Nobody is perfect. It really boils down to instincts with me.
For instance, what’s your motivation if a project is going to cost the taxpayers massive taxation. Of course you’d opt out, unless it was a Constitutional government mandate, like the military.
What would be your first instinct if it was a military matter? Of course it would be supportive of the members of the armed services and also the services too.
What about terrorists? Why you’d error on the side of safety, reducing the threat of terrorism in any possible way that was legal.
McCain’s instincts are all over the map. He’ll toss you a bone once in a while, then drive off the reservation for months at a time, showing the absolute worst instincts on policy I’ve ever seen, for a guy who wants to be thought of as a Conservative.
He belongs in the Democrat party. Some of his policies are so bad, I’d shudder to think of the left adopting them, although they pretty much already have. Johns isn’t qualified by past example, to be in any legitimate political party in the U.S. Of course that’s if you truly love the U.S. and want it to thrive.
I know we’re in agreement here, it just needs to be said over and over again, so that as many people as can be, are exposed to the truth.
Take care.
I don’t think everyone here would agree with me on 20% of the issues, but I’m not the opposite of anyone here. If I acted like John, I think I would have to be extremely vocal on my biggest differences and push them as though they’re ‘our plan’.
I feel that I’m on this forum to discuss issues of commonality. I might have a differing method in my views, but I’m not going to over play my differences. I think John looses me there, because he lacks the diplomacy of his own party.
If he wants to make ‘our views’ seem more acceptable to both parties,...fine, I’m willing to see that sort of compromise, but if he starts left and move to the center, then he has no reason to be called a conservative.
But thanks for your reply and I agree.
