Why so anti-McCain?

$1 billion is not a lot of money to spend trying to decide who will be executive in charge of spending over $3 trillion per year. If you're about to spend $3,000 on your house, would you spend a buck evaluating the potential contractors?

The only problem is this: it isn't America hiring people to investigate and report on various candidates, it's various candidates battling for the privilige. A billion dollars would provide some very thorough reports on several candidates, not just two propaganda campaigns.

If Ron Paul were so Libertarian, why would he support, nay, introduce legislation that would entail discrimination against sexual and religious minorities?

Section 3 of H.R. 4379, the "We the People Act", FORBIDS the federal courts to rule on STATE laws about religion.
SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON JURISDICTION.

The Supreme Court of the United States and each Federal court–

(1) shall not adjudicate–

(A) any claim involving the laws, regulations, or policies of any State or unit of local government relating to the free exercise or establishment of religion;

(B) any claim based upon the right of privacy, including any such claim related to any issue of sexual practices, orientation, or reproduction; or

(C) any claim based upon equal protection of the laws to the extent such claim is based upon the right to marry without regard to sex or sexual orientation; and

(2) shall not rely on any judicial decision involving any issue referred to in paragraph (1).

Section 7 invalidates ALL federal precedents on state laws about religion. Every law the feds threw out as unconstitutional, but didn't get repealed by the state, is back on the books and enforceable.
SEC. 7. CASES DECIDED UNDER ISSUES REMOVED FROM FEDERAL JURISDICTION NO LONGER BINDING PRECEDENT.

Any decision of a Federal court, to the extent that the decision relates to an issue removed from Federal jurisdiction under section 3, is not binding precedent on any State court.

Section 7 flies in the face of the 14th Amendment:
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

It gratifies me to see such dislike of McCain from some quarters.

Shows that he will make a good President ;)


By the way, I especially like the one where someone says "well the socialist NY Times is for him"....

Well look who they are against....:)

Bet Rudy would be a good President. :)The Times hates him

Not a dislike of the man......a dislike for his policies. And the fact that he is so two-faced. The man has no courage of his convictions........NONE.

McCain is a whore for MSM approval. Of course they like him, because he's a "maverick." Think tey approve of Dems who are mavericks? No way. It's only because he is not truly conservative that the media likes him.

Bad on 1st amendment.
Bad on immigration (he told Russert last week he'd sign McCain/Kennedy if he was Pres.)
He's 71 years old, for heavens sake!

The only positive is that he's not a Dem and he stands up to pee.

If you could explain how this is an objectively positive thing, that would be pretty cool. Partisanship is one thing, misogyny another.

George Washington was 57 when he became president. Today, global life expectancy at birth is about 67 years; two centuries ago it was 30 years or less.
 
hows the bucket list going?

5 more 1911's and a couple of thousands trips to Knob Creek Gun Range and it's finished. At the rate my wife lets me buy new guns....I will live to about 150.
 
I think that's more of him missing the point about the theft of the social security numbers, madmag. He says in no uncertain terms that the man is on his staff because he is willing to help McCain and to support McCain's policies, and McCain says that he himself doesn't want to give benefits to illegals and doesn't want people to enter the country illegally. Now of course the conservatives will shoot right back that he wants to let anybody waltz in legally, but at that point you're just disagreeing about immigration restrictions, not securing the borders.

So yeah madmag, what didn't he answer? Sure he didn't say "I don't think it's alright for people to get their SSNs stolen." But he did say "Illegals should not get social security or other benefits, I want to keep illegals out of the country, and I'll look more closely into the policy positions of this volunteer who is currently on my staff because he's helping me with my policies." Did I miss some question he danced around? You can figure that if he doesn't want them in the country illegally, it's a good bet that he doesn't like illegals stealing SSNs to work here.

No matter what he says now, The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 (McCain/Kennedy) would have provided benefits for illegals.

So, which do you believe?
