NRO Editorial: Big Mistake (McCain)

National Review ^ | May 13, 2008 | The Editors

[peyton randolph]

The only possible reasons to vote for McCain are the judiciary and the military...other than that, he’s an absolute waste. Bush is a RINO temporarily hidden by a Texas drawl. McCain is a RINO with no disguise.

[RC2]

Too many people.....too much water being used. The answer? Should be obvious.

[freedomfiter2]

It puts us in the worst possible negotiating position, and confirms that Sen. McCain is not engaging practically with the costs and benefits of his own policy.

No, it confirms that McCain is getting secret policy briefings from Kucinich and that he is not one wit more qualified to be President than comrad Obama.

[Truth29]

McCain is working hard at throwing the election to whichever official Dem makes it to the finish line.

[CRBDeuce]

Yep, he’s spouting the (now) several years old gorebull warming crap, that is being superceded by the ‘return to the little Ice Age’ probabilities...that have induced even the Gorebull Cult to use ‘climate change’ rather than global warming in their spews.

[tobyhill]

McLame is an idiot that I can't possibly bring myself to vote for him. None of the 3 morons running for office has even offered the cure, drill domestically and expand refining capacity.
I have never been as disgusted with American policy before as I am right now.
Global Warming is a bunch of crap.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Some choice we have in November, eh ?

[roses of sharon]

Did McCain mention at what temp he preferred the earth to remain?

[Ranger Drew]

...and the dumba$$ express rolls on. ...this jackass will have to take my vote out of my cold, dead hands.

[steelyourfaith]

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[ZGuy]

Bigger question --

Is this evidence that as President, McCain will only surround himself with yes-men? Or will he surround himself with people who can give real input into his areas of weakness? If he accepts AGW, is it because he has shut off input from those who don't agree with what he already thinks?

[San Jacinto]

It indicates a foolish willingness to sacrifice trillions of dollars on the altar of fashionable, though uniformed, opinion and political expediency.

That sums up John McCain

his Democratic opponent will always be willing to one-up him. Sen. Clinton’s reaction to his speech (literally before it was even delivered) was: “Senator McCain’s proposal simply does not go far enough…”

That sums up the dims

We are screwed

[Lakeshark]

If he keeps doing this kind of stuff, he's likely to find a third party conservative running against him. And I don't mean Ron Paul of Bob Barr.

Every time I think I might vote for him because of the HillObama axis, he does something to make me not to want to vote for the very first time.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

This is posturing in the place of thought.

McCain knows how to reach his true support base. ;)

[Jacquerie]

. . . by 2014 something like 1 million people would lose their jobs . . .

I meet few greenies. When I do, I ask if they are willing to lose their employment for the sake of saving the earth. The usual response is a stutter followed by a rant on President Bush.

[tobyhill]

Never in my life will I vote for such a moron! He almost had me until he went to his eco-crap! I don't even give a crap if there is global warming, we need oil and refining and we need it now.

[Owen]

None of this matters. Only oil matters for the next 40 years and only McCain won’t cut and run in Iraq.

Add to that the really compelling reason for all of FR to step up and oppose Obama in the only effective way to deny him power — the staff. The administration.

A McCain Administration will be staffed from the GOP. Obama will staff with the explicit, overt leftists from DU and Kos.

That is why you vote. And you vote in the only possible way to deny Obama power.

[mek1959]

My gosh, this guy is a disaster. And with huckabee in the wings as a VP, get ready president Obama. What a mess.

[Pattie]

PLEASE from your lips to God’s ear! We need a conservative 3rd party candidate. Heck, I will even take Romney!!!!
