Honestly there was a day when I could have imagined myself possibly voting for McCain. It's really a shame to see how he's basically sold his soul to get where he is right now. He had a lot of potential 8 years ago. |

Re: Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate
I'd like to believe that McCain sees this as his last chance (which of course it is) and that he is doing to whatever it takes to win and get in the White House. And once he gets there he will be the McCain he claims he is, not the one he's seemingly forced to be to get voted.

'Because our children’s future is best preserved within the traditional understanding of marriage, we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it. In the absence of a national amendment, we support the right of the people of the various states to affirm traditional marriage through state initiatives." And yes I realize that both McCain and Obama agree the issue should be decided by the states. My concern is with the party's overall position on it and, I believe, Sarah Palin's positions on issues such as those are what essentially pushed her onto the GOP ticket. But, and maybe I'm not just being clear about it, my beef isn't with McCain's position on the matter. What bothers me is that the party as a whole feels it's so important that it would basically threaten not to support McCain if he didn't appease them (apparently by selecting Palin)

Re: Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate
as recently as 2 weeks ago, John McCain had not uttered the word change, let alone used it for his platform. while i do agree the whole system is in dire need of one type of reform, or another, how can you just suddenly change your position, in mid election? he took what he thought the American people are clamouring for, and ran with it. smart move, but not legit. and lets talk about his voting record. he claims to be a maverick. got any proof? its easy to talk it. but walking it is a whole other story

Re: Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate
I can see the movie title "John McCain: The Undercover Maverick."
He's starting off with a lie and not being himself so he can get elected? How is anyone suppose derive comfort from that? That's Country First?

Re: Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate
I suppose it happens more often than not in politics though.
