3 Ways McCain Can Still Irk the Right

Horrible times coming regardless of who will be the new president

We worked very hard to make it and finally we are going to succeed.

We were irresponsible at the Federal, State, Local and individual level.

We overspent at all levels and thought that we better spend, spend now even if our future generations were going to be holding the bag.

At the Federal level they thought that printing fiat money would solve everything and it did until pay the piper day came.

And came it did, we are broke and still have an illusion of normality because our main enemy (China) is waiting for that opportune moment for the shot in the head.

And in a few months we will have a new president which will in effect unconditionally surrenders our sovereignty to the one world government during his four years while the people enjoy a hard earned depression.

May God have mercy on our country even if it does not deserves it.

McCain Irks the Right

I agree that after the 'nightmare years' of the Bush administration the next ones will indeed be the 'wilderness years'. It's true that the economy may hit bottom whoever is in the White House. I just hope the American people never forget who put us there.

McCain doesn't do it for me

Unfortunately, John McCain already irks me and I'm a republican. In addition his lack of concern for America's small business owners and the constant military card played, I don't trust his smirk. It doesn't come across as sincere. It comes across as "I know something you don't or yea, that's right, I know more than you do."

I can appreciate how he calls everyone his "friends" yet he does so in such a condescening manner. And while this sounds awful, it is true. I feel like he is wearing a very tight mask. His neck wrinkles with age and from the back he looks like he is the 72 year old that he is. Yes, his mother is 95 but how old was his father when he passed? That seems unfair. Age shouldn't matter, but I want someone who is healthy, energetic, driven, and spirited to lead this country. Look at what the stress of the presidency does to those who hold the position? McCain's hair is already white. Where does he go from here?

Finally, the biggest irk is that McCain doesn't know any other kind of life besides the military and the senate, and I can't say my life is any better for what he has done while in Washington. I look at Huckabee's record as Arkansas governor for 10 years and I say, "Now that guy got things done. He's worked it. He's proven he can make changes to better the lives of average people like me. For that reason, I say "Fight on and thank you for hanging in there. You've got my vote."

McCAIN - COBURN 2008

Dr. Tom Coburn - distinguished US CONSERVATIVE SENATOR who is socially and fiscally conservative...the Lincoln of our TIME = BEST VP for McCAIN , mainly because he has the BEST HEALTHCARE plan for America at this time in history -his Senate Bill S1019-which is the only effective rebuttal of the Dem'S TAX AND SPEND GOVT.-run unaffordable Healthcare Plan - which will tank our Economy with 120 Billion in Democratic Tax increases to pay for their beuraucratic nightmares of Govt. run waste and abuse that will drive companies overseas with loss of precious American jobs if anyone votes for Failed 'hillarycare'...

Ummm....it is amazing to me that you fiscal cons simply downplay the social cons and evangelicals. For that reason, and that reason alone, John McCain is unelectable. If he doesn't choose Huckabee than it is all over....guaranteed.

The RNC and their man Mccain are like a delapidated house, to fix it, it must be torn down to the foundation and rebuilt. My parents survived the depression, so I'm sure I will survive 4 years under a democratic president. Another plus will be when the economy hits bottom there will be a democrat in the white house. It will help conservatives in 2012. Sometimes you must lose a battle to win a war. The conservative front needs rebuilt, the RNC is more concern about retaining their influence than doing what is right. I'm vote independent or if I have to, I'm vote democrat to keep Mccain out of the white house. I will not reward the RNC or Mccain with my vote.

McCain is not the answer...

This is one reason I don't want McCain in office. He will not introduce anything new for our economy. Raising payroll taxes? In the end that means less money for small business owners. That leads to lower wages or less benefits - and the cycle goes on.

Then comes the war monger in McCain. God bless him for his service but that doesn't give him the license to swing a big stick in the air to make sure all other countries know he is ready for them. Bush and McCain have both said in public forum that they will "protect out interest" in the Middle East. I am sure that does not "only" include our soldiers being there or long term of protecting the USA.

No, this war wouldn't be going on like it is if we were energy independent. That is the bottom line. We might help out the Iraqi's no doubt on that but we wouldn't be forking out trillions of dollars.

In all honesty, McCain make me sick to my stomach. No one really knows his plans/ideas for our country. Every debate he answered 80% of his questions with this cloud of how he served our country and he will pledge to protect us. That isn't good enough for me.

Alot of people throw blows at Huckabee but he has done a much better job at answering difficult questions and providing some details on a complex idea; fairtax. If I am going to vote for a Republican then Huckabee has my support.
