Fine. I’ll address your post. I disagree with your opinion regarding McCain and his reasons for voting against a bill that was flawed. I also disagree with your opinion regarding his involvement in the “gang of 14”. While I do not like Kennedy and other liberals like him, I also am a realist and understand that, in politics, one must from time to time work with the opposition instead of against them. Ronald Reagan did that on a number of occasions during his 8 years, and people didn’t seem to have the problem with that then as they seem to today. It seems to me that all the vitriol and bile that people are spewing forth on these issues are nothing more than sour grapes from people who don’t seem able to grasp how our system of government actually works. So, how’s that for addressing your comment?

It’s a wonderful thing to be an American. We can hold similar values, yet different opinions on specific issues. I am choosing to look at the forest in this election, and not having tunnel vision regarding just one tree. And you?

You are not disagreeing with my words, you are disagreeing with the man himself. Would you like a link?

I will vote for Juan McAmnesty when and if he picks a solid, rock-ribbed, no BS CONSERVATIVE VP. Since there is ZERO liklihood of that happening (also per McCamnestys’ own words) I suppose I will vote third party for POTUS.

So why do so many McCain people wail about Barr working with the ACLU?
