A short vingette about an incident in South FL. We were driving around following the McCain campaign in two white panel vans with large signs on the sides and back saying McCain=Amnesty. There were more than a few instances when Hispanics, presumably Cuban-Americans, approached our van giving us a thumbs up and asking if we had any bumper sticks or flyers saying the same thing. We explained that we were against McCain, much to their surprise. So in some places in FL, McCain=Amnesty is perceived as being a good thing. LOL.
Sorry I am late to the thread. Responsibilities today kept me from participating.
As far as the elction, all I have to say is this:
Elections are not for us to choose the candidate who agrees with us, nor the perfect candidate. Elections are not for selecting a favorite, nor for choosing someone who agrees with us on our pet issue.
What we are asked to do is to pick from the field offered the candidate who will be the best for the nation.
In this case, the answer is McCain. Anyone who wants to know my thoughts on McCain can search my posts for the last 7 years. I am not a McCain lover, to say the least.
I am, however, a lover of this nation, and while McCain might not do a lot of stuff that I would like, the democrats will do NOTHING, and if Obama is elected, we will have a president who hangs out with Marxists, Black Nationalists, and terrorists.
Given that situation, my duty is to vote for McCain. I love my country and my family too much to do otherwise.
