McCain and the Independent vote

McCain is not a Maverick, he hasn't sold out. He's always been kind of a dick.

I really don't have a comment about this story. All I wanted to say is reason.com is awesome.

The independent voter, by definition, isn't voting for Barack or McCain. Anything other than a vote for either is a wasted vote as we are a two party system.

For McCain its all abou the "W" word...

McCain is from a long lineage of warriors.
His ancestry was resolute with war.
Hence the man was born into war. He runs his campaign as war is the touchstone to the people!

Born, raised and winding his life through in and about war he tells his story...

It does not seem to matter to him that the Vietnam War in which he served was an imperialistic national blunder to stop communism from taking over the world! The pro war hype of that era would have the nation believe we were in danger- "fear" was our guiding light!

I as a young boy witnessed this abomination of our nation going into that war- “stop the communists, they are taking over the world!” That was the word of the day. "The domino effect will..."

McCain, to this day feels betrayed by the American peace movement as to why the Vietnam War was lost. This is familiar ground for the current war culture that manifest itself in the Iraq War!
A war that McCain said we needed and voted for! Yet another war that historically will go down as a political assignation of our constitution and our cultural beliefs! Another huge loss of our nations equity and our beloved youth all for the political ego and a lack of policy wisdom!

Wars are won or lost by the rightness of the participants Mr. McCain!
As our nations history goes, we have never lost a war when we were right but we now have lost wars because we were ideologically wrong! Its not just about strength its about wisdom and justice.
This is a viable point that MCcain or conservatives cant make- a war is right or wrong firstly and winning it or losing it is the second consideration!

McCains campaign video is sequenced within his life of war.

Service and gratitude of and for his country is based on his war experience.

Then the video biography sequences into his career as an AZ. senator.
Twenty-six years of senatorial time are blurred into nothingness!

His voting record parallels the GOP- a 10% difference from the GOP is supposed to define his presidency, difine his given name the “Maverick?”
His record cannot be hidden, his ideology is full of contradiction-flip flops!

President Bush said, “Im the War president, Im the War president!”
It most definitely seems there is another one named John McCain following in the wings!
I truly hope he is not the one!

I don't even think McCain thinks he is out of touch with the American people and is a joke !!! John McBush must have spent a fortune on "Applause" machines at the Convention !!!! He voted "NO" for any type of alternative energy and drilling ANWAR in Alaska !!!! Just another Republicant that will do just that ...."Can't" !!!!!

Anyone notice what word he didnt mention at all during his speech ? That would be Bush the republicans are trying to distance themselves as much as possible from the curren administration . I watched the RNC and noticed that when they showed the crowd there is absolutely no diversity the republicans do NOT represent the people of America i know very well the democrats are not perfect but they atleast represent the people better , and i know very well if Mccain wins it will be a very scary 4 years if not 8 .

I am Independent McSame will not get my vote Obama all the way f$#@#@#$% McCain/palin
