Why McCain Would Be Worse Than {GW} Bush
WND.com ^ | 01-25-08 | Buchanan, Patrick J.

Posted on 01/25/2008 4:53:01 AM PST by Theodore R.

Excerpt:

In 2004, the voters of Arizona, by 56 percent to 44 percent, enacted Proposition 200, requiring proof of citizenship before an individual may vote or receive state benefits. Forty-six percent of Hispanics voted for Prop. 200, giving the lie to those who say Hispanics support the illegal invasion of their country.

Over 190,000 Arizonans petitioned to put Prop. 200 on the ballot. As it simply required proof of citizenship before receiving the benefits and privileges of citizenship, who could oppose it? Answer: the entire GOP congressional delegation, led by Sen. John McCain.

Buchanan hates Mc Cain. This has been out in the open for a long time. He even admits it.

Buchanan lists support for the Iraq war as one of McCain’s bad points.

McCain has many bad points. But Buchanan is worse.

Doesn't matter. McCain, and his supporting administration, is still better than Hitlery or Obama Hussein.

If people don't vote Republican in 2008, the newly appointed Justices who will be sitting on the Supreme Court will have been named by rats, and our country will face difficulties long after 2012.

My TV was still on MSNBC from the debate last night. Tim Russert was there, all full of himself about how tough he had been on the Republicans. They reported a generic poll, Dem -51, Rep 46, or something like that. The McCain-Hitlery match up was 49-46, or something like that. So the country considers McCain more of a Democrat than Hitlery!

I agree that McScream will be/would be as bad as Jorge Bushwinski has been. In my 40 years of voting, I HAVE NEVER been as disappointed with a candidate that I voted for as Bush. I have searched my mind and looked back at some of the old candidates that I voted for, in my home state of Alabama while in the military and now retired here in Alabama. Of all those candidates, Bush disturbs me most. Looking back, if I had know more about Bush, that he would turn this liberal, and do what he did with Ted Kennedy and the education bill right out of the gate, I would have never supported him. While he has done a creditable job on the terror issue, and I don't give him the main credit here, I GIVE IT TO MY MILITARY BROTHERS AND SISTERS who have gone to the wall and defended the republic. He was a leader in these issues better than the co-presidents Klinton did with Bosnia and Africa. In my own personal opinion, McScream will be a compete and utter disaster. I just wish I had know about Bush as I know now, and I am grateful that I know as much as I do about McScream so that I do not repeat that mistake again.

Well, I choose slower. I choose to think long term, and that means as little damage over the next four years as possible.

I don't like McNutjob anymore than anyone else here, but he will have a Vice President and an entire administration behind him, and hopefully a Republican Congress to keep him in check, and I can guarantee that as a whole, they will be MUCH better than anything Hitlery or Obama Hussein can come up with.

It will be McCain the Al Gore cantidate or Mitt “I beleive in individual rights when it comes to the 2A but will sign a ban” Romney. What great choices. I prefer Huck cause at least I will keep my guns, But paul is better then all of them despite coming off like a kook beausehe can’t articulate his positions better.

If it turns out to be viable, I completely agree with you. Republicans haven't represented conservatives for a long time.

But we can't allow our country to be Peroted again. That's what gave us those damned Clintons to begin with.

It is doubtful he will have a Republican Congress, and even if he does, exactly how has the Republican Congress kept Bush in check?

I don’t trust John “Gang of 14” McCain on judges any more than I trust him on anything else. He voted to confirm Ginsberg and has praised her in the past. We can expect judges like her if he’s President; we know he takes particular delight in sticking it to conservatives.

I don't see that there would be much difference between McAmnesty and Shrillery or Osama/Obama. He defers to the Dems on almost every piece of legislation he pushes through (and they are without fail, huge, stinking turds). I don't trust him to have any kind of supporting administration that aren't a bunch of ass kissers who will go along with whatever he wants to do.

If we're going to get essentially the same thing either way, then I would rather be able to blame the mess on a Rat and not someone with the Republican brand attached to their name. The only thing that really scares me about that scenario is the possible appointment of Supreme Court justices. But even then, I don't know that I can trust McLame to do any better. He is more concerned that the press write nice things about him.

Well, I just don't know. I hope he is not the nominee, but even then I won't be happy.

But I tell you one thing, I will vote, and I will vote to defeat the Dems.

So according to Buchanan, who is the alternative?

The only anti-war candidate available in the Rep. primaries is Ron Paul.

All the candidates, except Ron Paul are extremely free trade.

On the abortion issue, we have one out of the closet pro-choicer (Rudy) and one ambiguously pro-”life” candidate that changes position on this all the time. The rest are all pro-life.

Buchanan’s sister is working for the Romney campaign, I wonder if that who Buchanan wants to win. I don’t know, but Romney doesn’t strike me as a guy who would be in synch with Buchanan’s trade policies.

I respect whatever you choose to do.

I will do whatever I can to stop this invasion from Mexico. If Sheriff Arpaio, Tom Tancredo, have endorsed Romney on this issue, I feel the need to do so.

Jeff Sessions has not endorsed anyone, but he did point out Romney was addressing the issue.

It was a tough battle to stop that CIR bill, and I am not going to give it up yet.

Look he changed the candidate names ... how cute! (sarcasm in case you didn't get it).

So McCain votes the same as Hillary and Obama, I didn't know those Democrats were so conservative. Maybe somebody should post their lifetime conservative score voting record, if Obama voted the same as McCain we should have him change to Republican and nominate him!

You're right that the cast of characters surrounding the President is more important than the President himself. And I think it's going to be pretty much the same cast of characters no matter which one of the current figureheads wins the nomination.

The thing that worries me about McCain is his apparent mental instability - he's just the kind of guy who would get pissed off at some country, have a POW flashback, and order an unjustified nuclear first strike. He might not be ineffective as, say, Secretary of Defense, but he's not necessarily the guy whose finger you want on the trigger.

We all do what we have to do, and if He changes his mind again, like he has on everything else, the 2A may be all we have left to save our nation, and he has made it clear that is one right he will not protect.

So I can not trust him to protect anything else.

Oh, I will always vote. It’s just that this year I am really having to agonize over who and for what reason(s). I would really love to vote “for” someone instead of “against”, but my candidates of choice have all dropped out. It still might end up as voting against the Rats even though I hate the message that sends to those in the Rupublican party (that we’ll vote for the candidate with the “R” by their name regardless of how liberal they are). I don’t want the party to just be able to count on my vote. It might be better to take some bitter medicine for the next 4 years and send a clear message. I think they started to get it when we all rose up against the amnesty bill (but even then, they are still trying to sneak it through in other forms). The leadership of the party needs to know we are dead serious in this and that principles must come before expedience.

Don't count on it.

If McCain is the Republican Candidate, he will make Mondale vs. Reagan look like a close race. He might win two states maybe.

I agree that McScream will be/would be as bad as Jorge Bushwinski has been. In my 40 years of voting, I HAVE NEVER been as disappointed with a candidate that I voted for as Bush.

I can understand why you think like you think. However, three things President Bush did and stuck to in-spite of McCain and his liberal herd were (1)Tax cuts... (which McCain opposed in making permanent under pretend guise of spending cuts) (2)NOT giving into the liberals demand of unionizing Homeland Security... (remember Georgia senatorial election wailing and gnashing of teeth over the crippled vet) and (3)Fighting these barbaric terrorists.

Every step of the way McCain was the leader of the opposition seeking to destroy a president and to get his revenge using the legislative process to control of all things 'speech' giving liberals stealth financing of their candidates. McCain's ruthless assaults with the help of his liberal media jocks got Rummy, which to this day he gleefully sneers as his main conquest.

Now these leftist had a global crusade against George Bush, remember that German socialist accusing George Bush to be 'Hitler'/Nazi like and all the liberals swooned? Given this global assault to protect Saddam and those who wanted him to continue that UN Oil for rotten Food scam did their utmost to destroy a President.

President Bush did what he had to do to fund and fight this war by letting these liberals have their way for the most part domestically. Meaning NOTHING would be done to stop the illegal invasion... we were sent a warning by those sanctuary cities having their marches as to what their intent was, it was a THREAT.

Now given the majority of our military is otherwise occupied and these global leftist as demonstrated from the beginning by the ANSWER crowd some choices had to be made. No I am NOT happy with was has happened but these liberal mooooolahs do not care what happens to US, so long as they get their Alinsky revolution underway the sooner the better.

I left the GOP awhile back, or more accurately they left me, however, voting the lesser of two evils still leaves evil in the White House. Fred was my guy and I believe he would have put the country back on the right track. Now it is down to trying to save what we have.
As far as judges go none of the top guys have a very good record when it comes to appointments. Libs every last one of them, regardless of what they are saying now.

I said that he "defers" to them. I did not say he votes exactly the same. The problem is that he votes so close to them, compromises on core conservative values, that there really isn't that much difference.

As far as the "pet names" for the candidates: that goes on quite a lot around here. I know you're a newbie so maybe you haven't figured that out yet. Or perhaps you are so far and away superior to all the people who are not your intellectual equal here that you feel the need to explain that complicated concept called sarcasm.

(By the way, does SuperCapitanAmerica realize that he spelled "captain" wrong, or are you from New Mexico??)

Don’t people around here still remember last summer? Amnesty was getting approved in the dark of the night, and the man that was doing it was John McCain.

And now some people here trust him?

I saw the last half of the debate last night, and McCain came off terrible. Hopefully Florida will give this clown the third or fourth place finish he deserves.

“If McCain is the Republican Candidate, he will make Mondale vs. Reagan look like a close race.”

John McCain would beat Hillary Clinton, according to current polls which I believe are accurate. The most accurate pollster, Rasmussen, shows him smashing Hillary.

One thing the Fred disaster has taught me is that real conservative Republicans are only 10% of the party. John McCain will pick up enough independent and Democratic support to make up for losing us.

The current political outlook is John McCain wins, the USA and Republican Party lose. I hope that outlook changes, but I doubt that it will.
