What will you like most about the McCain Presidency?

When McCain is elected this fall, what do you suppose his first 100 days will be like?

Do you think it will be an utter failure like the last Congress was? Completely in effectual?

Or,

Do you think McCain will start out like a tidal wave? Closing Gitmo, reconstituting relationships, vetoing every bill with added pork?

It's obvious, or at least should be, that McCain almost has the election wrapped up. Hillary and Barak are going to do irreparable harm to the Dem ticket.

I think it will be good for the country. McCain is a good, moderate, semi-honest politician. He knows the game and will play it well.

I am not an McCain fan or supporter but I agree I think he will be the next president.

I shudder.

war, war, war.

He simply cannot veto every bill with added pork. Without a line item veto power, some of it is going to be attached to bills that simply must be passed.

Bi-Polar,

You Clinton folks are going to have to make a choice here. Do you really prefer McCain to Obama?

If you get on board with the Democrat who has won the primaries, it will go a long way to making sure we don't lose in November.

Yes. At least I do.

As for McCain. I truly hope he will bring fiscal discipline back to our government. While I support some of Clinton's social plans (most notably healthcare), we need a financially solvent government FIRST and FOREMOST.

I knew that Ma... it seems like McCain is a good candidate from someone with your political leanings.

I have never grasped the reason for your devotion to Mrs. Clinton.

I have already said I'll write in for my favorite candidate.

What are the odds that you'll write "Obama"?

A vote for your favorite candidate is a vote for McCain. (But neither you nor she seem to think this is a really a bad thing.)

Yes it is America and you can vote for whomever you damn well please-- and I can criticize the callous arrogant idiocy of Clinton and her supporters who claim to care about America and the principals of the Democratic party and then are willing to tear apart the Democratic party and put McCain in office simply because they lost the Primary.

The nomination is supposed to be won through the primaries and caucuses with the candidate who wins each state (by getting more votes) deciding the winner.

But go ahead... vote for who you like. It is your right.

But if a president McCain increases our involvement in Iraq and starts new military adventures in other countries...

if a president McCain continues Bush's program of wiretapping without a warrant.

... and if a president McCain appoints more conservative judges further eroding woman's health and science issues...

I am going to be pissed. This is my right.

People criticized Nader voters for having this same attitude. The difference is, of course, Nader never pretended to be a Democrat.

you can criticize whoever you want... you can even lump together hillary supporters as callous , arrogant and idiotic.... and you are free to go into spasms of righteous indignation if anyone says anything similar about obama and his crew of worshippers.....

ain't America grand?

Everything other than his hawkish side.

And to be specific, I applaud him for his "surge" support. I think he's closer to right on Iraq in specific details than many others, but I am very wary of his overall hawkishness, as this is the exact brand of stupidity that opened up the Iraq mess in the first place.

yeah yeah American is grand....

The difference between Obama "worshipers" and Clinton "worshipers".

Those of us supporting Obama want the winner of the Democratic primaries to be the nominee because he is, after all, the winner of the Democratic primaries (since it is almost certain that come the convention he will have won more delegates, more states and a greater percentage of the popular vote).

The Clinton worshipers seem to think their idol somehow deserves the nomination-- not because she won the election... but because she is Clinton.

That Clinton was beaten by a better candidate with a better message who attracted more people doesn't cross your mind.

So go take your ball and go home. We have a general election to take care of-- and I want the Democratic, anti-war candidate to win.

you don't have the balls to order me home Nancy..... and all you did was state your opinion and in my opinion... which is just as valuable as yours.... america and all.... your opinion in this matter is ****. Nothing personal, I'm sure you're a wonderful person who's kind to his mother.

Ah, more righteous indignation from the Obama supporters.

I love Obama's new brand of politics.
