Yet another sensational headline with little basis in reality, and unsupported by anything.

Typical neo-con/zionist. For more insights into a McCrazy administration one only need to view ZOA (Zionist Organization of America, JINSA, PNAC, AEI, CFR, etc.)

Of course Bolton would never hold Israel responsible for all the UN violations nor would he want the International Criminal Court in the Hague to begin the war crimes tribunals for he and the Bush administration would surely be hung for treason.

"He thought I was the type of ambassador that ought to represent the United States at the United Nations."

As usual McCaim got it wrong again. Just like his, "americans do not care if we are in Iraq 10,000 years" comment.

Diplomats are supposed to avert wars, not start them. Did John McCain go to the Marx Bros. school of foreign policy?

Bolton is the scariest man this side of a film screen. Putting him in charge of US diplomacy advances the nuclear clock to nearly midnight.

You can be assured a War with Iran, then he will say bomb all the Palestinian Terroritories, lets not forget Syria and Lebannon. This man could die his hair black, shave his mustache a little on each side, and there would stand Hitler.

If it isn't that dispicable chickenhawk Bolton,.. it will be something else that smells the same.
But no McCain, perhaps(!) no such problem.

John Bolton is probably the worst example of the American Enterprise Institute school of foreign policy that's been running the country these last few years.

Besides being dumber than a bag of hammers, he might be the most belligerent person I've ever seen. Why this chickenhawk fancies himself a diplomat I don't know.
If McCains objective is to infuriate the world further with America, then he's the one. After all things are going so well, we don't need any friends do we?

Bolton is another super-hawk that avoided service in the Vietnam War. "I confess I had no desire to die in a southeast Asia rice paddy. I considered the war already lost," Bolton wrote in a 25th law school graduation reunion yearbook. I am sure others also would have liked to sit the conflict out based on their assessment of the war.

Imagine how service in Vietnam would have changed Bolton's views. Soldiers who see combat are rarely such unflinching warhawks and as content to send others to die in rice paddies or in deserts for ideological reasons. Bolton lives for ideology only because he did not see combat and did not have to hold dying friends in his arms.

Boltan is as American as apple pie. Apple pie that is dropped from 50,000 feet and explodes when you take a bite out of it.

Elliot Abrams and Scooter Libby should get a shot as current felons. Bolton has only potential in criminal behavior.

When you sell your soul to the devil, he always gets the best of the bargain. McCain wanted to be president too much, so he grovelled to the Neocons who own Bush, promised to do whatever they demanded, so they let him have the GOP nomination. But note that those same Neocons take no chances they can avoid. Using the same MSM and the same money sources, they planned to make another soul selling politician the Democratic nominee. She would win -- and do their bidding -- or he would.

But something totally unexpected happened. The least likely kind of candidate showed up, one they could ignore, as they have ignored the needs and desires of most Americans. Maybe he will beat them. One candidate has been fighting our fight against the PACs, the MSM, the established pros, and all those elite who think it their right to own us. He hasn't been doing it with dirty politics, cheating, or by sliming his opponents. He wants to unite the country, heal its divisions. Politics as usual won't do that.

We can stop fighting needless wars, stop stealing from working people to fatten the parasitical rich. Patriotism is good when it is the love of our own country and not something else, something frankly criminal.

Earned wealth is good. But too often excess wealth is accumulated by means other than honest earning. And too much of that kind in now deep into our government.

Defense is good. But what are we doing in so many countries that most Americans know nothing about and have no interest in? What do we facilitate by bullying those others? Global corporate looting?

And since corporate earnings are up, and CEO takings are sky high, and the cost of living is ever increasing, why are the wages of American workers not rising? Why are retirement funds shrinking? Is that why we must spend more than the rest of the world entirely on "defense"?

Only one candidate took NO lobbyist or PAC moneys, and therefore owes them NOTHING. Only one can say that he belongs solely to AMERICA.

Bolton, now come on, first crying wolf at this point in the election campaign in disingenuous. Second, did McCain actually say Bolton would be his secretary of state? Third, you thinking Bolton would get through a senate committee confirmation vote let alone a floor vote? And fourth, is John Bolton really the bogeyman? Maybe you should try substituting Bush in place of Bolton! Secretary of State Bush would be even juicier red meat for the masses.

Bolton is supposed to be a smart guy. Apparently he did well at a top school. It is really difficult to tell how smart these ideologues are because they so rarely seem to think for themselves. Bolton's opinions, as are Scalia's, are always highly predictable and show little influence by real world events. These ideologues only speak to one another.

Bolton...the American Asshole the world loves to hate! If anything shows McCain is suffering from dementia, it has to be this. This is his 'sop' to the GOP fascist wing to prove his 'conservative' values? If Bolton shows up anywhere after the election, he will be lucky to escape without being tarred and feathered.
Does 'conservative' these days mean a conscience free, hateful self absorbed jackass? Well, Bolton is your man.

I say let's make Bolton Ambassador to Cuba.

When you vote for a president, you get the party along with it, sort of like marrying not only the bride or groom, but also, the in-laws--for better or worse, until death or the next election does its part. This has to be a major component of a voter's decision. With McCain, he will come with the cadre of Bush administration apparatchiks and thugs. Bolton has been receiving a rebirth of late in wacko circles, however, if this does not work out there are many at the American Enterprise Institute (that great elephant burial ground) with a similar mentality if not so strikingly mustachioed. Every nook and cranny of a McCain administration will be peopled with Bolton-types. Every Supreme Court nominee, strenuously vetted by the Federalist Society until a Scalia clone is replicated. McCain is no innovator; his rolodex is yellow and dog-eared, like an old professor's notes. Only re-cycled and ossified ideas and men need apply for any meaningful positions. Democrats have two great candidates and a progressive party infrastructure-- when in doubt on the individual, go with the party.

Well, as much as I can't develop a commitment for either of the Democratic Party candidates I certainly will have no problem voting for whichever is in the general election if it means that Mr. Bolton will be removed from our government! The very thought of this guy being anywhere near a foreign policy development position is too scary! Bolton and all of the rest of the NeoNuts must be driven into oblivion as soon as possible or there is no hope for this country.

I was thinking Elliot Abrams or Scooter Libby, felons get first nibs.

I find it hard to believe that Bolton would find a position in a McCain administration. If there is one thing that McCain admires more than anything else it is valor in the course of military service. This was taken from Bolton's Wikipedia entry:

Bolton was born in Baltimore, Maryland. The son of a fireman[3], he grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Yale Heights and won a scholarship to the McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, graduating in 1966. He also ran the school's Students For Goldwater campaign in 1964. He then attended Yale University, where he was a member of the Yale Political Union, and where he ultimately earned a B.A. summa cum laude in 1970 and a J.D. in 1974. Though Bolton supported the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the Maryland Army National Guard and did not serve in Vietnam. He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book "I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."[4] In an interview, Bolton discussed his comment in the reunion book, explaining that he decided to avoid service in Vietnam because "by the time I was it was about to graduate in 1970, it was clear to me that Opponents of the Vietnam war had made it certain we could not prevail, and that I had no great interest in going there to have Teddy Kennedy give it back to the people I might die to take it away from." [5]

So Bolton would be willing fight in wars he thinks that America will win but not in those he thinks America might loose. His explanation sounds bogus to me. How hard would it have been for him to originally write, "I considered the war in Vietnam already lost due to Teddy Kennedy." Furthermore, if he felt the loss of American lives was indeed pointless, I wonder what he did to end the war over the next 2+ years it continued after his graduation.

This is an excellent reason to vote AGAINST McCain. John Bolton is the worst diplomat in history, and he does not represent my kind of America. He is also a warmonger of the most vicious kind. And he cares not a whit for justice. The day we eliminate such outrages from our political scene is the day America becomes healthy again.

If Bolton gets in everyone will have to wear a steel pot on their head due to him throwing staplers at staff from time to time.

John Bolton would fit right in with the crazy conservative warmonger crowd.

This Neantherdal Man disgraced and humiliated everything that was once good and fair about America.

He is a lunatic, a hateful despicable character that would fit like an OJ glove in a McCrazy administration.

The world watched in astonishment and confusion as this abominable creature was sent to the UN as our representative.

He practically single handedly destroyed our reputation as an honest broker for peace in the world.

Instead he made America the voice for insanity and mindless war the perfect choice for Mr. Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran.
