So what? My bet..he starts off as a “centrist” , and moves left. He could give a crap about the people known as “Republicans”, although he will turn cartwheels for big corporations, including Big Media
Even Pope John Paul spoke of some legitimate benefits of “globalism”, expecially third world contries moving out of poverty.
I wasn’t intending to reply, but I’ll say this:
Your comments show the lack of a balanced perspective. But, since you feel you are the arbiter of worthy service and patriotism, keep at it.
My dad’s lived in AZ most of his life as I did for 4+ years . . .
McCain’s reputation in AZ is not exactly lily white amongst those in the know.
And, he certainly had demonstrated, voiced a number of waffly unpatriotic perspectives in recent years.
Part of me still wonders how much residue from his POW brainwashing there remains.
I’ve not been at all impressed with his patriotism in the public arena.
He persistently sounds like a NWO stooge, to me.
But, hey . . . research is not that hard these days . . .
I’ve read that McCain has a strong standing in Arizona - they’ve certainly re-elected him numerous times.
Sure, McCain’s made some mistakes - I don’t think you can have such a long record and keep it perfect. He has demonstrated that he’s learned from his mistakes tho’ - and that gives him something the other candidates don’t have - EXPERIENCE!
I’m really amazed at the McCain bashing that occurs on this site - especially given that he’s had a lifetime of service (even including being a POW - outside of DYING for your country, there isn’t much greater sacrifice!). Most of the stuff people find fault with him about involves him trying to cooperate with others in government and doing what he thinks is right for our country. I’ve come to think we can trust his judgement - he’s been proven tight in the past... and let’s just say you totaly detest the guy - you can’t argue with the fact that he has the MOST knowledge & experience and is the ONLY Republican to poll out ahead of Hillary or Obama.
Do you really trust this election, the future of our party, and the running of this country to any other candidate? It’s simple logic - vote for the one who can do the best job and who can WIN the election. If you vote for anyone but John, you might as well hand it to Hillary.
