Robert, I am not taking it so personal. It is devistating to me too to see the state of our Political Arena. I am too damn close not to be. I like McCain but I remember the "Keating Five" and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. (I have a Son-in-Law who has been in Banking for many years) That was the beginning of the S&L Crisis. They should all have gone to Jail. However Deregulation was a disaster in the Banking World. I have a Quadrapleghic Nephew (6'8") from theViet Nam conflict, He was not as lucky as McCain. His prison is his bed where his parents have spoon fed him for all of these years. I see nothing in this group of Presidential Candidates and it will not matter who gets elected, it has been the same ole' same ole' B/S for many years. We seem to get more of the same every Election. It looks like Jeb Bush is a Tyrant who is slitting his own throat and his brothers in Florida. EO to eleminate the Affirmative Action Programs "won"t cut it". It appears that all of the candidates are "operating without benefit of brain", this is probably more discouraging to me than it is to you. I remember the year my late husband and I voted in the Presidential Election in Ct. and the winner was announced on the Car Radio on our way home. Voters had not yet voted in California, talk about discouraged and suspicious since I know the person who put through the call to burn the ballot boxes in KC to elect Harry Truman. It is no wonder he went to bed the night of the election ;-) Seems more of the same to me, how about you. I respect your right to disagree. but fit into McCains shoe? :-) <btw> I never considered McCain a Populist, that is Pat Buchanan's territory is it not?
