That you support the R's in any capacity is amazing. I get that Obama is no walk in the park, but can't you see what the R party has done to us and will continue to do to us if McCain is elected. It is sort of like you are Fox News, you acknowledge out of hand that W has done bad things, but you never really address what exactly McCain is going to actually do that is any different. Moreover, even if you can't vote for Obama, why are you going to vote for McCain (assuming you are)?

Your email is full of such gross generalizations and hyperbole that I have to laugh. So here goes.....

Anyway. I think McCain would focus more on accomplishing the Iraq mission more than trying to keep critics happy, IE the way Bush handled it. I think McCain would veto more wasteful spending, he has a track record of doing so. He'd be more likely to get bipartisan support, as he has a history of actually working across the isle to make compromises. IE the gang of 14, where he negotiated the confirmation of judges, whereas Bush was happy with the stalemate. McCain would opt to build more nuclear reactors and focus more on drilling, whereas Bush has only done so now to leave a legacy. McCain would close Guantanamo and stop torture. McCain would surround himself with people knowledgable in the fields that they specialize in, instead of hiring leftovers from the Nixon Ford administration. He would focus more on finding Bin Laden. He has also said he would use the bully pulpit of the presidency to expose the biggest wasters. Whether you like McCain or not, he has generally done what he has said he would do, even if it was unpopular with his base, IE immigration reform.

Also, I never said anything about Iraq or oil prior to you bringing it up. You just painted me with a broad brush, which displays how ignorant you are. I am sick of the ad homonym attacks of the left. I think we attacked the wrong country and we should have done the job the first time back in 1991. Another thing McCain would have done differently.
