McCain vs. Zell Miller

[CARLHAYDEN]

I'd vote for Miller.

I'm from Arizona and am ashamed that I once voted for McCain.

McCain is rude, arrogant and dishonest.

Liberals like McCain because he is more than willing to do their dirty work.

Boss Tweed and A-Max,

Both of you should be congragulated for noting the central point in this interesting thread.  

McCain is supported by liberals and Miller by conservatives.  

Very similiar to the 2000 primary results where (except for New Hamprshire) Republican primary voters prefered Bush and Democrats voting in the Republican primaries (where permitted) voted McCain.

Lunar,

There are two seperate distinctions between Miller and McCain.

First, from all I have seen Miller votehis principles whereas McCain has none.  To put it more precisely, down deep he's shallow!  When the liberal media comes calling he's ready to carry their water.

Second, from all reports I have seen and heard, Miller is a gentleman whereas McCain has a record as a self-righteous, rude, arrogant loudmouth and showboat whose primary political mission over the past few years has been to silence the voices of dissent so that only the propaganda of his liberal buddies will be heard.

Your position is quite understandable.

I live in a town with many military retirees, including ex-pows.  I happen to know an ex-Vietnam pow who spent several years in the Hanoi Hilton.  He (I think understandably), doesn't like to talk about the subject.  

I would not presumed to say anthing negative about his conduct as a pow.

I do note that many McCain supporters who use his ex-pow status as a shield against his poltical actions have not been similiarly inclined for others such as Admirals Stockwell or Denton.

If you are interested in the subject, I suggest you read Denton's book, When Hell Was In Session..
