Straight Talk

Let me first say that I disagree with John McCain's stance on nearly all issues. He's pro-life, pro-war, pro-Bush, pro-gaffes, etc. That being said, he was on the Hardball College Tour w/ Chris Matthews today & I must tell you that it was refreshing listening to him talk. For once, a candidate who can give you straight answers without hedging his bets. He might have been pandering to his audience since he was in Villanova University but who cares? The Straight Talk Express delivered. He answered "yes" or "no" and then gave an explanation for his position instead of blathering on and on like his democratic opponents do with annoying regularity.

Q: Do you think Obama is an elitist? No. But I think that the comments he gave were . . .
Q: Will you call for an end to swift boat attack ads in the general election? Yes. Because . . .
Q: You are known as a maverick. Would you allow ex-PA Gov. Ridge (R) to be your V.P.? No. While I admire his service to this country, he is pro-choice and . . .
Q: Will you invade Iran? I don't know. Because . . .

He wasn't straight talking about Iran because we all know he'll invade it as soon as he takes the oath of office but . . . Tomorrow, Shrillary & Barack have yet another debate on ABC. Let's hope they put their bitterness (pun intended) behind them & start giving some straight talk. From what I saw today, if McCain goes up against Clinton, he'll win. Convincingly.

Update: The Democratic debate in Pennsylvania was AWFUL!!! Shame on ABC. Rev. Wright, flag pin, Obama flimsy connection w/ a 1960s radical guy, . . . Haven't we had enough rhetoric about this nonsense already? I want those 90 minutes of my life back!
