Well, it burdens me greatly to say this. I actually voted for McCain when he first ran for John Rhodes' seat back in AZ years ago. He used to be conservative. But it's clear he's not a sharp thinker now.

What's his plan for dealing with AQ? Ending waterboarding and closing Gitmo? Yeah, that's brilliant. We need to "stay in" Iraq, but only as a BATTLE that we need to win on the way to VICTORY. I don't see McCain showing the slightest sense of what the larger battlefield looks like.

Don’t blame yourself, that was before the DC establishment got to him. Remember, the same thing happened to Goldwater. Not sure whether it is the Arizona weather, their remarriages, or the brainwashing that took place in DC.

That is an excellent point, and one I hadn't considered. With his clearly-demonstrated adherence to liberal economics and cultural values, on what principle would McCain fight the Islamofascist war?

I proudly voted for him for the senate in 1986 and 1992. He was a fine senator back then. That’s what makes his subsequent betrayals even worse.

I used to have a real nice personalized autographed picture of him. It would have been worth some bucks if he wins. I ripped it up after one of his many betrayals. I didn’t want a picture of a liberal in my house. But somewhere in my stuff is a picture I had taken with him. It hasn’t been destroyed yet.
