In the interests of having a rational discussion and attempting to soberly define where McCains stands on the issues and whether or not there is a "difference" between him and his opponents, I will post one new McCain issue standpoint a day.
To those "one issue" voters, please don't muck up these threads by bringing up the other issues not being discussed this day, you're chance will come.
...I'm depressed.
1.) Whom, specifically, do you suppose will be paying for the health care McCain's beloved additional 30-to-40 million additional illegals are (inevitably) going to need?
2.) From where, specifically, do you suppose that money will logically be coming? Will the marvelous magical Money Fairy be providing, in this instance... or: will McCain ultimately need to tap some other source, instead?
Oh, man, I left out “amnesty loving”. Somebody shoot me.
An easy enough mistake to make. It's quite the list, isn't it...? ;)
I’d get an account over on DU if I was you. Post your professorial McCain stuff over there. That’s where McCain thinks all the votes are. He hates our 25 percent of the party.
Ya, I’ll do that right away.
About par for the course for intellectualism FR these days. Let's grab a pitchfork and light the torch!
Even for a McCain supporter, that's fairly brazen dishonesty. Are you seriously contending that the questions in #3 are NOT health care-related ones?
Hey, I'm voting for the A-hole. What more do you want?
The question remains: how is he going to pay for it?
Thx.
More prayer...it will calm me down.
Seriously, I'm just glad to see we still have Freepers from pre-2k on the board. We've lost too many good people over others venting their frustrations.
Are you sure you didn't help coordinate McCain's primary victory? Just making sure...LOL!
Cheers, I'm just funnin'...I wish the others were.
I missed the part where McCain discusses how he is going to give “free” health care insurance to the nation’s bums, losers, and parasites (the Democrat “base”). Can I surmise it will be the old-fashioned way, by confiscating it from the nation’s taxpaying, traditional American families (the Republican “base”)?
Also, did McCain mention how the illegal hordes fit into his plan?
If he did, I missed it.
They need to get a handle on how politics works in the USA.
The vast US electorate is madeup of various voting blocs. Everybody has a chance to show their stuff.
Politicians take positions (1) which he believes in, and, (2) which will earn him the most votes.
Voters make the judgement at the polls.
It's easy to figure out: vote-starved candidates are at the mercy of the voters.
Waste of time. McCain buried himself here the other day with his Soviet-style "cap and trade/industry takeover" plan.
I'll vote Libertarian before I ever vote for that creep, and if Obama wins, so be it. At least the GOP will then be forced to take account of itself and come running back to its Conservative base for 2012.
Here's a way to get an answer (/sarc).
(1) Go to the next McCain campaign stop. (2) Ask McCain his position on amnesty, illegals, or reconquista. (3) When you are ejected for asking the question (as is the McCain practice), you will get a clue.
Another way to get a clue: Watch McCain pucker up, get on his knees, and suck up to illegals like a dry drunk with his mouth glued to a beer keg.
I’m honestly curious as to why its impossible to have insurance companies providing some competitive affordable health insurance that is purchased much the same way as we do Automobile, Home, Life Insurance. Is it simply insanely complex liability issues? Why is this not even an option at all? Is there some crossing state lines issues?
Just trying to be on topic here...
Thank you for the post.
You can't seem to force conservatives to back a man that is more a Democrat than a Reagan conservative. Why the McCain crowd invites scorn by dissing Reagan constantly in order to make Juan look more palpable.
You should of seen the anger and scorn around here last year when Juan and his buddy Fat Ted tried to sneak through their amnesty bill. Juan, as usual was full of self righteous indignation about how he knows better than anyone else. We all knew it was about cheap labor for the Chambers of Commerce, and getting the taxpayers to pay for the benefits, so business could profit at the expense of our sovereignty and culture.
We don't forget things like that.
I am proud of the strong anti-McCain movement here, there was also a strong anti-Rudy movement. Nothing personal on them, but this is a forum for grass roots conservatism. Neither one of those liberals fit the bill.
The “good” FReepers you talk about flamed out on the bug zapper thread because they embraced the liberal GOP and were rude to conservatives.
One thing I can say that might help you. Listen up. There were quite a few around here that were going to vote for McCain even though they couldn't stand him. They now are not going to. It wasn't by FReepers against McCain that made them change their minds to not vote for him.
Every time McCain opens his mouth for another speech embracing liberal or socialist policies, he loses more and more people who were thinking about voting for him out of fear. HE ALONE is responsible for alienating more and more voters. Speaking about Gorebal warming, addressing LaRaza, geez. it doesn't get much worse than that.
Believe me Bob, we all know what to expect from McCain and we are going to take part in it.
Worthy of a standing ovation! ;) Bravo!
