As this seemingly endless campaign draws nearer and nearer to its close, members of John McCain's own party are coming out of the woodwork about their disdain of their candidate, John McCain.

They, like me, share the concern that McCain's practices throughout his campaign have been a bad omen for a possible role in the White House.

If we put political parties aside, let's examine McCain's actions over the past twenty months so that you can make a decision about his ability to effectively lead this country.

1) He's a liar. McCain vowed to run a clean campaign, yet, he has managed to pull off the dirtiest campaign that I've ever been aware of. He lies about Obama's policies, character and personal and political ties.

2) He has bad judgment. I could sum up his bad judgment in two words: Sarah Palin. However, his poor judgment exists above and beyond choosing that vile woman as his running mate. McCain voted for, supported and continues to support our place in Iraq. The $10 billion a month pales in comparison to the thousands of US military that have died there as well as the over six hundred thousand Iraqi civilians who have died. In addition, McCain was involved in a Savings and Loan scandal that resulted in his ethics being called into question in the senate.

3) He's a flip-flopper. Although flip-flops remain my shoe ware of choice, I tend to scoff at politicians who claim a stance on an issue, and change it whenever it is no longer a popular choice. I don't know about you, but that's not much of a "maverick".

4) He's a noted hot head. I do not trust an erratic, ill-tempered, elderly man to handle the nation's most serious crises that involve insight, patience and open-mindedness.

5) He's not the brightest bulb. McCain, just hours before the stock markets dropped, told his followers that our “economy is strong". He lacks the intelligence and insight that would have prevented this situation. He's for deregulation without any regard for how that can, and did, negatively affect us.

6) He doesn't care. He doesn't care about you, me or the rest of America. He cares about giving huge tax breaks to big corporations. He doesn't care that throughout this election, he's sold his soul to the devil, or the GOP anyway. Most of all, he cares about winning and will do anything to do just that.

Do you want a dim, erratic, lying, flip-flopping man with poor judgment and lack of care for all Americans to run this nation?

Think about it.
