I don’t think that’s it. I can’t stand McCain. The one thing he has going for him, as far as my vote, is he seems honest on the WOT and the War in Iraq and Afghanistan. But I don’t even trust him on that, but trust him more than Hillary or Obama. Maybe that’s what worrying people. My Dad was WWII vet and couldn’t stand McCain. I wonder if he’d vote for him if he were alive. Something tells me he would, especially over hillary or obama, but not sure.

This Vet, former POW, has done nothing to secure our borders during this time of war, and even co-sponsored Amnesty this year. He also is against whatever it takes during interrogations. He makes it so hard to support him, imo.

I’m not for making a point or taking a stand with my vote. I don’t trust McCain on anything. I think he’s nuts. I also think Hillary and Obama are nuts. And I know they hate our military and our country. I don’t think McCain hates our military (and I know many in our military or former military who can’t stand him). It’s a tough decision for some of us (well not really, because when it comes down to it, I could NEVER vote for hillary or obama and I could vote for McCAin).

It just sucks that this is what we have, on both sides, for POTUS.

Great analogy. I wouldn’t have liked FDR either, and my parents couldn’t stand him and never voted for him. But, yeah, FDR v. Carter, it would be FDR. McCain is maybe our FDR, sucked at domestic policy was was competent on foreign and great during the War. You may have just made it easier for me to vote for him. I still think he’s going to lose in a landslide against either hillary or obama. I hope I’m wrong.

Oh, I'm sure he doesn't. I'm also sure he's made enemies, not just because he's a something of a hothead but because he's a naval aviator and most of them have huge egos...plus, sadly some of my fellow Air Force vets back in McCain's day considered the Navy to be right behind the Soviet Union on the enemies list.

Glad to help...I know this sucks, a lot. I'm not a fan of his either, but it is what it is and it's time to stop the Dems.

Neither am I. People who assume that I am and insult me for it are just immature.

I don’t trust McCain on anything. I think he’s nuts.

So do I and that is the reason I'm not voting for him. If people don't like my reasoning that's too bad.
