Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 08:43 AM by tuvor
Note to self: DU Poll choices do not take kindly to quotation marks.

2. he was 'under?' the shark about 8 years ago. He was a conservative
idiot then but not a complete moron. I worry about his mental health because he is so changed since the neocons raped him in the 2000 campaign.

3. The "Bush hug" shot a few years back did it for me -
totally unacceptable, given what the BFEE had done to him & his family in that primary battle...

6. I think a War Hero pretty clearly demonstrating that he has not been paying attention
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 08:47 AM by patrice
to THIS war, not only shows that he is another LIAR, but, when taken in with the fact that PHIL GRAMM is his guy on ECONOMICS, we see very clearly that John McCain does not share our lives nor care about Us.

Plus there is the problem that we don't know whether he is a LIAR or someone who doesn't care enough to figure things out, or whether he's just an old old man who's losing "it" - none of which are attractive prospects.

7. In the 2000 race, McCain was already hawkish and wanted to attack Iraq. It was Bush who did not
want (he had not met Cheney yet).
