Ron - McCain was wrong about illegal immigration. The solution to that problem lies in the countries from which the immigrants come. Turning the US into a third world country will not help them or anyone else. He was wrong about campaign finance reform. What we have now is a situation where anyone who inherits, steals, or marries into enought money can simply buy any public office he or she wants. The solution is the public financing of campaigns. McCain is a long way from that--though Feingold might got for it, if he could just get around the Senator from Arizona. I don't know where he is on global warming, but my guess is he's into whatever generates corporate profits. If he's into using food stocks--animal or human--to generate energy, he's in the wrong camp there. We'll see. He's out in space when it comes to economic issues. He was against Bush's tax cuts before he was for them, and the tax cuts are what has gotten us into the financial cesspool we are in now.
So where is the slander?
Also, I think you might want to review your use of the catch-all phrase--conspiracy theory. It might work for the mindless church goers who listen to Rush Limbaugh, but I don't think it will play here unless there is both a conspiracy and a theory.
