The thought of a Democrat President, Senate and House is too much. Perhaps they can squander it like the GOP did, but somehow I doubt it. I will do what I can to stop the Democrats from getting full control of the government.

When it comes to the Reagan Revolution, I was there leading the way... well, I was a foot soldier.
I think we should make those tax cuts "WE" gave you permanent.
We need to find a compassionate way to give illegals who are here a pathway to citizenship.
I have pushed through legislation that makes exercise of the First Amendment more reasoned with regard to elections.
I joined with the gang of fourteen to do something better than what the president had in mind, with regard to judicial appointments.
Enough was enough. It was time to put the issue of MIAs to rest, recognize North Vietnam and facilitate trade.
I didn't think helping the Sandanistas was a good thing. I fought it tooth and nail but by gosh, a nation was freed over my objections.
I was a member of the Keeting Five. It was no big deal. A lot of money was passed around and people lost their life savings. It happens.
Have the actions of this man, earned your vote?

Nope. If the GOP gives McCain the nod I’m looking elsewhere.

OK I work with the military every day. I respect and honor those who serve. But I grow tired of being reminded of MCain’s POW history...(did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam?). I’m more interested in what McCain did during the last 7 years... when he was free to do what he wanted.

No kidding. I'm so sick of hearing about the man he *was* in Vietnam. The way I see it: when this country goes completely to socialist hell in a hand basket I would rather the guy have D after the name, so the whole world can know which party ruined this great nation.
Vote McCain, Vote Liberal
Vote Democrat, Vote Socialist
It's all semantics.

Romney or nothing.
That’s just how seriously a McCain candidacy would blurr any discernable difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
To: neverdem
This guy says nothing about McCain from 2000 to now. Nobody is saying he did not serve in Vietnam.
I have so many issues with McCain... his legislation smearing our military with his anti-torture ...waterboarding... especially since he has two sons in the military....

That goes a long way toward explaining Sen. McCains appeal: more than any other candidate, he is the anti-Clinton. McCain is not the anti-Clinton. He is Hillary Lite, a fact that explains much of his lack of appeal.

Have the actions of this man, earned your vote? No, however his prominence in a "conservative" party has me to believe that conservatism is being redefined by the so called conservatives.

Read McCain-Leiberman. $.50 a gallon Fed Gas Tax HIKE? This from a REPUBLICAN?
Partys are not indestructible. Since the two party’s seem bent on fusion, there is coming a time when a new political party will rise.
Hegel Dialectic in action. 1st you have a thesis, in reaction to which forms an antithesis which over time combines to become the synthesis which then becomes the thesis developing a new antithesis.
In these terms the thesis was the Democrat party, which developed over time the anti thesis Republican party. With McCain we seen the Republican Establishment accelerating it fusion with the Democrat Party leadership. They are being a synthesis.
SO it appears the Republican-Democrats will form a globalist, interventionist European Socialist style party. That will be the new thesis.
In reaction to that something new will arise. An new Anti-thesis. It may be that Ron Paul is an out rider of that new trend. An Isolationist, limited Govt Nationalist party of Libertarian-Conservatives.
A lot rides on this election for setting the course of politics for the coming generation. If it ends up being Hillary-vrs McCain it will be a matter of the party’s differing on the speed to which the US should develop a European style authoritarian bureaucratic socialist style Govt.
