I understand your position, and find your passion admirable. However, if you review the materials collected and linked in my initial message, I believe you will come to understand, as I did, that the good in McCain is illusory, a product of wishful thinking, and based only in undeserved inference by the party tag he deceptively wears.
Get back to me when you have an alternative that can actually win an election. By that I don’t mean this BS the RNC puts out that we need moderates to carry the banner, I mean get back to me when you have a guy or gal who can convince the convention to go brokered even though we have a clear winner in pledged delegates.
I believe that every politician hides behind a facade.
Smiling and motivational speaking not only works for politicians. Smiling and motivational speaking also worked for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jim Jones, David Koresh and many others. Those names live in infamy because of what they accomplished. What has trouble surviving history is HOW they accomplished their objectives.
I have no doubt McCain lives behind a facade. But is a facade reasonable in comparison to two other candidates who actually live in disneyland? I can fully understand their motives of power and socialist doctrine.
I don’t know for sure what motivates McCain. But I suspect he would love to cause injury to the VC who tortured him in N Viet Nam. Of Anyone who would know the ugly face of communist oppression, I would believe John McCain has the inside information. He may appear to be a soft spoken grandparent image. But he could have a fist of iron.
The wealth of knowledge our elders possess is invaluable and should not be overlooked.
