It is clear that Sen. John McCain is in a tight race in Florida with Gov. Mitt Romney. Both men have substantial support in the state and each is trying desperately to set the tone and principle issue. For Romney it is the economy and for McCain it is national security. Yet, it appears more and more clear that McCain is perhaps taking the national security issue a bit too far. Two days ago, he inaccurately accused Romney of favoring public timetables for troop withdraw, which he does not. Then yesterday, McCain approached the American people with a new campaign promise. Oh, you might ask, what is this American hero and long time legislator going to offer our country? Lower taxes? Better health care? Reduction in our dependency on foreign oil? No, in the words of John McCain, "my friends" the Senator is offering us more wars. More wars?!?!?! That's right, straight from the Senator's mouth, if John McCain is elected president he will give us more wars. Does anyone really think this is a winning political strategy? I never have viewed McCain as a warmonger but I am beginning to question his commitment to peace.
