DEBATE: WOULD JOHN MCCAIN MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT?
WOULD JOHN MCCAIN MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT?
John McCain has the right personality and mind-frame to help out the U.S.A with its many woes
John McCain was an experienced member of the Navy for 22 years, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. His story of his time as POW in Vietnam is truly inspiring. After being a prisoner for a certain period of time, he was offered to be released, but he refused saying that the only condition that he would leave was if the rest of his troops left with him. So in consequence, he remained a POW for a much longer time than he was to supposed to, being tortured and maltreated in the process. This in my opinion shows that McCain is an individual who puts others first before himself, even when it effects his health and well-being. This is an attribute that is essential for a presedential candidate who if elected, would have to deal with many woes that the U.S.A is facing. In a time of war, McCain brings experience to the table since he is a long serving navy member who understands how these situations work. His maverick-like personality will help him out in making key decisions that he thinks is right, which in my opinion would also be right for America. Unlike Obama, who was changed his opinion on important issues time and time again, McCain will put his foot down and do what is right for the nation.

McCain lacks a strong domestic vision
While McCain has been a successful senator, engineering bipartisan legislation on campaign finance, he has lacked a cohesive domestic message for the United States. During the 2008 Republican Primaries he confessed to knowing little about economics and has presented himself as a foreign policy expert. Given the worsening American economic situation – the collapse of the investment bank, Bear Stearns, the mortgage crisis and problems at the government backed mortgage houses, Fannie May and Fannie Mac – the next US President will be expected to provide a steady hand for the US economy; something that McCain himself cannot bring.

McCain’s maverick Republicanism makes him as much of a "change" candidate as Barack Obama
McCain cannot be viewed as a Republican in the mould of George Bush. As both a Senator and Presidential candidate he has alienated his own party. After his defeat of Governor Romney in the Primaries, Robert Bennett, a Republican Senatorial colleague, noted the continuing opposition to McCain within the Republican party. During 2007 he sponsored the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that was vehemently opposed by members of the Republican party. While a four-term senator, he has consistently shown a willingness to oppose his own party, particularly over "earmarking" of funds for legislators’ home districts. His position on the political spectrum was considered loose enough for him to be proposed a potential Vice-President for John Kerry in 2004. As such, he offers an alternative to the three previous Presidencies which were firmly anchored in either party.
