Dump McCain!!

John McCain is going to get steamrolled on November 4th by an empty suit (Obama), and there is really nothing that McCain can do to iron out the wrinkles in his own already “empty suit”.

I, being someone who will not "pick flies out of sh*t" in my choice for a presidential candidate, neither McCain nor Obama is qualified for our nations' most important job. McCain will have to choose a real dope for his running mate in order to prevent being overshadowed and having his lack of substance revealed.

The best thing that we can do is NOT nominate him at all and choose Ron Paul instead at the GOP convention in September!! Ron Paul is more than qualified, has a plan that will work and will lead our nation honorably. Ron Paul can raise the money, get people excited and has the best chance of beating Obama of all the other Republican candidates. The GOP would be foolish not to nominate Ron Paul! This will also explain why Ron Paul’s “ Rally for the Republic “ will most definitely overshadow John McCain’s presumptive nomination at the dull Republican National Convention down the street.

It's not too late to admit that McCain is a bad choice and to remedy the situation. If no one is excited about McCain now, they surely won't be two months from now. Get the geezer out now so we won't have a 1996 repeat of Bob Dole! McCain can't win if he doesn't have the support of the conservative base and nothing is going to change that, plain and simple! There will not be a last minute reprieve by disgruntled Republicans this time around to save him when most people are finally rejecting the worn-out lesser of two evils argument. If McCain remains as the nominee until November, he will destroy the Republican Party and run its members out to most likely join the Libertarian or Constitution Party, or simply drop out of the voting process all together. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad scenario as long as these people are not continuing to do the same thing that yields the same bad results. It’s time to “Dump McCain”!!

a careful choice

is obama rally the right choice for america? is it that simple?

a wrong choice could be fatal,a charm is not always effective in action.

Obama

Obama is going to ruin AMERICA

Next President

Mc Cain for President

TO defend human Life and freedom from Gay Marriage etc.

Obama will not defend unborn or protect the Marriage of one man and one woman as defined by the Creator of all mankind.

Obama isn't for gun control

Sen. Obama is not pro gun control.

Let me repeat that - Sen. Obama is not pro gun control.

If you think he is, you are mistaken.

Obama wants to BAN PRIVATE GUN OWNERSHIP. Big difference!!

He doesn't want "control" over honest citizens firearms - he wants private ownership completely eliminated.

Obama doesn't dislike guns. If he did, he wouldn't have a small army surrounding him and his family 24/7. He just dislikes the guns in YOUR HANDS, the serfs. The elite will always ensure their protection. It is up to you to ensure your protection from them.

Don't fall for the lies of the Democrats again.

Their party is hanging their hat on the communist ideals of "wealth reallocation" and keeping the populace unarmed and defenseless. Work your butt off so someone who is *underprivileged can enjoy the fruits of YOUR labor.

*they became "underprivileged" when they started doing drugs, won't look for a job and want everyone else to pay for the misery they cause themselves.

Obama is not for Libertarians/Conservatives.

I know, I know, McCain has angered a lot of Conservatives and Libertarians with his history. However, take a good hard look at what Obama is. He wants socialized medicine, higher taxes, more gun control, wants to punish businesses for earning a profit by taking that profit away from them (seriously, a "windfall" profits tax...do you think he'll just target the oil companies for their profits?), and comes from a party that supports reinstating a more strict assault weapons ban, and wants to take more of YOUR money to fund failed liberal programs.

Yes, you'll disagree with McCain on some issues, I know I do, but I guarantee you'll agree with McCain on more of his policies than you ever will with a Marxist like Obama.

Don't allow a clean Democratic sweep of the government. We can't take another Carter-esque period and come out in one piece.

Know your sources

Just an fyi, the so called moderate American Hunters and Shooters Association was created and currently funded by anti gun groups in an effort to counter what was perceived as the much too powerful NRA. One reason why it's so amusing that the Bradys and company are having such a hissy fit over an NRA mole in their organization. Someone had the audacity to use their own methods against them, how dare they.
