McCain

I am voting for this man.

I am typically democratic by vote but I am not swayed easily by prose, by speech that reaches the heart. I'm more interested in what a leader says he will do with facts to back it up.

Obama and Hillary and the rest remind me a lot of George Bush in that George Bush spoke to voter's hearts, talking about how he would commit change. He spoke with passion but with very little fact on how exactly he will commit these changes... A lot of the candidates fit this bill, but I don't believe that McCain does.

I also like McCain because he isn't being backed by million dollar businesses donating money, and other interest groups. His campaign has become very grass roots, almost on the level of that crazy bastard Ron Paul. McCain is going foot to foot, city to city. Hell, his campaign almost went broke completely. People abandoned him, but he never gave up. And that paid off, because he took the NH primary. (The first one doesnt count because religious nuts will always vote for the most religious nut out and thats huckabee)

The other candidates are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from interest groups, from businesses... who do you think those candidates policies will be shaped by in the future no matter what they say?

McCain may say some things that aren't popular, but he is honest. He isn't speaking what he feels will get him elected like many other candidates, and do something else... his policies are shaped by what he thinks will really assist this country, and he will try his best to follow threw with what he says.

I believe that this man honestly wants to help our country, vs. helping whoever paid him into getting into office.

Some people won't vote for him not matter what because of his stance on Iraq. Those people want troops out now without thinking of the consequences of what that would cause.

Iraq was a horrible idea. It was wrong, it was immoral, and it was one of the worst acts I believe that this country has committed to another country in the history of America... but pulling out will be much much worse, and much more evil. Pulling out without leaving a stable government will cause a power vacuum that will more than likely be filled by an emboldened Iran... a country with a proven history of terrorism against Americans.

Some disagree and look to Vietnam as an example...

But Iraq is nothing like Vietnam. The histories of both countries are about as far apart as the sun is from ice. Iraq will not become a peaceful country with a stable government without American assistance. The country has far too many natural resources and too many power hungry religious dictators surround it wanting a piece of that wealth. And if we do pull out... those leaders will fight it out over the remains of a country that would be left in a civil war. Hundreds of thousands would die, and the end result is too horrible to contemplate.

McCain knows this, and that's why one of his policies would be to see the war threw till Iraq stabilizes. It's not a popular belief, but it is a factual one. McCain knows the horrors of war. He wouldn't glorify it like some leaders would, because he knows it. Hell he was a POW in Vietnam... one of the worst things any human being could ever go threw.

Anyway I'm rambling, but I am voting for McCain. He is an honest man, a stand up guy, his policies on our economy are on spot, and he is a realist in what it will really take to ensure our country is safe.

Cheers!
Mike

what do you think?

I think hillary and obama are a democratic version of bush. I have always been pro democrat. These 2 are retards. btw I think they are going to kiss and make love and hillary will be vicepresident and obama president...

at least that will be the democratic presidential nomination in the end.

inf0 I agree 100%. except on obama. I think he is an idealist with no followup plan.

"I am typically democratic by vote"

This explains perfectly why you are voting for McCain. He has to be the least concervative Republican ever.

6

McCain is against MMA Fighting

Anyone willing to run under the Republican banner after the last 8 years cluster f*ck is disgusting to me, but free country.

"McCain is against MMA Fighting"

Ten years ago that statement would have been true. It is no longer the case.

11

fuck mc cain

12

I hate everyone. They're all jokers. But I'm all for redistributing wealth to the poor rather than redistributing wealth to the rich. So shoot me! I fell for conservative talking points for years. Maybe I should have shot myself back then.

13

Oh, and OG.

14

McCain would do a good job, IMO.

15

VOTE RON PAUL!

All of the other "candidates" have plans to pick up where the current administration left off. Americans deserve better than that. We need someone that understands what the problem is and knows what to do to fix that problem.

Ron Paul is that man.

he is a war hero and def has my vote.  i just hope he wins the primaries.  he was so close last time but wouldnt tell the far right what they wanted to hear(outlawing abortions). he is the most 

pro-CONSTITUTION  feesable candidate running for office.  while i realize he is a politician and his only true job is to get elected, i feel he truly does feel a call to duty. 

anyway im sure im gittin ripped over this, hes been involved in his share of scandals, but what politician hasnt...

if u dont know about him try googling him.  and your favorite candidate.  check their voting records and service histories...

 got a quiz

nobody knows because he doent matter.

I hat eto get political on the UG but I can't resist. The guys saying Obama is like Bush know nothing about him. I can see the argument being made for Hillary, since she has voted with Bush every step of the way. But Obama has not. As well, the majority of his funding comes from small donations. people like me donating $100 here and there.

Also, he was president of the Harvard Law Review while Bush was a C student. He registered more minority voters in South Chicago than had ever voted before (while a college student). He was a professor of Constitutional law for 10 yrs and has stated that he would reverse every decision that bush has passed that violates the constitution, day 1.

Now, I'll admit, he plays the game, but he does so because he knows it's the only way to get elected. Unfortunately, not playing the game is why Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich will not get elected.

Obama is as honest as we will get, and he's pretty honest. the difference is he doesn't raise truths that the public can't grasp (i.e. impeaching Bush and Cheney and dismantling the IRS - two things I think should happen but Joe Public does not understand and finds radical).

That being said, I have respect for McCain, other than his claims against MMA, which may have changed with the new rules. Voting for him is reasonable. But voting for Obama will do more to unite the country and inspire the youth. Either way, don't spread rumors about him being like Bush.

That being said, GO BJ!

The only candidate worse than McCain is Edwards. Edwards is a soulless lawyer who doesnt believe in anything, just wants to be elected so he can be the most powerful man in the world.

McCain, is the least intelligent of ALL candidates, on both sides, and always ends up on the wrong side of issues. He's an awesome person, and seems to be a wonderful human being. But remember we are not voting for nicest person. We need someone competent. 

His worst stuff

1.) McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Reform

2.) His Bush Amnesty policy.

3.) Voted against tax cuts

4.) His views on MMA were uninformed and wrong. His MMA thing is  an example of how he makes decisions without learning all the facts, and then sticks by them.
