I got to agree with you. Obama would be beyond a disaster. We may have a disaster if he loses also. (riots)

Thank you for the ping, but I see the thread is a veritable clown carnival of McCain haters.

For the record, it’s not quite the full transcript—be sure to watch the video at the link on post #116, where he continues to outrage us in the Q&A session.

Ya mean this part? ;-)

"we have to have a temporary worker program with tamper proof ID... humane and compassionate fashion... god’s children... humane and compassionate fashion... I think that is the will of the majority of the American people "

I read this speech, and no I am not a RINO nor I am a globalist,or an open borderista, nor Am I seeking the vice presidency. The only thing that he said that made my eyes role, was “global warming” and he emphasizes that we should approach it in a “economically responsible manner”.

He has changed his position away from Leavenworth by saying he wants to dispose of them within a multilateral framework which could mean giving them back to a country that will treat a terror suspect worse.

I don’t have any illegals hired but realize that asking a politician to do anything about it is useless. No US President will do anything about our borders. We have law to protect the borders but the politicians won’t let anyone enforce them.

"......he’s[McCain] an honerable man with good intentions..."

And no politician ever had intentions as good as Jimmy Carter.

The big problems is that McCain posses no positive traits. He is a leftie, has bad character, is stupid, looks ill, acts crazy, wants to harm this nation, lies like Hillary, and on and on and on. You must admit him voting against barring terrorists from entering the US was over the top.

A pox on all of these stinking candidates and their corrupt and power hungry parties. They may well end up with something they never thought would happen or bargained for. Just desserts. I may no longer be here to see it, but, hey, They deserve the evil fruit of their deceit.

Good point. One wonders how taken by surprise were Charles I, Louis XVI and Nicholas II. As they were about to meet their maker, did any of them think to himself, "How in the hell did I ever get here?"

Unfortunately, everything you said is a lie. Consequently, you have marginalized yourself completely with regard to the discussion of John Sidney McCain III.

Sad part for these bastards, is they are going to know why they got there.

All of them are smart enough to know what traitors they are.

I wonder, was McCain indoctrinated in Hanoi?

Ya mean all that "listening" and pandering to the international community didn't bother you a bit? Closing guantanamo and "humanely" dealing with terrorists didn't make ya sqirm a bit? Tying ourselves down economically in international agreements in the name of peace? A "global compact" and " League of Democracies" didn't give you a twinge? Leading the world in nuclear disarmament didn't concern you? None of this stuff bothered you at all?

BTW, there is nothing "economically responsible" about putting an arbitrary CAP on greenhouse gases when there is no evidence that those gases are harmful. Nor is there anything "economically responsible" of implementing a program that will result in the greatest wealth distribution in history while subjecting the U.S. to more international law, taxation, and governance. Nothing!

What is your opinion of the speech and the policies he outlined? Do you not see a reason for strong disagreement? I guess it's easier just to call everyone "clowns" and "haters" than to defend the speech.

No not really, although I think that people are reading much more into what he said. I don’t see anywhere he a said about tying us down to any economic treaty.

He did mention economic freedom and free markets, and I do believe he will defend this country.

Leading the way on nuclear disarmament got my attention. Thought I was listening to Jimmah for a minute there.

Do really believe McCain was brainwashed?

Maybe he was killed at the Hanoi Hilton, and at the orders of Illuminati, or the Knights Templar, and replaced by a KGB officer who changed his appearance to assume John McCain’s identity, I think I read that on World Net Daily or Newsmax.

The communists have achieved their goal by infiltrating both political parties in the US. THIS is indeed a fact.

Indeed, it is a fact.

Lest we forget:

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. [...]

He talked more about economic alliances and treaties during the 20 minute Q&A session.

As to defending this country, maybe—after he weakens our defenses and get approval from the “new international institutions” he would see created.

“And here is a quote on war from a great man: “It is a good thing that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.” - Gen. Robert E. Lee”

****

Yes, but almost a century later, another general said: “Americans love to fight...” (George S. Patton, Jr.)

So, whom do we believe? LOL
