The Real McCain

McCain: "Clean Government" More Important Than 1st Amendment [video]

Transcribed:

McCain: "He also mentioned about my abridgment of First Amendment Rights, i.e., talking about Campaign Finance Reform. My response to that criticism is I work in Washington and I know that money corrupts and I and a lot of other people were trying to stop that corruption and obviously from what we’ve been seeing lately we didn’t complete the job. But...I would rather have a clean government than one whose quote First Amendment Rights are being respected that has become corrupt....if I had my choice I would rather have a clean government......[chuckle]"

Bill of Rights * Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I don't see how McCain can call himself an American!

press release from the Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS) back in January of 2005 hailing McCain for his support of the ICC. While McCain was quoted as saying about the ICC, “I’m not satisfied that there are enough safeguards” for U.S. citizens, the CGS said that “his declaration at the World Economic Forum was the strongest indication to date that he would be in favor of the United States joining the ICC in the near future.”

America must either remain a constitutional republic or submit to international law because it cannot do both.’”

“Unlike the rest of the Republican field,” reporter Bob Egelko said, “Sen. John McCain has said he would like to see the United States join the international court, although he would first require more protections for U.S. personnel.” The ICC would strip Americans of Bill of Rights protections if they were apprehended and put on trial for alleged international crimes. The article did not explain how McCain would change the institution, which is now in existence, in order to require those protections. Most of the rest of the world, led by the European Union, rejected any safeguards for U.S. citizens.

Senator John McCain, who is on record in support of U.S. participation in the U.N.’s notorious International Criminal Court (ICC).

Is that your position too?

[HChampagne]

What bilge! Yes, he has a few ideas. But look at his actions. I honestly do not think that McCain is all there. If it is between him and Hil, I will vote for Hil. Not a threat, just a promise.

[Jabba the Nutt]

This guy makes a great case for making McCain Secretary of Defense, otherwise he’s a bitter, angry old man. McCain believes that anyone, who disagrees with him isn’t wrong, but evil, then immediately personalizes that disagreement. McCain does not have the temperament to be President and he doesn’t wear well.

[MBB1984]

McVain is the worst. He has back stabbed the conservative movement with every twist and turn. He doesn’t support conservative appointments to the judiciary, he fought against tax cuts, he is a complete leftist on immigration, supports Gay marriage, and is responsible for the McCain Feingold mess. And, he has tried to weaken our interrogation efforts and has supported the Communist regime in Vietnam.

No conservative can get fired up for McVain. And, that’s why he can not win the Presidency. I will not vote for McVain under any circumstances.

[MBB1984]

Doesn’t that say it all? His two choices are the most liberal of the GOP candidates. He should really be voting in the democrat primary as his real favorites are probably Clinton and Obama.

[rintense]

Wow, so this guy picked McCain because of chicken wings?

Ok, Fred, get out there in SC and have a good ol' southern BBQ with all the fixins.

[gondramB]

>>Not a very solid vote of confidence.
I will not vote for McCain.
His support for amnesty and his McCain Feingold b.s. negates his chances with me.<<

I wasn’t really trying to give him a vote of confidence...
Just acknowledge reality in New Hampshire and give him a tongue in cheek slogan.

[gondramB]

>>I don’t see how McCain can call himself an American!<<

He served his country and was a prisoner of war - I won’t be calling him “not an American” just because I disagree with him on policy.

[Dead Corpse]

How could I possibly be supporting somebody that gets regularly panned by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and others that I respect on the right?

I'm guessing massive head trauma...

Never McCain.

John McCain would be an unmitigated disaster as POTUS. He constantly talks about his hero TR, but I think he would govern as Herbert Hoover. Why do I think that McCain is the 21st century equivalent of Hoover? Hoover, just as McCain, was the darling of the media. He was a technocrat serving in Wilson's 'rat regime and the Harding, Coolidge Republican administrations. Most people throughout the twenties were not sure whether Hoover was a Republican or a 'RAT, because he had never declared that he was affiliated with a particular party.

When Hoover declared for the presidency in March of 1928, he was being sought after by both parties to accept their nominations. Hoover selected the GOP as his political vehicle, but he was just as comfortable with the 'rats as he was with the GOP. Hoover, like McCain, was a political crossdresser, who felt at ease with both 'rats and Republicans.

Hoover was a green eyeshade budget balancer who raised the top marginal rates substantially to reduce the deficit. This is one of the reasons that the thirties turned out so badly for America and the world. I believe that McCain is a proponent of higher taxes to cover a budgetary shortfall in the spirit and tradition of Hoover. Just like Hoover, a McCain presidency will create a legacy, that in my humble opinion, will insure a 'rat restoration that could last a couple of generations.

Many Republicans believe that their nominee must stand opposed to abortion. There is no ambiguity here. Sen. McCain definitely fits the bill on this one.

Nonsense. Keyes made it perfectly clear in the 2000 debates that McCain is not anti-abortion in any reliable way.

[wbill]

McCain is soft on illegal immigration, but we could do a lot worse.

Unfortunately for him, "John McCain. You could do worse." ain't much of a campaign slogan.

[B4Ranch]

Policy? The ICC would strip Americans of Bill of Rights protections if they were apprehended and put on trial for alleged international crimes. The article did not explain how McCain would change the institution, which is now in existence, in order to require those protections. Most of the rest of the world, led by the European Union, rejected any safeguards for U.S. citizens.

You don’t support that do you?

He will never get my vote either..I’ll never forget CFR, The gang of 14, him voting against the Bush tax cuts and him sucking up to The Swimmer on illegal immigration..McCain and his butt boy Graham would be the worst thing that could ever happen to conservatives.
