Look. McCain. What the hell? I know.
Just get me my nose plugs. Sure, he thinks that America should adopt the rest of the world. That an influx of 50 million new voters (more ominously, 50 million potential new medicade, medicare, welfare, social security recipients (and statistically, a couple of new criminals too)) is just what the country needs. Look, I can understand the democrats wanting to repopulate the country with a citizenship that has already demonstrated that they can vote for the same party for 90 years in a row without blinking. I am a believer that the country has at least some common intellectual and cultural roots that should be maintained by carefully letting people apply to become a member of our family.
Whatever, the guy who I may not even vote for, McCain, has at least one thing going for him. He is not a pissant lawyer who thinks he knows everything. I went to law school and I hate lawyers. What I am trying to say is that to him, it is not truth and beauty and beauty, truth, for matters of policy to be decided by activists lawyers. The video and partial transcript at the link illustrate this. So, yeah, Odumbo doesn't like judges who don't share his deepest values. Values I guess reflected by his, shall we say, relationships with Ayers and Wright?
So, fine. Why vote for McCain? Is he smart, probably not. Does he he understand basic conservative values, I doubt it.
However:
He will kill terrorists.
He hates elitist lawyer types who think that the problem with democracy are bitter clingers.
He will cut taxes AND cut spending.
He may also have Mitt as his Veep.
