[QUOTE="brett636, post: 297761, member: 249"] Unfortunatly the current choice of candidates has a lot of traditional republicans making a tough choice on who to vote for. McCain is far from a traditional republican, in fact he is the most liberal candidate running for President on the republican side. Mitt Romney is really the best choice given the current field, but a republican presidential candidate needs the support of evangelical Christians to have a chance, and those people are foolishly voting for Huckabee. Huckabee has no chance, but with his preacher background he is effectively taking votes that would to go Romney allowing McCain to win key primaries. Personally, my biggest beef with McCain is his stance on immigration. Last summer he and Ted Kennedy wrote up that horrible immigration bill that really was just an amnesty bill. They drew it up in the dark of night, and tried to force it through congress without letting any of the other congressmen/women have a chance to read it. They wanted no discussion, no debate, and no chance for their colleagues or constituents to see what they were trying to do. When McCain was called out on it he told a fellow Senator "friend* You!!" He knew what he was doing was not acceptable by the American people, but he still tried to get it to the President's desk who had already promised to sign it. The switchboards on congressional hill lit up for days, having to shut down at times due to the extreme volume of people calling in telling their representatives to vote no. The bill was ultimately defeated, and McCain says he has changed his tune, but I have a hard time buying it. Like all politicians he will only change his tune until he is elected. Then, I fear he will be back to his old games again. [/QUOTE]
