America's Imperfect Servant : /p>

I, too, was very touched by John McCain's acceptance speech. I am a retired Naval officer who did not vote for McCain in the Florida presidential primary, because I felt, at that time, there was a better choice. I will be voting for him in the general election.

I disagree with him on McCain-Feingold, his failed attempt with Kennedy to pass an amnesty bill last year, his reluctance to drill in ANWR, and his recent comments about combating 'global warming.'

However, his speech did convince me that, if elected, he is going to try to drain that fetid corrupt swamp which is Washington, DC. I believe he will also appoint truly conservative justices to the U.S. Federal Judiciary. Whether or not he can get them past the Senate, and the U.S. media is another question.

He isn't perfect, as he humbly admits. Humility -- an extremely rare trait in politicians. I hope it isn't a pose.

In any event, he's the only 'conservative' in the race who has a chance of winning against the liberal Democrat Party and their henchmen, the print/TV media.

He also gave the up-and-coming Sarah Palin a huge boost for the future. There are a number of fine conservative young leaders beginning to show up around the country.

p>Maybe there is hope for the future. I'm voting against Barack Obama because I want my grandchildren to live in an America which is close to what I've enjoyed in my lifetime. br> -- R. Goodson br> Vero Beach, Florida /p> p>
