This voter has come around.
I wanted Duncan Hunter. I moved to Romney. Now: I’ll vote for McCain.
Without hesitation.
For our troops.
Barf!
If John McCain would just promise to limit spending growth to 2%, I would vote for him. Look what happened under Bush, our Budget swelled from $2 Trillion to $3 Trillion. Utterly ridiculous. If Bush could have just kept spending to a reasonable growth level, we could have easily have a $2.5 billion budget this year and a budget surplus. Really, if McCain would just promise to be a small government Republican and strictly limit government growth, I think that would be enough to win many conservatives over.
You write: This voter has come around. I wanted Duncan Hunter. I moved to Romney. Now: I’ll vote for McCain. Without hesitation. For our troops.”
I agree. Vote McCain FOR THE TROOPS.
Don’t put them in the position of having to salute a Pres. Obama or Clinton by your thinking you are sending some kind of “message” to the GOP by staying home 11/4/08.
It would take a lot of convincing, and I’m not sure McCain can win me over because I would want more than words...which at this point in the campaign is all he can offer.
Don’t blame Bush for the spending increases alone. Our country’s citizens have become accustomed to having it all and that thinking permeates all the way through Government.
Whenever you are waffling on voting for McCain; just picture a President Obama strutting across an aircraft carrier deck with the troops being forced to salute a cocaine user.
“This voter has come around”
Me too but I hope he picks a REAL conservative for VP.
I wrote to my congressman to support the Enumerated Powers Act,
he, being a dhimmicrat, wrote back that the Supreme Court has ruled that the interstate commerce clause co-exists with the enumerated powers,
basically telling me that he believes the Federal Government can do anything it damn well pleases.
What is the point of supporting our troops overseas when their families suffer rape, murder, theft and stolen identities by the illegal invaders that McCain and his staffer Juan Hernandez support? (And yes, that Juan Hernandez is the same Juan Hernandez who served on Vicente Fox's American Reconquista Council.)
Add to that mix the remarks of La Raza's own Felipe Calderon who just yesterday remarked, "It seems to me that the most radical and anti-illegal alien immigrant candidates have been left behind and have been put in their place by their own electorate."[*]
It's more than obvious that McCain will (as he did with McCain-Kennedy) once more put the wants of illegals ahead of the needs of American citizens; particularly the families of our troops.
I cannot go along with that. I just can't.
Me too but I hope he picks a REAL conservative for VP.
Now why would McCain do that when he already knows he doesn't have to earn your vote? He could pick Hillary or Obama as his running mate and knows that you'd still bend over for his liberal agenda.
So we win the distant war, but lose the battle here at home?
All of the Dems are on record in the debates, that they won’t pull out of Iraq before 2012. They wanted Bush to lose.
I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t believe John McCain if he told me the sky was blue and that grass was green.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but there are some who would say that the troops already have saluted a cocaine user in Bush. I remember that allegation being tossed around in 2000 continuously and I’m not saying I buy into it, but it’s an argument that cuts both ways.
I don’t support Obama, but I don’t support McCain either.
I’m not waffling, I’m pretty solid on my intention to not vote for McCain.
I respect those who can stomach McCain, but there isn’t enough antiacid in the universe for my stomach to take John McCain.
Or picture Madame President Clinton...
I like the idea of a “Contract with Conservatives” for some reason, but as I have proposed in the past, it needs to be signed and dated prior to the Candidate’s being presented the coveted “R” to put beside his/her name.
Take the test, pass the evaluation, sign the contract, get the “R”, then go out and “win one for the Gipper” and America.
you really don’t have to worry about that issue. He does not go for Bush’s compassionate ‘conservatism’ at all.
mcCain’s biggest problem is regulation. That comes from his teddy roosevelt side...
did you support reagan and Bush?
Why would McCain feel bound by some unenforceable contract with his political enemies when he gleefully flouts the U.S. Constitution in broad daylight?
