RUSH is RIGHT

[240 is Back]

I don't like Clinton, and I'm certainly no fan of the inexperience of Obama.  I was really looking fwd to a showdown with a true conservative like Ron paul or Thompson, vs. an experienced Dem like Richardson.

Unfortunately, Fred Thompson didn't show the intellect to hold the job, and Ron paul didn't receive the votes, and the Repub party chose John mccain.  He's a likeable guy, and very experienced, but the more I listened to Rush in Jan/Feb, the more I learned about mcCain.

According to Rush, McCain is a liberal.  Romney and the other presidential nominees agreed with Rush too.  They all felt the same way.  They said his involvement with Teddy kennedy and John Kerry, two of the biggest libs in the land, along with his liberal voting record, sealed the deal.  They labeled John mcCain a liberal and said that he'd be really bad for America.


Rush is right about a lot of things, and he clearly delivered evidence to support his case.   Now that the nominee for the Repub party is a liberal, I don't know what to do.  There are THREE liberals running.

I never thought I would say this but Hillary isn't looking like the worst option when you consider these 3.
I'd vote for McCain if he will change course in Iraq or at least move toward getting our troops out quicker and stop spending so much $ abroad, not because I like him, but of the three, he has the least intent on moving toward a socialist America.
Obama is great on the surface but his platforms are even more liberal than Hillary's.

[240 is Back]

I see 3 liberals running, plain and simple.

Rush, Romney, Rudy... they all agree on this point.

Obama, McCain, and Hilary are all Kerry/Kennedy liberals.

I already resigned myself for 4 years of Hil...so if she wins, I'm at peace with myself. Obama in another story.

LOL Ive givin up and think mccain might steal it.  And youve givin up think hill might steal it.....

I love obama's hope/change message.  He seems like if he gets in, he'll honestly work to improve things.

hilary and mccain, i think they won't change nearly as much, as they're both 20+ year veterans of Wash, DC.  It'll be status quo.  Obama might fix things, he might wreck things.  Hard to say.  With Hil and Mccain you know what you're getting - steady liberal leadership.

I agree that Obama appears to be a different option of what we normally see in Washington, but I just don't think the options he will bring won't be just as divisive as where we are now.  Especially when you look at his voting record.

Obama and McCain both have some liberal voting records, obama moreso.

hilary might be the most hawkish of the 3.  She's certainly the most alert and mentally quick of the 3.  Mccain got confused FOUR TIMES about AQ in iran in a span of 48 hours, in front of the cameras.  He doesn't have the intellect.  Hilary, Mitt, Rudy, Obama, they all had the mental ability.  I dunno about mccain - he's missing small details that most on getbig know (there is no AQ in iran, that is well known)

[muscleforlife]

I always say it is a shame that the brightest minds in the country won't or can;t afford to run for the presidency.

I don't like the status quo.  Im not too crazy about inexperience either.
But then again, you can always surround yourself with people with experience.

We are living in very interesting times.

I just don't like the choices we have.   

[JBGRAY]

I just don't like the choices we have.   

Vote 3rd Party.  I've never understood the mentality of those who think they must always choose the lesser of two evil when there are other choices that could be made.

Im sure 3rd party votes get stolen.......Its in the "Patriot act" in small print......or it'll be added when nessassary

My statement includes all names that will be on the ballot in November.  Ralph Nader is not a very attractive offer either. 

[Dos Equis]

Right.  There isn't a good, viable third party candidate in the race. 

[shootfighter1]

The Obama change message is used because running on a change platform is smart, it works for elections.
However, actually changing things is a lot harder when you realise how the system works.  In reality, Hillary would probably be in the best position to change things because she knows how the system works.  McCain too...but I don't know exactly what he wants to change.

I wanted someone who presented himself like Obama but thought more along the lines of Ron Paul

I agree.  The "change" platform is almost always illusory.  If you look at what Obama is proposing, it really isn't anything more than a traditional, big government, liberal agenda. 

Ron Paul with Obama's presentation skills would be a great candidate.

Govt only grows under repugs...where have you been?

I've been paying attention to who has been in control of Congress.  Where have you been? 

[shootfighter1]

Control over the congress is probably most important, but Bush hasn't exactly followed traditional conservative principles either.

For the last year?

Was there any govt growth under a repub congress from 2001 thru 2007?

[Dos Equis]

True, to the extent he did not really do much to cut government spending. 

[shootfighter1]

Exactly.

Joe, you asked why I thought McCain was a lib...
