Reply #5: Great point about McCain.

I never thought about it that way, but I think you've hit the nail on the head. Even I (a self-identified socialist) found myself thinking McCain was likable and reasonable for a Republican, and in general I DON'T LIKE THEM, don't like what they stand for,or believe in.

On Hillary -- I couldn't agree more. I was no Bill fan, and I am certainly not a Hillary fan. She is hated by many across the spectrum of the right and by those (like me) on the far left. I hate that she "sucks up" to the right by being a war hawk, sponsoring the anti-flag burning amendment, and being wishy-washy on abortion rights. Didn't we learn from Kerry that this attempting to play both sides simply doesn't work?

People may say that the American public is stupid, but they frequently know a phony when they see one, and she is as big a phony as I have seen in a long time. I don't understand why people get into politics if they are not passionate about the issues in the first place.
