so what is one to do??

Absolutly not. I like McCain and I trust him more than any other politican I know of.

1) If you trust McCain, you are intentionally blind to his past.

Now, if you merely prefer him over the other candidates (hard to believe) or prefer him over the candidates you think have a chance of winning (very easy to believe), I can buy that. But only a person willing to ignore facts can trust McCain.

2) I don't think Bob Barr is a libertarian just because he registered a a libertarian. Steve Kubby is pretty damn libertarian, and Ron Paul is very libertarian. I wouldn't cast a vote for Barr unless he publicly denounced past stances on several issues...like drugs.

I still say every republican out here needs to vote Ron Paul in the remaining primaries to send a shock to McCain and force him to listen to economic reality. But I smell fear in your hearts.....
