McCain as President?Feb 6th, 2008 - 19:21:32

That won't be too difficult to get used to; after all, we've had a brain dead president in office for two terms now.

Didn't know Bush wasn't a conservative when he got voted in. We know ahead of time that John McKennedy isn't. Big difference. I'll be writing some other candidates name when I cast my vote.

Senator McCain is handling this situation very foolishly. The base of the GOP is NOT going to accept him as one of their own. They will NEVER trust him. They will NEVER support him wholeheartedly and all he has done by asserting his 'conservative credentials' is to infuriate them. Even if Senator McCain wins the general election, he will lack the support of his own party and he will therefore be next to helpless in dealing with congress. No Republican legislator is ever going to feel any overwhelming loyalty to him.

Given a choice between Senator Obama and Senator McCain during the general election, my vote will go to Senator Obama. If we are to elect a leftist, then let us elect a genuine leftist and not a leftist pretending to be a conservative. Let the real leftists bear the responsibility for leftist policies.

You know, you need to stop letting Rush Limbaugh do your thinking for you.
Calling McCain a 'liberal' is just asinine. Voting for Obama because of it is idiotic. Obama hasn't done anything other then be the correct color. He is the flavor of the month and the darling of the press but this job is too important to trust to a fad.

John McCain has demonstrated next to no loyalty to the GOP. On what grounds does expect loyalty from GOP members. More importantly, why should any member of the GOP offer the man any loyalty? There is no basis in reason for such a relationship, I don't care what Rush Limbaugh thinks or doesn't think.

Take a hard look at this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_mccain

This is not a smear piece by any stretch of the imagination. The Wikipedia does a fair job of describing John McCain in detail.

Also, go here:

www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/

Find me a place where Senator McCain effectively addresses this country's energy needs on his website. He fails to mention it even as a national security concern.

Go to Mitt Romney's site and have a look at what you will find for an energy policy there. It wants for detail but it is very clear that someone with an engineering background reviewed the policy with Governor Romney and his advisers. As much as I dislike Mitt Romney, he is the only candidate out of the five remaining who is doing a professional job of planning his work.

Senator McCain will NOT do well as President of the United States. He flies by the seat of his pants and is impetuous. If the country is to be ruined, then let it be ruined by bloody democrat.

I hope Romney does not quit. McCain is a lair and a snake. He does not deserve to be the President of our great country. Obama and Clinton are less than honest in anything. Not one of these 3 people deserve to be President. Clinton like her husband have been on the take for years and the media hides this fact. Obama has been shown to be on the take and it was Clinton who outed that fact. It is to bad we can not fire the whole bunch but if you are not dirty in politics in D.C. from the taste of power, it is hard to get in and represent the people honestly. The likes of these people try to shut you out of any good things you hope to bring to the government.
