Kuhner: The case for McCain

The Washington Times ^ | July 6, 2008 | Jeffrey T. Kuhner

[FocusNexus]

Sen. John McCain should be the next president of the United States. He is wrong on many issues - global warming, campaign finance-reform and immigration (to name a few). But on the central challenges of our time, he has demonstrated the judgment and courage necessary to be the leader of the Free World. In comparison to his Democratic rival for the White House, Sen. Barack Obama, the Republican maverick is clearly the better man - and the better candidate.

.....

Mr. McCain is the very opposite of Mr. Obama. The Arizona Republican is a battle-hardened war hero, who spent five years being tortured in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp. On the other hand, Mr. Obama is a vacuous, antiwar leftist. He champions appeasement abroad and milk-toast socialism at home. His call for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would snatch military defeat from the jaws of victory. On abortion, he is to the left of many in his own party. Mr. Obama even supports partial-birth abortion. If he cannot honor the sacrifices of our fallen soldiers or defend innocent, vulnerable human life, he is not worthy to lead this great nation.

A contest between Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama is no contest. American voters must reach the same conclusion.

Again, thanks for the motivation !!

Another unintelligent post brought to you from a member of the Party over principle crowd, AKA, the GOP ostriches.

Thier motto is, if it has an R next to it's name, you must vote for it, no matter how much of a RINO or liberal it might be and no matter how much damage it will do to the GOP!

Everyone who stays home in protest, votes third party or write in is putting Barack Hussein Obama in the White House. Every black church and organization, every Muslim mosque and organization in every town and city across this country will get their people to the polls to vote for Obama- even busing them in. You can take that to the bank. We MUST stand behind McCain, spread the word and get out the vote. He is the only thing standing between Obama and the White House._____________________________________________________________ HAVE YOU REALLY INVESTIGATED THIS MONSTER? http://theobamafile.com/

He will not raise taxes, the last thing we should be doing in a weakened economy.

He will reduce government spending, and thereby prevent the state from controlling even more of American life.

However noble their intentions, conservatives who do not vote for John McCain will be morally complicit in what happens to America during an Obama presidency

McCain will pick your pocket over global warming, a known Scam, but you already know that, right?

I will not be morally complicit in aiding a Socialist thief, no matter the capital letter at the end of it's name.  But you can, if that coffee mug is that important to you.

[rabscuttle385]

i shall vote for mccain.

Before or after you get drunk?

[FocusNexus]

“given the choice of a Pres. Obama with Reid & Pelosi running Congress, I’ll take my chances on McCain; the alternative is too horrible to contemplate,”

Exactly.

[rabscuttle385]

Mccain isn’t good enough for you, but Obama is?

No way! But, make no doubt: this is a contest between two Socialists trying to outpander each other. Either way, we get stuck with the bill.

[OKIEDOC]

It looks like some of the radical rabble deadheads from the Obama School of Shuck and Jive err...finesse and charm are showing their love for your comments about John McCain.

I just went to the fridge for a coke and pop more popcorn, keep on keeping on.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Well, if it is any consolation, at least it will get people off their rears again and get them involved in the process.

It reminds me of the pre-Reagan years near the end of Carter’s only term. Conservatives were charged up in those days. WE need to have that again and put the RINOs back in the Zoo where they belong.

Really?

You forgot about his Carbon Cap-and-Trade debacle.

You also forgot about his Health plan that will subsidize states to provide health care for those who cannot affort health care insurance.

You also forgot about his providing Amnesty for the 40 million+ (and more when you include all the family members they will bring with them) poor class illegal aliens and the associated costs that they will burden the US taxpayer with the entitlement costs that they will incur.

Sorry FocusNexus, you don't know what you are talking about on this issue.

[JoJo Gunn]

And if their hero loses it will be all your fault!......

I fervently hope it is.

All these liberal wannabe's want to help a Socialist steal from me the Al Gore way. May the veins in their heads explode come November.

[Big Horn]

Is McCain or has he ever been a muzzie? What are the odds that he would support Islam?

OK..
SO you will not vote ( + obama)
You are anti McCain ( + obama)

Why do I smell Code Pink here ?

However noble their intentions, conservatives who do not vote for John McCain will be morally complicit in what happens to America during an Obama presidency.

And the conservatives who do vote for Mr. McCain will be morally complicit in the resulting amnesty for illegals, the carbon credit Ponzi scheme, and only God knows what else will come out of Mr. McCain's continued collaboration with the Democrats in the House and Senate.

Gawd, how I am coming to adore this AdBlock extension. Works on spammed images too!

“from a member of the Party over principle crowd, AKA, the GOP ostriches.”

Actually we are the “country over personal ego” crowd.

Those who allow Obama to become president are putting personal egos over the need of the country.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

You are right on taxes but you need to rethink this issue. A step toward surrender to socialism, which a vote for the Democrats would be, is a trip down The River of No Return.

[SoConPubbie]

He will ensure that America wins in Iraq.

Given his past history, specifically the following two related actions on his part, how can you be so sure?

6. McCain joins 26 other Republicans to vote with the Majority Party Congressional Democrats to demand U.S. Troops exit Lebanon, winds up on the losing side.
7. McCain co-sponsors an unsuccessful bill to cut off funding of United States troops in Somalia

You have not been paying attention, McCain is a step towards socialism as well, just in slower-motion and smaller increments. Read some of the posts on this thread that discuss his history in detail if you do not believe me.

Here’s a Quarter....
