You misread what I said and assumed I was talking about something I wasnt, and now you're embarrassed and are for some reason becoming increasingly antagonistic, or is it that diplomatic?

I'm hardly embarrassed--more like amused and puzzled why you think I'm antogonistic for daring to not let your assertions go unchallenged. If I misread your original statement, you perpetuated the misunderstanding with more absurd (distracted) assertions like these...

I am basing my decision on my thoughts about our involvement in the Middle East, how it is affecting us and them and my feeling about what I think is going to happen to this country if we have another confrontational leader.

It's bizarre how so many people think that John McCain--due to his supposed Maverick status that has nothing to do with his foreign policy- would be anything other than a more violent version of Bush.

What has McCain said or done that would give me the impression he has patience for diplomacy in the Middle East, or wants to lead us in that direction? He's pretty intent on giving the opposite impression. Don't you think so? Isn't that one of the things you and the rest of his supporters like about him?

...which paint a consistent theme that McCain does not have the patience for diplomacy, but are not as consistent with evidence to support those opinions.

It's clear that you are unaccustomed to being held accountable for your positions; I am not. It's what I do for a living and my positions are challenged constantly. I come here to sharpen those skills. It's not antagonistic and not personal.

So if you are bored and want to move on, that's okay with me. But don't expect me to let positions with which I disagree to go unchallenged--especially if you provide no supporting evidence. I'm not being antagonistic (as you suggest), just doing due diligence on behalf of conservatives everywhere.
