Anyone paying attention knows that John McCain has been a Big-Government Globalist Neocon (BGGN) for virtually his entire senatorial career. As with many BGGNs hiding out in the Republican Party, McCain likes to talk about smaller government, but his track record is littered with the promotion of one big government program after another. But, what else would one expect from a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)?
Lately, however, McCain has outdone himself. He has introduced two bills in the US Senate that are about as Machiavellian as they could be. I am referring to S.3081, a bill that would authorize the federal government to detain American citizens indefinitely without trial, and S.3002, a bill that would authorize the federal government to regulate vitamins, minerals, and virtually all health and natural food products.
According to Examiner.com, “Last week, John McCain introduced a bill into the U.S. Senate which, if passed, would actually allow U.S. citizens to be arrested and detained indefinitely, all without Miranda rights or ever being charged with a crime.”
The Examiner report continued by saying “This bill, introduced by McCain, who despite overwhelming evidence, claims to be a ‘conservative,’ would not only take away our right to a trial, but would also allow the federal government to arrest and imprison anyone the current administration deems hostile.
“Of course, that would be the same administration whose Homeland Security Secretary has classified veterans, retired law enforcement, Ron Paul [and Chuck Baldwin] supporters, and conservatives as ‘terrorists.’”
The Examiner report concluded by saying “If it was not clear before, it should be now that John McCain has as little respect for the Constitution as he does for our borders.”
Amen!
If Juan McCain gets his way, your constitutional right to a speedy trial by jury is gone, as well as your constitutional right to Habeas Corpus. But, of course, they would attempt to justify this by claiming it is being done in the name of national security and the war on terrorism.

Regarding McCain’s desire for the federal government to take over the vitamin industry, attorney Jonathan Emord wrote, “If you had any doubt about whether John McCain is a limited government conservative, you may put that doubt to rest–he is not. On February 3, 2010, John McCain introduced to the United States Senate the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010. Reflecting upon this poorly written bill, I am struck by the fact that John McCain apparently sees little difference between fissile material and dietary supplements. He is intent on regulating supplements as if they were radioactive enriched uranium rather than bioactive vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and botanicals that more often than not help people.
“The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 enjoys support from the most liberal members of Congress. It is an invitation for the FDA to assume broad new powers and replicate here the system now operating in Europe over dietary supplements where dietary ingredients are presumed adulterated and unlawful to sell unless pre-approved by the government. In short, good bye free enterprise, good bye limited government, and hello more heavy handed, arbitrary and punitive FDA bias against the beleaguered dietary supplement industry.”

Please remember, this is the same John McCain that, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, said he would “order the secretary of the treasury to immediately buy up the bad home loan mortgages in America.” Of course, McCain didn’t explain where this authority would come from, because such a proposal has no legal or constitutional authority. And, by the way, this one little sentence, if implemented, would cost taxpayers some $300 billion.
McCain also said he wanted to tap Mr. Climate Change Wacko himself, Al Gore, “to work in his administration on developing a new and much tougher U.N.-sponsored global warming treaty.”

This is the same John McCain who addressed the Hoover Institution on May 1, 2007, and said if he were elected President, he would create a new international organization known as “The League of Democracies” (LD).
In advancing the LD, McCain said, “We should go further and start bringing democratic peoples and nations from around the world into one common organization, a worldwide League of Democracies.” He then added, “The new League of Democracies would form the core of an international order . . .”
See McCain’s speech to the Hoover Institution at:

If McCain and his CFR buddies get their way, this new LD would be a United Nations on steroids! As I said all over America on the campaign trail in 2008, “John McCain is a globalist.” Of course, so is Barack Obama. In fact, every President since (and including) George H.W. Bush has been a full-fledged, rotten-to-the-core globalist.
And, yes, this is the same Juan McCain who is one of the primary movers and shakers (along with Obama, Lindsey Graham, and G.W. Bush) attempting to provide amnesty to illegal aliens and open America’s borders to illegal immigration.
And now McCain wants the federal government to take over the vitamin industry, and he wants to give the federal government the power to jail American citizens indefinitely without trial.
The citizens of Arizona can do the American people–and liberty itself–a great favor this year by giving Senator John McCain his walking papers. Big-Government dinosaurs like McCain are an albatross around the neck of freedom and constitutional government. If we don’t send them packing now, the shackles they put around our throats will become insufferable.
You are still a Ron Paul/Chuck Balwin anti-war Truther (according the sources you use and who you support.).
What's really funny is that I'm more of a Hayworth supporter as I don't even like McCain but I really hate Ron Paul and you don't make him look any better. :)
What a load of s*it. The RINOS are holding strong against Obama and his govt. healthcare and you know it.
Find the post where I said that 9/11 was carried out by the U.S. government, as the so-called Truthers claim.
Put up or shut up, Bushbot.
Then why is Lindsey Graham kissing Obama's arse on immigration, in which tens of millions of illegals will be amnestied and then given free healthcare under Obamacare?
Schumer, Graham Unveil Immigration Reform Blueprint (INCLUDES "PATH TO CITIZENSHIP")
“I don’t think I’m alone in wondering why you never go after the real enemy....Obama and his thugs? Very suspicious...”
This is almost a verbatim quote from another FReeper, who also didn’t bother to check Rabs’ posting history. It is best to milk your own cow. McCain is running against a REAL conservative, and the vast majority of FR folk want McCain broomed. Obama is safe(for now). McCain is the soup du jour, and we want him out!
And now, a word from rab himself:
To: CAluvdubya;
Care to find the post where I said that the U.S. government perpetrated the 9/11 attacks (i.e., the "Truther" conspiracy)? Or am I just guilty by association?

From the thread titled: Sarah Palin’s Bad Tea (Southern Avenger)
Yep, as long as you claim the same for Palin, the "guilt by association" tag will be applied to you. It's a b*tch when your words come back to bite ya!
While I will admit that a large number of my threads posted are McCain-related (which would fit, since I run the "hate" McCain ping list), I do also post a large number of other threads that have nothing to do with McCain.
If you had actually paid attention to my posting history, you would have noticed that trend.

but I really hate Ron Paul and you don't make him look any better.
No, you just "hate" libertarians, paleos, and anyone who doesn't toe the Republican agenda, which at this time appears to consists of nothing more than "hating" Obama and co-opting Tea Party rage.
The difference between Palin and me is that I don't go around praising the so-called Truthers while Palin is working overtime to save McCain's sorry arse AGAIN.
The RINO Party loyalists really are circling the wagons, aren't they?
“No, you just “hate” libertarians, paleos, and anyone who doesn’t toe the Republican agenda”
That sums it up....Paleos like me, or Libertarian conservatives need not apply.
Call me Bushbot all you want but if you bothered to check my posting history you'd find that not only do I disagree with McCain and Bush about immigration but also the runaway spending. You see, I can actually admit the good and bad about a politicians I like or dislike. I don't rely some obsessed college kid posting a ton of threads on the same topic for my information.
It's been fun, though!
We agree! You are much more sneaky than Sarah Palin.
McCain is so bad but I voted for him anyway. 0bongo is so much worse. McCain would have been too feeble to do a lot of evil. 0bongo is young and energetic and loves to stir up shiite and bring Ameerica down
Then don't read the thread.
Duh.
Anyone who doesn’t think McCain is the real enemy is suspect.
Ah well, it's really been a blast but I have to go get ready for work. I have a job to go to so I can't sit around all day and chat about the merits of Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin. :)
“You guys crack me up! You think others reading FR don’t have their own opinions? “
Yes, they sure do. I have also noticed that 2 months ago, it was “Palin, do or die”. Today, it has switched, due to McCain.
“Some are sick of seeing the same, topic thread posted 4 - 5 times a day. It’s all the same news posted by the same person with the same posters commenting on it. Too funny!”
Yeah, hilarious.....It happens Rabs runs the “McCain Exposure Thread” so it would indeed be odd if a significant number of his posts were not about McCain. Funny how that works, eh?
“You see, I can actually admit the good and bad about a politicians I like or dislike. “
O’RLY?
What is it about Palin that you dislike?
“Anyone who doesn’t think McCain is the real enemy is suspect.”
Highly suspect.
The citizens of Arizona can do the American people–and liberty itself–a great favor this year by giving Senator John McCain his walking papers.

I should have voted for Chuck Baldwin like my husband and son did!
