“I would be interested in seeing a case for McCain that doesn’t enlist the dem candidates. Any honest case for this man that doesn’t rely on fear of the dems.

I wouldn’t find it persuasive, but I would be interested in seeing it.”

I’m with you.

If McCain thinks he’s gonna win the White House running the kind of dishonest campaign he ran in the primaries, he and his fans are fools.

I am a lifelong Republican from a rural area. I plant to get behind my party’s candidate. There is more to like about McCain than to dislike. I have never had a candidate who was a perfect “clone” of my beliefs. I have to respect the years that McCain served in the Senate. In order to get anything done he had to compromise and deal with the liberals...which by the way....for most legislative bodies...is the way it works. My husband served in Viet Nam. We both respect McCain’s service and sacrifice there. I have a son in the military. I feel that McCain is my best hope for my son. You see, Iraq will be over soon, no matter who gets elected. McCain will leave the war planning to the generals, not the news media or polls. For the safety of our kids in uniform, I feel McCain is a better choice.Because even though people think someone else will get us out faster, I think McCain will not get us into another protracted war. He’s been through it personally Colin Powell was a general, and he was against a protracted war. Most generals feel the same way. When the politics gets out of this war, it will end swiftly...without CNN getting photo-ops. Even though McCain said we would have a presence for many years, I take that to mean a “base” in the region. I like what McCain said about the AMT and Bush tax cuts. I agree that we should shut the border, lock it down...and then see what we are dealing with and solve it then. I support McCain. I don’t claim to have all the answers and respect his life experiences so much that I think he will do what is right on all issues. By the way, I have read both of Obama’s books. There is a HUGE difference in intellect illustrated when comparing to the drivel in “It takes a Village.” If he loses the nomination, the Dem party will implode from within. There is no comparison between these 2 candidates. I expect Ms. Pantsuit and the First Felon to go into the smoke filled back rooms to cut a deal. That is my prediction.
