He seems like a real person, and not just a politician. However, he is much too liberal for me regarding his moral and constitutional issues, which I feel are important to consider. Hilary...oh, God, please don't let another Clinton in the White House! Not that Bill was horrible, but Hilary is a radical liberal's queen. So far, John McCain makes the most sense to me. But, I'll be interested in seeing who throws their hat into the ring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-41656597001438522922007-01-23T02:39:00.000-06:002007-01-23T02:39:00.000-06:00I think we should always refer to him by his prope...I think we should always refer to him by his proper name, Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

I'd like to think that our nation could elect a Muslim-trained, foreign-sounding, dark-complectioned man to our highest office on the basis of his actual abilities and credentials, but I just don't think so, right now. <br /><br />Hillary is a... quandry. As someone who is very leery of compromisers on the 2nd Amendment, I really don't want to see Hillary or her ilk in office. Hillary is, the modern Democrat, a heroine. But there's a LOT of backlash against her. To the Republican party (which I've begun to realize tha I don't really identify myself with, either), it's a zero-sum game. We want Hillary to be the Democratic candidate, because so many fence sitters feel so strongly against her. <br /><br />At the same time, there's a lot of Dubya backlash. LOTS. Hell, even <i>I</i>'ve got a little! (That's another discussion.) We need a candidate who is strong, but is in no way a carbon copy affiliated with our sitting President. <br /><br />I give you John McCain. Critical of our President at times, so he's got the correct distance. Calls for reforms of his own party, so he's got the ethical chops. Strong supporter of the war effort, and demands that we don't cut and run, but put in some more troops to do it right, if we're going to do it at all. <br /><br />This is a very winnable candidate.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.com
