I've been waiting eight years for Senator McCain to run again! How did I lose my heart to him? Simple. He's the champion of anyone who has ever sought to be free. I know. I've been there: my parents and I arrived from Cuba in 1960, as political refugees. They knew what was coming--what had arrived in Cuba--in the form of Fidel Castro, Che, and their followers: they'd been pursued by the Bolsheviks while they were students in Paris during the 1930's. They didn't want for their little girl--me--to grow up in the midst of political repression. And so, one day, my father came home and said, "We're leaving tomorrow." Sure enough: the next day, my mother and I left on one plane; and my father, on the other. We flew to Miami, with one large suitcase...and five US dollars in my father's pocket. John McCain suffered in the "Hanoi Hilton" so that others wouldn't. His time has come--let's make John McCain the next President of the United States!

John McCain is a true American hero. And he is a man of common decency and common sense, one of America's best, a man of Honor. He has given his life to the service of America.  
 
John McCain was the true architect of the winning strategy for Iraq, and pressed for it despite criticism and political peril. He has put principle over his own interests -- from refusing to be released as a prisoner of war before others who had been imprisoned longer by the North Vietnamese to insisting on a counter-insurgency strategy in Iraq.  
 
I commissioned this site to let Americans -- and people of honor all over the world give voice to why John McCain truly deserves to be the president of the United States and why America will be lucky to have someone with such dignity to serve as our next president.  
 
So ... please post your thoughts on why you lost your heart to John McCain.

When McCain ran in 2000, he actually gave me hope for the USA. Since then, he has convinced me that we need to find a new direction for the party. He is the Harrison Ford of the Republican Party.

I love Senator John McCain because he reminds me of my Father. He is the most honerable and straightforward man that there has ever been that has run for president since Ronald Reagan. I love everything that Senator McCain stands for and that is why I work so hard to support him. I go to school with a Stacy Marrero georgina are you any relation? The reason I ask you and she are the only two people I have ever met with that last name.

Thanks so much for your support of Senator John McCain. I'll do my best to visit your blog frequently. Kyle Smith of the New York Post has written a superb column you'll want to see. It's titled "The Republicans Circular Firing Squad and the Ralph Nader of the Right [Rush Limbaugh]." You can find it at http://kylesmithonline.com. I write a daily column, usually about the presidential race. Today's column is: "Iraq: Is it Hillary's War?" Tomorrow's column will be: "Barack Obama: King of Bombast." You can find these columns at: http://camp2008victorya.blogspot.com. Comments are always welcome (and I've been getting many!)

I'm actually a Democrat but figured Hillary to be to divisive for our country. And Obama looked great at first, then I realized that he was very liberal and not the centrist he purported to be. 
 
What really got my attention was McCain's stance on the war. I wanted our troops out but when I listened to him speak about the issue and display the courage that he did he won me over.  
 
I think his courage is one of his most admirable qualities. He's taken some tough stances on some tough issues, but that, in my opinion, is what defines a great leader. He not only talks the talk but walks the walk. 
 
Leave me some love @ blueandnew.blogspot.com

Being a social conservative, fiscal conservative and a national security conservative, I have found that only the Republican party affords conservatives the opportunity to be all three while even expressing themselves. Also there is room for those who have libertarian leanings. As Editor of the ARRA News Service http://arkansasgopwing.blogspot.com/, I began this campaign primary season as a Fred Thompson supporter who then transitioned to a Mitt Romney supporter. However, I remained in active communication with the supporters of all the other campaigns including Brad Marston and Dr. Stephen Maloney who supported John McCain. I admired their work and commitment to their candidate and was surprised by the advance of the "straight talk express" as Sen. McCain overcame being behind in the polls to become the presumptive presidential candidate for the GOP. It has been easy transition to become committed as John McCain supporter because "I vote the elephant." Do I love, John McCain - no - because love in politics is fleeting. But, I am committed - to victory for John McCain. Commitment last longer to love because it requires the commitment of efforts and resources and the need to work things out. The beauty of commitment is that John McCain and I do not have to agree on everything. We just agree to each remain committed to the principles that brought us together - the Principles of the Republican Party. Sen. John McCain for President 2008.
