John McCain is heralded as a genuine leader, a genuine caring and compassionate man, a war hero - remember this man chose to stay in hell with his comrades, rather than leave for comfort, when comfort was his to have! Gut's doesn't seem adequate to describe this hero - and today Senator McCain visits Shorja market in central Baghdad, Iraq - a place where none of us wants to be. He is genuine, he is caring, he is compassionate, and he isn't afraid of hellish circumstances- yes he has guts, but guts isn't enough, he's gonna need something else, which is what this article reflects.

Part of the problem for "vote America 2007" is the sheer number of people who want your click - • Joe Biden • Sam Brownback • Hillary Clinton • Chris Dodd

• John Edwards • Rudy Giuliani • Mike Huckabee • Dennis Kucinich • John McCain

Barack Obama • Bill Richardson • Mitt Romney • Tom Tancredo• Tommy Thompson

In addition, more may be added to the field. While some of them are about as interesting as breakfast cereal, we still have to ask ourselves, which one of these has the "Oh yes, that will work for certain, and we know you are going to do it," approach to our difficult areas in our country? Wow, that didn't take you long. Yes, they don't have it yet, do they? Yet we are going to let them get away with it again, we're going to give them millions of dollars to prove to us that they can be placating to our common fears and divisions. It's what they do best, right versus left, Democrat versus Republican, the tune stays the same, and is enriched; when they bring in color, religion and sex. They who are supposed to represent our best and highest choose to teach us to look into the future with blinders on. Until we come to this very interesting but unfortunately elderly gentleman and war hero-, there the blinders come off- and the light disturbs us more than just a bit.

As a former 45 year Arizonan, it is apparent you truly know very little about Senator McCain....about the thousands upon thousands ripped from investors in Lincoln Savings & Loan and the Keating fiasco from the elderly in Arizona, about his betrayal of MIA/POWs after relations were restored with Vietnam, about how he never was an Arizonan simply married a very wealthly native and then went about using his POW and war experience to 'buy' a seat in the Arizona legislature for one term, before securing his Senate seat with Senator Goldwater's help - until Goldwater too got sick of his betrayal of Arizonans after the Keating mess. How the Keating mess actually lead to what is going on in the mortgage market today, in those 'creative' subprime loans he and other members in Congress then foistered in order to again, 'stimulate the economy' for the banking industry. Think you might need to do some real research on the real McCain....
