Dearest PL, I must respectfully disagree.
McCain has made it clear he is an enemy of this Republic and in turn freedom in general...he is pro-amnesty and has done little to nothing in turning back 0bama and his legions of minions from his seat in Congress.
As to whether or not the country would have been better off with either is pure speculation. We can only hypothesize on what either would or would not have done if elected to the Oval Office.
I'm not looking for "perfection", but I am also not willing to vote for someone who consorts with terrorists and is militantly pro-amnesty(McCain) or someone who is pro-homosexual, pro-choice and pro-amnesty (Romney).
I appreciate your respectful reply.
