McCain knows what government can and cannot do. More importantly, he knows what government should and should not do.

ROTFLOL!!! Could not/will not read past this first sentence!
He certainly has a firm grip on the FIRST AMENDMENT!

Yeah, that slogan worked out real well in 2004:
I'm not Bush!

I'm sure you remember that mantra. IIRC, nearly everyone on FR was LOL at the stupidity of that election slogan, now they are adopting it as their own. How pathetic.

Pfhtttttttttttt! He knows what gubmint should and should not do.

It shouldn’t be stealing from hard working Americans in support of a fool Gorebal warming scheme. It shouldn’t be making laws to restrict free speech, and it sure as hell has no right to sell out out sovereignty.

McCain must have forgot he shouldn’t do these things.

The republicans have become the democrats and the irony isn’t lost on me.

Well educated...I really think Obama is ignorant. He’s spent too much time with his “groupies” and never sees the broad picture. HE IS....the enemy from within.

Yeah McCain/Fiengold is a perfect example of how Government should control freedom of speech! Too bad he wasn't leading the way to actually do something with the party when they were spending like drunken sailors in a Singapore Whore House! Guess his appearances on No Ball's with Chrissy Matthews was more important!

If Obama can’t transform America then he is going to have a lot of explaining to supporters who will find themselves disenchanted and disappointed.

No way those kool-aid drinkers would think their "messiah" has disappointed them.

So, if I get the gist of this article, Sen. McCain is better because he would be more effective at expanding the scope and breadth of government?

What a ringing endorsement (/s).

And he’s NOT Obama!

Now that is a most complex reason to sell your party, beliefs and country down the road of Ultra huge and intrusive Government. (Cap & Trade scams)

The type of responses you'll be getting about McCain are exactly why I will be voting for Obama in November.

I don't want to, I'd rather vote for McCain but since between now and then we are going to have a virtual hate fest every time McCain's name comes up I'll be Voting for Obama rather then supporting the only choice we have been given.

I don't like it much either but it is my way of protesting all the hatred aimed at a man who may only serve this country for next Four Years as it's president after serving it all of his adult life.

I know my vote will probably put Obama into office and cause the destruction of this country as we know it in the hands of a George Soros puppet, but The pride of the conservative movement is at stake here sticking to their ideas is more important to them then saving the country from Obama the man who would destroy it with health care programs that would burden the American tax payer in ways they cannot even imagine, and neuter our military until the point where we could be invaded by San Marino....

An actual San Marino Soldier in full battle kit

And other things I would rather not think about given the fact that Obama will have a Congress controlled by even more democrats all thanks to those conservatives that have put their ideas over actually having some voice in government via representation not matter how weak it might be in the form of republican candidates they have refused to support. Who knows I might even start smoking and drinking again to shorten up my lifespan before the crap really hits the fan...

and it will...

Let me put it this way.

No candidate is perfect.

I did not get my most perfect candidate, even though I voted for him.

I did not get my next most perfect candidate.

I did not get my candidate who was just a bit less perfect than my next most perfect candidate.

I did not even get my candidate who was less perfect than the candidate who was just a bit less perfect than my next most perfect candidate.

I did not even get my candidate who was less perfect than the candidate who was less perfect than the candidate who was just a bit less perfect than my next most perfect candidate.

What I did get was someone running as a Republican who was close enough to Hillary to take votes from Obama.

There should be no surprise that many of us are not 'galvanized' by McCain.

The only thing which will get him elected is the fact that there may be more people out there who see Obama as the anti-Christ than see him as a saviour.

Either way you flip that coin, short of it landing on edge, we have problems.

I am tired of people blindly follwing a person who keeps saying “I will change things” and nothing more.
I want to know specifics. What will be changed? From what TO WHAT?????
When? How? What are the long term effects?
Too many items seem to be changing with absolutely no looking beyond the nose of the person advocating the changes. No one seems to be able to think anymore, and we have the teachers to thank for that. Ust a somputer...use a calculator....don’t learn how to find anything in a library....just get all your stimulation from audio and video crap....

Better my enemy before me than behind me

Boil the frog quickly.

Personally I won’t vote for Obama but I won’t help McCain either.
