All About McCain

innerSpaceman · 08-06-2008, 09:59 AM

Ok ... so scaeagles claims he doesn't like McCain every bit as much as he doesn't like Obama. But all we read is how he doesn't like Obama. Day in and day out.

Pfft, I'm not a big Obama fan myself .... but scaeagles' constant battering is bordering on obsessive.

So let's put his money where his mouth is ... and here's an outlet to hear all about his dislike of John McCain.

(and, ya know, everybody's else's thoughts on the Replublican candidate for President)

Obama is the candidate getting all the attention, so it is natural that my attention would go there as well.

McCain - Feingold campaign finance reform.

The Keating 5. I think he's dishonest.

Illegal immigration and McCain - Kennedy.

His temper and over all demeanor.

His stance on tax cuts (which has changed, but I don't trust him on it)

His stance on drilling (which has changed, but I don't trust him on it)

That's the short list off the top of my head. The only thing I like about him is I think he "gets it" (meaning we pretty much agree) on national defense.

So, were you against the war before you were for it, too?

scaeagles · 08-06-2008, 10:20 AM

I'm not sure what you are referencing, but it wouldn't surprise me if I had disagreements with him on that as well.

That's another one.

You aren't going to find me complimenting McCain. Very often anyway.

What is it he "gets"?

The difference between Sunni and Shia... Nope, that can't be it.

Timelines? Nope, he's got big problems with those.

The definition of "defense"? No

Attacking another sovereign nation, without provocation, is not national defense. Having no plan on leaving said nation, and saying we will be there for 100 years, is insanity.

He's had trouble discerning between Taliban and Al-Qaeda too.

Well, only insanity if you don't count Korea, Japan, Germany or any of the other places we've established the military outposts of our world-wide empire.

I'm no McCain fan ... but I hate people's statements being misrepresented. OF COURSE we will have a permanent military presence in Iraq. That's going to happen whether McCain wins or not.

But, yeah, he's still a dunce on timelines, defense, countries, tribes, and the internet.

Sorry. Gulf War I, widely accepted as...umm...acceptable, ended not with a treaty, but with a cease fire. Granted, we didn't invade Iraq because of violations of it, but the violations were not only provocation, but justification for the invasion.

I realize I am in the minority, but I think my logic is sound.

And I will say I find it somewhat amusing that out of my lengthy laundry list of what I disagree with him on the only comments are about what I agree with him on.
