Did you really mean to ask that question the way you wrote it?
If so, then the answer is, "yes."
In the end, you always do that. Or, you don't vote.
Well, perhaps I could have worded it better but based on your question, and then my reply, I think the intention was quite obvious.
Let me clarify: I do not choose a President based on who I "like." I choose who to vote for based on their character, their record, their intelligence and their platform. John McCain is no dummy, but he fails on all other counts--and he's unlikeable, to boot. When this election started out, the person I "liked" the most was Huckabee (although I never even considered voting for him due to his nanny-state positions and his global-warming craziness.)
Now, you said the U.S. was not a dictatorship. Perhaps you meant something different than how I interpreted your sarcasm. I assumed you meant that John McCain's record and positions on global warming regulation, the border, amnesty, Law of the Sea, "League of Democracies," etc. were not relevant to his candidacy. Hence, I responded as I did.
I stand by my original assertion: John McCain as POTUS would be an imminent threat to the U.S.A. as we know it.
Guess that's the difference between a Lib and a Conservative. I've voted many times for people I did NOT like, because I DID agree with their positions.
Feelings be damned. Conservatives think; Libs "feel". Thanks for finally fully outing yourself.
