Re: Do I have this straight?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Bucco, I have a question. You seem to dig up the dirt (whether true or false) on Obama. Let's hear some on McCain. After all, you said you're not really a McCain supporter. Do you see any shortcomings there?

yep sure do. Can start with age for sure; that is an issue even though we dont like to bring it up out loud but it is thus the VP choice for him becomes important.

Next, he has been a guy who will "cross the aisle" but he has a lot of "baggage" as a result of that and I think is a bit callous right now.

I wish he could present himself as well as Sen Obama for sure.

He has become, not only callous, over the years but despite not being one in his early years he is now a Politician.

A McCain presidency would need top flight advisors to tackle the economy.

On the issues, they both will tell you whatever will get your vote.

Just for the record...I was a Democrat for years and years and very active. I left that party in about 1973 or so and the reason would make an entire new thread I have never voted a straight party line in any election as I think that is lazy. In 2004, I looked to the Democrats for a viable alternative and they gave us John Kerry, who I just could not support. I was hoping for more from both parties this year and am very dissapointed.

I tell you all that not because you care but so you dont consider that I am some strong advocate for any and all Republicans. I am much more conservative than liberal for sure but put my country well ahead of any party affliations.
