I still put myself somewhere in the left, and much brighter minds like Christopher Hitchens and Oliver Kamm (just to name a few) have come out swinging for those very principles. We just have to be louder and more forceful in reclaiming that true democratic tradition.Roland Doddshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17819155097718124744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-87967506915282287722008-01-15T13:52:00.000-06:002008-01-15T13:52:00.000-06:00I'm with you brother. I caught the McCain bug in 2000, and haven't sought treatment since. McCain should also be lauded for his green stances.Steve Nizerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01096133883878049976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-41899722290041158352008-01-15T11:09:00.000-06:002008-01-15T11:09:00.000-06:00<I> may be nothing more than a bumper sticker slogan to some on the left </I><BR/><BR/>I must admit it is quite worrying that there is this misconception that all people on the left disagree with the war on terror. The war on terror means a lot to me - it means freedom, it means fighting fundamentalism and it means securing liberty for millions around the globe - lest we forget that terrorism is not just present in Iraq. I think those principles are common both on the right and on the left.<BR/><BR/>Regarding McCain - as you know I'm supporting Hillary - but I have a HUGE respect for McCain. He is definitely the most capable of the Republican candidates.Andrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04706450242483900385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-57466001788357401872008-01-15T05:06:00.000-06:002008-01-15T05:06:00.000-06:00Roland,<BR/> Support from people like you and democrat Pat Hickey of With Both Hands is one of the reasons manyy on the right hate McCain,<BR/><BR/>Personally I applaud your support and the man who has earned it, Sometimes it is about governance over politics.Brad Marstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13880439864314937178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24212995.post-26323494451385213832008-01-15T03:39:00.000-06:002008-01-15T03:39:00.000-06:00An ex-Trotskyite for McCain?
