Given my druthers I wish that I had voted for Mitt Romney. At this point McCain is truly the least evil currently being offered in this presidential campaign. I would have liked to have thought that McCain was merely a lackluster candidate but he is worse then that. He needs to be seriously educated on the economy and even, sadly, basic monetary policy and basic business policy (it wasn't too long ago he still referred to the drug companies as "the Bad Guys"). Also, he has come out for lower taxes, a no brainier at this point given the success of the Bush tax cuts on the economy in the past (the present economic funk has nothing to do with that Bush fiscal policy). He has even proposed cutting the payroll tax, (allowing for personal SS accounts) which is where the Social Security system performs its trick of legal plunder. But when recently asked how he would deal with the upcoming budget disaster that will come from the Medicaid and Social Security shortfall and specifically those payroll taxes that pay those bills McCain said: "everything is on the table". So when an incredulous George Stephanopoulos , of ABC's "This Week" repeated the question McCain repeated "everything is on the table". WHAT?
The good news is: he is capable of learning but the begging questions are: 1. Can he learn fast enough? 2. Shouldn't he already know this?
Mitt would never have this problem.
The only positive is that McCain can be a hopeful counterweight to Pelosi, Reid and the Dem controlled Congress... Maybe.

I will simply protest my voice by making my vote invalid.
