McCain is not a good candidate and I cannot understand how he beat out the others. It had to be a backdoor deal in the GOP. I’d rather have him than a communist or a facist though.
At least he is willing to listen to the people.
McCain will do irreparable damage to the Republican Party just by being elected. The damage to the country would be minimized in the short term (relative to Obama or Hillary), but be maximized in the long-term, as it would be highly unlikely that the country or party would ever turn back to the right. With Obama or Hillary winning, at least the Republicans have a chance at coming back with a decent conservative candidate in 2012.
As of now, most major Republicans are talking like Democrats did only a handful of years ago. So we will have in effect TWO DEMOCRAT parties. I want no part of it.

I’ve seen that argument and but don’t think it makes sense. I don’t think Obama or Hillary will be seen as doing that much damage. Remember they have the press behind them as a huge propaganda machine. They will do exactly what Chavez and other socialists/communists have done. Make all kinds of promises and collect power.
