No one has ranted about McCain more than I have over the last few years. He has not covered himself with glory with CFR, Gang of 14, etc.
But he is the nominee. Many times over the last few years I have told anti-Bush people here that you don’t always get perfect and you have to stick with the party leader. Well, it’s time for me to live by what I preached.
I will vote for McCain with as much enthusiasm as I can muster. I will donate to the RNC. And I will vocally support Senator McCain.
Why? Because I keep picturing Hillary or Obama strutting along reviewing the troops. That is unacceptable.
We are at war. The troops deserve to have someone who will fight rather than surrender. The troops deserve someone who will not send them as pizza delivery guys to every third world nation. And the American people deserve someone who wants to KILL terrorists rather than talking to them.
It is Supremely ironic that we have McCain as the nominee. Perhaps this is God’s way of testing our patience and love of country. After all, should we cause an abandonment of the war and the Iraqis, a retreat with loss of American prestige, and a complete waste of all that has been accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan, just so we can teach the RNC a lesson? I don’t think so.
And as sure as I am sitting here, come next November Donald Rumsfeld will vote for McCain, and so will Bush and Cheney. THAT is how responsible people face an election like this.

Excellent post, Miss Marple, and nice to see you. I'm surprised no one has replied to your message, so I will.
Well said, and I agree.
