I guess Cato missed the proposed 50 cent per gallon global whoring tax McCain wants to slap on us...
“He is well known as an opponent of earmarks and pork barrel spending”
Yet did vote for it everytime in the last 10 years.
Stop right there. Of actual Republicans that voted in the Florida Republican primary, Romney got more votes than McCain.
Face it, John McCain is the clear front runner of Democrats and Independents voting in Republican primaries. But if you only count actual Republicans, McCain has yet to win a single primary.
The clear front runner? The last I looked McCain had 97 delegates to Romney's 92. It's only over if Republican voters do what the MSM tells them to. The author does however make some good points about McCain's attacks on the First Amendment, which have been relentless over the years.
If I wasn't’t determined to vote for Obama to STOP Hillary
on Super Tuesday, I’d consider McCain after listening to Ziegler.
But... Stop Hillary, I must.

I will not vote for John McCain.
Appears to have? Any time you hear someone use the word 'appears', you know that it was probably a liberal who used it. I hate it when I hear people make statements based upon emotional perception rather than fact. The truth of the matter is:
There, Cato. That's how a rational, objective conservative does it.
McNasty is a legend in his own mind...
Pray for a Mitt miracle. It’s the only thing standing between us and disaster.
This Conservative will not vote for that sonofabitch if he is the GOP nominee. Clinton-McCain is not a race — it is a ticket, and I will not surrender my party to a virtual Democrat like John McCain. McCain has sabotaged our party and our issues too many times to count. The only thing worse than Hillary beating McCain would be for McCain to beat Hillary, because a McCain presidency would destroy the Republican Party’s essence as a party of principles and ideas. It would be better for us to spend four years in the wilderness to rediscover our Conservative roots. I will vote for Mitt Romney on Tuesday.
Good article — thanks for posting it.
I’ve abandoned political relativism, so a candidate has to meet an absolute threshhold in several areas to earn my vote. While McCain has a strong fiscal conservative record in some areas, he (like Romney and Huck) are big-government statists when it comes to government intrusion and individual liberty. Big government statists do not meet the threshhold required to earn my vote.
I’m voting for Thompson (not that it’s likely to matter, since I’m in PA and my primary isn’t until March, I think).
McCain is a Marxist enemy of the Republic. McCain has aided the illegal invasion from Mexico for over a decade. This is one of his many crimes.
If a Marxist/liberal villainous tyrant like McCain becomes president then we the people have a right to institute new government as this right was given to us in the founding documents and the
The Declaration of Independence:
“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,”
The Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Some of McCain’s actions against freedom and against America:
McCain/Kennedy
McCain/Feingold
McCain/Lieberman
No on Bush Tax cuts
Consideration of VP for John Kerry
Keating 5
Global Warming
NY Times endorsement
LA Times Endorsement
Opposed federal gay marriage (before realizing the consequences)
Pro choice(before realizing the consequences)
McCain’s the candidate of amnesty for illegal aliens.
McCain supports embryonic stem-cell research.
McCain has said “I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade”.
McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts, and refuses to sign the “No New Taxes” pledge.
McCain supports legislation that would increase taxes on energy.
McCain was the ring-leader of the Senate “Gang of 14”, which kept the then Senate Republican leadership from ending the ability of Democrats to filibuster Bush’s judicial nominees.
McCain supports legislation to grant due-process rights to terrorists.
McCain sponsored the inept legislation which restricts free-speech rights of those involved in the political process, (the McCain/Feingold bill)
McCain called evangelical-conservatives an “evil influence” on the Republican Party.
McCain - member of the Keating 5 that caused a bipartisan scandal during the S&L meltdown.
McCain had a recall election ran against him by the conservatives in Arizona.
McCain blocked the investigation into whether Viet Nam and the Soviets were still holding over 600 of our missing POWs in 1990.
This list needs to be spread to all parts of the internet. The liberal mainstream media has hidden all this from the public and they portray McCain as a war hero, patriotic conservative. What McCain is as his record of his actions shows is a Marxist/liberal bent on aiding the invasion by Mexico and bent on putting the U.S. on the road to socialism like Hugo Chavez is in Venezuela.
Comrads, I think that pretty well covers it.
