A few good reasons to why McCain/Palin should not be elected.

[SigmaMu]

McCain is not only a loose canon but is about as dumb as a bag of rocks. (Might even be dumber than George W. Bush)
Neither Palin nor McCain have any economic experience, they do not have any foreign policy experience either. The only so called experience John McCain has is.. his so called military experience and this would only further the Bush/Cheney agenda/doctrine.

PS. 'Drill Baby Drill' is not a major solution to our gas and oil prices and war is not the answer to solve our foreign differences.

"He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly."

YouTube - John McCain = 4 More Years = McBush

Obama would be best but it would sure be a crazy world if McCain got in.

For that reason im pulling for McCain.

I'm hoping Obama wins too (he won't), but the same criticisms could be leveled again him. He has almost zero experience in anything governmental.

McCain in an article about healthcare just published. This was written just before the financial system blew up so this is what he actually was thinking before that :

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.


American Academy of Actuaries: Contingencies Magazine home page

It's a .pdf file


So before the financial system blew up McCain was calling for the healthcare system to be deregulated just like the GOP did with the financial system. With "innovate products", just like the ones that have been so successful in securitising mortgages.

I AM WORKING WITH MR. PHIL GRAM, LOBBYIST FOR UBS, WHO WILL BE MY REPLACEMENT AS MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY IN JANUARY. AS A SENATOR, YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS THE LEADER OF THE AMERICAN BANKING DEREGULATION MOVEMENT IN THE 1990S. THIS TRANSACTIN IS 100% SAFE.

THIS IS A MATTER OF GREAT URGENCY. WE NEED A BLANK CHECK. WE NEED THE FUNDS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WE CANNOT DIRECTLY TRANSFER THESE FUNDS IN THE NAMES OF OUR CLOSE FRIENDS BECAUSE WE ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER SURVEILLANCE. MY FAMILY LAWYER ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON WHO WILL ACT AS A NEXT OF KIN SO THE FUNDS CAN BE TRANSFERRED.

PLEASE REPLY WITH ALL OF YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, IRA AND COLLEGE FUND ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND THOSE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO WALLSTREETBAILOUT@TREASURY.GOV SO THAT WE MAY TRANSFER YOUR COMMISSION FOR THIS TRANSACTION.

If anybody watches the debate on Friday I'd be interested to hear your opinion on it.

McCain votes some 80% of the time with his party and yet he's seen as "more of the same" it just blows my mind because the majority of people in the house and senate vote 95-98% of the time with their own party.


But don't let me change your minds. Let's vote for another guy who has no experience at all and just hope for the best...just because he doesn't agree with W doesn't mean he's got all the right answers...the complicated political system doesn't have yes or no answers and even if you are correct in your beliefs you have obsticles to overcome inspite of whether you are correct or not.



But hey that's just me...I would have voted for McCain in 2000 and I'll vote for him in 2008.

He said himself,not anybody but John McCain,said "I voted with the President 90 to 95 percent of the time"
Great,more failed policy
Name one thing,one,that the Bush administration has done right

I am from the Uk and the one thing I really like about George Bush is his dog. I adore Scottish Terriers and would love to own his dog, so cute.
As for Bush he is a complete knob. McCain, that guy has just got to get over 'Nam, it was over 30 years ago, yes you were imprisoned but you do not hear Mandela banging on about it like you do. Got to add, that Palin is worth looking at though, McCain has taste.
As for Obama, what on earth has he ever done to qualify him as a leader, a self obssessed man, who thinks the world of himself, read his two book as proof, having said that, I wish we had someone like Wright at a church round here, people should pay to watch him.
Obamas biggest error was disowning Wright, he should have made him his VP choice.

You mean other then 7 years as an Illinois state senator(no small feet there) and being a US Senator?
What?,he should have been the mayor of a town of 7,000people?

But we all do what we can

Yes those are small FEATS ..... Obama has been compared to plenty of politicians like JFK for example well John Kennedy ran for President after being in the House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 and was US Senator from 1953-1960 therefore giving JFK 13 years on the NATIONAL LEVEL of politics.....meanwhile "Barry" has been a community organizer...oh but what was that little saying they use "Jesus was a community organizer"....oh I didn't realize Jesus cared about extorting money from the Romans, wow they really are alike




*and JFK also served as an officer in WWII where he was a decorated hero

[El Kabong]

Palin is running for VICE President....and I'm not voting for her, I'm voting for McCain...there is a difference. And yes she is inexperienced and doesn't deserve the VP nod....but hey that's just me being real, I can admit when one of my people isn't worthy of office but you guys Nah, Barrack is our AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PRESIDENT
