Not all Republicans Like McBush As He Continues Showing His Huge Lack of Integrity
Not all Republicans are enamored by John Sidney McBush.
While eyes were focused on the Obama-Clinton results in North Carolina and Indiana, McCain should be concerned with his showing.
As John Nichols at the Nation writes, "Despite the fact that all-but-coronated Republican nominee John McCain was running essentially without opposition Tuesday, 27 percent of Republican primary participants in North Carolina cast their votes for a candidate other than McCain. In Indiana, 23 percent of Republican primary voters rejected the senator from Arizona.
"In both primary states, Republicans in many counties registered even greater opposition to McCain than was suggested in the statewide totals. In North Carolina, for instance, 43 percent of the voters in rural Madison County rejected the presumptive nominee, while a third of the voters in the populous Mecklenburg County cast anti-McCain votes. Most of those votes went to Paul, whose genuinely maverick candidacy has attracted backers who are not at all certain to back McCain in November.
In addition, Bob Barr may run as the Libertarian presidential candidate which would not be happy news for McCain.
Meanwhile, McHypocrite still keeps silent about his homophobic, anti-Catholic right wing, nutty endorser, Pastor John Hagee.
And Jim Webb was quite correct to say that McAnti-GI Bill was "full of it." Think Progress shows how full of it he is.
"A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report analyzing the impact of the GI Bill shows that McCain is indeed “full of it.” While the report explains that troop retention will decline because some troops will take advantage of their new education benefits, the loss in retention will be entirely made up for by increased military recruits:

John Sidney McHypocrite is just another lack of integrity poster boy.Literature on the effects of educational benefits on retention suggest that every $10,000 increase in educational benefits yields a reduction in retention of slightly more than 1 percentage point. CBO estimates that S. 22 (as modified) would more than double the present value of educational benefits for servicemembers at the first reenlistment point — from about $40,000 to over $90,000 — implying a 16 percent decline in the reenlistment rate, from about 42 percent to about 36 percent. […]
Educational benefits have been shown to raise the number of military recruits. Based on an analysis of the existing literature, CBO estimates that a 10 percent increase in educational benefits would result in an increase of about 1 percent in high-quality recruits. On that basis, CBO calculates that raising the educational benefits as proposed in S. 22 would result in a 16 percent increase in recruits.
