I favor McCaine for the following reasons:
We are now in an existential struggle for survival of our civilization and we need a warrior leader. The most important job for the President of the United States is that of Commander in Chief. McCaine is the only one of the contenders of either party who is (superbly) qualified for that job. None of the others know the difference between an officer and an enlisted man.
McCaine is the only Republican who can win the election and keep Hillary or Obama (or both) from the executive suite. Romney will lose and so will the others.
Also, Congress, not the President, determines tax and immigration legislation, campaign reform, and all other domestic matters. The President can only propose,lobby or veto legislation. So if you want conservative legislation to be passed, elect a conservative Congress.
Judicial nominations are important. Remember though, McCaine has voted for every Republican nominated candidate from Reagan to G.W. Bush. Although I admit I worry a bit about McCaine on this matter, I know that I do not want Hillary or Obama deciding on the nominees. And let’s not forget, a conservative Congress is still needed to confirm conservative judicial nominees. What good will it do to have a Republican presidential nominee who will not only lose in November, but bring down Republican congressional candidates with him?
McCaine may like to cozy up to liberal Democrats and win the approval of the editors of the New York Times, but as the Republican candidate for President, I have no doubt that he will quickly find out that they are no friends of his. I predict that his notorious rage will then be directed at its deserved targets, and away from his conservative supporters.
John McCaine, because of his age, will probably be a one term president if elected. That will give the Republicans time to line up the next generation of leadership for 2012 and beyond. There is a great pool of potential talent, starting with David Patreaus, serving in our military. There are some who feel that the smartest, bravest, toughest, best educated young men and women can be found in the Armed Forces.
John McCaine has his faults, and has obviously antagonized a lot of conservatives. But he is an authentic American hero, and I believe, he will put the interests of his country ahead of his personal interests. He has already proven that in the past. I believe that America’s enemies (and friends) will be a lot more careful dealing with a President John McCaine than they would with a President Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama.
I also believe that the election of John McCaine would be very symbolic. It would be the ultimate victory for those of us who served in or supported the Vietnam War, and the ultimate defeat for the hate America Left and their “60′s” generation I beleive that we owe that to our fallen Americans from that war.
