Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.
Politics. How boring.

    John McCain would make the best president for three reasons. He will get respect from foreign nations, he has all the necessary experience, and he will lead the nation through the turbulent times we face.


    First, John McCain would make the best president because he will get respect from foreign nations. Our opponents are known to have racist and sexist members, and therefore having a female or African American president, while an important civil rights goal, is not best suited for our nation right now. Second, John McCain would make the best choices for America because he has the necessary experience. An ex-POW and an experienced politician, John McCain knows war and peace greater than any of the other candidates. Third, John McCain is the best presidential candidate because he will lead the nation through the dangerous times ahead safely. He knows what to do in an emergency due to his experience, and he is acceptable by all foreign nations.

    John McCain is America's best Presidential Candidate because he can lead the nation through the dangers ahead, he is experienced, and will recieve respect from our opponents and allies alike.

Yes, McCain is respected far and wide across the world, because everyone knows the world supports Iraq.  When I am chooseing a president, I require a man or woman who does not talk down to me, who does not offer a continueation of the same failed policies.  And yes, these policies are failed, as Basra clearly shows.  Iran, the country we all happily bash and attack as responsible for the violence in Iraq, was responsible to negotiating the peaceful resolution of that battle.  The surge that we were all told was temporary has become permanet, and Bush is handing of the whole mess to our next set of leaders.  The economy is in ruins and America is laughed at at home and abroad, and what does McCain offer?  More of the same.

 

oh, and to my fellow Demacrats, don't use personal insults, it merely weakens or invalidates your argument.

No offense, but I've heard people wanna vote for Dubya in the upcoming elections. And they're not those I'd think to be ultra-conservative.

Good post. And great advice. But the bad news this year is we only have 3 (soon to be 2) candidates to choose from, and none of them pass the smell test.

Demacrats?

I love when republicans talk of "experience". Yes John McCain has all the experience he needs to effectively run this country even deeper into the dirt.

He has experience and knowledge when it concerns the economy. = None

He has experience in making logical and true decisions to better our future = Voted for the Iraq war, predicted the war will end in weeks and no long time occupation will be necessary.

He shows equal rights and privileges to all= against gay marriage.

Frankly all this man is running on is his supposedly conservatism philosophy and past war time experience, one is irrelevant and the other is not needed at the moment.

He has all the experience. But what is experience worth in politics when you gained it by making all the wrong choices?

YOu were going until you got there. That is a red herring created by bigots to try to project their hate and animosity onto those they do not like. The first part of your statement has nothing to do with the second part. You should think clearer.

Anyone dumb enough to have voted for GW even once deserves to be branded with an M for "MORON" anyone dumb enough to have voted for him twice deserves to be tried and convicted of treason. Anyone still dumb enough to have the right to vote permanently stripped from them and any children unfortunate enough to be their kids.

Right...How DARE we allow people to vote their conscience, The_Politico!

And I am saying this as a person that would rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double edged razor blades (with apologies to Weird Al), then follow that with a soak bath in lemon juice than vote for Dubya even once. But I still believe that we as citizens should have a right to that vote rather than have bullies like you try to shame us away from it!

The_Politico, you could consider the USSR. They don't vote there.

He allows straight couples to get married but not gays. Yea that's an absence of privileges to a group of United States citizens due to bigotry and a self imposed moral rule not shared by all.

They are both relevant.

 

You should think clearer as well.

NO, you are confusing issues. Marriage is not a right. And he is denying nothing. Marriage is a religious institution that the government has no business involved in. Civil unions are another ball of wax and as some states have demonstrated, all that the government needs to have a say in. But Bush has not denied anything. He cannot. The president does not have the power. He has stated his opinion. And no where does anyone say that gays cannot get married. They can marry anyone just like any heteros can - of the opposite sex.

What you are trying (poorly) to blast is his opinion, not policy (as there is none at this point). And then not even an issue of rights as marriage is not one (please check your verbage closer in the future). You can try to prove you allegation, but if you are honest, you will see that you used inflamatory - and inaccurate - rhetoric to blast him for something you disagree with his opinion on, not practice or policy.

That is where you are failing to think and write clearly.

So even if his opinion became law (doubtful), he would not deny them any rights - rights are not at issue here, nor any priveleges - as they would still have the same ones as everyone else - just not extra priveleges.

I'm mature enough to know when I being proven wrong. I took the time to look up on McCains gay marriage policies and i was a bit surprised. I was mistaken with my argument, I apologize. While he is against gay marriage his policies does not reflect those sentiments, he voted NO against on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage and he believes the states should decide the matter of civil unions. Again I apologize, however I hope this does not overshadow the rest of my points which is still hold to be true.

Leave it to a republiscum to argue being proven wrong enhances your credibility.

I can understand why someone who is never right, and stubbornly refuses to admit their errors, would not understand that when someone is wrong, and admits it, that lends credence to their other statements. An honest person who admits errors will always have more credibility with their other statements than a mindless bot that only knows how to spew sewage from their finger tips.

But I dont expect you to understand that, as you have no connection to reality or truth.
