The McCain Thread

[souvlaki]

I would be quite embarassed to be a part of his campaign right now.

I'd be quite embarrassed to be a part of Obama's campaign if he somehow manages to blow it against this sorry excuse for a candidate. Hell, I'll be embarrassed as an Obama SUPPORTER.

People who resort to mindless name calling on both sides of the political aisle are just as childish as those they criticize, Norm.

I think if his name wasn't Superman I wouldn't care.

He is an insult to the name of one of my favorite fictional characters, as well as an American Icon.

Good first step towards energy independence.

Nice ideal but it will never happen. Just where does he plan on getting this $2 billion a year?

I think it's a good idea in theory...but I'm very concerned as to how it would be funded. Two billion dollars per year isn't exactly chump change. (Especially with the tremendous deficit this country already has.)

If he plans to cut earmarks, he should be able to find $2 billion a year easily.

I hope Obama comes up with a similar plan for us to reinvest in nuclear power.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that McCain, the man who was tortured and held indef. in Vietnam for years supports torture in Gitmo and fascist policies that refuse giving people fair trials. I saw McCain call it one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our history...damn them for holding up the Constitution and not rolling over and dying for executive power. But I guess he has a point. It sure is a lot worse than Dred v. Scott for example.

What a funny world.

We just sent 165 billion for our troops in a useless war...there is money somewhere

Of course there are always ways of getting money, but I don't believe that it should ever be at the expense of our troops.

Whether you supported this war or not, this President or not...the troops should never be without our gratitude and support.

I didn't say they shouldn't I just made the example that if we need money...we can get it. And look at how long they had been over there without proper support Hell, a lot of troops a couple of years ago had no body armor or helmets I think we should be getting them out of there instead of sinking money into a political pit. I don't think any person with half a brain would not support the war and at the same time not support the troops.

I didn't mean to imply that you thought that. I'm just saying that money or support should never be taken away from the troops.

And I don't think anybody would disagree with you But back to the original topic...McCain could easily get 2 billion a year and I am sure a bulk of that could come from investors.

 

[That'ssuper!]

I was for Obama for quite awhile, but after reading an article in which his high taxes may get oil companies to pull their investments from the U.S. it seems like a terrorfying reality that gas prices could be nine or ten dollars because of a more limited supply. I mean, there are so many other places that they can invest in and hardly have a thought about Americans in a failing market. Like letting them drill off the American coast will have serious reprocussions will the laws as strict as they are for environmental concerns. Most of the rigs are going to be 120-200 miles out to sea looking for oil, there is no way that the tourism will be disrupted, they won't even see the rigs. Rigs in the Bering Sea is the same kind which will be built in these coastlines, they won't falter. I am now for John McCain.

I don't understand how anyone can vote for McCain. Republican or Democrat, he just seems like a rotten untrustworthy human being.

 

[DorkyFresh]

to a political noob, he is. however, he has a long, legitamate political and military history.....at least, pre-Bush.

When President Obama ends the Iraq conflict,the money can go there.
