As much as I’m not really pleased with McCain, at least he’s not a Marxist, like the Democratic Socialists running against him.
Nah - McCain’s merely a hard-core socialist.
Hard core socialist? Really?
Noooo.
A disappointment to Conservatives many times? Yea.
But how many hardcore socialist have argued against spending like John McCain?
How many would support the troops the way McCain does?
How many would vote so consistently against abortion?
There are plenty of things to like about John. I'm not discounting what's wrong with him but there's plenty to like about him.
McCain/Liebermann ‘08
Do you realize how foolish it sounds to pretend McCain is a conservative?
McCain Feingold - socialism in the first degree.
McCain’s embracing of AlGore Warming - global socialism of the first degree.
If elected, John McCain would likely also be a strong Commander in Chief, but if the past is any indication of future performance, a McCain presidency could prove catastrophic to domestic-policy issues.
His recent pronouncements on immigration that are favorable to conservatives will only be worth a listen IF he holds fast to them and doesn’t jettison them for some elitist view point later.
He isn’t Satan - but he is a socialist. His support of the troops not withstanding. His public posturing against some excess spending is laudable - but what has been his lengthy track record in the Senate?
We have 3 senators in the running. Check out the crappy record senators have in the White House. It’s not encouraging.
What a pantload of bulloney. I take it you are on Obama’s campaign team. That’s the only reason anyone would post what you did. Ridiculous.
McCain thinks man can control the weather. nuff said.
Oh, and he’s for amnesty.
Screw McCain
You go right on trying to read the mind of another person. I’ll stick to reading the US Constitution and voting records of politicians.
Find something else to stick in your own pants. Fling that refuse called Obama at somebody else.
You come across sooo articulate.
If you’re satisfied with a re-run of Gerald Ford, be my guest. I love the country more than I do the GOP. There are far too many RINOs in Congress that would merrily go along with McCain’s socialist ideas because they’re all in the GOP. These same RINOs would oppose much of the same type of socialism proposed by a donkey in the White House.
The GOP kept Bob Packwood and Lowell Wiecker in the senate and with power, for decades! Without a strong leader who reveres the Constitution more than the GOP, the GOP will continue the slide into the democRAT party.
Here’s my montage of all this election hooplah: http://brogdensmuse.menofhonorministry.org/Politics/DemocRATS.htm
I’ll not vote before I vote for McCain. Unless he has a credible “Damascus Road” experience. Pat Paulson would be above McCain on my list.
According to that map, McCain needs only win Ohio and one other state to have the required 270 electoral votes. I guess we know what his electoral strategy is.
Yuo are copping out.
There will be two candidates. A vote for a third party or a no vote is a rationalization and cop out.
The GOP copped out and put this dud on the ticket. Not gonna get my vote.
Your claim McCain is some kind of hard line socialist is absurd. Why don’t you simply own up to the fact you are an Obama plant?
I never made out like he is a solid conservative. My arguement is that it’s foolish to call John McCain a socialist and rediculous to call him a hardcore socialist.
John has a lifetime ACU rating of 83. That is far from a socialist.
He isn’t running against you. The race is between John McCain and Barak Obama. I’ll support John McCain.
My opinion is that every conservative who protest votes or fails to vote is casting at least a half a vote for Barak Obama.
Hey, don’t vote for him! I agree with what you are saying, but McCain is running against a Marxist. I too love the country more than the GOP, but we can’t afford to take a chance on Obama tilting the Supreme Court so far to the left we won’t be able to fix it even if another Reagan comes along. Hillary would even be preferable to Obama. And yes, I know there’s no guarantee McCain will appoint constructionist judges either.
However, Obama would do more damage with those arenas that are entirely under the Executive purview, such as treaties, SCOTUS appointments, etc. In my eyes, we're being asked to decide how we're going to get damaged.... via hyper-liberal legislative acts supported by McCain, or by hyper-liberal Executive acts by Obama that a vocal conservative minority in Congress cannot oppose.
Either way, it's far better than allowing Hillary to take the throne. McCain is merely stupid and self-absorbed (an angry old fart looking to make a mark, ANY mark), and Obama is a naive idealist with racist roots (a newbie with a bad education)... but Hillary is a power-mad zealot who cannot stand opposition (an evil witch hell-bent on imposing her ideas). Her rule would be worst for everyone, including those outside of the US.

He is already moving to the right on a number of issues.
The idea that John McCain is going to preside over the passage of more liberal legislation than Obama doesn't wash either. With a Dem president and two Dem houses of congress, all hell is going to be pushed through.
Barak Obama is not going to be the second coming of do nothing Jimmy carter. He is going to be the second coming of the monster Lyndon B. Johnson. All the destructive social policies hoisted on us by LBJ are going to be strengthened, magnified and even further institutionalized by a Barak Obama presidency.
That's just how I see it.
