I don't believe that a war hero who spent five years in a POW camp would have shaken hands with dictators and tyrants or bowed to a Saudi king. I don't believe he would have dissed our British allies with DVD collections, nor do I believe he would be crapping all over Israel right now. I don't believe his plans for energy included anything like the cap and tax, so he wouldn't have allowed any such thing to pass his desk. I KNOW he wouldn't have repealed the legislation that alloww taxpayer funds to pay for abortions abroad. I think he would have tried to veto porkulus because of all the earmarks, which he demonstrated he never supported as a Senator. I don't believe the Congress would even be trying to do all the power grabbing legislation they've been doing if they knew it had to pass muster with McCain. I don't like his stance on amnesty, but in case you haven't noticed, we haven't even gotten to that yet. So that is moot point. My question is, would McCain have done everything Obama has done thus far in six/seven months? I can answer that unequivocally, NO!
And to your argument that they would have blamed Republicans, blah, blah, blah. Once legislation is codified, it's a lot harder to get rid of. I think the damage done to our children and grandchildren in the way of excessive spending and the out of control money-printing in the last six months is far worse than the single TARP bailout that McCain supported last fall.
Tempest in a tea cup, who cares? Non of the above means squat to me.
" I don't believe his plans for energy included anything like the cap and tax, so he wouldn't have allowed any such thing to pass his desk."
Oh really? McCain in New Hampshire ....
"CONCORD, N.H. -- In his final push for a primary victory, Senator John McCain arrived here this afternoon and made a pitch that might have surprised voters: He cast himself as the environmentalist of the presidential campaign.
"I will clean up the planet," McCain said. "I will make global warming a priority."
There is a lot more on McCain and global warming. McCain has a long history of promoting Democrat policies and since Global Warming was a top priority for him I's say chances were excellent that had he won something like cap n trade with and R label would have been produced in a McCain administration.
I think he would have tried to veto porkulus
Once again the facts are against you. McCain suspended his campaign to rush back to D.C. and pass porkulus_1. So there is no reason to think that as president he would oppose a porkulus_2 that all the finance guys (spit) were saying was needed to save the economy.
And to your argument that they would have blamed Republicans, blah, blah, blah.
Well when your opponent is reduced to blah, blah, blah as an argument you know you've won. lol.
