Taking a HARD look at the Business of Politics

Mr. McCain
Let me preface these comments with the facts that I have been a registered Republican during the majority of the 40 years that I have been voting. I vote in almost all primary, general, and certainly in all presidential elections. I voted for you this year in the NJ Republican primary.
