McCain is way overrated as a politician. For those who still had hope on the man being somewhat of the character he played a few years ago, here's this gem:

QUOTE
HUNT: Why not ask some wealthy Americans to pay more?

MCCAIN: Uh, umm, I’m not sure that that’s connected. I think if we have to, we ought to make some choices in defense spending if we need to.

HUNT: So you would resist asking more affluent Americans to pay more taxes to help support this war?

MCCAIN: Yeah, because then… I’m not sure what the point would be. I would certainly ask Americans to serve. I would ask them to make other sacrifices, but I’m not sure I would want to raise their taxes just because we’re in a war.

EDIT:
Washington Post article.

In addtion to that, here's an update on the current (and the projected) cost of the war.

Honestly, I've become a libertarian (google it) more than an actual liberal.

Could I still be a member of this club?

I don't see why it should be a problem, since this guild isn't formed along a party line but rather collects influences from liberal minded people from different world locations.

Not exactly a surprise, but still worth being mentioned in here. Obama is now officially running for president.

CNN article.

BBC Article.

Obama collects 1.3 million dollars from a fund-raiser held in Los Angeles, which supposes a good head start as opposed to the other candidates for the democratic primaries (with the exception of Hillary Clinton, quite probably).
