McCain

  • If McCain wasn't for Iraqi occupation, I would consider voting for him. I like him as a person. I don't agree with some of his views, but he is a respectable guy.

    I find it close to impossible to agree with any candidate on EVERY issue. what it comes down to for me is the overall picture.
  • I find it close to impossible to agree with any candidate on EVERY issue. what it comes down to for me is the overall picture.

    My advice (not that is solicited) is to decide what are the absolute 2 or 3 top issues to you, and find the guy or gal that most closely aligns with you on those issues.

    For instance, if you are staunchly anti-Iraq war, McCain wouldn't be your guy, even if you agreed with him on every other minor issue.

    Come on man.....

    If the half empty life boats came back to rescue all the people in the ocean right after the Titanic sank, what do ya think would happen to those boats?
    They would sink. There would be now way of systematically deciding who gets on and who does not. It would be chaos. Utter chaos.
    Their comes a time when you have to close the doors.

    this has nothing to do with what i said.

    McCain will fire up the guns and explode into space...

    I'm sure he'll put a few new coats of paint on the patriot act, and increase domestic spying as well.

    Bank on it.

    He'll go fight those terrorists just like the good old days trying to wipe out the commies....because that all worked out so well.

    One nation divided under god...Bankrupt.

    also< mccain will eat your first child, rape you, and then kill you. of course, i have no proof about this but Roland has thought me that i don't need proof about anything

    So are you really advocating that anyone who shows up at our borders should be allowed to come on in, documented or no?

    That's just fucking lunacy.

    Look, it sucks the way we (our descendants) obtained this land 300 years ago. It's not something to be proud of. But now what are we going to do?

    If we made sure all border control agents were full blooded Native Americans, would that make you feel better about us having, you know, some standards?

    we could go back to where our families came from. i would be happy having native be border agents so that they can get everyone who is not native and hence illigal out of teh country. are you in?

    not surprised that a McCain thread became an illegal immigration thread...

    anyway, i'll throw my two cents in...

    the fact is illegal immigrants are here because the whole of American society wants them here. they work harder (because they have more to lose), and they don't have to be paid benefits. there isn't a single American who doesn't benefit in some way from the exploitation of illegal immigrants. the economy would collapse if we tried to kick them all out. The United States of America came to be because of uninvited invaders. but the invaders from the southern border were invited - by our business class, and it began to pay off for the general public, although many native-born workers lost their jobs. but it's only recently that we have begun to say as a country that we don't want to invite anymore.

    I personally think we should grant FULL amnesty and FULL documentation to all of the migrants that we have invited thru our back door. but at some point, you begin to have a serious breakdown of civil society when there is too much unorganized immigration. i'm sure we already have that in many parts of the country, especially in the southwest. i have to admit, illegal immigration hadn't had much of noticeable effect when i live in eastern massachusetts. but throughout the country, we need to move forward humanely and responsibly.

    If you're a Muslim and you protest he most certainly will murder you and your children (and relatives), and definitely a rape here and there... Not personally though....he'll order troops take care of all that US patriotic goodness..

    Going on just the actual words coming out of his mouth. i.e. his own words coming out of his own mouth in case you missed it...

    "plan on hundreds of years of war if necessary". You know what war is right, and what happens during times of war?

    Actually....everybody who ever lived on this continent is or is descended from an immigrant. Humans did not evolve on this continent......the first humans on this continent came from Asia roughly 10,000 years ago....and then preceded to kill nearly all of the mega fauna present at the time.

    well put. I used to work with these dudes from el slavador, they put in as many hours as they could at minimum wage, which is shit. They did a lot for the company. and that's pretty common.

    Well said. Did you know we have billions sitting in Social Security paid through fake social security numbers? We won't pay it out because we actually don't know how to. These immigrants, just by working and living in the US, help the economy SO much.

    I will sleep alot better at night if either McCain and Clinton are our choices. I don't think we can go wrong there. I have only voted Republican once but if Obama wins it will be twice.

    so he is going to kill all muslims who protest. Oh Oh watch out because mccain is going to attack teh USA as there are Muslims in america who do protest. maybe you meant protest as in shoting people then yes he will have to try to murder you (that is what war is like is it not?) also i have never heard McCain say that you wants to rape people but i guess you know what he is truely thinking (you are a very smart person). all i heard abotu him is that he agianst torure but i quess you don't want to mention that.
    one final thing when you use ie. which means example you should use any example not repeat what you wrote right before it. but you know that right?

    Totally off topic...

    He needs to stop saying "my friends" all the time. I swear to God. You could make a drinking game up around his use of that. You'd be fucked up in 30 minutes.
