Comments on: McCain and the Draft http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3981 Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:14:39 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: steve http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3981&cpage=1#comment-205189 steve Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:03:40 +0000 http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=3981#comment-205189 Clearly, McCain is trying to hang onto the votes of people who want a draft and those who oppose it, by sending mixed signals. If he didn't really mean to say he favored a draft when he agreed to the last words out of that woman's  mouth, then I would have expected him to issue a quick correction saying that he misunderstood her or misspoke or whatever. However, he has not done so. To me, that means he wants it both ways. By the way, if he didn't hear her or just zoomed out on her comments because they were too long, I worry about his ability to concentrate or listen -- two very important qualities that have been missing in the Oval Office for the last 8 years. And I also worry about a guy who wants to be President, but who agrees wholeheartedly with things that he has not taken the trouble to pay attention to.
