Rating a Renegade It's discouraging that so many republicans oppose Senator John McCain, because he's just what President George W. Bush promised to be but finally never was - a uniter, not a divider [Feb. 4]. At a time when the nation needs to come together under the unifying leadership of a moderate consensus builder, the neoconservative élites that have come to dominate the Republican Party want confrontation.

We have seen the repercussions the U.S. faces when we do not have someone with military experience in our country's highest elected position. As a Republican, I voted for John Kerry in 2004 based solely on the fact that he had an exemplary military career. Americans cannot dismiss the candidate with the most military experience.
