John McCain is no Ronald Regan. However, Ronald Regan probably couldn’t live up to his mythical stature even if we could clone him, his personality and his allure. The ghost of R.R. cast a long shadow and living up to myths is a difficult thing to do.
John McCain is a war hero, a United States Senator and a voice for secular Libertarian Republicans who value wealth and look for pragmatic ways to get what they want. Secular Libertarian Republicans tolerate people who hold to strong values, only as long as they can be manipulated. When strong value holding conservatives get in the way of Libertarian pragmatism Libertarians call them agents of intolerance. John McCain has called Social Value conservatives such names.
John McCain is an American Hero, yet the chances I’ll vote for him are very slim. I admire senator McCain, his family, his devotion to country and his service. The things I can’t accept about him are deal breakers though. I wish they weren’t but they are.
