i don’t want to get into all the psycho banter going on here. I just have one question. When did McCain become the Republican hero? 4 years ago, McCain was still a “maverick” and a P.O.W. He still supposedly put “country first” and what did that get him? Republicans, especially the evangelical right questioned his age and temperment to be president. They even spread the “black baby” rumors knowing that America would not support someone that had black offspring (racist?) But NOW McCain is a hero? Come on, we can do better than McCain. The best scenario for the true Republican base would be for Obama to win and then 4 years later Romney or even Jeb could make a run for president. I don’t care who you support, McCain is not the one to push the Republican agenda. Don’t forget, McCain was prochoice for awhile. he also used to oppose off shore drilling. Now he seems to be swtiching positions to make sure the base will support him.
Also, being a POW doesn’t make you ready to be president. Nor does it make you a better person. I served in Iraq. I don’t think many people would think that I am now qualified to be president or that I am a better person than those did not serve. If service was the qualification, then George and Dick should be hated as draft dodgers. John Kerry served his country, but did that make him more qualified to be president than George? Let’s focus on the issues and not the talking points. McCain’s voting record speaks for itself.
