At first I was very cautious of John McCain, although he is supposedly a conservative, he had sided with the left several times and in my view he caved in without getting anything in return.

My opinion slowly changed until now I believe he is the best candidate for the times we are in. There is no doubt John is a patriot, what he has given his country is unparalleled except for maybe the founding father's and a few others since then. I'm not sure how anyone could endure what he and others did in those POW camps, that was torture, nothing we do to our prisoners of war even comes close.

He has done nothing except serve his country his entire life. I still don't agree with him on everything, but I would never agree with someone on everything they believe.What I like about McCain is that he never waivers, what you see is what you get.When he believes in something , he believes it to be the right thing to do,and doesn't waiver regardless of public opinion. However having said that, he is willing to change his mind if public opinion believes differently and after having thought about it ,he sees he might be wrong. IE, oil drilling and immigration. Only a hard headed fool never changes his mind on anything.

Through no fault of George Bush, the last several years have been pretty hard, a lot stuff has come down on us. I'm just thankful we had a tough president to lead us through it all, not that he hasn't made mistakes, everyone does!
We still face some difficult times over the next 4 or 5 years, John McCain is tough, he will deal with it and get us through it with minimal damage. Plus we need someone to make us laugh again, John McCain, with his sense of humor will do that.

He has received a lot of criticism lately about his owning 7 houses. First of all the houses belong to Cindy.
Through the hard work and determination of her father Jim, achieved the American dream. What is wrong with that? Isn't that what America is all about. It's time we show the poor how to become successful instead of trying to drive the successful into utter failures through excessive taxes and unnecessary regulations!

I met her father once,he was probably way into his 70's or early 80's and still more active than most 50 year olds. From that brief encounter I came away believing him to be a very determined, hard working, business man. He came back from WW2, started a beer distributorship in Phoenix and grew it into one of the most successful businesses in America. The man needs to be commended,not criticized.

I believe because of his sound judgment and common sense, McCain is the best choice for the times we are in and will guide us in the right direction.
