All this talk is irritating to me, because there are some people out there who actually care about winning the war on terror. And the Republican Party in general and John McCain in particular remain our best hope of doing that.
Too often, we make the perfect the enemy of the good. If you don’t think John McCain is ideologically pure enough, that’s fine. But, we’re fighting a war. Human lives hang in the balance. One of two men will take office in January — one will retreat from islamic extremists and the other will accept only victory. That’s the question of this election!
“All this talk is irritating to me, because there are some people out there who actually care about winning the war on terror.”
But for those of us who believe that the WoT will be won as much within the USA as in Iraq and all foreign nations put together, McCain looks far less tough than he pretends to be.
The twin towers were not in Baghdad. McCain’s open borders, no enforcement polices on immigration pose far more danger to US security against terrorism than anything happening overseas.
Lets see. We barely pass funding legislation now (and sometimes delayed by a month) with the congress we have.
Do you honestly think McCain will get funding passed with a +70 margin in the house and filibuster proof senate?
Naivety will be the GOP’s undoing.
What about the war here in this country with open borders?You think winning the war on terror is going to make us any safer with mcnutts kooky amnesty/open borders,restrictions on free speech etc.
To say that my issue with McCain is that he "isn't ideologically pure enough" is laughable. On many extremely important issues such as free speech and illegal immigration, he is farther to the left than many liberals. I'm not at all certain that he will name solid constructionists to the SCOTUS. His track record indicates otherwise.
Now that might sound harsh, but it pales in comparison to what Senator McCain has had to say about me over the years.
As I said, I might accept the nickle an hour I'm being offered vice the $40/hr I want, but don't tell me I'm just parsing minor issues and that I need to smile as I work.
“Too often, we make the perfect the enemy of the good.”
McCain is neither. What he MIGHT be is (slightly) less disastrous than the OTHER socialist.
