On Jan. 8, New Hampshire Republicans will make one of the most important choices for their party and nation in the history of our presidential primary. Their choice ought to be John McCain.

We don't agree with him on every issue. We disagree with him strongly on campaign finance reform. What is most compelling about McCain, however, is that his record, his character, and his courage show him to be the most trustworthy, competent, and conservative of all those seeking the nomination. Simply put, McCain can be trusted to make informed decisions based on the best interests of his country, come hell or high water.

Competence, courage, and conviction are enormously important for our next President to possess. No one has a better understanding of U.S. interests and dangers right now than does McCain. He was right on the mistakes made by the Bush administration in prosecuting the Islamic terrorist war in Iraq and he is being proved right on the way forward both there and worldwide.

McCain is pro-life. Always has been. He fights against special-interest and pork-barrel spending, and high spending in general, which ticks off liberals and many in the GOP who have wallowed at the public trough. Yet he also has the proven ability, unique among the contenders, to work across the political divide that has led our government into petty bickering when important problems need to be solved.

Youtube debates

I have heard a trough full of great things about the You tube debate format, how it gives everyone a chance to ask questions ect ect. The fact is that the You tube debate on CNN was a coordinated political maneuver by CNN to show the republican candidates in the most unflattering light. This is very evident in their selection of the first question about sanctuary cities, which sent Guilliani and Romney on a personal dog fight about who was the most protective of illegal immigrants. Each Question showed political bias ,from the irreverent song in the beginning to the planted Clinton operative asking about gays in the military.The worst and most obvious political maneuver was the gay general,a former and current Clinton operative was given license to tout an issue which should be played in the congress and not in the presidential primary. This is just one more example about the dishonesty of the major news networks and their pro democratic slant in the reporting of major news events. I will leave you with this question why has the democratic majority congress
not addressed the gays in the military issue . Answer: it is an election year and it is a very hot topic with independent voters.
