McCain Supporters Please Share your Opinion Here

hey guys

firstly- i'm not tryna start shit, and to be honest, i'll stay out of this thread completely unless someone directs a question at me that requires an answer/explanation. I am starting this thread, however, simply because I dont know any McCain supporters personally (not to say everyone I know are Obama supporters, cuz unfortunately many i know refuse to vote and could care less), and I figured there have to be a few on here, and I'd like to hear from people other than the occasional handful CNN throws in a room following a debate.


thanks guys


NOTE: PLEASE TRY TO SPEAK ABOUT MCCAIN AS HE STANDS REGAURDLESS OF WHO HE'S RUNNING AGAINST. WE CAN ALL THROW SHOTS AT THE OTHERSIDE, BUT WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN, (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) IS LEARNING MORE ABOUT MCCAIN FROM THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT HIM. THANK YOU

Hi Sir...Everyone knows I'm not a McCain supporter but I just wanted to bump your thread because it'll sink like the Titanic and his supporters will pretend they never saw it, when we ask them on other threads why they didn't answer you.

Have a great day!

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

This country was founded on the premise of Liberty and Justice for ALL...remember?

My wallet is STILL on hiatus!

yeah, what Hatrina said.

and be sure to clarify whether you would like the McCain supporters to actually say things in support of McCain. otherwise, you'll end up with a lot of what they think about Obama. it's the way every other thread like this has gone.

I was wondering why he didn't respond to it..this is his chance to have the light shine on his McCainess..

Why do you think Hiin is FOR McCain?


I don't know that he is for anyone.

He just doesn't like Obama, or the idea that others do.

I'm not a US citizen. I wouldn't vote for McCain because I don't agree with his ideas, his VP is a gimmick and his campaign an absolute mess.
Still, having followed his career a little bit over the past decades, I know he is a pretty decent guy and far removed from the scary extremism we've witnessed in the BushCo era. He can be naive and impulsive, which makes him a likable human being (outside of his political campaigning anyway), but not President material.

wow...you can hear crickets chirping in this thread

lol

Well, here goes nothing...

I support McCain. Mostly because I'm a conservative (to a point). Actually, I tend to lean more towards Libertarian views, but what's the point to vote for any of them? It's not like they would ever win a national election.

I want to make informed decisions on whatever I do. When something's important, I want to do as much research as possible. I actually printed out the candidates responses for each issue from their own websites, and sat down for a few days, reading them and highlighting important things.

I don't think that government should be big, as most dems do. I don't see how Obama could want to institute all kinds of government programs without my taxes being raised. According to www.electiontaxes.com I will be paying more under his presidency than McCain's. Plus it looks like Obama will be putting a cap on itemizations exemptions, which I don't like. We itemize a lot.

I'm also very concerned about national security, and I feel that McCain would be more apt at handling rogue nations than Obama.

I could write a whole essay on why I want McCain over Obama, but it would be too long of a post. Those are just a couple of points.

I'll even admit the most stupidest, shameful, ignorant reason I have for wanting McCain as well: This is his last chance to be president. Obama has many more chances ahead of him. It seems only fair. I know that's dumb, so there's no need to tell me so.

Thank you for not being afraid to share how you genuinely feel with integrity, and without resorting to rhetoric, name calling, innuendo, or smearing. Although we may be on opposite sides of the political fence, I respect your honesty and basically think that you ROCK.
