Sarah Palin speech at RNC

[Marswolf]

I wish the ticket was Palin and somebody else...

No offense, but....

McCain could be stronger (a lot stronger like Dubya could be) on 2A, but I actually like him. Have for years. I get a little sick of the McCain bashing because he has some sense instead of being like some sort of mindless right-wing religion nut job and he has actually been there and understands America.

He and I disagree on some issues, but he has some sense, unlike most of the other Republican contenders for the Presidential position. Frankly, I wouldn't vote for Palin for President right now. She's comes across as too much of a religious fruitcake, at least as she portrays herself. I'm not sure that is an honest portrayal, but that is what she says.

McCain is a good man in of himself. Patriot, hero, sensible man. I'm tired of hearing how he is somehow not worthy because he isn't a zealot.

So true. I've always had much respect for John McCain. I think he has a history of being rational, logical, and not leaning too far one direction or another for my liking. I actually think some of the things he's been saying in the last few months are pandering to more reactionary hardline republicans - remember, he has been accused of not be ing conservative enough before. Which is fine with me, I would love to have a neutral party as president some day. But yeah, ditto to what mars said.
