perhaps. It is not. He has more experience in all the issues you raised than your candidate. That is simple fact. McCain's voting record certainly supports more of what I support.

And, in closing, being a true patriot is certainly not harmful in a presidential candidate. He put his country before himself...you cannot be more patriotic than that.

Fair enough....with one qualification...
The last line of the post...was in response to a poster saying that conservatives saying "I am a nice person and I know I am right so don't feel the need to defend..." yada yada. I am not trying to pick a fight. As to knowing what I am talking about and you don't...if that is the impression you take, I am sorry for that. I think most of the posts directed at me...to call them condescending would be mild. And yet again...you MISUNDERSTAND no matter how many times I have said it. I am not against S-CHIP. I was fine with it as it was. I was against expanding it to higher income levels. So, if you are going to lecture me, at least get it RIGHT. Again...not against SCHIP. I said, very clearly in my post, that I was all for taking care of low income families who could not afford to insure their children. You chose to ignore that and yet again accuse me of being against S-CHIP. So, thank you for respecting my opinion, however, please get my respect the correct opinion.

And..so sorry for trying to extend an olive branch. Obviously the wrong thing to do.

Is being a prisoner of war qualification to be President?
With all due respect...Do you know how many men and women have sacrificed for this country and become prisoners of war? Do you think each and every one of them is qualified to be President of the United States because they were once held captive by the enemy? If that is all McCain has going for him, it just doesn't cut it! In my opinion, being a prisoner of war is way down at the bottom of the list of qualifications for being President of the United States. It should not even be an issue!

Oh yeah, that is a qualification for the 2nd highest office in the land.
And pay off the debt the GOP created.
