Re: Information About John McCain
Thank you for posting this. Most of it was not a surprise to me (and I did check the links to see how distorted things some of the comments were -- didn't seem to be much). I didn't know how rich he was nor that he had been ranked zero by the League of Conservation Voters.
Truth is, I don't care that he's rich. I do care how hawkish he is. I do care that he is anti choice. I really don't know enough to comment about his stand on children, yet. Voting against the children's health bill is not enough to go on. I will give him credit for admitting he was wrong and that he has "evolved" since voting against a MLK holiday.
I have heard about his hot temper many times and it does concern me. However, I'll put as much stock in a fellow Republican making negative comments about McCain being president as I do about the negative comments about Obama being a Muslim -- both are based on innuendo and should be taken as such.
I do care that he uses lobbyists for fund raising. I do care that he is getting closer and closer to the far right fundamentalists because that affects me as a woman and, more importantly, will affect my daughter's right to choose (whether that choice be for a child or a job or where to live).
So, thank you. There are some very good, important points made in this list. Hopefully, people will think long and hard before just arbitrarily dismissing it.
