While reading about Republicans against Maverick McCain - I came across this article written by one Pat Buchanan. My favorite part is where he voted to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg (assuming Buchanan has his facts straight).

PJB: Why McCain Would be Worse Than Bush
by Patrick J. Buchanan
In 2004, the voters of Arizona, by 56 percent to 44 percent, enacted Proposition 200, requiring proof of citizenship before an individual may vote or receive state benefits. Forty-six percent of Hispanics voted for Prop. 200, giving the lie to those who say Hispanics support the illegal invasion of their country.
Over 190,000 Arizonans petitioned to put Prop. 200 on the ballot. As it simply required proof of citizenship before receiving the benefits and privileges of citizenship, who could oppose it? Answer: the entire GOP congressional delegation, led by Sen. John McCain.
This is the same John McCain who battled the border fence and colluded with Teddy Kennedy on the amnesty bill rejected by Congress last year after a national uproar.
Bottom line: If the presidential race is between Hillary and Amnesty John, the border security battle is over and lost. As Laura Ingraham asks, â??If Congress passes McCain-Kennedy in 2009, would President McCain sign it?â?
For conservatives, the stakes could not be higher.
For on the great controversies, McCain has sided as often with the Democrats and the Big Media that pay him court as with conservatives.
Where President Bush has been bravest, on taxes and judges, McCain has been his nemesis. Not only did McCain vote against the Bush tax cuts twice, he colluded to sell out the most conservative of the Bush nominees to the courts.
In 1993, McCain voted to confirm ACLU liberal and pro-abortion Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But when Bush set out to restore constitutionalism, McCain colluded with Democrats who wanted to retain power to kill Bushâ??s most conservative nominees.
McCain helped form the Gang of 14, including seven Democrats, who agreed to block a GOP Senate from using the â??nuclear optionâ? â?? allowing a simple GOP majority to break a Democrat filibuster of judicial nominees â?? unless the seven Democrats approved. McCain thus conspired with liberals to put at risk the most courageous conservatives nominees of President Bush.
With his record of voting for liberal justices Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, and of colluding with Democrats in their campaign to kill the most conservative Bush nominees, what guarantee is there a President McCain will nominate and fight for the fifth jurist who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade?
In the battle over campaign finance reform, McCain colluded again. The McCain-Feingold law denies to gun folks and right-to-lifers their basic First Amendment right to name friends and foes in ads run before elections.
As for the policies that have transparently failed Bush and the nation, McCain remains an obdurate advocate.
After America has run five straight record trade deficits that have denuded the nation of thousands of factories and 3 million manufacturing jobs, McCain is still babbling on about Smoot-Hawley.
â??When you study history, every time weâ??ve adopted protectionism, weâ??ve paid a very heavy price,â? McCain told a Detroit paper after informing Michiganders their auto jobs are never coming back.
But what history is John McCain talking about?
Was the Tariff of 1816, which saved infant U.S. industries from the malicious dumping by British merchants after the War of 1812, a failure? Were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Calhoun and Henry Clay fools to support President Madisonâ??s tariff?
From Abraham Lincoln through Calvin Coolidge, the Republican Party â?? the Party of Protection â?? put 12 presidents in the White House to two for the Democrats, and the United States became the mightiest industrial power in history, producing 42 percent of the worldâ??s manufactured goods.
This is failure â?? while Bush free trade is a success? Tell it to Ohio.
Even Hillary Clinton, whose husband enacted NAFTA with McCainâ??s support, has begun to question the NAFTA paradigm. Not McCain.
Where Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon came to office determined to extricate the nation with honor from a war whose costs had begun to outweigh any benefit, McCain is talking about spending 50 or 100 years in Iraq.
Where Bush, by moving NATO onto Russiaâ??s doorstep, planting bases in Central Asia and intervening in the affairs of Russiaâ??s neighbors, has undone the work of Reagan in making Russia a friend, he sounds like George McGovern alongside the braying McCain, who canâ??t wait to get into Vladimir Putinâ??s face.
Where Bush finally cleansed his administration of neocons, if not of their legacy, a McCain candidacy is the last, best hope of a neocon restoration and new military adventures in the Middle East.
If Rudy Giuliani founders in Florida, neocons will be chanting, â??Mac is back!â?
The three issues that ruined the Bush presidency are this misbegotten war in Iraq, the failure to secure Americaâ??s borders from invasion and a mindless trade policy that has destroyed the dollar and left foreigners with $5 trillion to buy up America at fire-sale prices.
McCain remains an unthinking advocate of all three.
But where Bush was at his best, on taxes and judges, McCain was collaborating with Hillary. The question conservatives may face if McCain is nominated is not whom should I vote for, but should I vote.

Russian reaction to Sarah Palin and the GOP ticket. They pretty much nail it and I find no reason to believe the international community at large would feel any different.

i like this one from as well from the post…
This, McCain and his female Sancho Panza say, is demonstrated by bad associations Obama had in Chicago, such as with William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. But the McCain-Palin charges have come just as the Obama campaign is benefiting from a mass mailing it is not paying for. Many millions of American households are gingerly opening envelopes containing reports of the third-quarter losses in their 401(k) and other retirement accounts – telling each household its portion of the nearly $2 trillion that Americans' accounts have recently shed.
In this context, the McCain-Palin campaign's attempt to get Americans to focus on Obama's Chicago associations seems surreal – or, as a British politician once said about criticism he was receiving, "like being savaged by a dead sheep."

i'm assuming some policy wonk/DC insider here will know the answers to this: do US senators have to undergo any sort of background check? they have access to info that would require security clearance- do they need to get one before taking office?
Originally posted by sweetcell:No. I'm sure they get this clearance after being elected, but there is not a requirement that they be able to pass a background check as other federal or state employees might undergo.

Heh, Chaz, thank you for posting that, I was wondering what the Russians thought of Palin's inanity. Putin himself must be rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of America's intellectual and leadership stature becoming so thoroughly debased if she wins.
Sweetcell, a background check might be required for members of Congress to view classified information, but to require such a check just to hold office would be unconstitutional. Most Congressmen and Senators don't access this information anyway, you have to sit on certain committees and be of certain stature.
