I agree with the list. These (maybe except for Mitt Romney)are all worse than McCain on the most important issues to me - national security, pro-life, etc. McCain irritates me to no end on the minor stuff - Campaign finance, etc. But he's one of the WOT's staunchest advocates. I'd vote for somebody who advocates CF but is strong on national security over somebody who votes aginst CF but also criticizes the war....Putting on flame suit.....

Thank you...McCain isn't on the list because:
1. He's a patriot
2. He's a Goldwater/Reagan Republican
3. He's a staunch defender of American foreign affairs/Bush's military policies
4. He's a right-to-lifer
5. He's a deficit hawk.
6. He seeks ways to create a fairer electorial process.
7. He supports the military man and woman in the trenches.
8. He wants America to remain the envy of the world.
9. He backs the need for conservative federal judges.
AND 10. When his nation called for service during Vietnam, he didn't hide in an air national guard unit, he didn't attend parties that featured illegal drugs, he didn't shirk scheduled ANG drills to support Alabama politial buddies, and he didn't get convicted for DUI...

That's funny because it's true! I'm sure the Bushbots won't be thrilled.

I was cheering your reply until you got to #10. What are you talking about??? Is Mary Mapes your source for that? I agree McCain is a war hero, but that was a low blow don't ya think? The Air National Guard saw a lot of action in Vietnam. There were no guarantees Bush would avoid the war by signing up.

He's an absolute traitor who erased everything he did in Vietnam by pushing through the Campaign Finance Reform bill and now the torture bill. He's NOT a "patriot" - he pissed on the Constitution. He doesnt deserve any connection with Reagan - he is too much of a slimeball to even think of putting himself on the level of Reagan. He is doing everything he can to hog-tie President Bush with this new torture bill because he's got his head too far up his ass to understand the valor of todays military - and if giving terrorists their own Miranda rights is "defending foreign affairs" then he needs to be tarred and feathered, not lauded.

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM. HE IS A TRAITOR. HE SUCKS. End of story.

You're right. It makes me laugh when people lump McCain in with Chafee and Pataki. I think McCain is a shameless self-aggrandizer, but he's no RINO.
