What goes around, comes around. Sen. McCain's long-time allegiance to President Bush has finally paid off. His position on the Iraqi war, amnesty bill, Free Trade bills, prescriptive drug bill, pension exemption for corporations bill, the China negotiation process, you name it, Sen. McCain was behind Bush all the way. What with all the talk about change, even by McCain, guess who endorses McCain? The establishment! Sen.

He was brutally trashed by those supporters of Bush in South Carolina in 2000, but said nothing (perhaps because of what happened to him in Vietnam). He did not blame President Bush.
