“McCain looks far less tough than he pretends to be.”
McCain spent more time in a communist prison than Obama has spent in the Senate. I think his toughness is well established.
I think you really mean to say that you don’t agree with all of his policies. That’s fine. Neither do I. But our choice is not John McCain or some perfect conservative. Our choice is John McCain or Barack Obama. The primaries are over!

Not the kind of toughness that’s needed in the Oval Office these days and times. You know, the 12 - 20 million illegal aliens are “all God’s children.” Well, God has about 6,5000,000 children on this earth now and several hundred million of them would like to come to the US, or perhaps a billion or two.
We need the toughness that can say no to the unending litany of sob stories and make us a nation of laws again. It’s just almost beyond belief that so many of our high officials rationalize away the need to enforce our laws, and McCain is one of the most guilty of all. Both our presidential choices are awful, and working towards improving the Congress and fielding a better candidate in 2012 is more important than trying to prop up McCain as anything other than what he is: a Democrat in Republican clothing.
Notice how quickly he forgot about how he “got the message” on immigration and went back to “comprehensive” reform after he had the nomination? He’ll forget about tax cuts and other promises just as quickly if he wins.
