Just in case you all forgot (in the carnage that continues to be the Democratic Nomination battle) . . . John McCain is our opponent in the General Election. I am having a little bit of primary fatigue, so I decided to work on a diary that should motivate ALL of us!

I don't know who will be nominated at the Democratic National Convention, but they will have my vote. It is really a simple decision for a life-long Democrat such as myself. I do empathize with Independents & Republicans that have joined our ranks recently, and hold them no ill-will for returning to their original alignment. I understand that not all MyDDers are as loyal to the Democratic Party as others, but for those of you that are on the fence . . . please read John McCain's report card:

Reproductive Freedoms

Agriculture Issues

Civil Rights

Education

Environment

Children's Issues

Darfur

Health Care

Labor Issues

Senior Citizen Issues

Disabled Veterans

Women's Rights

This list is just a sampling to illustrate that John McCain is not a "Moderate Maverick" like he wants you to believe. In fact . . . Senator McCain scored an 84 out of 100 on Conservative Issues, according to the Republican Liberty Caucus. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama can proudly claim that they fought against these Republican policies, as they scored 28 and 25 respectively.

Please consider passing this diary on to your friends on the fence, and I highly recommend that you click on all the issue links above to see just how much better BOTH Democrats are at representing our beliefs compared to McCain.

I guess McCain is used to bad grades, as he graduated 894th out of 899.
