This blog entry was inspired by Lorie Byrd's 2/1/97 column "Why are so many Republicans freaking out about John McCain's primary success"?
The link to that column is as follows:

In my opinion the words in the title of this blog entry fairly well characterize John McCain's attitude to anyone who is not John McCain.
And I like John McCain. I would love to vote for him, except.........
I cannot vote (even holding my nose) for someone who, with respect to securing our borders, said something to the effect that "if they want the fence, then I'll build the goddamned fence."
McCain said that he has "gotten the message."
McCain has no more gotten the message than the man in the moon.
McCain has absolutely no idea of the depth of anger, pure anger, that most Americans can barely contain when faced with non-action concerning the state of illegal immigration or the presence of illegal aliens in our midst -- including illegal aliens comprising more than one-quarter of our prison population, with many more likely simply running unfettered, free to rape and pillage and murder at will.
McCain appears to be oblivious to and certainly impervious to the opinion of the majority of American people that we want a stop to the invasion of our country, and that we want a true solution, not amnesty, to the problem of aliens who have already invaded. He may have an inkling; however, he appears not to give a tinker's dam.
McCain is seemingly completely obtuse concerning the numbers of people who will hold their noses and vote for someone -- anyone -- who is not John McCain.
McCain will be surprised that there are people who do not worship him enough to hold their noses and vote for him.
He will lose the election -- if nominated.
Why will McCain lose the election? Because he is supercilious, arrogant, bumptious (one of my father's favorite words), condescending, pompous, snooty and sneering.
Contrary to his apparent thoughts on the subject, the American people "get it."
I pity us all.
