...to knock McCain down. Buchanan is the latest to pen a scathing critique of McCain. He re-hashes many of the same points raised by Rush, Coulter, etc., but also paints a bleak picture of a strong continued neo-con/nation-building presidency if McCain is elected. In his words, McCain will be "...a war president."

I go back to a point I made earlier: all these attacks on McCain--without concurrent identification of who we should support and why--are doing nothing to help the party. Railing against McCain if you disagree with him is fine, so long as you nominate a more preferable candidate and explain why. Otherwise, you are just being a liberal, complaining about a situation without offering a solution. And, more importantly, if you can't clearly identify someone who is far better than McCain on your issues of importance, then why denigrate him in the first place? I would like to see Buchanan, Rush, Coulter and others at least state who they think is a better choice (or multiple candidates if they believe any of 2 or 3 are better), even if they will not officially endorse anyone.
