why vote for mccain - - vanished - - where did it go?

Published Jul. 24, 2008

I was about to post "why I support and would vote for McCain" and it vanished.

There are any number of good reasons to vote for McCain over Obama and this latest dog and pony show abroad by the opposition seals the deal for me.

In Obama's speech today he said:

"The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians and Muslims and Jews cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down."

Countries with the most - - sounds like USA "cannot stand",  and I have no intersst in tearing down any walls with any group (read Muslims) of people that will fly planes into buildings in my country and kill thousands of American Citizens.

A person wanting to build some sort of bridge with these people does not stand for what I believe.

What say you? . . .

The problem with Obama is that he's not really as bright as he wants you to think he is. He's for socialist medicine which has proven itself over and over to be a horrible choice for a country. Your taxes go through the roof and your healthcare goes in the toilet. Corruption in the government and the medical field increases because people will bribe for care. It is atrocious. Yet liberal Americans refuse to use their brain in this matter. They see something for "free" and salivate their brains away!!

Liberals are good Americans and do fight in wars right WW2 or wrong(Iraq) so get a this war was/is really an invasion which could have been prevented had GW( Mission Accomplished) Bush waited for the UN 3 months time and we would have not had the horror we have now. Obama will not start a sad useless war that has hurt us Obama will not cost us $252.000.000 a minute for this Iraq oil monger escapade.

Obama 0'8

Something I found interesting was all the lavish praise Obama laid on the Germans and the Americans who fought and died to protect Europe, but every point of praise to our troops for their brave and valient efforts to save Iraq, were issued almost grudgingly. I think it was very insulting to our troops, kind of like saying,"Ya'll did a good job, BUT..." And don't think our troops haven't noticed...I'm a member of a large network of people who work with our troops and our veterans, and they see it, too. Hillary would have been a better Commander-In-Chief, than Obama...

Thanks

e94de :-)

"So, is Tmedlin Raleigh Golo?"

We just happened to be posting about the same topic at the same time primarily due to some junk another blogger was slinging.

Sorry I can't remember the other bloggers name, it had an e and some numbers e98 or something.

So, is Tmedlin Raleigh Golo? I don't understand the way this place works...just can't get it.

As for what Obama's vision is, I don't know and don't know how anyone knows. That's his weakness. Age is McCain's. Yet, for both the dreaminess and experience are their great assets at the same time.

My two biggest reason for voting for McCain are (1) the fact that I just don't think Obama is going to be able to deliver on his promises and (2) I don't even want him to go through with his promises because he is so ultra-liberal! His track record in the senate is very clear about this. Name anything pro-tax, pro-abortion, pro-gay, or anti-religion he's right behind it. Obama is a charismatic speaker and America has embraced his message of hope, change, and prosperity, and who can blame them? But when he gets in office he's going to face the same obstacles as other politicians and be subject to the same media slings and arrows. He may try to improve this country (and who knows, he might succeed) but I feel more confident with McCain's experience.

Sorry, I was trying to put modifications in italics - it's back...
