Public Comments

1. "Everybody wants to rule the world" --Tears for Fears
2. his own agenda which is already bought and paid for
3. He is another Bush of a different kind. So what do you expect him to support?
4. Go to his website.
5. I don't know. He screams too much for me!
6. Power trip. The same as the 2 socialists running as Democrats. I figured out how to get you to block me. I simply dis "Ron Paul" by pointing out that he's nuts.
7. the war the war the war.
8. He supports amnesty for illegals.
9. amnesty and war, war and amnesty
10. So he can keep the war going and make his partners billions of more dollars at the tax payers expense.
11. I'm an Obama supporter but McCain believes in smaller government, strong military, people helping to find solutions to their own problems and bipartisan work in Washington. He believes we need to protect our borders and have illegals already in the US to have to deal with heavy penalties in order to become citizens. He is usually very honest in his views even if they are unpopular. He is not into playing the wedge issues game in regards to gay marriage and abortion. As an avid Democrat, I have always respected McCain because he wants ALL politicians to work together to make America better. His views are moderate not extreme. This site has a good outline of his platform. http://phoenix.about.com/od/politiciansfromarizona/a/johnmccain_5.htm
12. He's liberal but supports the war.
13. he wants to bring honor back to america.
14. He believes in the America of yesterday. The freedoms we had that the young of today never knew. He wants to stop the spread of Islam in America. He wants to take what was and fix it. Not change our country into something different. Without men like McCain America the beautiful would become the Same as the rest of the world . Lost.
15. because after a 100 years in politics- he feels like he has paid his dues. it's like being at the same job all your life- you're bored with where you are so you feel like you are entitled to the next step up. it's to fill his resume. where he stands on the issues- well that might be a little harder to tell... He has flip flopped more than any of them- and worse, he has done it DURING the campaign!! Not to mention the outright lies he has been caught saying, as late as just yesterday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioy90nF2anI economy- does not have a clue!!! has even admitted it himself! says he would have to rely on other people to tell him what to do with the economy- what? the same people that drove into a hole to begin with!!!??? is he serious?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XazpaYwFK... illegal immigration- has been for amnesty the entire 21 years he has been senator of arizona. an estimated 5,000 illegals cross through arizona EACH DAY!! 1.6 million a year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLzWDmxUe... war- his leg that he stands on, and yet even that has been criticized by those who are serving in iraq right now!! some of the lines he has been feeding potential voters have drawn laughs from troops, and deep concern from those in iraq, wondering if he is really that dilusional- or just very out of touch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06hR2EGpl... taxes/conservative values- mc cain's record reads more like a democrats, and democrats have even said they welcome working with mc cain, because his views are not that different from their own!! he has done more to hurt the repub. party than help, including voting against tax cuts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf7e7R3gS...
