With the choice left, I would like to see Guiliani. If he should drop, I have decided, while basically holding my nose, that I would support McCain over Romney. I just don’t trust him and I would rather have a McCain CIC. I know where he stands on the war on terror. Romney tends to get uncomfortable when asked about his stand.

McCain on the war against terror: ACLU trials for terrorists, no waterboarding, close down Gitmo, accused America of torturing terrorists in Iraq.

That is McCain’s record on the war on terror. Sounds identical to Hillary to me.

I disagree with you. Romney is preferable to McCain. I’m from MA so I have some experience with Romney. I don’t like his stupid health care bill and he has a tendency not to want to get his hands dirty in an election. However, he’s a first rate administrator who will definitly appoint conservative judges and clean up what beaurocracy he can. On foreign policy, I believe he will stand for America first.

As for McCain, he will appoint “consensus” judges that his senate buddies will like, he’s concerned about world opinion regarding torture etc, and for all his spending cut talk, he’s a senator first and will not name names on spending bills. He won’t propose large tax cuts and would pretty much govern like Rockefeller would have.

Make no mistake, I’m a Fred man, but McCain is an odious man who needs to be taken down. I prefer Rudy over him. The huck is a joke so I won’t even bring him up.

You don't trust Romney, but you trust McCain? What have you been smoking? You trust the guy who gave us McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, the Gang of 14, and voted against the Bush tax cuts? You want a CIC who thinks that waterboarding (or apparently forgetting to turn the air conditioning on, for that matter) is torture?

Thompson is my choice, but Romney is *far* superior to McCain.

Sorry, but McCain’s temper and temperment make me nervous with him as CIC even if he does support the war on terror. All of his other stands are far from conservative. At least Romney is level headed.
