Why don't you address the specific issues I mentioned, instead of throwing ACU ratings around ?
What exactly are you afraid might happen if we discuss the issues, and yes, criticize certain positions ? McCain is not going to lose the primary, nor the general.
If we don't tell our Senators when and why we disagree, how are they supposed to know and represent the concerns of we the people, their constituents ?
1. No. But Ronald Reagan taught me "A man who agrees with me 70% of the time is not my enemy." Or, to quote another Bush supporter who is a Democrat "If you agree with me on 7/10 issues, vote for me. If you agree with me on 10/10 issues, get a shrink." - Ed Koch. Also, strangely enough, I like GWB, who signed the damn thing. (Yah, yah, I know, he thought it was going to be struck down as unconstitutional, but still)
2. Yes. It's not helpful, if anything, it'll backfire and hurt Bush, and even if it's true that he did get his metals falsely, it can't be proven, and just casts doubts on others who have gotten them ligitimately. The focus should be on his Senate record.
Discuss issues all you want. I voted for Bush in the 2000 primary season, and I'm glad he's president and not McCain, but that said, I don't have any real problems with McCain. I agree with him far more then I disagree, but I like him. He's tough, a loyal soldier, and he keeps us on our toes. It's better that we have a united front then squabble over a few minor things.
