McCain – In His Cloud of Smug
January 30th, 2008
Reason #132 I’m not going to vote for McCain, and sit this one out if he’s the nominee.
H/T: HotAir.
As Allah says:
I’m now in the position of having come around to like Romney. He’s decent, smart and fair and I think he would make a fine president. And I dislike McCain all over again. He’s a smarmy beltway insider who just lied to everyone who was watching while he smeared a good man, flipped on his own awful legislation and belittled free enterprise. This man wants to lead the party of Reagan?
Ugh…McCain…the only thing that sours my stomach more is American Idol.

Don’t forget, you can’t sit it out if McCain is the nominee. You have to vote for a Representative, and maybe a Senator!
I had faith that you would not try to spin this into something wonderful. You once again illustrate that my high regard for you and your adherence to principle has a solid foundation. I share your misery and resolve not to endorse that traitor with our party label.
I guess it might be time to go real politik on Mc-”Cain” and his Cainites. Vote for the Democratic candidate as a wake up call to the Republican Party. Personally if I were to exercise my vote in this manner I would make darn sure that the Republican Party knew I did so because they were not offering a common sense option. The logic being that if we are voting for idiots we might as well vote for the party that is the best at being truly idiotic.
Vote Not Mc-”Cain” in 2008

“He’s a smarmy beltway insider who just lied to everyone who was watching while he smeared a good man” That was a smear, but what goes around comes around.
Romney is my douche bag of the week every week. “Facts are stubborn things.” Running as an “executive” president and saying you are going to fight illegal immigration is an oxymoron, as the executives got us into our immigration mess in the first place. Since NAFTA was signed, more than half of small Mexican farmers had to close up shop because they cannot compete with the agri-gangters that moved in. Under NAFTA, WE PAY $25 billion in taxes a year in subsidies to Midwestern corporate farmers to export two thirds of Mexico’s corn – at inflated prices.
Bill Clinton ALREADY militarized the border after he signed NAFTA. They used to come and pick our veggies, serve our pina coladas by the pool deck during vacation season and go back home. Now it’s too risky so they stay. Under NAFTA, the Mexican Peasant Law that gave land to peasants was revoked. So transnational corporations are now allowed to buy the land from the Mexican government and evict the people from their homes and small farms – farms they have been living on for decades.
The trans-national corporations that are invading Mexico are also building dams to run their big factories. Levi jeans is poisoning the water because there is no EPA and the die is ruining the rivers – and literally making people sick. The dams are drying up the rivers for the indigenous peoples, and forcing them into the cities, where there are no jobs, so they come here. People want them to learn English, but they cannot even write in Spanish. They didn’t mind being poor, they CHOOSE to be indigenous but when you take their water supplies, they simply cannot survive.
Free trade with China has destroyed EVERY small toy shoe and textile owner in Mexico, as Mexico is building more Wal-marts under NAFTA each day. True story, Wal-Mart baggers are very young children who don’t get hourly pay – they are paid in tips only! Under NAFTA, The UAW is negotiating away A LOT. The auto industry did not expect that, they expected them to put up a fight so they can blame them and move to Mexico. Now they are offering $70K a pop to make them go away. The auto industry is not broke, they want to leave and get slave labor wages in Mexico. GM started Delphi Corp. purposely to file BK to unload the pensions on American taxpayers, as this is able to happen under US corp. BK laws.
They now don’t want to pay California dock workers to unload the crap from China, so NAFTA now allows for the American deserters to ship it to Mexico, let them unload it and let their truck drivers deliver the merchandise to US businesses.
The problem with the “free” market is it’s the biggest welfare entitlement program in the United States. There is no reason if they are real businessmen that we should have to foot the bill for their business endeavors, and bail them out when they fail. The best example right now is the housing market.
I wonder is Flip Romney is aware that illegal immigrants are allowed to do all sorts of jobs Americans WONT DO – like fight in Iraq and Afghanistan! Would he be willing to put his money where his mouth is, and on day one – deport five of those military heroes, and send his five sons in their place? This is what you get with an “executive” president. The military to them is no different than the people who clean their homes, employees in their “private sector.” Or in Romney’s case: the illegal immigrants who cut his lawn.
Maybe you don’t like John McCain, but at least we know for a fact he thinks our military is a higher position than even the president. Romney should have been disqualified the minute he said that his five able sons serving on his campaign was the same thing as serving in the military. See my point?
Yes, Romney’s kids are adults, but if what he says is true about who and what he is, the attitude of his children would be that they would be volunteering to go and fight, as McCain’s sons are.
Bush’s tax cuts have bankrupted our country, and Mitt runs on this? The Death Tax only affects ONE FOURTH of ONE PERCENT of Americans. And the people rich enough to get those tax breaks are the same people who rape and pillage our treasury with additional subsidies – that are paid on the backs of average Americans. As the world’s leading consumer, they wouldn’t have a nickel to run and bury like neurotic squirrels if it wasn’t for us. Bush also knows that our consumerism is what keeps this country afloat. That’s why he told us to “keep shopping” after 9/11 that’s why he allowed the mortg companies to give loans to people who couldn’t pay them, and then let them use their equity to buy crap from Wal-Mart. That’s why now he’s playing the “Go knock yourselves out” with a $600 shopping spree for all Americans. As the “first MBA pres” that doesn’t make much sense. That’s like having a two drink minimum an AA meeting. He just doesn’t want the market to crash before he leaves office.
Haven’t we had enough of the huge barrage neo-fascist CEO’s running the country? Isn’t it time we had a commander in chief who’s actually been an Indian before? That has a proven record of making Congressman who wastes our money look like fools?
You simply cannot sit this out guys – if you do – you hand the Clinton’s the keys to the Kingdom AGAIN. She blames Bush for all of this, but that’s not true, the legislation her husband signed gave Bush the right under the law to do what he did. Bill Clinton invaded Bosnia without congressional approval, where is that story? The Clinton’s are EVIL. If you think McCain takes away your freedom, what do you think they will do? All you have to do is look at what they’ve done.
Erin, I never see your point…rarely do you have a coherent one.
Tangent, jump, tangent, jump.
No Erin it is not US=bad it is the Mexico=bad. I am bitter at how much the US has done privately and publically for Mexico for so long, all they do is f’ it up and then blame US for their problems.
Now the Chinese are under cutting the Mexicans and for the most part doing a better job. Tough duty in the real world…
A 4 word response for Cainites and dogma bound republicans.
Hillary or Obama 2012!!!
