Even the “Reverend” Wright argument – which McCain refuses to use anyway – would have been negated to some extent by the separatist La Raza supporters McCain has for campaign advisors. Yummy schadenfreude – except for the bitter aftertaste, of course; the problem with this election is either Obama or McCain is going to win it!

I watched him tapdance his way around global warming. He believes wholeheartedly that it’s a manmade problem and in cap and trade; a ridiculous solution in any event that will largely serve to enrich Al Gore. The trouble is, science is increasingly showing that a) it’s no longer warming, b) that big, burning ball of gas in the sky has a lot to do with the temperature, and c) our measurement system is totally screwed up – read Watts Up With That to see the problems with the temperature stations. Another few years and we’ll be neck deep in another “global cooling” scare like we have been several times before.

I’m still voting for him, but certainly not wholeheartedly.

1. It seems like this drug plan would merely allow our citizens access to the tax-subsidized drugs of foreign countries. The foreign governments would still have to pay our drug companies whatever they asked for to buy them, and then our consumers could re-import them cheaply.

3. McCain has flip-flopped on the issue of amnesty due to popular opinion.

10. If you watched the second debate, he seems to have abandoned the smokestack tax idea (at least as long as the economy remains down). When the lady asked him about global warming, he mentioned his past McCain-Lieberman bill — but emphasized that his current solution would be to promote nuclear power. He has said that raising taxes during a recession would be suicide.

And ultimately, McCain has sacrificed a good number of liberal votes by picking Sarah Palin, so I think the least we can do is support him wholeheartedly. That, and he’s old.
