i have not been able to understand the dislike of mccain among some freepers. no hes not a christian conservative but he is a consistent conservative.

No one has given me a good reason to dislike him. All i hear are innuendo and made up stuff like the poster i replied to.

Any takers. I already mentioned that he breaks with us on global warming and amnesty for illegals. Is there anything else?

"i have not been able to understand the dislike of mccain among some freepers. no hes not a christian conservative but he is a consistent conservative."

Do you have your head in a pillow sack? Go find out what CFR and Gang of 14 mean and check back then.

1) Amensty for illegals.
2) Campaign finance reform is a codified assault on freedom of speech.
3) He has stated that it is foolish for a voter to base their vote on the pro-life issue, then claims to be pro-life. If you believe a baby is a human being and killing them is wrong, it is not foolish to vote anti-murder. But if you are a pro-life legislator who claims to vote your convictions, then you say that your pro-life opinions may not influence your vote, you are promising that you are are anti-murder but won't necessarily vote against it.
4) He twitches all the time.
5) He will allow human embryo research
And I'm sick of writing. Could write you pages.

[...he is a consistent conservative. No one has given me a good reason to dislike him.]

McCain is not a conservative.

He twice sabotaged efforts to get strict-constructionist judges even brought to a vote on the floor.

He lobbied against flatter tax rates and other fiscally conservative policies.

He has repeatedly supported ever increasing and more intrusive government regulation of businesses, large and small.

He joined the Democrats in severely limiting necessary and legitimate powers our military needs to gather foreign intelligence and use it to defeat militant Jihadists.

He accused members of our military, individually and collectively, of committing atrocities and war crimes when there was no evidence that such actions occurred and has not retracted any of his statements even after evidence has shown otherwise.

He was the main author and lobbyist for CFR, which is a gross infringement on freedom of speech, and which, for all practical purposes, makes it illegal for individual citizens to join together and pool their resources to more effectively criticize politicians or advocate for or against public policy.

Why would I vote for a candidate like that? Because he has an "R" by his name?

Hardly.

Ok. Here's one. McCain-Feingold. Who are John McCain or Russ Feingold to tell you you cannot pay for ads for the candidate of your choice less than 60 days before an election?

McCain is an arrogant authoritarian of the first order. I do not want him near a position of real power.

Ever.

CFR

THE GANG OF 14

He spilled his guts, the minute that the Cong found him and he has a group of fellow Hanoi Hilton "guests", who have stuff on him, that will make the SWIFTEES look like a pack of girl scout cookie sellers.

He has ignored POWS, their families and made "friends" with the government of Nam.

He left his first wife, who stayed true to him, all through his captivity and nursed him back, once he was home, for a younger, wealthier version, whose father was MOBBED UP.

If you want more facts, the have been posted all over FR,for many years and are still being posted, to this day. Just enter McCain in FR's search engine and read your eyes out.
