Arianna Huffington, I never cared much for you

Huffington has always been a little crazy. She is like the Ann Coulter of the far left, just not as lizard-like as Ann. Her opinions are usually over the top and whenever I see her in a debate I want duct tape her mouth shut. Huffington almost always starts out with a logical argument and then turns into a rabid dog by the end of any debate. If any of you have seen her on Bill Maher, you know exactly what I am talking about.

Today Arianna has gone after John McCain an article called "End of a Romance: Why the Media and Independent Voters Need to Break Up with John McCain", saying about McCain, "If you love George Bush, and all that he's brought you over the last seven years, you're gonna love John McCain." She goes into a rant about McCain loving Karl Rove and McCain wanting to spend 1,000 years in Iraq. This is from the same woman that had invited McCain to be a guest speaker at one of her own conventions.

I'll give Huffington some credit. She did briefly go into why she liked John McCain at one point in time. Huffington wrote, "The old John McCain once stood tall as a fearless leader on immigration, co-sponsoring a humane, bipartisan reform bill with Ted Kennedy." Sadly, she fails to mention campaign reform, voting against tax cuts for the rich, and forming the gang of 14 that kept the far right from appointing hard core conservative federal judges. McCain also supports embryonic stem cell research and is firmly against torture, another reason the far right does not like him.

Ms. Huffington takes a very "what have you done for me lately" stance, ironically the same stance Ingram took with McCain at CPAC, with a man that has been very moderate and independent throughout his career and is in the middle of winning the Republican nomination. What exactly is he supposed to do? Tell the far right to go to hell and then get destroyed in the general election?

She isn't being fair to John McCain. I guess I shouldn't expect fairness from a liberal extremist. They are now in attack mode...go after the opposition no matter who it is. A fair warning to you Ms Huffington, John McCain will be returning to the Senate and he is not the kind of political beast you want to upset.....don't make John McCain angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.
