I am still in shock after reading Mr. Wallison's article comparing McCain to Reagan. I find such a comparison highly insulting to the Reagan legacy. I watched that little, weasel McCain try to arrogantly fool this country into swallowing his amnesty bill. When talk radio and Internet bloggers exposed his legislative tricks, he screamed bloody murder and accused those who opposed his bill of being racists (what party always seems to resort to that)?. This told me loud and clear that what the so-called, straight-shooting McCain most fears is an educated and informed electorate. His arrogance alone disqualifies him from any comparison to Reagan.

Is Mr. Wallison not aware of Senator McCain's assault on free speech in McCain/Feingold? Are we to believe that someone who argues for domestic trials for Gitmo terrorists and who opposes water boarding is the right person to lead the war on terror? Should we trust McCain to lead our economy when he opposed Bush's tax cuts? Is the straight shooter going to give us a logical reason why he voted against drilling in Anwar?

p>If Mr. Wallison wants to compare McCain to another politician then it seems pretty obvious to me who that should be. He might look better than her in pantsuits but what he's trying to hide is just about as bad. br> -- Carner York br> Pennsylvania /p>

How did that guy sneak into the American Enterprise Institute?

Principle! We besmirch Ronald Reagan because he had principle and somehow it is concluded that so does Senator McCain. Among the definitions we find in Webster's, of the word principle, is "habitual devotion to right principle." With the senator, we have found him to be more at home with the left than the RIGHT. The last of the Republican candidates we find comparable to Reagan is McCain!

The thought of him as President makes my blood run cold! With Hillary we know it's -What you see is what you get. It will be ever more painful if we elect him and predictably he cozies up to the loony left probably before the inaugural balls are over. After the election, should he win, the same bodies would people the transition teams-Carville-Kennedy staffers-the forehead et al. Interchangeable with Hillary's minions. Ronald Reagan took Tip O'Neill to the woodshed! McCain will take Teddy to bed.

Was it principle that caused McCain to give us the unconstitutional finance reform mess? Or was it a severe case of conscience because he got caught with his hand in the Keating S&L cookie jar? You see it's always about McCain. His psychotic need to show how pure he is, drove THAT one. It was not principle.

The Bush tax cuts, which all but leftist Democrats hail as the engine driving our thriving economy were opposed by McCain. He and a couple of other RINOs voted NO! Twice! Principle? Hardly.

The maverick gang he led to give the leftist democrats cover when they were stonewalling Conservative judicial candidates, including an eminent Hispanic conservative, was NOT an example of Mr. Wallison's beloved "principle." What it was (as Andy Griffith used to say) was among many examples of his enmity for Conservatives Republicans and George Bush. After all, he had to get even for their dissing him in 2000, didn't he?

Hand in glove with the swimmer, most democrats and the usual RINO suspects he tried to shove 10,000,000 ++ illegal immigrants down our throat under the cover of darkness. Thank god we were aided in figuring it out before and his buds could pull it off. Lately he begrudgingly admits to something in re this but on analysis is unapologetic. One day (maybe Sunday) he will try again, but with more guile. It's hilarious to attribute this perfidy with principle!

Close Guantanamo!!! Send the terrorists to Florida so their lawyers can file a blizzard of paper the way of the ACLU, with the overall goal of loosing the murdering dogs the way they do in our major cities. Cincinnati knows of this-and Detroit-and Houston- and Los Angelis and St Louis and many others. The D's rail(they did yesterday) about "Torture." There he goes again! It's about him. Are we to conclude his position springs from what the godless, blood thirsty communist N Vietnamese did to him and his fellows should be compared with our military in this time of war?
