All in the GOP Family: John McCain's cousin explains why he won't vote for him

A part of me is made very sad to write this article. As I’ve said, my family has followed John’s life and career with no absence of pride. If there ever were a Republican we might consider voting for, it would have been my cousin John.

But, as he continually demonstrates in this campaign, my cousin John is long gone. “Straight talk” has been replaced with “flip-flop.” Saddest all, this is the same man who, when campaigning in 2000, told a crowd of supporters, “I don’t think Bill Gates needs a tax cut. I think your parents do.”

My parents, John, need some help after the economic destruction Bush has wrought in the last eight years, but it’s clear you’re not the one who’ll give it to us. America’s working families no longer recognize you, nor does your own.

Can someone say ouch?

His cousin---??? OMG

Of course, down play it instead of focusing on what he says.

If John McCain's own family doesn't recognize him, then that is saying something.

His cousin---??? OMG

Palin's mother-in-law may vote for Obama
nydailynews.com — "I'm not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative. Well, she's a better speaker than McCain," Faye Palin said with a laugh.

ya---it shows that someone thinks that some cousin's appraisal of a candidate should turn everyones head. Has his cousin been thoroughly vetted and proved to be an honest upstanding man with no personal vendettas ?

Hey, it's a free country, we can vote for whoever we want, right?

Doesn't anyone else have family members on the opposite end of the political spectrum?

I get more right wing email from my brother and sister,,,,,,,,,,,,my brother even signed me up for Rush Limbag's Online Newletter!


When we get together we don't talk politics, except for good natured ribbing. It's cool.


But,,,,,McCain's cousin probably won't get invited to Thanksgiving at John and Cindy's house this year I bet............

If so, I'm fucked because with perhaps 2 exceptions, my entire family are a bunch of delusional liberals.

Not really. To each his own. Are you implying there's some problem with people in one's family actually holding their own beliefs instead of just following the family tradition?

If so, I'm fucked because with perhaps 2 exceptions, my entire family are a bunch of delusional liberals. I wouldn't vote for a one of them.

Neither would I vote for McCain if Obama wasn't his opponent. If you read the past threads form the primaries, some of us were actually considering sitting this one out or actually voting for Hillary.

Try counting the actual conservatives on this board that support McCain and his platform. I don't. He's the lesser of two evils.
