What war on terror credentials? McCain has none. Just follow his amnesty votes, his opposition to a border fence, his attitude towards treatment of terrorists, and worst of all his vote AGAINST barring terrorist. Leave our borders unprotected? That makes no sense in view of 9/11.

To hope for McCain to die in office is unrealistic. Imagine the damage someone of his bad character and mental health can do.

I am as anti-amnesty as anyone here. But, we’ll get amnesty with McCain, Obama or Hillary — so its really not an issue worth debating right now. And, at least McCain SAYS he has had a change of heart on amnesty (whether its true or not remains to be seen) — Obama and Hillary don’t. Voting against McCain because of amnesty will guarantee the WH to Hillary or Obama ... and you’ll get amnesty. That’s a bit counterproductive.

In fact, I’d say we’re more likely to get amnesty with a Democrat than with McCain, because the true conservatives in Congress will have more control if there’s a Republican in the WH.

The war on terror credentials to which I was referring was the fact that McCain is a staunch supporter of the global war on terror, of staying the course in Iraq, of being hardline on Iran, etc.

To elect Obama or Hillary would be far more detrimental to the well-being of the country. McCain isn’t running in a vacuum — it isn’t McCain or nobody, its either him or Hillary/Obama. I’d prefer McCain.
