Also- including a link to a website or blog is not an unqualified endorsement of everything written therein. There are a lot of different people with different views that range the political and ideological spectrum who agree that John McCain would make a horrible president. Don't be confused if different blogs I link to have different reasons for opposing McCain's candidacy and don't assume I share all their views. This blog is about one issue, that of John McCain's presidential candidacy, and if we have differing reasons for opposing it, let's explore them as well as what we have in common and thereby enrich our understanding of politics and the proper role and direction of the United States and its government.

I cannot believe that my party that has supported family values and conservative initiatives has John McCain as its standard bearer. I could never vote for him. His ads all ask if Obama can lead.
I would point out that he has shown us how he leads in his personal life and as a senator.
the slogan should be
John McCain ready to lead by infidelity and assisting felons.
these are not the wild character assassinations that I have seen for many candidates on the web. These are facts. In case you missed them, I have placed them below:
But it wasn't until 2000 that McCain, possibly emboldened by Clinton's survival of his scandals, became the first confessed adulterer to have the nerve to run. Now, just a few years after infidelity was considered a dealbreaker for a presidential candidate, the party that presents itself as the arbiter of virtue is fielding an admitted adulterer as its standard bearer.
McCain was still married and living with his wife in 1979 while courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich." McCain divorced his wife, who had raised their three children while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, then launched his political career with his new wife's family money. In 2000, McCain managed to deflect media questioning about his first marriage with a deft admission of responsibility for its failure. It's possible that the age of the offense and McCain's charmed relationship with the press will pull him through again, but should we let this go by?
The senate ethics found that his conduct was improper helping Charles Keating who stole millions from middle class persons and then had the government bail his savings and loan out. He finally became a convicted felon but McCain backed him and helped him all he could.
Talk about unethical behavior and bad judgment!
Yes John McCain can lead. He will lead us by infidelity and assisting felons. Not the kind of resume I want for my president.
And you should see his views on government!
;)
Thanks, Nick. I agree that McCain has shown that he's pretty lousy when it comes to virtue. It's an unfortunate fact that so many of our politicians have so much dirty laundry. Power attracts scumbags.
US government to punish responsible homeowners!--- We can not allow John McCain or Barack Obama to push for a mortgage buy back or principle readjustment bailout for main street. The $700 billion bailout is bad enough for most Americans to stomach, but now you're going to watch your neighbor have his/her principle magically.... continued at ---- www.mortgagebreakdown.com
First of all, I visit these blogs to see if there is any legitimate reason for the vitriol towards McCain/Palin... still waiting for that reason...
Nick...WOW, infidelity almost 30 yrs ago. His ex- wife forgave him a long time ago, why can't you? I'm 34, I wonder what kind of dirt you can dig up on me from 30 yrs ago. I probably didn't play nicely with others!
I'm not even going to comment on the Charles Keating issue. I think Barney Frank and Chris Dodd along with Obama, have put McCains treachery to shame. The ridiculious "Bail Out" is evidence of that.
Get a clue please!
I cannot believe you are truely a conservative with these idiotic references. I wasn't thrilled with McCain being the nominee because frankly he's not conservative enough for me; but, I would vote for him 100 times over when the alternative is a FAR LEFT, elitist, socialist, baby killing (read up on Obama's vote in 2003 against medical attention for babies of botched abortions), racist, anti-American Jr. Senator, from I don't know where.
"I could never vote for him" (John McCain) REALLY???
You'd better wake up. As I said before I don't believe you are truly a conservative; however, if by some small misguided chance you are, be prepared to reap what you sow. You obviously have no idea how bad things can get.
THE ISSUE IS ABOUT ELECTING A TERRORIST HUGGING BACKROOM CHICAGO POLITICIAN TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND. WHEN OBAMA IS THROUGH SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY THIS ELECTION WILL BE THE LAST THING WE WILL BE DISCUSSING.
FURTHER TO THAT. DUE TO ALL OF OBAMA'S PAST ASSOCIATIONS, HE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ENTRY TO EITHER THE FBI OR THE CIA, BUT BECAUSE OF A FLAW IN OUR GOVERNMENTS CRITERIA OBAMA IS ALLOWED TO BE IN CHARGE OF THESE SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS! OF COURSE OBAMA WILL BE HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH ALL OF OUR COUNTRY'S ENEMIES WITHOUT PRE-CONDITIONS. HE WILL MOST LIKELY CONVEY OUR INNER MOST SECRETS TO THEM. WOE IS US!
THE ISSUE IS ABOUT ELECTING A TERRORIST HUGGING BACKROOM CHICAGO POLITICIAN TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND. WHEN OBAMA IS THROUGH SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY AND REALIZING THE DREAMS OF HIS MENTORS ALL THE LIBERALS WILL BE SITTING IN DARK ROOMS ASKING THEMSELVES "WHAT HAVE WE DONE!"
JUST THINK: DUE TO ALL OF OBAMA'S PAST ASSOCIATIONS, HE WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ENTRY INTO EITHER THE FBI OR THE CIA, BUT BECAUSE OF A SERIOUS FLAW IN OUR GOVERNMENTS CRITERIA FOR QUALIFYING TO BE PRESIDENT, OBAMA IS ALLOWED TO BE IN CHARGE OF THESE SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS!
OBAMA WILL BE HAPPY TO SIT DOWN WITH ALL OF OUR COUNTRY'S ENEMIES WITHOUT PRE-CONDITIONS.
HE WILL MOST LIKELY CONVEY OUR INNER MOST SECRETS TO THEM WITH GLEE!
WOE IS US!
