Here's John McCain saying the U.S. would have to deal with Hamas because they were the elected government of Palestine: And here is his spokeslady explaining that he...

Meet Menshevik McCain

Deep, deep down in his heart, John McCain believes in Communism (Just so long as he's the Premiere). Anyone who believes that "National Service" will be "voluntary" at the end of his first term will find themselves working for free and quite disappointed. As though the government is a cause greater than me; yeah right. Thanks to Butler Shaffer.
