John McCain is funny

[bling49]

Man, can this politician double talk himself or what?

as the father of a 17 year old high school senior, john mccain scares the shit out of me.

When it comes to the US economy, healthcare, jobs, education McCain might have some good ideas, when it comes to the Middle East I see no difference between the Bush Administration and a potential McCain administration.

That's the biggest difference betweeen the two and what I am also most concerned with.

Bush won re-election in my opinion mostly onn the rhetoric that John Kerry would be an unwise choice against terrorism and changing leadership during a crisis was unwise.

Well the alternative, sticking with the current leadership proved to be unwise also.

I feel like Bush is THE WORST U.S. president ever.

Maybe 50-years from now that perception could change but it will have a lot to do with several other presidents and what they do in between also.

I still would have felt better giving Kerry a chance, he couldn't have done any worse.

Right now I am not interested in McCain carrying on where Bush left off.

You guys get scared pretty easily if a politician scares you.

I have more worries than who sits in the White House. I have two daughters and I am doing my best to see them get ahead in life when there is drug use all around, predators, careless individuals and a steady stream of close to obscene media being thrown at them all the time.

I won't be voting for Obama. I'll probably vote for McCain. The hyperbole is breath taking at times when it comes to this election. Freddy

in general, i'd agree that there are far more important things to 'worry' about. however, given the fact that this idiot would not hesitate to carry this imperialistic war into iran, n korea or any place else that was a 'perceived' threat to u.s. interests (read financial interests, particularly big oil), it does concern me. someone has to fight these 'wars,' and the armed forces are not exactly beating volunteers off with sticks. it should scare the hell out of anyone with kids.

this is one of the most important elections this nation has ever faced.

[Empire Lindy]

I'd hate to think we'd have to re-institute the draft because some President thought war on Korea was necessary.

Then again, I'd also hate to have half my gross pay go to folks who are too lazy to get off their asses and get a job.

Like I said, I'm not a fan of either of these guys... as usual.

[Red Alert]

Whoever the next guy is better have a better grasp on foreign policy and relations. McCains warhawk attitude is not going to get it done. While we are still dragging our dicks in the dirt in Iraq, Iran is doing things that should REALLY concern the U.S, and if you havent kept up on current events, Russia has stepped back up to the plate and is ready to play Cold War part deux. Current world politics DEMAND that the next guy and his administration have a MUCH better foreign policy than the current dickhead and his pals.

We really need to get the fuck out of Iraq and I hope the current plan of getting the troops out in 2010 or 2011 sticks. As long as we are there will will have one arm tied behind our back.

I wont be voting for McCain. He's old guard and he's a relic of the past. He's not what this country needs.Bush-lite. And no I'm not talking about the beer.

[CardinalJunky]

Do you guys not realize that North Korea is cooperating with us now? Iran is really the main concern at this point and if they should attack Israel, unprovoked, our President better damned well be ready to do something about it. If that makes me a "war hawk", so be it.

I know you guys don't like McCain and I'm not crazy about him, but there is no way I can feel good about voting for a guy who doesn't even have a real record in the senate to run on. He has had some radical associations and is light on experience. I just won't be that reckless with my vote.

I guarantee you, right now, in Denver, there are A LOT of Dems in that building that are having buyers remorse after that energizing and visionary speech Hillary gave.

Why?

[CardinalJunky]

Because they are an ally and have most of the middle east against them. It is our duty to help our friends. Irananian politicians for the destruction and eradication of Israel. Many terror groups want the same thing and have carried out countless acts of destruction to innocents on the streets in Israel.

If a country started a war with Britain, I would expect us to support them also. And don't assume I necessarily am talking just about military support.
