I was going to put on the gas mask and pull the lever for McCain this November but events of the past few days have led me not to vote for him.
1: McCain speaking at the racist, reconquista La Raza conference. 2: McCain still opposed to drilling in ANWR and comparing it to drilling in the Grand Canyon despite $4 + and climbing gas prices. Accoring to NRO Corner when asked about this he seemed peeved someone would have the audacity to ask him that question. 3: McCain giving veto power to coastal states on offshore drilling. The US owns these waters not the states. 4: McCain seemingly on board supporting windfall profits taxes and making a fascist statement that the government has the right to tell oil companies how they should invest in their money.
To be totally honest I live in CA where Obama is going to crush McCain but this will be the first time I do not vote for the GOP candidate for POTUS.
First I've heard of it. Coastal oil was a big issue fifty years ago. Eisenhower backed the states and carried Texas and Louisiana.
In reference to whether I am an Obama troll let me share some of my personal history:
1: I attended a conference at Columbia Univ in 1984 while in HS and I was the only person on campus with a Reagan/Bush button.
2: I did some phone bank volunteer work for Bush in 1988.
3: Never voted D in my life.
4: Been a long time lurker and now poster on this site and other right wing sites like Lucianne.com
5: Never voted for a bond issue, tax increase or other liberal crap when such issues have come up for a vote in CA.
I think the gas prices and McCain’s total ignorance on this issue, he seems more in league with Pelosi than the GOP, have broke my back. Perhaps when Nov comes around I will have a change of feeling.
Do anyone know where I can purchase a
F**K Obama and a F**K McCain bumper sticker?
I want to put them both on my car.
Voting for the lessor of 2 evils is still voting for evil.
If we need to go thru 2 years of liberal hell to get a decent congress, so be it.
YES Obama will honk up things so bad that will happen and it will occur quicker than Clintons 1st term.
Let me ad I drove from Sacramento to Ventura County near LA so I can watch in person the motorcade carrying President Reagan to his final resting place. I wore a suit to show my respect for the great man and I got a big thrill seeing Lady Thatcher looking out from her limo.
AMEN! For the life of me I cannot understand people who will just hand over the presidency to Obama as a matter of standing on some sort of “principle”. J.M. may not be who we really wanted, but, good heavens, he’s certainly better than that dangerous alternative.
Now that there, is down right funny. Just last year if a person liked McCain, he was deemed a troll.
Makes you wonder, nothing changed, did it?
I agree whole-heartedly. McCain is awful. Obama is from the pit of hell: Socialist, racist, anti-American.
I’ll take McCain any day.
And there's no doubt that there's Big Tent McCainiac's slithering through the Freep pushing that Socialist in hopes of a coffee mug.
“When November rolls around, ask yourself who the troops in Iraq would want you to vote for. If you can’t vote for yourself, at least vote for them.”
What an absolutely superb thought. (Which means I’m going to steal it.)
Your a swell person. By the way, I’ve been registered since 01/01/1999 and have not felt driven to post a vanity. Therefore, I’ve had to spend 0 time defending myself.
Amen, why let anything like principle get in the way of a socialist win win situation. Yea rah!
Like the new tagline?
Curious cripplecreek, what are your views on winning the War in Iraq?
And just how am I supposed to face them when they come home and put their civilian clothes back on, knowing that I'd aided and abetted putting a Socialist RINO in office that'll knife them in the back?
We’re winning.....despite facing weapons sold to our enemies by our good friends in China. Too bad McCain doesn’t have it in him to speak up about that.
Point well taken.
But the difference, I think, is like comparing Tony Blair with Leon Trotsky.
I think McCain should habve been the one to call Iraq and tell the soldier that her son had been murdered by an illegal alien. Then he could have gone into his sales pitch about how much we need these immigrants to do jobs Americans are too lazy to do.
