule was too busy, huh? That’s just BS.

Despite the criticism here, and some justified of MSNBC, I consider they have enough good people on that it’s a better choice and you don’t have that many for political TV. MacNeil Lehrer and C-Span yeah when they are doing it.</p> LOL Anchor Daren Kagen once was dating of all people Rush the Limpjaw before she left CNN.

If the two confront each other in the presidential election the gloves will come off, and Obama will be battered. Yes, the Republican MSM would prefer that McCain wins and will do what it can to help, but they will win if either of these slimy creatures is elected.

Now, you need to know this county is as republican as the day is long…there is nooo way that they suddenly turned “liberal”.
