The advertisement criticized Barack Obama for being too extreme. Well, he is. It's not just all of his associations that have come to light in recent months. He was described in the National Journal as the most liberal member of the Senate. The main stream media wouldn't hesitate to describe any conservative as extreme. There's no good reason to gratuitously bash the North Carolina GOP. That wasn't enough. He felt compelled to bash the Bush Administration for the response to Katrina, while ignoring the abysmal performances of the Democrat mayor and governor. When push comes to shove in the general election, does Senator McCain expect volunteers to come forward from independents and moderates?
Since he became a prisoner of war decades ago, the Democrat Party has morphed into the local branch of the Socialist International. Within a few months of toppling Saddam's regime in Iraq, the Democrat Party led by its Moveon.org faction, has been openly undermining our efforts in Iraq and trying to portray it as an exercise in imperialism doomed to failure like Vietnam.
All is fair in love and war. We can't have an honest discussion with the left. It's no time to refuse weapons given to the GOP when the only weapons we really have are the opposition's own words. The left has infected all politics with its vile political correctness so much that conservatives can't say anything about domestic politics without being called mean, sexist, racist or homophobic. In foreign affairs, the left is not satisfied unless American interests are sacrificed, and we kowtow to a useless United Nations. Otherwise, they say we are warmongers. That's the state of the supposedly loyal opposition that conservatives are expected by Senator McCain to treat with due deference. Is he nuts? I'm serious.
This year the Democrats were supposed to do well nationwide, but almost all of our ills can be traced back to Democrats or their their half baked economic solutions, global warming foolery and sedition over Iraq. Our economy sucks because of left wing handicaps of printing fiat currency, easy credit, over regulation of industry, entitlement spending, etc. Our economy is going nowhere fast without cheap energy, energy independence, spending discipline and entitlement reform.
Senator McCain will face either Obama or Hillary, each easily described as an extremist from the left. Both are in the pocket of the NEA, and they promise to improve medical care in this country the same way as the left has improved education in this country. Twenty five years later, education is worse.
Senator McCain's medical history is well known. His left jaw looks rather pronounced. His sanity and his temper is often questioned. The American people, not just the GOP before he actually gets the nomination, deserve to know the results of his current medical status, including imaging studies, IMHO.
I wish we could “draft” Fred we only need several million signatures....*LOL*
What an election year.
I’m not going to vote for the SOB.
I agree wholeheartedly. I have a relative who was prescribed 'experimental' level doses of oral prednisone (a steroid) for an infection, but he was required to be examined psychologically, because that drug causes physically- the chipmonk cheeks, and mentally- instability (many symptoms including 'roid rages). I think the country deserves to know if McCain is taking on a regular basis any psychoactive drugs.
Yes-the lesson he learned was to keep his yap shut about amnesty after the election. Then he can tell us bigoted rubes to ef off.
Bama and Hillbilly are so bad that McCain was almost starting to look good...until he he opens his mouth
and I’m reminded that McCain is really a demorat.
How in $*%&$ did he ever become the GOP candidate?
Of course being out of touch with reality, as defined by McCain is:
1. Being Critical of Democrats
2. Not willing to sacrifice any and all principles for the sake of "getting along" with Democrats and "getting things done".
3. Not supporting Amnesty for Illegals or the global warming hysteria
4. Advancing those "outdated" conservative principles of Reagan.
Because no conservative really wanted it.
Let's face it. Fred wanted it handed to him. Mitt thought he was owed. The rest were pretenders.
Political Correctness is nothing but a dangerous meme perhaps the most dangerous one of all as it acts as a control mechanism on political & intellectual expression. I am convinced that if Adolf Hitler were running for public office in toady’s environment: his political opponents would be the ones accused of being “extreme” for simply pointing out the truth about him. Political Correctness has made it so that those who point out the extremism of others are THEMSELVES now called “extreme”. This is a bit like accusing someone of murder for simply detecting a killer.
Every time Clinton and Obama open their mouths, I swear that I will vote for McCain just to make sure they don't have a chance to win the presidency.
Then McCain opens his piehole, and I feel compelled to toss it all away and vote 3rd party because I simply can't stand his arrogance.
Freepers, please help me: Has there ever been a time in this great nation of ours when voters had to choose between such shallow, dangerous, egotistical candidates?
And what did our great nation do?
Bump Phil!
