He has no illusions about the workings of government.

I prefer to espouse my own ideas, thank you very much. I happen to agree more often than not with some of the people on Fox (Charles Krauthammer mostly, but not all the time), but I hardly parrot the "party line" like, say, a political operative for Obama might, lol.

His entire political career (such as it is) demonstrates antagonism to free markets. > And old political hack like McCain, as great as a guy as he might be, > as much as I might agree with philosophically, just doesn't have a > chance in hell of fixing anything. And the big lie here is that anyone can "fix" anything in Washington. Democracy has worked pretty much the same way since ancient Athens in the 5th Century BC. No one is going to "fix" anything. > > If McCain's constitution really drove him to fix, change, and win like > Obamas then he wouldn't have lost in 2000 or he would've joined Kerry > in 2004. McCain tried to play fair in 2000 and got Bush-whacked. By 2004, he decided he would stick it out until 2008 for his shot. Now that he has his shot, he is going to play the game the way it is supposed to be played, just like Obama is. As I have said, Obama is a decent guy, but he isn't the guy to lead the country right now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:263341 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
