John McCain...
John McCain has set up a exploratory committee and will probably get the GOPU nomination. I have no personal animus toward him but how can a person who was wrong about the greatest issue of our time (the Iraq War) and still holds that view be elected president. Where's the accountability?

The GOPU says government should be run like a business... Fine... What business would promote a person who almost wrecked it?

1. I'm sick of John McCain....
He is the biggest "flip-flopper" in the country. I used to have a little respect for him, but no more.
How could a POW, support a bill on torture?

2. He was part of the Keating 5. If this anti-corruption mood holds
he may not be able to get the nomination. Also, he does have the flip-flop problem. Too many issues to list right now, but I think Democrats would shove this right back in the republican party's face after what happened in 2004. It could be a big embarrassment for them.

3. He'll never get the party's nomination.
The conservative base hates him.
