JT..
that is why i think a McCain presidency would be so bad… he has shown that he is willing to pander to the politics of the right if that is what it takes to get elected.
if he can’t stand up for what he believes in when setting himself up to run for the next election or when choosing his running mate.. when do we expect him to step up for responsible republicans?
When he was a captive, he eventually caved and signed a false confession and went along with those who had been torturing him.
He has done the same thing with the right wing of the republican party.
i don’t blame him for either instance, but i don’t trust him to stand up against the right wing if he became president either.
our entire body of law is at stake in this presidency with aging supreme court justices. We need someone who understands the constitution and will stand up for it.
the maverick John McCain is just a useful political construct.. it has little base in reality. any maverick legislation he proposed was mostly window dressing on a very real problem… and at least once, he didn’t even vote for his own bill.
This is a man who got his mavrick reputation for losing his temper… often and loudly…
It’s time for people to ask if they want image or reality when it comes to a President… image sure didn’t work out so well the last couple of terms.
and speaking of image.. electing McCain won’t do much to improve America’s image abroad… in fact, it will further weaken respect for the United States.
Altogether not a future i want to contemplate…
