"Yes I am supporting Senator McCain. Please don’t come here and scream about past comments or mistakes as if you’re revealing never before seen or heard information. There is not a candidate alive, today, or in the past, that hasn’t made mistakes or misspoken. It happens, it will continue to happen. I recognize that and am more than ok with it. Yes I have bias in that I know him, but I also know some of the other candidates as well.
I will tell you one thing. The Senator is the first politician who I’ve ever agreed to endorse and potentially campaign with that has NOT asked me to speak from something canned or created by his staff. While that might be a mistake on their part, it speaks to him as a person. He’s real, he’s human. He’s made mistakes and as I stated before I don’t agree with everything he says or does. I would argue that you’d be lying if you said you were in 100% agreement with any candidate in that sense.
I’m not left wing or right wing or center, hell I don’t know what those things really mean! I know what I believe. I know what my stance is. I am Pro-life, but I also think that decision is WAY beyond any one person to control or decide on. I am for the right to bear arms, but haven’t we as a nation made it clear we have not, and cannot police ourselves? How is it that 13 year old children can bring guns into OUR schools? How does that happen? Who the hell needs to OWN an automatic weapon? Seriously? Who? For what? I don’t hunt, but a bunch of my teammates do, and I get that, but I have yet to see an animal that can only be brought down by a weapon that shoots 1100 rounds a minute…
We need much stricter laws when it comes to who can and cannot purchase a fire arm. Why is an extended waiting period and legitimate background check such an issue? I don’t think that would solve our problems when it comes to crimes involving firearms but it sure as hell couldn’t hurt could it? Taxes? Honestly I could care less. I would prefer to pay less in taxes, wouldn’t anyone? But I’ll pay what the government says I have to pay to live here. Less is better but in the end it is what it is. I am all for increased spending for salaries of teachers, police and fireman, I am all for increased salaries of public servants. I am 100% against the bureaucracy and political agendas being at the forefront of how our politicians do their jobs.
I want someone in office that WILL look out for
America first. Whether you agree with me or not isn’t relevant, it’s my belief
that the time is now to elect a man/woman into the office of President that is,
and has been, a true American from day one. Someone with values and beliefs that
won’t stray from those to make the ‘right’ or ‘popular’ decision. I guess I am
looking for someone that I trust, someone with the integrity and honesty I would
want to protect my family were I not here. That person, in this next election,
is John McCain to me.
Curt Schilling really gets it. There were many in MA who was hoping that Schilling would run as the GOP nominee for US Senate vs John Kerry. Schilling would be a breath of fresh air. But since he signed a new contract with the Red Sox, looks like politics is on hold for the short term.
