Very interesting. You notice he has a son serving in Iraq and yet he still stands behind his stance on Iraq. He also does not use his family like other people. It is sad that he is campaigning the way it should be done, based on what he says and not some dog and pony show, yet he will lose because he is not doing those things people supposedly hate. Such is politics
I appreciate McCain's candor compared to the phoniness that comes from almost every other politician - especially Romney - and even though I disagree with his stance on many things, knowing (well, thinking) that he will say what's on his mind is his appeal to me. I'm rooting for him.

I agree about about everything except disagreeing with him. I agree on a lot, although I do disagree with some. I totally agree with you about romney

I totally agree. The far right scares the crap out of me
Why?
Just does. I usually vote republican because it is the closest thing to a Libertarian candidate as possible, but the ones that are on the far right are far to intrusive into your life.
alright Dray - now you have me confused. If you are a Libertarian - as am I - then you must know they are the far right - by definition. Libertarians are much further right than republicans. Maybe you are making the mistake of labeling a Christian as being "far right" as the media and the left often try and do? Maybe religious people are listed as far right because of their morals, but arent left/right descriptions usually based more on economics than morals?
As far as Huckabee is concerned, I wont vote for him either, but its because of his stances. He's pretty far to the left on a number of issues.

Sorry that is what I meant. I was using the gen pop def of far right, which is the Christian right basically.
I know that Libertarians are further right, I was using the definition I figured most were familiar with
The terms Left & Right are not usually used to describe economic stances more than social stances. And currently it is quite the opposite. I think most people right now would associate the left with socially progressive and the right with socially conservative. This is not a mistake by the media since these terms are not absolute. The reason people don't call Libertarians far right is because it would be misleading.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
