John McCain - Page 5
I do not think we need another person in the white house who is going to keep us in Iraq for the next 150 years. The fact that he is old and will probably be senile or fall asleep during some important meeting is worrisome to me. I hope we do not vote this guy into the white house.

I don't appreciate anyone currently running for president, but of the choices I do not see anyone else but McCain for the office. Definitely not Obama and neither Clinton.

Pro-Life Leaders Say John McCain Shouldn't Pick Charlie Crist for VP
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Leading pro-life advocates say one of the top considerations for John McCain for a vice-presidential running mate should be left off of his short list. They're concerned Florida Gov. Charlie Crist isn't sufficiently pro-life and would not motivate the base of the Republican Party in the way McCain needs to win. Crist, the governor of the presidential battleground state with the most electoral votes, would be a natural pick for a GOP candidate on that basis alone. The governor endorsed McCain during the primary and his victory in the Sunshine State was seen as confirmation that he had emerged as the likely Republican nominee. With both points in mind, McCain may select Governor Crist as his vice-presidential running mate. Yet, some pro-life advocates hope that doesn't happen. Connie Mackay, a senior vice president at the Family Research Council told CBN news her group has concerns about Crist. "While he claims to be pro-life he has not been an advocate"¦We would not be supportive of his candidacy for Vice-President"¦I think it would not help him," she explained. "McCain needs to continue to try and energize the base. I think that would certainly not energize the base and I think I could go one step further and say it would de-energize the base."

| My Friends, Tonight, we can say with confidence the primary season is over, and the general election campaign has begun. Each American faces a decision this election and the choice between my candidacy and Senator Obama's could not be more clear. This is a change election. But the choice is between the right change and the wrong change; between going forward and going backward. The right change recognizes that many of the policies and institutions of our government have failed. The right kind of change will initiate widespread and innovative reforms in almost every area of government policy from energy to taxes to government spending and the military. The right change will stop impeding Americans from doing what they have always done, overcome obstacles and turn challenges into opportunities.Today, I humbly ask you to join my campaign for the right change, as we move forward together as a nation. |
This is from an email I received from the GOP. Apparently, somehow I got on the mailing list. And so it begins.

Media Coverage of John McCain Distorts His Opposition to Abortion
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- With Barack Obama and John McCain competing for the White House this November, there is a clear contrast on the contentious issue of abortion. But you wouldn't know it by reading the news coverage of the two -- with the media underplaying Obama's pro-abortion views and McCain's abortion opposition. As LifeNews.com previously profiled, the Associated Press condemned Obama's long-time record in promoting unlimited abortions into a single statement saying he "supports abortion rights." Now AP, and another media outlet, are confusing voters about where McCain stands. However, McCain has previously explained he favors a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortions and has indicated he will not change the Republican Party platform which calls for such an amendment. On the November 19, 2006, edition of ABC's This Week, host George Stephanopoulos said to McCain: "You're for a constitutional amendment banning abortion with some exceptions for life and rape and incest." McCain replied: "Rape, incest, and the life of the mother, yes." In addition, on the January 30, 2000, edition of NBC's Meet the Press, host Tim Russert asked McCain: "A constitutional amendment to ban all abortions?" McCain replied: "Yes, sir." Russert then said: "You're for that?" McCain responded: "Yes, sir."

US Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who once sang in jest about bombing Iran, today reacted to a report of rising US cigarette exports to the country by saying it may be "a way of killing 'em". Senator McCain, known for acerbic comments and for sometimes firing verbally from the hip, was responding to a report that US exports to Iran rose tenfold during President George W. Bush's term in office despite hostility between the two states. A rise in cigarette sales was a big part of that, according to an Associated Press analysis of seven years of US trade figures. "Maybe that's a way of killing 'em," Senator McCain said to reporters during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "I meant that as a joke, as a person who hasn't had a cigarette in 28 years, 29 years," he added, laughing. He declined further comment on the report. At a campaign meeting in South Carolina last year the Arizona senator, asked if there was a plan to attack Iran, began his answer with a variation on the lyrics of a well-known pop song, Barbara Ann. "You know that old Beach Boys song, Bomb Iran?" he said, then sang "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" before discussing what he considered Iran's serious threat to Israel and international security.... |
