No, I think P-Marlow doesn't want John McCain to be president. I think I am seeing "projection" here.
You're right. There are a thousand candidates who would have been better. Unfortunately he is the one the stupid republicans picked to be their standard bearer. For an Old Soldier he has no fight in him. In reality he didn't even fight for the nomination. It fell into his lap because the conservative candidates all tripped over each other and destroyed themselves and the republicans allowed Independents to choose our Candidate.
McCain would be a billion times better then Hussein, but McCain does not appear to have the gumption to take Hussein to task on any issue.
I hope I'm wrong, but if McCain doesn't change his attitude, then we are going to have Hussein as president.
