Here are two candidates, side by side , chose one but read before you chose, which one would be best for us?
By admin on Aug 20, 2009 in Elections
1. McCain has over 30 yrs of proven experience, character, leadership, personal ethics, clear vision on American needs, proven knowledge of foreign affairs, lower taxes, proven judgment,Graduated from the United States Naval Academy,US congressman for 26 years,ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee,Chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee,Member of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs,has voted with his party only 63% of the time showing he is willing to put the country ahead of political parties. John McCain a REAL PATRIOT has 17 Medals, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross and 4 Commendations and 2 Citations,to earn those commendations,McCain stayed in the POW camp, not for future political leverage, but because he put the good of all before his own well being.That alone is proof of a great leader!! What do you have an Obama bumper sticker?
2.Obama the Junior Senator. He has only been a Senator for 18 months.But with all the recesses, four day weekends, campaigning and absences, Obama has only spent about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as one of the most extreme liberal junior
Senators,voted with his party 97% of the time according to an independent study (the highest percentage of any senator). Most of his votes, about 80% when he was not absent, have been “present” or “abstain”.
He also chairs a committee on Afghanistan that has never met because the chairman has never called a meeting. As a trial lawyer he only tried 14 cases in court – and minor ones at that.
As a “community organizer” his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. After 2 years of trying, the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.
That’s it. His entire real world work resume. 6 weeks work in the Senate with nothing to show for it.Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a “community organizer” with nothing accomplished.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out which one to chose does it?
Anti-con: I have traveled to Russia several times since the Soviet Union collapsed, and McCain did not declare war on them, thats silly, the Russians respect power and judgement, and they know Obama is weak and lacks the experience to make good judgement calls, they will walk all over him and us, you need to think about it

No it doesnt. We all SHOULD choose the right one, but of course, there are those that do not listen to facts.

John McCain just stood in front of American flags this past week and, in so many words, said that we should go to war with Russia because a little country on the border of Russia started ethnic cleansing and Russia stopped it, and because his campaign manager is a lobbyist for that little country! Think about what you’re saying! Experience means nothing without judgement! And, for goodness sake, read/watch other news reports than FOX!

You have written an excellent piece here. The ONLY choice is McCain.

You clearly are for McCain. Anyone could spin their biographies to emphasize and deemphasize the candidates. Not very compelling. If I had to choose the lesser of two evils, Obama. But first I would (if he was still running) choose Kucinich.

No it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that you have not done your homework on either Candidate.
McCain was called before the ethics committee over the Keating Scandal which created the last huge savings and loan debacle that undermined our economy roughly 15 years ago. He was a personal friend of Keating who lived here in Phoenix. His other good friend was Fyfe Symington our Governor who was indicted convicted of fraud. His conviction over turned and awaiting an appeal when he was given a Presidential pardoned. Then their is his current problem, campaign chair Congressman Rick Renzi. currently awaiting trial and indicted for public land fraud and stealing from Right to Life. One of the most corrupt Congressmen and now resigned in disgrace. These plain old white collar crooks. And a man of great integrity, Paul K. Chorton was one of the 7 U.S. Attorneys fired in the recent controversy. Funny, he was prosecuting Rick Renzi. So from being one of the Keating 5 he has moved up to not being one of the US Attorney filing but being on the fringes with a friend involved once again. Now he has some other connection to Abramoff working to raise money.
McCain has no qualifications to run the worlds largest economy. He dumped his wife and children and went off to live with a young woman who was 17 years his junior and an heiress. Her father who was a millionaire many times over obviously tied up the money in a Prenuptial arrangement etc. So McCain has never really had to worry about finances. The investiment advice in his money profile in money magazine is “to keep his wife very happy.”
McCain has been a real gem for Arizona, we have the most porous border and the longest one that is not protected. Not every earmark is bad but he can proudly say he has not done well by his own state even in the interest of National Security.
Without knowing the issues I cannot comment on the votes or even if you have it accurate. A voting record means nothing without the issue attached.
Last McCain has more falsehoods to his name than Obama. Check politfact for unbiased research not hot air. I do not trust McCain and that is not a political bias its based on living in the same city and the same state. He has made some decisions i agree with but also has sold out too many times.
