I'm voting for McCain

Discussion in 'Politics' started by The Kin, Aug 2, 2008.

  1. He could change his mind about the proposed taxes. Remember in the New Hampshire ABC Presidential Primary Debates when Obama stated clearly he'd tax households with incomes over $150k an extra 5%?

  2. I doubt he said exactly that, but the war's gotta be paid for, so yes, taxes are going to go up -- and by more than they would have if the Republicans hadn't been giving out the fake tax rebates because now interest on the debt has to be paid.

    All that Iraqi "freedom" ain't free.

  3. I'm all for abortion and same-sex marriage; anything that will stop the multiplication of stupid people.

  4. I agree that its all just a referendum on Obama. Doesn't really matter who is running against him. Most people like Obama, and believe he is a damn smart cookie.

    Problem is, how many people trust the guy. Seems to me he is just pure ambition. He wants to be President, and will say anything to get there, depending on who he is speaking with. He scares me.

    His wife scares me even more.

  6. I can understand. At least Obama is half white so he is only half as scary as his wife.

  7. That was an absolutely retarded reply. I have zero against Obama's race, and would vote for Colin Powell in a heartbeat.

    Its interesting that Obama supporters are always the ones that bring up the race issue.

  8. Obama has reversed pretty much EVERY view he took in the primaries, which in turn has his liberal supporters up in arms.

    The exception being that he wants to greatly expand the role of government.

    There are hundreds of articles on the topic now. Its going to over shadow him even more than it did Kerry. The best one in my view being the flip flop on Cuba. Was constantly in favor of ending the embargo, siting it many times as a failure. Then he finally addressed a Cuban-American crowd in Florida, realizing he has to have their vote to take the state. Result? Full 100% reversal on Cuban Embargo. First time he ever said that as well.

    Geez!!!

  9. Oh really? How retarded was this:
    Since when has it been ok to attack a candidate's wife? She's not running for an office, AFAIK.

  10. That's true. Race is the big issue in this election. Don't pretend that it isn't. Buchanan practically called on McCain to go for white racist votes. And McCain is following that advice pretty closely. Look at the ad with Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton. It's not an accident that he puts the images of two young white blond girls together with a menacing black man. He's trying to achieve the same effect as the "call me, Harold" ad by that idiot TN senator.

    It's very simple. If all McCain wanted to show was celebrities, Spears and Hilton don't even register in top 100. Number 1 on the fortune top 100 celebrity is Opra Winfrey, and No 2 is Tiger Woods. Do you think McCain's ad would have the same effect by using Winfrey and Woods (or Michael Jordan)?

    Don't give me this innocent looking BS. You know and I know that there is a racist undertone in this election. The difference is, Obama is confronting it head on, and McCain is trying to be deceptive.
