That is the truth there!
I find it funny that so many democrats are so hateful to McCain right now, a man who is considered too liberal for hardcore republicans and still has issues with the "conservative right". McCain lost to Bush in the primaries in 2000 because he was too middle of the road. There was even talk of McCain picking Joe Lieberman for his VP, a close friend of his! I would have loved that. McCain really is a moderate republican.
By the way, I have a bit of off topic irony for Obama supporters. For the last three years, Obama has said he wants to take money from NASA, an organization that inspires young people to study math and science,
employs many engineers and technicians, and has a very small budget, to fund math and science initiatives. He essentially wants to punish those people that studied hard in school, became engineers and work for NASA and its subcontractors (like me and many of my friends and colleagues). Now I know he has changed his official stance since coming to Florida, but why would someone change their personal view permanently when they have held it for so long?
