The problem is that he's too centrist. Everyone likes to pretend their centrist, but there are only about six Senators who really are. By being centrist, he's not conservative enough for the right and he's still right of the left. As proven by our strongly two party system, people here vote on polarizing issues, not subtleties and compromise.
Personally, while I like the guy a lot he lost a lot of my respect when he defended the war in Iraq by invoking 9/11 with the phrase, "we were attacked first." -Kevin On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 23:26:31 -0400, Robert Munn wrote: > McCain, but he couldn't make it through the primary process of either party. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=35 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:133302 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
