I smell a trap...a "division in the Republican party" type of trap.

STAY OUT OF IT!

When asked say, " The Senator has said he is not guilty and i think he should let the legal system play out."

Until then he should stay out of the entire situation.

Stevens should stay in the Senate voting away until and unless he is found guilty in a court of law. Just like the toe tapper.

What about the congressman with all the $$$ in his freezer in LA?

Jefferson somebody? Democrat??

Stay out of it McCain

Good people NEVER take glee in other people's disgrace or misery or misfortunes. Instead, we express our sorrow and disappointment when others suffer disgrace or let us down. This is what separates us from, raises us above the far left loons.

McCain has so far stayed out of this scandal, and that's a good thing. Chuck Todd, liberals and muslims dance on the graves of those they hate. remember how muslims danced after 9/11? It would be disgusting for McCain to "dance on this guy's political grave". Your and a## Mr. Todd. I didn't dance when Saddam was captured or executed. I was both glad that he had been captured and the end of his reign was over and sad that his life went the way it did.

...Republicans generally don't eat their own. It is respectful that Senator McCain leave this one be for the Dems and the pundits. They will make political hay, as they did in the Larry Craig mess.

While senators and house members may have rivalries and heated debate on the floor, no one should be 'grave dancing'...it's a damned shame because it refelcts on ALL on the Congress and their lofty 9% approval rating.

I hafta say I'm with the other posters here on NB. Pointing and laughing at someone else's drama would not make McCain look any better.

The best thing for McCain is to say "I respect him as my colleague and will wait for the evidence to come out."

Americans are getting tired of having a Congress full of 12 year olds.

If he had the time John McCain might probably take advantage of Senator Stevens' predicament. But with such a hectic schedule John McCain must focus on the most important priorities. Those priorities begin with his favorite pastime, something that he has enjoyed doing in the Senate for many, many, many years: kissing up to his very good friends on the other side of the aisle.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports in an article titled McCain extends olive branch to Pelosi, Gore that McCain: pledged that if elected president, he would work closely with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praising her as an effective leader and an "inspiration to millions of Americans."

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. "We talk about (New York Sen.) Hillary Clinton and her inspiration to millions of Americans. Speaker Pelosi has been an inspiration as well" in a role that is "in many ways ... more powerful than the president."

During the same interview with the Chronicle Republican presumptive nominee Senator McCain also heaped praise on Al Gore, Nobel Prize Winner, environmental guru, author (An Inconvenient Truth), movie star (An Inconvenient Truth), multi-millionaire, and although NOT the inventor of the internet provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication..

The Chronicle reports: “McCain said that while he differs with Gore on the importance of nuclear power, "I do believe that his goals and his priorities and the visibility that he's given the issue has been good for America and the world."

This is the John McCain that Democrats, Liberals, RINOs, MSNBC and even a few Conservatives (VERY FEW) have come to know and love. As former Republican Governor of Massachusetts Jane Swift said: “not only willingness, but his demonstrated willingness to reach across the aisle to address some of the most vexing issues facing our country.”  One of the most important issues she is referring to, of course, is climate change.

This is the John McCain we will have to look forward to if he is elected President of the United States.  John McCain or Barack Obama - What a choice for Conservatives such as myself.

I thought term limits were supposed to be a good thing?

Enough with these pensioned life time congressional types, vote them out once they reach pork barrel status.
