Since I have several relatives in Iraq and Afgan. , I don’t want to see them have Obama as commander in chief
as that is the alternative to McCain.

At Least McCain served in the military and his son is a
Marine who has done a tour in Iraq and based here in San Diego.

If we don’t win the war we are in, nothing else matters.

Living in San Diego with the largest concentration of Navy and Marines, You have first hand knowledge what is going on and part of the everyday pulse of the city.

AS far as those in public education, before I went into the legal field, many yrs ago I was the Adm. of a Parochial school pre through 8th grade. They were at least one to two grades ahead of public schools kids.

As far as those with college degrees, have talked with many through out the yrs. and many Masters & PhDs have
no real clue of the real world. Some couldn’t tell me who bombed Pearl Harbor.
I find people with real world experience do better in life.

I have no issue with you on the Iraq War or Afghanistan. I have no issue with McCain on this subject either; except for his stance on the Guantanamo Bay detention issue.

If we don’t win the war we are in, nothing else matters.

I take issue with that. IMO the situation along our borders is as viable a concern as winning the war overseas. The same may be said for the security of our ports whether air or marine. Unless we can insure we are relatively free from internal attack we expose ourselves to further "911's" or even worse.

And this is only part of this issue. Immigrants entering illegally have forced a great burden on our laws, our states and our nation. Not only is their (supposed) contribution marginalized by their criminality, but their contempt for our culture and heritage disrespects everything we have achieved. And that is intentional! They want to reclaim the land lost through the Gadsden Purchase and elsewhere. And I haven't even mentioned the racist issues at play.

So, yes, winning the war is a given. It MUST be done. But securing our borders is also equally necessary. The two go hand-in-hand. And for the person who will receive the GOP nomination for President to seek amnesty and inclusiveness for these invaders is unconscionable. He may "get" the war, but he is out of touch on our second most important security issue. And I cannot and will not accept that.

John McCain is Democrat light. He is a multiculturalist who is happy to use this issue to garners votes. He continues to ignore his conservative base while wooing Democrats whether moderates or leftists. And the GOP is actively supporting his nomination. John McCain and the GOP have left me and all other true conservatives in the lurch. They have no intention of giving us a reason to vote FOR McCain. And without a reason I see no need to.

If John McCain loses the popular vote, and I'm one who doesn't vote for him, is it my fault as many of you McCain supporters suggest? No. The responsibility is with him. He loses because he has not convinced sufficient people to vote for him. Period. That's where the responsibility rests; nowhere else.

And don't even get me started on Global Warming...
