I was once a McCain supporter

[ItsTime]

Thats right I was once a McCain supporter. When he announced his candidacy I was happy. I signed up for his email list, (still getting emails) I put him on my friends list on Myspace. I planned on donating. But then I started to listen to what he saying. And I quickly realized that his ideas are not Republican at all.

So I started to look for candidates that had true Republican values. Romney, ha, saw him when he was the gov. Huckabee, I like what he says about the Constitution but nah he has a very liberal background. Then I heard Ron Paul at the debates. WOW! I said he is my man! The first time in a long time I realized it is ok to be Republican and be anti-war. It felt good, and still feels good.

Sorry just some rambling.. thought I would share.

Hey I voted for Bush in 2000. We all wear our own scarlet letter.

Thanks for sharing, so it is possible to convert a McCain supporter. Good to know.

Well, I was once an Obama supporter - mostly because I heard he spoke out against the war. Not sure which is worse.

I voted for Bush in 2000 too. Thanks for sharing! Ron Paul all the way!

I'm safe, I voted Badnarick.

I've never voted before this election, and I was thinking about voting for Obama before I heard about Paul.

We all make mistakes.

Don't feel bad, I was for Hillary to get Bill back in office before I researched politics and history more, foreign policy etc.

McCain was never the tortured POW that he stakes his rep on.

I was a McCain fan up until a few years ago. He used to come on The Daily Show all the time and made a lot of sense when he talked. Then this war really "changed" what he was saying (or maybe I was changed). Even John Stewart recognized that he wasn't the same guy he himself used to love.

GREAT story! I used to like McCain a lot too, which makes me wonder if the people currently voting for him are really voting for the McCain of '08 who wants to nuke the entire solar system, or if they think he's still the McCain of 2000, the maverick who refused to be a toady for the GOP establishment. He's changed a lot.

Now, if we can only convince current McCain supporters that Ron Paul CAN win!
