Oh, and how's that short-term memory loss coming? McCain-Feingold, pontifications on torture, guest worker bills with Kennedy, Gang of 14, opposition to tax cuts, gun-grabbing, constitution shreading?<BR/><BR/>Sorry, He's just a sweet-talkin' man that wants your ballot. As soon as he gets what he wants he'll never call again. You'll discover you gave your heart to a RINO."**<BR/><BR/>LOL, I was warned!

In PA, the pols voted for property tax increase and got tossed. In Dover, PA, the same thing happened over the nationalizing and politicizing of the evolution issue on a large scale that cost the tax payers mucho money. <BR/><BR/>As to gun grabbers, I don't see Mccain as the only 1 that's not 100% in the NRA's camp amongst the list to vote for.<BR/><BR/>Theoretically, most of the candidates have issues that divide them, but I agree that none have looked as loony as Ron Paul. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately, even he looks remotely sane compared to Hillary, Edwards, and esp. Obama.BUMBLE!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16895043333551330396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10193821.post-2154085416079751172007-05-20T00:49:00.000-05:002007-05-20T00:49:00.000-05:00I wish with all my heart that John McCain were not...I wish with all my heart that John McCain were not running for President. I am glad that he remains firm in his support of the war and our troops. I have been a fierce and (I am ashamed to say) a mocking critic of the man.<BR/><BR/>But, oh, I do love John McCain. I found <A HREF="http://www.floramcdonald.com/ucv/troops/johnmccainpow2.jpg" REL="nofollow">this picture</A> taken after his capture in Viet Nam and when I look at his eyes, I see my son's eyes and cannot imagine what his mother felt when she was shown this photo. <BR/><BR/>How those men endured the barbaric treatment they received year after year is beyond my comprehension. <BR/><BR/>I can't abide his politics but I do love the man.f mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473236043398216838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10193821.post-27941516303629820632007-05-19T19:40:00.000-05:002007-05-19T19:40:00.000-05:00Like Pia, I have a favorite but I'm not discussing...Like Pia, I have a favorite but I'm not discussing it at this moment.

Not that he is not trustworthy but 5 years as a POW does something to a man and I'm not comfortable having that variable in the White House.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Add to that the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform issue and a few other things and he's way down on my list. That's not to say that, if he were the GOP nominee, I wouldn't vote for him but I wouldn't want him as the GOP nominee.Fermina Dazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220450595691709991noreply@blogger.com
