p> COUNTED OUT br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s John McCain Battles On : /p>

Oh, dear. Another dreary article from the Spectator telling us about the wonderful John McCain. Let me list a few of his negatives from where I sit: He is dreadfully wrong on the First Amendment (campaign finance reform); he was dreadfully unkind to Christian Conservatives when it suited him -- now he loves us; he is more than eager to invoke class envy ("tax cuts for the rich"); he has ethical lapses (Frank Keating and the Keating Five); and on more than one occasion did his best to sink our current President over the last six and a half years. Does anyone remember his toying with the idea of running as John Kerry's VP?

Tell me again why he will be a great president? I think we have many good Republican candidates who are not burdened with John's baggage. PLUS, he is too old! I remember too many lapses on his part. He frequently forgets the Eleventh Commandment and at the same time loves Ted Kennedy of whom I have never heard John say an unkind word.

p>Mr. Tyrrell, did you forget all this? br> -- Judy Beumler br> Phoenix, Arizona /p> p> And one more thing! With John McCain as President, we will welcome another 20 million illegal aliens. He is wrong, wrong, wrong on immigration. He doesn't want to close the borders plus, in spite of what he says, he wants to give amnesty to all 20,000,000 illegals. Do we really want a John McCain presidency??? br> --
