The thing is, McCain compared to the far far left Obama isn’t even a lesser of two evils. For all the irritation of McCain, he is still pro life, pro guns, pro military and generally pro economic growth. I know he has wandered around, but Obama with a huge advantage in congress? That is scary. People throw the socialism word around lightly, but this is the real deal, and everyone seems asleep at the switch.

Those that say McCain is no better than Obama have their heads somewhere other than where they need to be.

Even if McCain is just a stop gap until 2012, it likely prevents a wildly liberal addition or two to the Supremes, and won’t cause a disaster in the Iraq and tax policies.

It may not be inspiring, but the fear of Obama’s leftist policies is enough to motivate me.

Hopefully McCain has an inspired choice for VP. Most of the time the VP is irrelevant, but this time he may be handpicking the de facto front runner for 2012 on the GOP side.

I repeat;

Screw McCain, and screw anyone trying to coerce, threaten or cajole a vote for that bastard. He doesn’t deserve it.

The big problem with McCain is that we just don't like the SOB. With the exception of immigration and CFR, I don't have problems with most of his positions. I can almost get to the point where I'm saying, okay, I can do this. Then I see him.

If McCain and Bill Belichick had a personality contest, there might not be a winner.

Therein lies the problem. Most people aren't this engaged in politics. They show up to vote BECAUSE they are inspired. McCain does not inspire. Not one bit.

An excellent post! You are 100% correct. I hope sensible people will read your post and seriously think about what you said.

Venezuela has Chavez. Obama will be our Chavez. With the executive and legislative firmly in their hands, the RATS will get the next SCOTUS picks, higher taxes, gay marriage, abortion, illegal immigration and god knows what else.

Sorry, in this world last thing we need is a Marxist or a criminal in office. I’ll take the moderate who is pro life, pro guns, pro military and generally pro economic growth.

The Conservatives in congress will have to work hard to keep McCain honest.

He isnt really all that Pro Gun..I think he got like a d rating by the NRA.
Mccain should not be the man the GOP picked to be Pres. Can anyone tell me what merits him to seek the highest office in the land?
I am greatly disappointed in the GOP.I will vote for the goofball, but I aint giving him any cash nor will I urge anyone else to vote for him.
