McNutt is second to McRudy in the anti-conservative category.
Perhaps, sir, John McCain is indeed a nut.
But anyone who goes through five and a half years in the Hanoi Hilton, about two years of this in solitary confinement, in the service of this nation damn well deserves to be referred to by his rightful name - John McCain.
He’s a turncoat RINO who deserves zero respect and absolutely no consideration as a presidential nominee whatsoever. Benedict Arnold was a war hero too before he turned coat.
If you have all the answers then why were you fooled into supporting Rudy? With McCain being firmly to the right of Rudy I don’t see what ground you stand on when you get in mine or anyone else’s face.
“Globalists for McCain!”
Lay out your credentials.
Well said, FRiend. I don’t see it either.
John McCain is standard GOP POTUS material. Middle of the road conservative, foreign policy credentialed, pro-life, pro-military, traditional values supporter, service veteran. It’s not some mystery. If you don’t like McCain for this or that reason, fine. But he falls squarely in line with the candidates the GOP has been nominating (and the country has largely been electing) POTUS for the last couple decades.
Because at the time there were only 3 well-known candidates in the race and I was taken in by Rudy's executive experience in NYC and hoping he'd take a federalist view on social issues.
I have nothing against McCain's military service or whatever really happened when he was in 'Nam, I don't even discuss it. Treasonous in this context is his legendary stabbing in the back of conservatives just to get on the Sunday talk shows. I don't care about his ACU rating, he is a moderate Senator along the lines of Specter, Collins, etc. He's a loser, plain and simple.
Ditto.
Besides, last I heard he thought Christians were agents of intolerance and conservatives were bigots. Certainly he wouldn’t want this bigoted intolerant agent out stumping for him.
For all the hell you give me and anyone else about their candidates, according to your own holy standards it seems you are the one most lacking in judgment. You chose Rudy. I didn’t.
The difference is I base my choice for the nominee on facts - consistent conservative positions, credentials, ACU rating, etc. - and you base your choice on feelings - i.e. hoping Rudy would be federalist; discounting McCain on “backstabbing” (your interpretation) and any other fickle observation such as McCain not kissing some group or other’s rear end.
Comparing McCain’s record to Specter and Collins is a real hoot and is a sure sign your opinion is ruled by emotions.
These are some of McCain’s latest ratings from some famous interest groups: U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 100%; Gun Owners of America, 100%; Citizens Against Government Waste, 91%; Americans for Tax Reform, 80%; Americans for Democratic Action, 15%; NAACP, 7%; AFL-CIO, 6%; NEA, 0%; and Planned Parenthood, 0%. Too many conservatives disagree with McCain about two or three issues and decide that he’s moderate, without researching his views about many issues. I disagree with him about immigration and campaign finance reform, and I’ll vote for Huckabee, in the primary. However, these facts prove that McCain is conservative.
