Draft McCain
"As everyone in this room knows, our fiscal future can only be described as bleak. We have a projected deficit of over $521 billion and we continue to spend, and spend, and spend. Lately more and more comment about how Republicans and Democrats can't find any common ground and I myself have lamented on how nasty and partisan Washington has become. Well, I stand corrected, because there is one thing which unites Republicans and Democrats: Fiscal irresponsibility has become the great unifier of late, and for that we should all be ashamed.
I am a proud Republican. I'm a Barry Goldwater Republican. I revere Ronald Reagan and his party of limited government. Sadly, that party is no longer. The current version of the Republican party is engaged in an outrageous spending binge and they'e being steadied and encouraged by the Democrats. It used to be understood that no one ever voted for a Democrat to be a champion of fiscal responsibility. But at this point, is there a party to take up that worthy cause?" - Senator John McCain
How this guy lost out to Bush in the primaries I'll never know. Well, scratch that I do know, Karl Rove. Out of everyone, Democrat, Republican or otherwise, John McCain is the only one making any sense to me. Kerry is a dork, Bush is a dork as well, just in a more evil, let's kill all our children kind of way. I'll gladly accept Kerry as the lesser of two evils, but he comes across as too much of a politician, and politicians are not to be trusted. Someone like McCain running for president would be enough for me to vote across party lines, I'll even dance a jig while doing it. Unfortunately it seems like a pipe dream at this point.
