The Real McCain

Nice Deb is a real conservative. I may not be: I am, at my core, a libertarian. That makes me more of a Goldwater girl than anything currently on offer politically.

So we've each had huge problems with the idea of supporting McCain this fall. But the War on Terror is the biggest issue of our day, and McCain has the brains, the knowledge, the flexibility and the passion to execute it as few others could.

And then, there is this story about McCain taking time out from the campaign last summer to sit down and talk to a woman who lost her brother in Iraq. No reporters. Just John McCain, and Jimmy McCain the Marine—who would deploy to the sandbox soon.

We can do this, people. We can pull it together and vote for this man. We can even send him money and campaign for him.

1 Obama is seemingly giving me new reasons to vote McCain every day. I'm still very disatisfied that McCain hasn't done more to win my favor.

2 Look at it as his way of getting swing voters.

3 Thank you for the mention, AG. That story put me over the edge. Despite all of our differences, I think I can actively support this man. It scares me that there are still so many conservatives dead set against him, even favoring Obama, because they believe that McCain will "ruin the Republican party". I hope and pray that isn't the case.

4 McCain: Says that we need to get tough on the terrorists because they're trying to kill us. Clinton: Says that we need to get tough on the terrorists because she can't get elected otherwise. Obama: Can't figure out what to say about the terrorists.
