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.
McCain’s addled mind doesn’t even know who we’re winning against in Iraq. He’s riding on Bush’s surge coat tails taking the credit and kicking him in the a$$ on everything else. Nice guy.
You express your self much more eloquently that I could.
Amen. As one of the last voters in Florida panhandle in 2000, I can testify that only a few votes can make a huge difference. Bush was supposed to blow out Gore in Florida and I had to twist my wife's arm to get her to the polls that night. That convinced me to NEVER take my vote for granted ever again. So a bad McCain is better than a good Obama any day.
Because if Obama gets in, they might not be coming back outside of a pine box. Their lives are in our hands.
jrooney: “There is no doubt there are Obama trolls slithering through FR threads trying to depress turnout against Obama.”
Please take a moment to consider what you wrote. Millions of people vote in the general election. A few thousand FReepers are hardly worth the time of Obama trolls.
Please consider the possibility that nearly all of the FReepers posting against McCain are telling the truth. I know I am. I have voted Republican for decades. That even includes a proud vote for Dole.
McCain is simply too much to stomach. If he picked a staunch conservative for VP, I could vote knowing the VP would be the most likely heir in 4 years. I wouldn’t be voting McCain so much as the VP. However, McCain has given absolutely no indication he even wants conservative support, so I’m not holding my breath.
McCain is the product of an extremely distorted primary process that is still broke and unlikely to be fixed. Let the RINOs and media sycophants who barely managed to put him over the top vote put him into office. I won’t.
What makes you think McCain will get war funding with a 70+dem majority house and filibuster (including the RINOs) proof senate?
Who might that be? Certainly not McCain.
It won’t destroy America. BUT it will be real crappy for 2 years. There might even be a large scale terrorist attack during that time. I hope not but both candidates are inviting it to happen.
What doesn’t kill us will make us stronger.
Hell if we are real lucky it might just end liberalism.
Hmmm... that's not McCain either.
Which is more likely to happen, a Obamao C&R out of Iraq, or a McCain stick in to win in Iraq?
Granted, the Dhimis will have the power, but in order to run us out of Iraq, the Dhimis will have to have the Presidency to do it...
When virtually every snngle two bit dictator around the world is rooting for McCain’s opponent to win, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I’M GOING TO BE ONE OF THEIR USEFUL IDIOTS@!
I’m still on the fence because of the stances McQueeg continues to support. There is also talk of N.Y. Mayor Bloomberg as V.P. If he picks Bloomberg I’m out of here. I will vote third party.
The fact that McCain even mentions that nanny stater Bloomberg is another strike. I am on strike 20 with Mccain.
Either the man is a senile fool or he has Dicky Moris telling him what to do. How do you vote for someone so totally out of touch? Words fail me.
I have no problem not voting for McInsane. We will all survive B’roke. McLame is as bad as B’roke. Don’t let the (R) fool you. The weakest candidate needs to be in the WH. B’roke will be powerless.
Don't worry about it.. Obama will find another war we can get in to help Islam much like Kosovo.
Coward conservatives are the worst kind.
