 Alert | 10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't): - John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
- According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
- His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3
- McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4
- The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5
- He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6
- Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7
- McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8
- McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9
- He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10

Alert | Do you know anything about that source you got your info from? Next time, consider the source.
Most of those 'points' were opinions. (6) And what's wrong with someone who is facing foreclosure getting a second job and skipping the family vacation??? That's what a decent, honest, hard-working human would do. | |

Alert | I admit i'm not financially rich never said I was never needed to be. I do live a very rich life is ways you'll never know. I have self pride and take responsibility for all my faults you need to try it at least once. Maybe you can then be happy with your sorry life.

I'm not defending Drummer or this thread. I happen to disagree with him on most things political, BUT does anyone else see the humor in questioning someone's level of education in a post riddled with grammatical & punctuation errors? Sorry, Geewiz. I couldn't resist poking atcha. | | | |

Alert | | Actually I believe drummer72 has a college degree geewiz. Also, your grammar leaves something to be desired. Don't think someone lacks an education just because they are not white. I have met more whites without a college education than anyone in my life. | |

If you think my grammar is so bad please free to show me your corrections Mr. English teacher. I never have been an English Scholar but then again I have never meet a true English Scholar. The thing about English is how one recieves the context is what determines thier understanding of what was said. Example during an Psychology class experiment we turned the same exact English paper into three different English professors and all three graded it differently why do to the way their mind recieved the context. I know there may have been some commas and periods and other punctuations in my post but thats just me being lazy in my typing . Its kinda like all the acronyms used today people just get lazy and choose not to use all the words and makeup one word to mean several. So go ahead a rag my grammer yours probably is just as bad to others.

Alert | | "the childrens healthcare bill" You have to be effing kidding me. That bill would have more than doubled the governments role in health care flooding an already abused system. "children" are already covered. That bill would have opened it up to people in their 20's. It was not a bill for children, it was a leap towards socialized medicine and branded as a childrens bill to make anyone who opposed it, "against the children" Spare me the bs | |
