Why John McCain [FREEPer Promise To McCain: Support in 2012 if you govern conservatively!]
John McCain's Web Site ^ | John McCain & his staff

Posted on 05/07/2008 10:58:52 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

John McCain is an experienced conservative leader in the tradition of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan. He is a common sense conservative who believes in a strong national defense, a smaller, more accountable government, economic growth and opportunity, the dignity of life and traditional values.

Election 2008: What's at Stake?

America faces a dangerous, relentless enemy in the War against Islamic Extremists - We face an enemy that has repeatedly attacked us and remains committed to killing Americans and the destruction of our values. This election is about who is best prepared to lead and defend our nation and its global allies as Commander-in-Chief from day one. This election is about making sure we have the experienced leadership to guide us to victory in this war, protect the nation against future terrorist attacks, and support our troops and first responders who are on the frontlines of the war. This election will decide whether we choose to fight or announce surrender. It will decide whether we have a president who dangerously weakens U.S. security or strengthens it; whether we will flinch and retreat or fully engage the enemy on multiple fronts. We need decisive leadership with the vision and experience to guide our country and the world through this challenge. Having a courageous Commander-in-Chief who is willing to lead us in this war, rally our democratic allies and defeat our enemy to secure a broader peace is what's at stake in this election.

America is at an Economic Crossroads - Government spending is out-of-control. A Democrat elected President will join hands with a tax-and-spend Democratic Congress and subject Americans to enormous tax increases. Even now, the tax code is too complex and too burdensome. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - the government's promises to seniors and those in need - must be modernized. Too many American workers are unprepared by non-performing schools and shackled by outdated government employment assistance programs. America needs experienced leadership to guide the U.S. economy to greater prosperity, control government spending, keep taxes low, save Social Security and protect the American worker. Americans want a leader willing to offer straight talk and make the hard calls necessary to ensure a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. The long-term strength of our economy and financial stability of American households are what's at stake in this election.

Americans have lost faith and trust in their government - Americans have lost trust that their government and its elected officials will serve the Nation's interest and not their own. Special interests have too much influence in Washington. Americans want a courageous leader who will stand up to the trial lawyers and labor bosses and other special interests, govern by principle rather than political expedience, keep their promises, and solve problems instead of leaving them for our children. Restoring Americans' confidence in their government is what's at stake in this election.

Americans want judges who will strictly interpret the law and not legislate from the bench - The next president will appoint many federal judges and perhaps even a Supreme Court justice. The recent victory on partial birth abortion is an example of how important the Supreme Court is in protecting our values and interpreting the law as it is written. America needs a president who will provide strong moral leadership. A Democrat president will appoint judges who make law with disregard for the will of the people, but to the cheers of those advancing a liberal social agenda. America needs a leader who recognizes that that the people and states should decide what's best, not the courts. The future of the U.S. Supreme Court is what's at stake in this election.

Mr. McCain,

You make four strong conservative arguments on your web site.

You essentially say you're going to kill the terrorists, shrink government, stand up to trial lawyers and big labor and put more Scalias on the Supreme Court and in our judiciary.

I hope you do.

So I tell you what: right now, in 2008, I'll give you my vote. No money. No precinct walking. No phone banking.

But I promise this: if you get elected and you KEEP those promises, I'll work my ASS off for you in 2012.

Very simple proposition...you govern like a REAL conservative, and you'll get my full-fledged support.

I hope you succeed, because if you do all that you say above, America will be a better place.

Truly,
Recovering_Democrat

Well you got the FDR connection correct, he is a socialist on the order of FDR. F*** McCain and the horse he rode in on as far as I am concerned.

By 2012, there will be no more Republican electoral votes from the southwest due to illegal immigration.

By 2012 McCain’s work will be done — transforming America into a One Party Liberal State.

Then he’ll retire happy.

I stopped right there. What is the use in killing the terrorists if he is going to give our country away to Mexico/Mexicans. I am more likely to be killed by an illegal alien than by a terrorist.
That’s a dealbreaker for me.

I will vote for him in 2012 IF he is a conservative president for 4 years.

I will not vote for a proven anti-conservative this year, no matter the party affiliation...

I think many are already here. I’d like to see his VP choice too. Any chance we can put his nuts in a vice we should do it. And get used to doing it often or he will wander.

No. I do not support Juan McCain, and never will. Let the Dem's win ‘08. Let them take 4 years of domestic and international beatdown, let them flounder and fail, let them completely lose any and all cedibility they might have with the swing voters, then let's elect a REAL conservative in 2012.

On January 20th, 2009, Juan McCain will be sworn in as President of the United States. When he takes that oath he will promise to abide by the United States Constitution.

On January 21st, 2009, Juan McCain will set about legalizing as man illegal alien crimmigrants as he can.

Article IV Section IV of the U.S. Constitution states that the President of the United States will protect the states against invasion.

John will not only fail to protect them against invasion, he will make the invaders U.S. Citizens A.S.A.P.

Now, why would you possibly think a guy who won’t even abide by his oath of office, would rule as a Conservative.

It is mind-numbing to watch folks ignore the obvious, to pull a pipe dream out of their - - - so they can vote for Juan.

UnF’n believable.

That happened once: he was shown what NOT to do when he tried to put the squeeze on the North Carolina Republicans.

WRONG plan, (respectfully).

Why wait?

Conservatives should be grooming and vetting a Conservative to be McCain's maverick should he become President and to harass Hussein, should he become Pres.

And then run him against McCain, OR Hussein in 2012.

He said Theodore not Franklin.

Ronald Reagan would never had gone after Conservatives in the manner that McSocialist has.

Before I cast a vote for McSocialist he will have to commit to drilling for more OIL in Anwar and anywhere else in this country where it can be found.

He’ll need to keep his be trap shut and stop attacking conservatives, and instead try this new approuch, attack liberals, oh wait I forgot he is one.

Screw McSocialist, he still hasn’t givin me a reson to vote for him, and whenever I start thinking about it in a positive way he opens his mouth and attacks conservatives.

Ok, correction, he is NOT a Theodore by any stretch of the imagination. What a bunch of BS.
