McCain's performance THROUGHOUT his private & public life, does in fact point directly at being STUPID... If not stupid, then criminally inclined...
In McCain's case -- I never expected him to "fight in the trenches" but to be a LEADER in the struggle for things IMPORTANT to me. I remain convinced he is incapable of leading an effective fight against either Hillary or Obama...
All of McCain's most forceful attacks to date, have been against Republicans, citizens opposed to Amnesty, citizens and veterans opposed to Kerry, citizens 1st Amendment rights preceding an election, and the POW/MIA families who expected more than a whitewash of the Communist Vietnamese coming out of the Senate Investigation leading to normalization of relations with the Communists...
A Presidential candidate should show an ability or history of LEADERSHIP to be Commander In Chief - McCain, in my opinion has failed to do so..
It has nothing to do with mccain. If he picks a liberal VP, like romney or rudy, then he would be pretty stupid beyond all redemption and I wouldn’t even consider voting for him in the general.
back to my point:
If you won the nomination and you decided to go after obama and hillary at this time, you would be pretty stupid. They’d just gang up on you and compete on whoever does a better job at bashing my fellow freeper, to the delight of their liberal base. It’s not your fight; let them destroy each other and your job should be to focus on the issues.
