I'm going to start talking politics again
I do not think it will be wise for Republicans to pick McCain as their nominee for president. I feel the same way about Huckabee.
Just because McCain was a brave warrior in the worst of circumstances as a POW during Vietnam does not mean he could be President of the United States.
Huckabee, well, Huckabee is a minister. I don't like the idea of a Baptist minister as my president.
I mean, really. Wouldn't everyone on earth just howl if a Catholic Priest was running for President?
For me, it comes down to immigration. Despite the liberal pundits claims that illegal immigration is necessary, I see it as a threat to the livelihoods of many middle class Americans.
I would prefer Fred Thompson, but I guess he really got into later than he should have. I will be satisfied with Romney or even Giuliano (despite their problems, I think they can beat either Hillary or Obama)
McCain is an anti-free speech candidate. He is pro-immigration. He is a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to foreign policy, though at least he would probably deal with Iraq well.
Back to immigration, even legal immigration takes away American's jobs. Greedy corporations have declared that they MUST have the ability to hire foreigners because there are just not enough American technology-trained people. This is bullshit. I've seen it for myself at both Sprint and Cerner - they hire people from Third World countries who often have problems with the English language, and they hire more and more of these folks, many of them fine people, mind you, it is not their fault, and then the companies they hire fewer and fewer Americans. And it happens at many, many companies.
Grrr. I have things I have to do. I'll try to be more exact later on.

Well, it's about time! LOL!
I'm so disappointed that Fred didn't catch on with Republicans. I hope that he'll bow out because Florida is coming up and we don't need the distraction... so many FredHeads are saying that they'll vote for him as long as he runs, no matter what.
I think I'm down to Romney because I don't like what Rudy's had to say about the 2nd Amendment... and he's pro-abortion. And there's no way I will vote for McCain.
The field is lacking, to say the least.
By the way, I enjoyed John's story of the dawg hunt... Poor Gunner... poor John... LOL!

But if McCain is the nominee?

I forgot to say that I'd not vote for Huckleberry, either.
I so want people to wake up to FRED. :(
