To: DieHard the Hunter

If I may offer a small opinion, DieHard The Hunter; I do believe that history shows Sir Winston Churchill was opened minded enough to seek answers and solutions to whatever problem, situation he was working on.

On the other hand, history shows us that McCain is quite content with his agenda, his values, and his associates. There is very little hope that he will change at this stage of his life; nor will he leave his comfort zone.

America needs a leader for President.
It’s not McCain.
It’s not Obama.

That’s the gritty reality right now — and it’s not pretty.

Sometimes, yes. But the Dardanelles campaign in WW-I was largely his doing, and it was a disaster, and he would not be persuaded that Turkey wasn’t “the soft underbelly of Europe” like he thought.

Gallipoli was the result — which is a tragic subject near and dear to the heart of every Kiwi and Ocker.

I humbly submit Ollie North / Curtis Sliwa as the *DieHard the Hunter* GOP Candidates of Choice, for President and Vice President, respectively. Before these two men, who could stand?

I totally agree with you about it being doubtful that McCain will change at this stage in his life. I voted for him to be my Senator only to see him change over the years and support things I wouldn't have believed possible, as the author notes:

"Although liberal in his views toward immigration, government intrusion in free speech, environmental issues, campaign finance reform, health care, education mandates, and a host of other issues that run contrary to conservative orthodoxy..."

If that's who he is as Senator, imagine the damage he can do as President with only the republicans to try to stop him or slow him down. Nope, not pretty at all.
