Can we stop calling him "Maverick" now?
Faced with a vote to ban waterboarding or to acquiesce to President Bush and side with him on torture, Mr. Straight Talk decided to bend over, spread wide for the Republicans and vote against the bill that contains a provision from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that establishes one interrogation standard, requiring the intelligence community to abide by the same standards as articulated in the Army Field Manual and banning waterboarding.
The bill still passed 51-45, with every Republican voting against it, save Dick Luger and Chuck Hagel. Holy Joe LIEberman, Independent "Democrat" voted against banning waterboarding as well. The Republicans didn't put up much of a fight in expectation of a Bush veto.
Thank you for playing, Mr. McCain. We have some lovely parting gifts for you.

Mr.straight talk had many times repeatedly said he was against torture and has used his POW experience as to why he was so opposed.Congratulations Mcc!Now when members of our military get caught and tortured,they can thank you for giving the enemy the justification to do unto us as we do unto them!Burn the Geneva convention and any other treaties you dont like.Its worked so well in showing the world we are no longer the example of decency and justice.Anybody who follows the lead of the president with the lowest ever approval ratings deserves everything they've got coming to them.
