Bob Cusack @ The Hill: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was close to leaving the Republican Party in 2001, weeks before then-Sen. Jim Jeffords (Vt.) famously announced his decision to become an Independent, according to former Democratic lawmakers who say they were involved in the discussions.

    There is alot of false spin regarding McCain. It seems to me the big problem that some on our side have, is that he tries to work with democrats in areas that he feels he needs to. I respect McCain for standing on his principles, even when it’s not the most politically expedient thing to do. To say that means he “hates” conservatives or anyone else is a stretch. (not saying you said that)

    Anyway, that’s my two cents. I’m so frustrated at the hatefest on hotair, everyone trying to outconservative each other. I think i’ll spend the rest of my evening perusing your blog. I post comments under myamphibian btw.
