Crossing party lines to vote in 2008

[CA95380]

Four reasons I am crossing party lines to vote this time are ...

1. Afganastain - We should have finished the job there before moving on to Iraq. Strike one against Bush aka Republician.

2. Iraq - We should have never started in Iraq, under the circumstances we did - then when it became obvious it was time to get out - we didn't. Strike two against Bush aka Republican.

3. Katrina - As we sat and watched the city of New Orleans be ignored (as it was) by federal government for days, and days, and days it was like watching the 9/11 attack on New York by terrorists all over again. Only this time it was our President, and his administration that was attacking our own people by ignorning them. Strike three to strike one zillion against Bush aka Republican.

4. Voting for McCain is a minimum of four more years of Bush's Republician Bull $hit!

McCain was once, many moons ago, a maverick in the GOP. He could reach across the isle and make nonpartisan decisions. Then he found that in order to gain the support of the far right he would have to become a bush lapdog. The GOP nomination was so important to him that he buried his conscious and became an political demagogue.

The moderate McCain that I once admired is dead. Now McBush is looking to extend 8 years of a twisted administration.

McCain is not dead. McCain is hiding. He's pandering to the right to get support, and it's painfully obvious. Once elected, he'll do what he wants, not what Bush wants.

We definitely do need to refocus of Afghanistan, because we have finally won in Iraq. I'm glad we are in Iraq because now, for the next 100 years, we have huge airbases we can hammer the Russians (the real enemy that never really went away) with.

We watched New Orleans get the scrubbing out that city BADLY needed for a LONG time. The only ones who watched were the idiot state and local officials, like the mayor leaving 1200 buses parked and eventually flooded out.

McCain has been opposed to Bush on almost all domestic fronts since he's been there. He's no Bush supporter, never has been.

An independent thinker. Nicely done.

side note: It's hilarious to watch posters who probably defended Bush for eight years, whine that McCain isn't going to be another Bush.

It's hilarious to watch people who have no clue what they're talking about make illogical and unsound assumptions about other posters.

I hate Bush. I never voted for, and I never supported him. Thanks.

I'm the one crossing the party lines this year. I'm registered Independent, and John McCain will be the first Republican I vote for.

Sucker--you bit on all that Katrina BS. I notice they are really working that card at the convention. It's called thinly veiled racism.

McCain, in Lower Ninth Ward, Blasts Bush Katrina Response

April 2008

NEW ORLEANS --Touring the Lower Ninth Ward this morning, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted the Bush administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina and vowed to respond differently if elected president.

"Never again, never again will a disaster of this nature be handled in the terrible and disgraceful way that it was handled," McCain told reporters after walking a few blocks through the still-devastated area.

Even the dude you're voting for said Bush's handling of Katrina was a disaster.

 

[Jon]

Even the dude you're voting for said Bush's handling of Katrina was a disaster.

NO WAY HE DIDN'T BECAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN HE WENT AGAINST BUSH AND MCCAIN IS JUST BUSH V2.0.

Oh wait...that's just liberal bullshit speak. McCain speaks for himself. He panders to the right for support because that's what cost him the 2000 nomination. He's doing what he has to do to win this election. Just. Like. Obama.

 

[dilloduck]

LOL



Even the dude you're voting for said Bush's handling of Katrina was a disaster.

First of all, I'm not going to vote for either one of these politicians and secondly--what in the hell did you think he was going to say there ?? Please tell me you are not buying the snake oil that either one of these two are selling.
The lower ninth ward WAS A DISASTER BEFORE THE HURRICANE EVEN HIT Too bad the film crews didn't catch it but it probably would have been to violent and pornographic for the news anyway

I believe you give some valid reasons to not vote for George W. Bush if he was running but he's not. John McCain has shown differences in the past and when he did, he was praised by some (not all) for being a Maverick. What McCain is doing now is only logical if he is to succinctly lock up his party's nomination and bring in a majority of the Republican votes. What do you expect him to do, oppose most of the Republican ideological stances and piss away most of his support. It's no different on the Democrat side, Obama has made every effort to appeal to his party in every way in order to lock up those votes.

Saying McCain is another 4 years of Bush is a cop out and an Obama one liner. It doesn't take much foresight to come up with that, just copy what you've already heard.

I have no doubt if and when McCain takes the White House, he will selectively take sides that at times will remain popular with his own party and on other occasions will go against his own party (which he has shown to do more than once). I'm not really saying this is good or bad but I am trying to depict a more accurate picture of McCain and not restate the latest marketing material passed out by Democrat loyalists.

You really only have 3 reasons as 1 and 2 are the same; which, means you have 1 actually legitimate reason.

Katrina was the fault of the Governor of LA, the Mayor of New Orleans and I'm not going through dragging out all the evidence proving it again. Blanco refused to as a Republican President for help. Simple as that. It is a viloation of the 10th Amendment for the President to act without that request. That's why the states that get hit the most, Texas and FL, get that request out post haste.

FEMA sucks, but the fact that Bush doesn't personally oversee FEMA is as weak an excuse is those who wanted to hold him legally responsible for the crimes committed in Abu Ghraib. No dice. FEMA is just another part of the inept bureaucracy that leeches off off this country.

McGrampa isn't Bush. He's Santa Claus with a shave and business suit.

 

[Jon]

Exactly right, 42. McCain is doing what has to be done. If he says, "Screw conservatives!" he'll lose this election. People will just stay home. He NEEDS them to go and vote, so he says what they want to hear.

People on this board act like they're new to politics.

 

[42Presidents]

Do you intend to not vote at all or are you selecting one of the other party candidates? Or maybe your going to write in a candidate. I would offer my name for nomination but I'm not expecting a lot of support nationally.

I get the same impression. I actually liked McCain before Bush came along but McCain is no longer a maverick, just a party follower.

Well I've been petitioned several times to run myself but I'd never pass a background check so this may be the first presidential election that I don't vote in.

I've given it a lot of thought and simply can't vote for the lesser of two evils anymore. I no longer see my vote as something that will make a difference. If you choose to believe yours does, more power to ya.

I hear you and I understand where your coming from. I am of the mindset that I will be selecting the lesser of two evils. I would like to see some significant changes in this country but I'm not ready to give it up either to watch one of these guys just flush the nation down the toilet.

Unfortunately, I believe it will take something catastrophic to really shake up the way the country is managed. I thought that would be the case after 9/11but it seems we took a few steps backwards instead.

And Obama is not a lapdog for anyone? I could name a handful of suspects that would fall into that category. Obama is playing the same sort of game, its not unique to McCain.
