And I cannot think of one reason to vote for John McCain: He's pretending to be pro-life, his choice of running mate is a frightening joke, his health care plan would not provide health care to those without it and would take it away from those who get it through work. He doesn't understand economics. He's pro-deregulation, pro-big business. He is pro-war yet anti-veteran. He has abandoned any political beliefs he might have sincerely held to win the Republican nomination. He has run a very dirty campaign. I don't believe a word he says, I don't trust him, and I can't imagine our country would be better off with him at the helm. He's a hothead, he's belligerent, and in the presence of opponents, he acts like a petulant child. As for the assertion that Republican administrations are fiscally conservative and nonintrusive: This is the party line, but it's simply not true. Nobody has gotten us into more financial trouble than Ronald Reagan and Presidents Bush I and II. It was Bill Clinton who got our country into the best economic shape I have seen in my lifetime. And nobody has so trampled our civil liberties and eroded our privacy as Bush II. Will McCain, Washington insider for 26 years, "reform Worshington"? I don't think so.
