McCain has shown poor judgement on military matters. He supported the all-out occupation of Iraq and only wanted to make it bigger once he saw what a collosal error it was. That alone disqualifies him from being president. McCain also seems to believe Vietnam was a noble cause which could have been won if we'd just stayed there another decade. That is total balderdash. That war was insane and totally lost before McCain got out of POW camp. Maybe he missed the news during that time. Those who know him are also aware he has an explosive temper, and his age is certainly an issue. Remember, Alzheimer's hit Reagan while he was still in office, and he was younger than McCain is now. McCain also has much worse medical problems than Reagan ever did. And finally, McCain is no Reagan. What makes this all the more clear is that we finally have a once in a lifetime special leader Barack Obama to choose instead. While some may find him "risky", he is honest, ethical, brilliant, fair-mined and has shown truly excellent judgement in terms of the issues. Electing him would solve many of our major problems in one fell swoop. Our dollar would rebound right away, gas prices would go down, and we would finally get out from under the yoke of the big fossil fuels lobby because Obama takes no corporate lobbyist money so is not beholden to anyone except the people.
