Name One Good Reason To Vote For McCain!

If you are pro-life, while not perfect, he represents your point of view WAY better than Barack Obama.

Flux: Amen to that.

If you want to continue to keep Cuba at arm's length, go McCain.

If you think that people should be able to own a semi-auto, McCain is your guy. Also, if you think that gun manufacturers should not be open to civil suit from crime victims, go McCain.

Why is it that McCain and his more rabid brethren are only interested in life in utero and only up to point that the baby is born? Why is it that they don't give a shit about the life of that baby once it is born and needing food, education, housing, employment, AND health insurance?

And, why would any woman ever vote for McCain??????

If you want to start a third war in the middle east, this time with Iran.

If you want the supreme court to have a conservative majority for the next 40-60 years.

Regular red meat voters will be thinking of that picture constantly on CNN of the reactor in Missouri threatened by the Mississippi River flooding, and the story of the tornado in Kansas that struck a building housing a reactor, and who wonder what the hell will happen to them should there be a nu-clar accident.

And as the NY Times reported, “Wall Street won’t invest in these plants because they are too expensive and unreliable, so Senator McCain wants to shower the nuclear industry with billions of dollars of taxpayer handouts,” said Daniel J. Weiss, who heads the global warming program at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal research group."

And McCain's chief "spokesperson" on this policy is retired Marine Corps Gen. James Jones, a former NATO commander who is now chief executive officer of the U.S. Chamber Institute for 21st Century Energy. He also is on the board of Chevron.

See, that's where I thought the political shrewdness came in -- McCain's tying the two together may be the thing that makes the red-meat voter, to borrow your term, reconsider nuclear energy. The mounting unease about high oil prices makes people want to do SOMETHING, and McCain's offering an alternative right when people are really starting to get uneasy may make them cling to that because it sounds like a solution, and only after the fact will they realize that "...wait, but this doesn't have anything to do with gas prices. DAMN!'

McCouBorg.

for this gook he is the devil.


i can't vote consciously for someone that hates gooks as he puts it.

In an era of rising protectionist sentiment, McCain has continued to be staunchly pro-trade. Obama, in his initial embrace of centrism, also was open to trade at first, but in his desperation to pander to the Hillary blue collar white male Dems, many of whom openly admitted in exit polls that race dissuaded them from voting for him, he sunk to their level in what was probably his weakest moment of the campaign. Leadership is sometimes about standing up for what's right even when the fickle masses turn wrong, and on this one issue McCain deserves credit.

Also: he has a strong record on being a deficit hawk (although his current plan is horrific), he has a moderate record on issues of the environment and immigration, he again showed willingness to buck popular opinion with the "surge", and I know you will all protest but it has been successful by many measures, he's on the right side of the Boeing vs Northrup Grumman & European Aeronautic Defence & Space issue (why are the Dems pandering to Boeing?), he favors school choice (good IMO), once in a while he gets it right on economics (though like Obama this is the exception rather than the rule), and last but not least, even if he has sold out since, I still give him a little credit for saying "We have to rescue the Republican Party from the Religious Right", way back when.

So there are some reasons. Now, unfortunately, may of the above criticisms are also right on target.....

Ah ha - LOL! Tis appropriately devilish for The Great Deceiver


Oh, we were doing so well, having a rather pleasantly stimulating conversation without falling into Photoshop propaganda. Can we get back to doing it that way?

If you support school vouchers, go for McCain.

P.S.

The New York Times and Los Angeles Times lead with Sen. Barack Obama's decision to go back on his pledge and reject public financing for the general election campaign, which will allow him to raise and spend an unlimited amount of money in the battle for the White House. By turning down $84.1 million in federal money, Obama became the first major party candidate to reject public funds since the system was instituted in 1976.
