Liberal McCain: Democrats Dream Candidate |
With conservatives vowing not to vote if McCain becomes the republican
presidential candidate, the democrats must be in heaven.
If McCain wins, I'm going to vote for Obama. If Hillary wins I won't vote.
I've had enough of the Clintons.

McCain is McClinton.
Who having faced the most
extreme denial of freedom, Torture,
returned to Washington to capitulate to a lesser Enemy.
A choice between McClinton
is a sanction for CTHILLARY.
Isn't it time? Turn the page. Obama.

I like how right wingers attack McCain even though he believes in the war on
terror and supported Bush's actions and will even support an attack on Iran
(like Hillary). If he really was a liberal he would be more like Ron Paul.
Of course Hillary did the same (she voted for everything bush asked congress
to) but some people still play this democrat vs. Republican game. The only
differences are minor things like immigration and health care.
BTW I'm still not sure what to make of what's going on- well not as sure as
I used to be but I am still 100% sure both parties have very similar
policies. So if that makes me ignorant then I guess I'm ignorant.

Also taken from http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/001710.html has a
list of Senators who voted for it. I guess the Republican's who voted for it
are liberal as well.
In conclusion yes McCain may have made one mistake (in the eye's of
conservatives and anti illegal immigration folks like me) but as I said he
supports the Iraq war, Afghanistan, invading Iran (or rather he will) the
patriot act and all of that stuff. There is no way I would classify him as a
fellow liberal. But i guess if I had to vote for a Republican who had a
chance of winning I would vote for him.

So I guess President Bush is a liberal to is he?
He's not the sort of liberal that we see in the forefront of the Democrats,
but he is about as far as one can be from being "Conservative".
Keep in mind that "evangelist" and "conservative" don't mean the same thing,
they share some opinions but are poles apart on other matters. For example,
true conservatives believe absolutely in the separation of religion and
government. Evangelists and others on their end of the spectrum insist that
government should enforce religious dicta as temporal law. See also 'Roe v
Wade' which evangelists want to overturn with new legislation; true
conservatives likely feel the same way about abortion, but abhor setting a
precedent of the State declaring Scripture to be Law. Leave that sort of
ecclesiastical theocracy to the sharia nations of Islam. But I digress.
On the issues of national sovereignty, the Bush II administration seems to
find no moral footing which allows for sovereign nations. Not content with
allowing Mexico to blatantly invade the USA, he then assures the success of
invasion here by launching invasion in Iraq. Afghanistan was necessary and
there's no question about that, and whether or not the Iraq invasion was
desirable, the legalistic case for our invasion of their sovereign nation
was exceptionally flawed, even moreso than the cases made in Mexico for the
invasion of the US. Mr GW Bush should long since have been impeached and
convicted and removed for dereliction of duty.
True conservatives -- with or without the evangelical influence -- strongly
support a sovereign America that can, and does, defend itself against Invasion.
Liberals, of all stripes, seem to think "eh well what harm can an invasion
do, maybe we can spread around the tax burden".
Also taken from http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/001710.html has
a list of Senators who voted for it. I guess the Republican's who voted
for it are liberal as well.
See above. I made no claim that they were liberal;
In conclusion yes McCain may have made one mistake (in the eye's of
conservatives and anti illegal immigration folks like me) but as I said
he supports the Iraq war, Afghanistan, invading Iran (or rather he will)
the patriot act and all of that stuff. There is no way I would classify
him as a fellow liberal. But i guess if I had to vote for a Republican
who had a chance of winning I would vote for him.
Oh, Romney can easily win against any of the Democrats. McCain is guaranteed
to drive a wedge between Democrats and Republicans, because McCain is a
pro-invasion lackey from any standpoint you choose, all for Amnesty for
illegal aliens and also for keeping the troops locked in a quagmire overseas
where they cannot possibly defend the American Homeland.
The difference between McCain and the Democrats is mostly that the Democrats
oppose the war.

In conclusion yes McCain may have made one mistake (in the eye's of
conservatives and anti illegal immigration folks like me) but as I
said he supports the Iraq war, Afghanistan, invading Iran (or rather
he will) the patriot act and all of that stuff. There is no way I
would classify him as a fellow liberal. But i guess if I had to vote
for a Republican who had a chance of winning I would vote for him.
Oh, Romney can easily win against any of the Democrats. McCain is
guaranteed to drive a wedge between Democrats and Republicans,
because McCain is a pro-invasion lackey from any standpoint you
choose, all for Amnesty for illegal aliens and also for keeping the
troops locked in a quagmire overseas where they cannot possibly
defend the American Homeland.
The difference between McCain and the Democrats is mostly that the
Democrats oppose the war.
Correct. That is why, if McCain is the Repub, I'll vote Democrat - at
least that wasteful war will end.
I have heard so many republicans say that. I cant help but wonder if it
is no accident that McCain will turn others to Hilary. Call me a crazed
conspiracy theorist if you will.
I'd guess that might explain who's contributing to McCain by the great big
piles, where before Florida it looked as if that would be his last primary.

"End All Immigration Now"
With conservatives vowing not to vote if McCain becomes the
republican
presidential candidate, the democrats must be in heaven.
If McCain wins, I'm going to vote for Obama. If Hillary wins I
won't vote.
I've had enough of the Clintons.
McCain is McClinton.
Who having faced the most
extreme denial of freedom, Torture,
returned to Washington to capitulate to a lesser Enemy.
A choice between McClinton
is a sanction for CTHILLARY.
Isn't it time? Turn the page. Obama.
CTHILLARY.
VISUALIZE EVIL TRIUMPHANT.
She has SUCH sights to show you.

I like how right wingers attack McCain even though he believes in
the war on terror and supported Bush's actions and will even support
an attack on Iran (like Hillary). If he really was a liberal he
would be more like Ron Paul. Of course Hillary did the same (she
voted for everything bush asked congress to) but some people still
play this democrat vs. Republican game. The only differences are
minor things like immigration and health care.
BTW I'm still not sure what to make of what's going on- well not as
sure as I used to be but I am still 100% sure both parties have very
similar policies. So if that makes me ignorant then I guess I'm
ignorant.
You don't think that signing on with Ted Kennedy to offer AMNESTY to
20 millions of illegal aliens constitutes being a liberal?
Lots of people characterize is as nearly treasonable.
You mean
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Immigration_Reform_Act_of_2007
"However, at the urging of President Bush, the bill was brought back
for discussion in the Senate as bill S. 1639 on June 25.[4] On June
26, a motion to proceed passed the Senate, by a margin of 64-35"
So I guess President Bush is a liberal to is he?
He's not the sort of liberal that we see in the forefront of the
Democrats, but he is about as far as one can be from being
"Conservative".
Keep in mind that "evangelist" and "conservative" don't mean the same
thing, they share some opinions but are poles apart on other matters.
For example, true conservatives believe absolutely in the separation of
religion and government. Evangelists and others on their end of the
spectrum insist that government should enforce religious dicta as
temporal law. See also 'Roe v Wade' which evangelists want to overturn
with new legislation; true conservatives likely feel the same way about
abortion, but abhor setting a precedent of the State declaring
Scripture to be Law. Leave that sort of ecclesiastical theocracy to the
sharia nations of Islam. But I digress.

Dam's also support big government- something which I oppose. I don't think
the government should be involved in all aspects of our lives and I also
disagree with raising taxes. I'm not a McCain fan so I'm not sure where he
stands on national health care, etc.

Yeah but because McCain seems to be more moderate than most of the
candidates I think more moderate indipendants (and maybe even center left
ones) will be more likely to vote for him. Romney seems to right wing for
moderates to vote for him while Hilary is way more center left than her
other Democrats. I think its going to be hard to defeat Hilary especally
with the hIlary attack machine. But I guess the republicans have there own
attack machines.
I dont like McCain anymore. Ever since I found out about his racial slur.
But I still predict the election will be between John McCain and Hilary
Clinton. I'm not sure who there running mates will be. It will eather be
Huckabee or Romney and I know a lot of Americans wont feel easy about a
morman being the VP so perhaps McCain/Romney and Clinton/Edwards.
However if Romney wins any tickers on super tuesday it could be
Romney/McCain.
The difference between McCain and the Democrats is mostly that the
Democrats oppose the war.
Yep even though they voted for it (well the ones in congress and the Senate
anyway) the only one who didn't vote for it is a Republican. At least as far
as I can tell. I still say McCain is way more right wing than the dem's.
Also does he support national health care and all that stuff as well?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seperation_of_church_and_state#Modern
The idea of separating the church and state is often credited to the
writings of the British philosopher John Locke, which deeply influenced the
drafting of the United States Constitution.[7] According to his principle of
the social contract, Locke argued that the government lacked authority in
the realm of individual conscience, as this was something rational people
could not cede to the government for it or others to control. For Locke,
this created a natural right in the liberty of conscience, which he argued
must therefore remain inviolable by any government authority. These views on
religious tolerance and the importance of individual conscience, along with
his social contract, became influential in the American colonies.
The concept was implicit in the flight of Roger Williams from religious
oppression in Massachusetts to found what became Rhode Island on the
principle of state neutrality in matters of faith.[citation needed]
The phrase "separation of church and state" is derived from a letter written
by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to a group identifying themselves as the Danbury
Baptists. In that letter, referencing the First Amendment of the United
States Constitution, Jefferson writes:
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man
& his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship,
that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions,
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people
which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus
building a wall of separation between Church & State.
http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9806/danpre.html
So you are right. There is no mention of a seperation of church and state in
the Consitution. However if is is a liberal view are you saying the founding
fathers were liberals?
