1. He's a WAR monger. It was good in the old days. but he doesn't even know anything about finance or anything else.....but Vietnam and War mongering.
2. McCain is one of three liberal Senaters that are running for president. The big difference is that he want lift his skirts and run away from the war.
3. Well, in my opinion, his position on the issues depends on when you are talking about and to whom he is addressing. However the following link will be able to answer your question:
4. He's really the only candidate who will actually try to win the war, rather than cut and run, that's probably the most notable difference.
5. He is a warmongering liberal. Much like his buddy Joe Lieberman. Lieberman is following him everywhere, I suppose he is his prospected VP.
6. 1. Mccain is all for big business 2. He is all for the amnesty of illegals. He has yet to keep his promise to the citizens of Arizona regarding building a wall between Arizona and Mexico 3. He is/was against the disclosure of campain contributions (he was a member of the KEATING 5,orchastrated by Charles Keating who ripped off the elderly by stealing their retirement funds) 4. He is for lobbyists.
7. HAHAHAHA McCain standing on issues??? McCain flip-flops more than a pancake in Hillary Clinton's frying pan... You will never get answers from McCain supporters... They will only try to bash Obama....
8. He doesn't stand on his own. He's another Bush clone, and he has absolutely no experience in foreign policy or domestic policy issues. His latest remarks about Iran training Al-Qaeda in Iraq makes me wonder which script he's been reading from lately. The man is clueless on matters of state and wouldn't know a WMD if one came up and dropped on top of his head. In short? He's a parrot with a lifelong GOP leash.
9. I hate to throw around the flip flopper term but I could have sworn he was anti-torture but then he votes FOR it. Christ, I really had some respect for him for that one stand before that PRO-TORTURE vote. What else does he have going in his favor? He'll stay in Iraq till our treasury is drained, he admits he's not very good about the economy (who's going to pay the taxes to fund that endless war in Iraq - never mind the larger "war on terror"?) And then there's his stance towards his new best friends Pat Robertson and company - you remember them, he used to call them agents of intolerance or hatred or some such thing. Welcome to the ranks of people who can't just take a stand, McBush. Pro torture, pro war, doesn't care about the economy, pro-intolerance - that about sums it up.
10. The McCains are not like most Americans. They belong to a warrior caste that has been fighting America's conflicts for more than two centuries. Like his father and grandfather, McCain wanted to be an admiral, but, too disabled to fly, he knew he would never command a carrier group, a prerequisite for winning four stars like the two older McCains. While working as a naval liaison officer with Congress in the late '70's McCain discovered a flair for politics. He decided to run for the House. Remarried (his first marriage did not survive the strangeness and strain of repatriatioin) to a beer heiress, he used his new wife's family ties to win a safe seat in AZ, and then essentially inherited Barry Goldwater's Senate seat in 1987. In the military, there are two kinds of leaders, McCain mused in his interview with NEWSWEEK--the "organizer of victory" type, like Gen. George Marshall and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the more "inspirational" type, like his father and grandfather, who may not be terribly organzied but are gifted at leading men into battle. Likewise, said McCain, there are different types of senators. "One is the person who is involved in the detail and the appropriation for the road or the bypass," he said-the type of lawmaker who gets involved in the "minutiae" that helps 'people get re-elected." McCain said, unenthusiastically: "I respect that kind of of senator." Then there is the "policy making" senator, clearly McCain's model. His staff is devoted; they call themselves "McCainiacs." McCain has many admirers among his colleagues. "I consider him a leader." says Sen. Susan Collins, (R), of Maine and a fellow member of the Armed Services Committee. "He has forged a bipartisan coalitions on a lot of different issues, including global warming and campaign finance and the patient bill of rights and greenhouse-gas emissions. He's a real player in the Senate. He has tremendous impact, when we're not on the same side. He is usually early on an issue and right on an issue." www.johnmccain.com
