I can't think of anyone in Washington, D.C., who loves his country more than John McCain. When I think of what he went through as a war prisoner, it seems like this man must have a backbone of steel. Too many in Washington seem to have the spine of a jellyfish and a mouth like an alligator. I reject this idea of raising taxes and redistributing wealth. I reject this idea that some of us have too large a slice of the pie, and the government needs to take it and redistribute it.

What's mine is mine. If I want to give it away, I can. I don't need somebody else taking it and redistributing it.

I sometimes enjoy getting out on the lake in my bass boat. I suppose if this other guy should get elected, they might want to come take my boat, saying, you don't need a boat like this. We'll just take it and give you a canoe to fish with. Just kidding. Just trying to make a point.

Who wins? The one who gets the most votes. We get to decide. Vote.
