How about check my FR user page...
Everything on it is my original work.

Anyways, I’ve been solidly behind McCain since he wrapped up the nomination, even though he wasn’t my 1st choice or my 2nd (he was my 3rd).
I do now believe that McCain was the right candidate for this election, and I’m glad he beat my first 2 choices (Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney).
I’ve been beating back the unappeasables, RuPaul and Bob Barf supporters, Keyesters, and anyone else disparaging McCain (and that was all BEFORE he picked Sarah Palin.)

There is a difference between being critical of missteps by the candidate, and being against the candidate. I don’t call John McCain names, assault his character or his record, accuse him of being a RINO, etc. I won’t pretend everything is great when it’s not though. I took a lot of heat from other Thompson supporters for doing just that back at the beginning of the year. They also accused me of having it out for him simply because I wasn’t living in a state of denial over the state of his campaign like everyone else was. There were actually people saying “Yes, he’s 20 points down in the polls, which is just where he wants to be — laying low for a sneak attack! He’s just running silent and deep! Everything is going according to plan, because Fred Thompson doesn’t take a dump without having a plan!”

But McCain/Palin aren’t behind in the polls, and I can’t believe that one day will destroy their strong momentum.
