Huge crowds expected for McCain-Palin event
The East Valley Tribune, Phoenix, Ariz. ^ | 2010-03-23 | Mike Sakal

Posted on 03/23/2010 8:12:27 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Campaign staff and volunteers of Sen. John McCain and his former vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin are preparing for the pair’s appearance at Mesa’s Dobson High School on Saturday.

A spokesman for the camp offered a bit of advice for those wanting to get in: “Folks should get there early,” said Brian Rogers, McCain’s communications director.The event is free, on a first-come, first-served basis and does not require a ticket.

(snip)

Also speaking at a rally in Tucson on Friday, the appearances are McCain and Palin’s first ones together at a public event since their concession speech in the 2008 presidential race.

Their appearance comes just four days after President Barack Obama signed a $938 billion health care reform bill. McCain has been an outspoken critic of the bill and plans to lead an effort to repeal it.

Palin, the former governor of Alaska, is stumping for McCain. She will speak about McCain’s values and what she learned from him during their 2008 presidential campaign and through his battles against his own party line, Rogers said.

McCain will speak about what he appreciates in Palin’s leadership, and speak out against what he believes are misguided priorities in the White House including government overspending, his concerns for the 17 percent unemployment rate in Arizona and the state’s home foreclosure problem as 48 percent of homeowners in Arizona are under water, according to Rogers.

Yeah, I guess if you’re inhumane and don’t have a Christian or compassionate heart for those in totally primitive and helpless 3rd world nations, with dozens of thousands of adults and children .. dying for want of the simplest of remedies, it’s easy to scoff at those who are humane and don’t easily turn their backs on a plague of needless suffering and death, if they can make a difference.

Then why oppose amnesty?

Or any of the Great Society programs that were part of LBJ's "War on Poverty"?

Or Obamacare, for that matter?

Do-gooders like yourself have been trying to "help" those "primitive and helpless [third] world nations" for decades, yet there is still poverty and death and disease.

Furthermore, borrowing on the credit of present future generations of taxpayers in order to give the money away isn't humane or compassionate. It's downright wrong. And, in the case of unborn taxpayers, it's called taxation without representation, something Americans rebelled against over two centuries ago.

It is Christian to give of your own money of your own free will. It is a tyranny to put a gun to my head and take my money to give instead. Honestly, the best thing that could be done for Africa is to STOP giving them money....

This says it well:

“Initially, conservatives howled because the prescription drug initiative “cost too much.””

What do you mean “initially”? We still howl at the Great Society add-on he pushed on us. Do you have ANY IDEA what the Constitution actually says? An $18 trillion unfunded liability on our future to buy votes from the AARP and you think we should respect him for it.

What about Republicans stopped Amensty, socialized healthcare,net neutrality, fairness doctrine for 12 years don’t you get?

What about Democrats will do all of these evil things and more this year don’t you get? agree or not will democrats do these soon? Democrats have already turned over 1/6 of the economy to the government but you bash Republicans. all of you are brainwashed.

you can’t say this one or that one or these 3 wanted this so all Republicans are bad. the fact is Republicans did stop Amnesty and government healthcare and many other evils the Democrats will give us and Republicans did that for 12 years .What about that don’t you get? We were ok in gridlock for 12 years Republicans were in power. No R’s coudln’t repeal any really big government mandatory spending increases the Democrats had created becuase democrats could filibuster as Republicans didn’t have a filibuster proof Senate but we were ok , with the government not exploding as it is now and that we are on our way to becoming a socialist state under Democrats. So enjoy starving you are the cause as you divided conservatives.

Quote:

Federal spending -- especially discretionary spending -- has soared over the past two years, and new programs proposed by the President will make it difficult to check this growth.

and

Spending has increased twice as fast under President Bush as it did under President Clinton.

“Those web site are just wrong or propaganda.”

LOL. They’re the same numbers produced the same way by the same accounting departments as the Bush Administration’s.

“which your dumb charts and graphs don’t account for population growth and are fake.”

So, I guess “math is hard” is what your Barbie doll told you and you agreed.....

“show the number of government workers increasing if Bush did grow government.go ahead why can’t you? cause you are lying.”

The number of government workers is NOT the metric involved.

You can post all your anti-Republican, liberatarian, liberal or sites just looking for attention you want that still doesn’t make it true.

If Bush had grown the government then the number of federal government workers would have grown in relation to population. If they didn’t which they didn’t then Bush nor Republicans didn’t grow the government, and especially not as you anti Republicans say “More than any president before” blah blah blah and similar lies.

You can’t show the number of government workers increasing during Bush’s term so you prove yourself to be slanderers of Republicans.

Why you haveen’t been banned from this site I don’t know .

But i blame you anti-Gop people for diving conservatives and so putting us in the mess we are in where Democrats have so much power they are putting the U.S. on the fast track to socialism.

I hope you are happy for destroying the most wonderful society , a once Free America. and you do it why cause you are brainwashed Marxists that’s why.

There’s too many others who worship the Divine Ms. Sarah and are more irritating than Obama and his bots. Honest political discussion can never happen when one side refuses to listen and raises their candidate to the level of messianic proportions.

6.R's and Bush Took war to Islam, the Bush doctrine.

"Saying that all of Islam is responsible for the events of September 11 is just as absurd as saying that all of Christianity is responsible for the actions of the members of Westboro Baptist Church."

Comparing the 1400 year global war of enslavement that Islam has fought against the world at the instruction of the very heart of it's religious teaching, and it's success in that bloody goal to date, to the 78 family members of that little cult in Topeka, Kansas is truly the stupidest thing that I have seen expressed here, ever.
