I'll never vote for McCain; it would be a violation of everything I believe in as a conservative. He's rude, he talks over others and drops names (which is a classic breach of etiquette). He refers to himself constantly when speaking, which suggests a pronounced ego. He's for amnesty (look at what he does, not what he says). He's an Israel-firster, bought and paid for by AIPAC. He's for re-hiring the Neoconservative "advisors" Bush only recently ran off after having ruined his presidency. He's fiscally irresponsible. His campaign is broke, running only on free media publicity. He's the perfect puppet for the Podhoretz-Perle-Kristol fifth column manipulating the media and running the government into bankruptcy. He "reaches across the isle" which means he does what's politically expedient when AIPAC's interests are at stake. His foreign policy can be summed up in one (often repeated) word: "Islamofacism". He has no stance on the Federal Reserve, IRS, fiat monetary inflation, gold, etc. His entire economic policy is thus: "lower taxes". Want to bet when we'll see those? Hint; look for them after our 100-year occupation of Iraq is over. He --and Giuliani-- are politician's politicians, they represent anything but "change". Of all the republicans running (excepting maybe Giuliani) he brings the least amount of ideas to the table. We get nothing with McCain.
Democracies always fail, and now we see why... the ignorant masses swamp the informed electorate. How many of us here have been watching debates since early 2007? That's a year of consideration. Well I've met three people at work (part of a much, much larger demographic) --all Republicans-- who's first introduction to the candidates was the latest CNN debate in which Paul was silenced. McCain is their guy. They've heard his name more. The heard, once again, trampled over the informed during a mass-media induced stampede. Exit polls show the majority of anti-war votes going to McCain. Ignorance, ignorance, ignorance!
The Republican Party doesn't deserve our votes. After the way we've been mocked, laughed at, gloated over, excluded, silenced, mis-represented, and defrauded (Louisiana), we should hope for a colossal defeat this election to set this party in order!
