“McCain offered no alternative plan and chose the gentleman’s course by unilaterally disarming”
I agree whole heartedly.
I sent money to the Republicans this year for the first time since Iran-Contra broke into the news, and I did so because of Governor Palin’s nomination.
Senator McCain is an honorable senator, firmly imbued with the ethos of the place (and I mean that nicely). He does not have the necessary instincts of a presidential candidate.
Of the five candidates, I guess I had Guiliani first (too liberal, but fundamentally a decent person), then Thompson (but let’s have some fire), then Romney, and finally McCain. That other guy, Huckleberry or whatever, just was unacceptable. Am I surprised that my fourth choice didn’t win the election. Frankly, no.
