Your vote for McCain will signify your support of a candidate who is even more of a mindless warmonger than Bush - and who opposes everything you hold dear.

McCain champions neoconservative policies that favor military action over diplomacy. If it was up to him we would still be fighting in Vietnam (and I probably would have been killed or maimed on my third or fourth tour there). His policies very likely will lead to the death of more of our military personnel and innocent civilians who become collateral damage. I have had enough war and death and don't want any more deaths on my conscience. Do you?
Six important points to consider before voting for McCain:
- If you don’t like the DNC, its current leadership, rules, super delegates, etc., change them. I don’t think it would be very difficult. I’ll be glad to help. Can you please explain to me what voting for McCain has to do with the DNC?
- How can you put your anger above the good of our country and vote for a man you know is manifestly unsuited to lead our country in peace or war?
- What is it you like about Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP, other than the fact that she is a woman? Are you really ready to place the fate of our country in her hands?
- What would you think of me, an old white male if, for example, I became angry at a female Democratic candidate for president and reacted by supporting an unqualified male solely because of his gender?
- What happened to the agreement Wes Clark supporters specifically and Democrats in general had to support whoever became the Democratic nominee? Isn't any Democratic President better than every Republican?
- Are you aware that McCain has consistently opposed VA funding and other bills which would provide medical and educational benefits to our men and women in uniform and old disabled vets like me, and has even come to support torturing of prisoners? I cannot for the life of me comprehend how a Naval Academy graduate and former POW could do this to his bothers and sisters in arms.
I haven't mentioned McCain's positions on choice, the environment, medicare, social security, etc., because I know you are aware of and disagree with them.
