Of course he feels, like I do McCain will do a better job on the WOT, but other than that there is not a dimes worth of difference between osama obama and McCain.
I think the differences are a bit more profound than that. Say what we will about McCain, he didn't begin his political career at the knee of domestic terrorists like William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn.
They are both for opening the floodgate for illegals. Neither are for drilling anywhere there is oil and until recently McCain was not even for new drilling anywhere.
McCain is now on the record of putting border security first, before any sort of immigration reform. I'm concerned about that too, but all we have is what he said. If he tries that Kennedy Amnesty crapola again, well sure: it will be obvious he's been playing us for suckers, but I don't see that. On Oil? I'm optimistic that Governor Palin will be able to show McCain the error of his ways, he didn't select her to be a lapdog agreeing with everything he says, he expects her to offer options and alternate ways of looking at things.
Neither are for reducing taxes. McCain SAYS he will not raise taxes, but he did vote against the Bush tax cut and voted against extending it.
McCain is going to look at the numbers and do what is best for the economy. He doesn't need a recession or worse anymore than ANY President does. Assuming he is elected, he will inherit a dangerous world, and he won't need economic instability on the home front. I think that realism will carry the day on that.
Both are going to work to destroy America. The difference is if Osama does it the dimwits will be blamed, if McCain does it the Republicans will be blamed.
Do you honestly believe that in McCain's heart-of-hearts, that all he wants to do is 'destroy America'? I could believe that of Obama and the Marxist thugs that are hoping to seize control of our Nation, but McCain isn't looking to destroy America, and even if he were, his conservative Vice President would have something to say about it.

He started his with Charles Keatinig and the Keating 5

It is pretty obvious that is what he has been doing for the last year.

Do you really think Gov. Palin is going to have any influence on John McCain. He picked her (which is the best decision he has ever made) because it was in his best interest. Everything he does is calculated. What is going to be best for him.
McCain is going to look at the numbers and do what is best for the economy.
Again, McCain will do what he thinks will get him the most attention. He is much more concerned with John McCain than America.
Do you honestly believe that in McCain's heart-of-hearts, that all he wants to do is 'destroy America'?
No I do not think he consciously wants to destroy America, but I do think he is more concerned about John McCain than he is about anything else.
I think we have to look out for the long term good of our country, rather than just vote for the less of two evils.
