Republicans Aren't Americans? John McCain said yesterday in comments that were widely excerpted in news reports that I saw:
It's time for us to take off our Republican hats and put on our American hats.
(or something to that effect)
This seems to me to imply that while Republicans are being Republicans, they don't have the interests of the country as a whole foremost in their minds. This would be an admission on McCain's part that would confirm what I've believed about the Republican party at least since the impeachment debacle.
