But the context is different now. I can't just seethe over ANWR or the other issues without examining his record on all issues, and his stated campaign positions.
We (as Americans) can't afford to ignore that McCain wants to WIN the war, oppses entitlements, will extend the tax cuts, appoint conservative judges, WIN the WOT, prevent universal government health care, support gun rights, oppose abortion, cut taxes for corporations, extend the Bush tax cuts.
I respectfully submit these are more important than the ones we disagree with him on, AND remind you that Hilary/Obams will do the exact opposite on all of these. That is reality and we need to vote in the end after examining that reality.
Hope you have plenty of cheese to go with that whine.
Heres a reality for you:
I will vote for McCain if, and only if, he resigns his Senate seat before the election, okay?
That will get rid of the puke forever.
Hell, he will not even take Florida, and that is something I would have never said just 4 years ago.
“But the context is different now. I can’t just seethe over ANWR or the other issues without examining his record on all issues, and his stated campaign positions...We (as Americans) can’t afford to ignore that McCain wants ... appoint conservative judges...”
His past actions certainly suggest that these are merely hollow words. Case in point, he says that he will appoint strict constructionist judges. Looking back, we remember him as leader of the “gang of 14” who fought against conservatives and the GOP over judges that they considered too conservative. And then we hear that he opposed Alito, stating that he was “too conservative”.
Either he is a liar or he is really confused about what constitues a conservative judge. Perhaps someone like Arlen Spectre would fit his definition?
