I received this last night:
"We cannot again leave our problems for another unluckier generation of Americans to fix after they have become even harder to solve. I'm not interested in partisanship that serves no other purpose than to gain a temporary advantage over our opponents. This mindless, paralyzing rancor must come to an end. We belong to different parties, not different countries. We are rivals for the same power. But we are also compatriots. We are fellow Americans, and that shared distinction means more to me than any other association. I intend to prove myself worthy of the office; of our country; and of your respect. I won't judge myself by how many elections I've won. I won't spend one hour of my presidency worrying more about my re-election than keeping my promises to the American people. There is a time to campaign, and a time to govern. If I'm elected president, the era of the permanent campaign will end. The era of problem solving will begin. I promise you, from the day I am sworn into office until the last hour of my presidency, I will work with anyone, of either party, to make this country safe, prosperous and proud. And I won't care who gets the credit."
Putting country ahead of party, working with others so the "era of problem solving will begin," and the "shared distinction" of being American meaning more to McCain "than any other association," does all that lead one to call their opponent an "appeaser" and compare them to Neville Chamberlain's bowing before the Nazis?

What a wonderful email…I agree with every word. But I have no confidence that McBush means it.
Boxturtle (In fact, my first reaction was Bullshit. Squared)
Too late.
We intend to look at your record, senator.
Don’t forget his plans…we’re going to look there too. With special attention to the places where you say one thing and do another.

Hi Boxy!
No doubt we’ll look at his plans. but for a guy touting experience he sure doesn’t want us to evaluate it at all.
I hate it when career politicians say they are going to give us the moon when they’ve had plenty of chances to do so already.
You know, McCain is really reminding me a lot of Mitt “I’ll say anything” Romney these days.
As John Mitchell (Nixion’s Attorney General?) said, I believe:
Don’t listen to what we say,
Watch what we do.
