Re: McCain Is the Only Hope of the GOP & America

McCain is often hot tempered and and snappy. He's really toned himself down a bit recently in this campaign though. I don't think McCain is a stellar conservative. When he ran against Bush his lack of conservatism hurt him. McCain has supported Roe, though saying he's prolife, McCain even supported stem cell research. McCain's record with free trade is spotty.

When I look at the field and see who's rising to the top in both parties it's evident to me that Reganomics dead. The Republicans leading the pack are largely populist and progressive when it comes to economics. They'd make good late 80's early 90's Democrats.

I think it's time we wake up. The Republicans have no intention to address abortion and gay marriage. Some of the most powerful Republican constituents support abortion rights and gay marriage. Around every election they come out talking about life and values and then get into their pro-corporate money making schemes that nearly wreck the economy. Our economy has taken a big hit, the value of the dollar is down, the housing market is devastated...these cats are rotten to the core. They changed "deregulate", and "less governmental regulations in banking"...they got what they wanted and predatory lending practices got us here.

I don't think the Republicans are worth a lick. The Democrats aren't much better. The only thing we'd have going for us under the Democrats is that they might be grateful enough to actually listen to the American people and return to a Pro-American domestic policy that the Republicans completely abandoned.
