If we allow Senator McCain to be elected President, though our own actions or inaction, he will herald in an era of more dead kids and soldiers. This won't be anything new, as President Bush has been perfectly willing to let more of our kids and soldiers die than ever was necessary.
John McCain opposes the expansion of SCHIP. He called President Bush's veto of that expansion "the right call." http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/10/03/m ccain.interview/index.html#cnnSTCVideo
John McCain is perfectly happy to have our presence in Iraq continue for as long as 100 years, depending on conditions. He's toeing a very hard line on Iran and on Russia. McCain's an honorable soldier who's biggest problem is that he thinks that the angry fist of military justice is almost always the appropriate response to any foreign problem or threat.
He's going to oppose health insurance for your kids. He's all about sending your kids out to fight, kill, and die in conflicts we can avoid. Elections have consequences. Your vote has consequences. If you think there are other concerns that matter more than these two, and others I will blog about later, well that's your choice.
Just don't pretend that we can well survive a McCain administration. You might. Others will not be so fortunate.
