Comments on: Steve Forbes: McCain Isn't Bush

Political Players: Former GOP Presidential Candidate, McCain Economic Adviser On Taxes, Energy And The Budget

[ariel133]

McCain''''s opponent is not Generic D but rather a left-wing extremist with no experience, horrible, tried-and-proven-failure ideas and terrible judgment in friends, supporters and staff. That ought to frighten moderates and conservatives alike when they contemplate giving him the car keys. McCain''''s path to victory, then, is in collecting the people who like him, the people who respect him, and the people who can force themselves to tolerate him, and persuading them that an Obama presidency would be a disaster for the nation.

But McCain can only do that consistently and effectively if he, himself, believes that Obama would be a disaster for the nation.

Does He?

Okay, that''''ll work.

Now can anybody demonstrate how Obama differs from Jimmy Carter?

T Boone Pickens is attempting to destroy the WATER Resources in an Aquifer so he can sell it! The Wind Farms are just a smoke screen.

The only reason Bill even became President in 1992 was because Ross Perot stepped into the election, taking votes from George Bush 1....I don''t think this is highlighted often enough...

The "good times" of the ''90''s happened despite Clinton''s time in office, not because of it...Clinton rode the high-tech bubble until it burst in 2000...again, Clinton had nothing to do with the creation, or dissolution, of that.

These are different times....you can''t recreate the ''90''s no matter who is in office...the world has changed immensely in the last two decades....

Accept it and move on...McCain is nothing like Bush...never was, never will be...though I''ll admit that Obama IS starting to sound a lot like Bush lately, isn''t he?

Under the Clinton administration, the average income went from $43,000 to $49,000 a year. The budget was balanced and inflation, including oil and gas prices, were kept in check.

We can still have Hillary.

It IS up to US. All we have to do is let it be known that Hillary backers are NOT going to vote for Obama under any condition. Thats all it takes. If we don''t play thier game with them, there is no game and the candidate that most Democrats cast their votes for in the Primary will be the next President of the United States.
Write in Hillary''s name on the November ballot. Call your local voting place,
(on your registration card) and find out if you have to do anything special to receive a write in ballot. In some states you have to be registered as an
Independent. Do this before October 1st.

REMEMBER!! Obama is just the "presumptive" Democratic Candidate. The Super

Delegates, who can change their votes right up until the last minute, can

still make Hillary Clinton the Democratic Candidate at the Democratic National

Convention in August.

LET THEM KNOW YOU WANT HILLARY!!!!!

pjones501, drop the BS and stop listening to lies. Obama said that immigrants should absolutely learn to speak English and that he wished more Americans learned foreign languages as part of their basic education. Why? Because EVERYTHING that adds to our educational base makes us better able to do more. He was ashamed that HE didn''t speak Spanish.

We were attacked on 9/11 by extreme radical Islamists. If we do not protect ourselves we will be hit again and again. John McCain ran against Bush in 2000. It was a campaign where John was accused of fathering a black child out of wedlock. John is not like Bush. They come from different backgrounds and have different beliefs. Before we attacked Iraq, there was a lot of turmoil in the world caused by extremists. Today, the turmoil has decreased.

I have/"had" a friend who is a Republican. I asked him how in the world can he support McCain (knowing he is pro-war, pro-Bush etc.) He laughed at me and said simply, "It''''s not my problem that the poor are poor or that the poor fight the war..my goal is to hang on to my money and McCain like Bush will make certain that happens". The friend in question is worth millions.

With a little more effort and less whining you could be a great sci-fi writer...just kidding...you''d su.ck at that, too. Nice try, under achiever. Stop blaming any one who does better than you...it''s your own fault you lack ambition and drive...your parasitic DNA gives you away. Get off you azz and work for what you think you deserve instead of expecting tax payers to support you. Or hold your breath and hope Obama saves your sorry azz.

Actually, McCain is 95% Bush - Senator McCain voted with President Bush 95% of the time during the past seven years.

If you like President Bush and think he has done a good job, then John McCain is your man.

If you''re one of many Americans who thinks that the war in Iraq was a mistake or believe that the Republicans have run the economy into the ground and think that the chaos George Bush and John McCain unleashed in our foreign affairs has something to do with the price of gas at the pump... then you have Bush%u2019s partner John McCain to thank.

No one worked harder than McCain to get Bush elected then reelected.

And no one promoted and advocated for the Iraq war than John McCain. John McCain%u2019s original sin was supporting Bush and going to war in the first place.

Again, if you like the results of the past 8 years, then vote for McCain, because you will get more of the same for the next 8 years.

Ronald Reagan once asked "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?"

That is a great question now - are you better off now than you were in 2000?

If not, then I respectfully suggest you vote for Barack Obama in 2008.
