Look no further than McCain for leadership, experience
Michael Roberts
Issue date: 1/22/08 Section: Opinion
John McCain admitted he is too old to be called a kid anymore before confessing to his audience "We sure showed them what a comeback looks like."
However, following his five point New Hampshire Primary win over former governor Mitt Romney, McCain looks stronger than ever.
In a way, you could say his resurgence in the polls and in the eyes of many skeptics is due to his experience and opinions in the area of foreign policy experience coupled with the current instability in foreign regions such as the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan.
John McCain radiates as the most fitting candidate for president essentially because of his foreign policy experience that he has accumulated in all of his years in the U.S. Senate.
McCain believes we should prioritize spending on national security, and that "Those who are charged with protecting our families should be provided with all necessary resources and direction." These are not unreasonable goals at all, to protect the nation and protect our troops by giving them the necessary means to do their jobs. McCain's grasp upon the economy and what needs to be done to make sure we don't slide further into a recession is also unmatched.
He wishes to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax, which is a tax targeted mainly at middle class Americans. McCain realizes that taxing the hard working middle class is simply a flawed policy as it does not raise the tax revenue by much and manages to decrease the standard of living for middle class people.
When facing the deficit, McCain proposes multiple wasteful spending elimination ideas. He realizes that government programs exist that are simply broken and black holes to the money that we put into them. Eliminating these programs would free up spending. He also proposes getting rid of wasteful subsidies and massive amounts of pork-barrel legislation.
On the issues of healthcare and the environment, McCain steps away from traditional conservative ideals and takes very progressive stances.

Good heavens McCain is not a Republican! He is a libral Democrat. Who on earth votes for this cackling old snake? Ron Paul needs to Take Back-the-GOP from the warmongering, corporate owned jackals that have hijacked the party. (Continued…)
