You don't seem to get it. We are not saying that McCain is without flaw. We wanted a stronger conservitive.
However, he is much better then Barack Hussein Obama. You cannot deny that. Also, their voting record is what it is. I forgot that though, Barack Hussein Obama does not have much of a record, "just words".

McCain's voting record, or lack thereof
Senator Ted Kennedy, who suffers from a life-threatening brain tumor that requires daily treatment, has now officially voted more times in the last few months than John McCain. And Kennedy's only voted once since being diagnosed on May 20.
Kennedy wanted to make the Senate vote on the recent Medicare bill—which halted a 10% pay cut for physicians who accept Medicare—so badly that he supposedly flew from Massachusetts to DC after the day's treatment, walked onto the Senate floor to a standing ovation, belted out an "Aye," and then flew home immediately after the vote.
McCain? He hasn't showed up to vote since April 8, missing a total of 76 votes.
And we're not talking about inconsequential votes or voting margins large enough for his vote to be inconsequential. When the Senate took up the Medicare bill two weeks ago, it fell short by one vote, and Kennedy and McCain were the only absent Senators.
Here's the attendance record for the 110th Congress according to the Washington Post's database:
John McCain: Missed 374 votes (61.8% of total)
Barack Obama: Missed 263 votes (43.5% of total)
As I've said before, missing a few votes when you're running for president is understandable. But at some point you have to at least attempt to do the job you were elected to do.
My biggest problem with a lot of these discussions is that people are just parroting what they hear or just taking wild guesses. The same institute that we use to label Obama as the most Liberal voter also stated that they were unable to grade McCain in the same time period because he had missed too many votes to register in their format.

I say God is very busy throwing up right now. Thankfully he is every where present at once so while he hurling over the pitiful choices the US folks have for their president he is also still ruling in the kingdoms of men and I am covered by His wings and upheld by the strength of His hands!
Obama has changed his position as much if not more then McCain. All politicians do this, that's why we look at their voting record. That will tell you their true beliefs.

If Rush and Hannity say it then it's got to be bible.
I think we need a separate Daniel section.

You have been basing your latest posts on family values, VB.
The McCain flip-flops deal with moral issues important to the conservative base.
Of course, politicians should evolve when dealing with policies dealing with economics and other things that are fluid.
I would hope they can react to the markets and new information in making decisions even if they have to change their previous stance.
But when one changes moral views like PP changes screen names there is a problem with character. When even true conservatives like James Dobson see this double-mindedness how can one trust him when in office to represent what you think he represents today?
We know where Obama has stood on these moral issues for years. McCain, who knows?

You make a valid point... Obama has ALWAYS been immoral in his positions so that is a good reason to support him... consistency thou art a jewel!
