Democracy & Technology Blog John McCain

Hance Haney
April 10, 2008

John McCain, in my opinion, is a free market conservative. Not a pro-business conservative.
There’s big difference.
A pro-business conservative supports anything business wants to do.
A free market conservative favors a free marketplace where consumers rule and where businesses can succeed or fail without government interference.
We need the latter.
Who will John McCain pick as his vice-presidential running mate? My guess is Joseph Lieberman. I don’t know if Lieberman would choose to run on a Republican ticket but I think he would be a perfect choice for VP and could be a perfect VP.
