The only possible reasons to vote for McCain are the judiciary and the military...other than that, he’s an absolute waste. Bush is a RINO temporarily hidden by a Texas drawl. McCain is a RINO with no disguise.
I'm not sure about the judiciary. Remember, this was the guy who organized the Gang of 14.
And the military? Maybe. He wants to shut down Gitmo over political correctness. Who knows what he'll do when he no longer has to pander.
McCain has shifted to the right in his statements on taxes, the judiciary, and a few other areas because he needs the GOP base to have a chance. To me, this suggests he wasn't taking principled positions, but politically expedient ones. He won't stand by them. The enviromarxist speech confirms it.
The greatest threat to our liberty and prosperity today does not come from Islamic fascism, but from enviromarxism and we've got three enviromarxists left in the race.
I voted for Reagan with pride and optimism.
I voted for GHW Bush with cautious optimism the first time, hoping he learned something from eight years at Reagan's side (he didn't). After all, he was far better than Dukakis.
Yet, when given a choice between GHW Bush and Clinton, I held my nose and voted for GHW Bush. Afterwards I swore I'd never vote when confronted by the evil of two lessers again.
Yet, when given a choice between Dole and Clinton, I held my nose and voted for Dole. Afterwards I swore I'd never vote when confronted by the evil of two lessers again.
Yet, when given a choice between GW Bush and Gore, I held my nose and voted for GW Bush. Afterwards I swore I'd never vote when confronted by the evil of two lessers again.
Yet, when given a choice between GW Bush and Kerry, I held my nose and voted for GW Bush. Afterwards swore I'd never vote when confronted by the evil of two lessers again.
Given the choice between McCain and Obama or Clinton, I'm not sure there's enough contrast to get me to hold my nose.
What's wrong with America when this is the best we can do?
