Boston Herald endorses McCain

You can not find a bigger Washington insider than John MCCain. He can not fix the problems of America becuase he and others like him helped create the mess that it is. Congress has a single digit approval rating, Mr. Mc Cain you don't think you share any of the blame? John McCain would be 4 more years of George Bush!

The anti-Romney endorsements have nothing to do with McCain. They represent the fact that we the people of Massachusetts were swindled by the handsome and wealthy Mr. Romney. Democrats and independents crossed over to elect a pragmatic and effective CEO-type, but all we got was a do-nothing guy who pandered to the religious right, showed up for positive photo ops, and sent disposable minions out with the bad news, ruining their careers. Even the top republicans in the state like Swift and Cellucci are on different teams.

If only he was as engaged as Arnold in actually governing, and was able to grow from his mistakes. Instead, he is like a political beauty queen seeking a crown, but would have no clue what to do with it.

The Boston Herald and Joe Lieberman got it right - John McCain is clearly the best choice for President in either party for 2008. While not perfect, he has shown intelligence, independence and character throughout his political career, and true heroism during his time in Vietnam. It would be America’s loss if he is not taking the oath of office on January 20, 2009.

What happened to the John McCain I once admired? Today I see a person that, despite being unfairly attacked by Bush's henchmen (Karl Rove, et al) in 2000, he has now hired these thugs to attack his current opponent as "not one of us" (and worse).

Now look at the erratic behavior of McCain over the past month; does anyone thing bringing Sarah Palin on is really putting "country first"? And look at McCain's recent statements, \\\"the fundementals of our economy are strong", followed by "if I were president today I would fire him\\\" (SEC chairman), followed by "we cannot bailout AIG or anyone else\\\" (they were bailed out the next morning), followed by "I will suspend my campaign" (he never actually suspended it), followed by a foolish statement at the debate "I will enact across-the-board spending freeze except the bailout and veterans". Wow, does that make any sense? Also his posturing at the debate, plus his refusal to look at his opponent makes me think that, if he had to negotiate with a world leader, would he refuse to look at them?" Not very presidential in my opinion. Bottom line, I fear this man and his kneejerk decisions. Yes, knowledge & experience is important, but good judgement is more important. The economy and military of our great country is burdened right now, we need someone with vision, not someone whose only strength is war. And should McCain die, can you say President Palin with a straight face?
