"While Democrats engaged in race wars, McCain was on site at actual war zones, visiting Iraq and the Middle East this past week as part of a Congressional delegation. Although I am Republican (and still undecided), the only Republican candidate I would vote for over Hillary and Obama is McCain. Instead of celebrating that &amp;amp;quot;moderate&amp;amp;quot; Republicans like me are being brought back into the fold by McCain&amp;#x27;s likely nomination, conservatives continue to decry McCain&amp;#x27;s politics, calling him a flip-flopper, pro-taxes, anti-free speech, and more. Any disagreement I have with McCain is far outweighed by his enormous positives. Imagine having a president who, because he faced torture himself when he served in the military, has now taken a principled, leading stance against the use of it. Imagine a Republican president who can graciously advocate for smaller government. McCain&amp;#x27;s immigration reform plan, allowing citizenship for non-criminal aliens, appeals to me. McCain and his wife even adopted a young girl with special needs from a Muslim country, something even the diverse-minded Obama probably wouldn&amp;#x27;t do, lest he be labeled a Muslim himself. Finally, no other candidate today is more sincerely bi-partisan than McCain. Most of all, I love how right-wingers can&amp;#x27;t stand McCain. After years of my party being commandeered by these hardliners, I enjoy seeing them squirm for a change. McCain, I missed your measured tone while you were gone. What about you? Did you miss McCain? Or did you like having the week off? &amp;amp;#8212;Asma"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
