I also don't like his fiscal and foreign policy positions. But I must admit that I do respect him. He is very direct in his positions, even if it's damaging the Republican's Religious Right political base, like his position on abortion. He strikes me as honest. He is sticking to his public financing position and Obama is not (I find Obama's decision not use public financing perhaps politically wise but ethically sad). Also remember that he is a Vietnam War Hero and former prisoner of war. <BR/><BR/>Name calling is the tool of the disempowered and I think in the current situation there’s plenty of public discussion and the odds of Obama winning the presidency is high. Also I associate ad hominem and name-calling arguments with right-wing windbags that I despise (OReilly, Limbaugh, ect). We agree that it would be a disaster for him to be elected but I think you hurt your credibility using name calling to criticize McCain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
