Let's elect a *proven* leader with a real resume of results. VOTE ROMNEY

The Real McCain Record
Obstacles in the way of conservative support.

By Mark R. Levin
There’s a reason some of John McCain's conservative supporters avoid discussing his record. They want to talk about his personal story, his position on the surge, his supposed electability. But whenever the rest of his career comes up, the knee-jerk reply is to characterize the inquiries as attacks.

The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider:

McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.

McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.

McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history.

McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.

McCain-Reimportantion of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).

And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.

As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.

McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees.

Vote Romney – the candidate with a very impressive record of decades of achievements in business, as governor of MA, and with the SLC Olympics. Romney is a *proven* leader who has shown time and time again that he can actually get things done. Talk is cheap, accomplishments matter.

"Do you folks realize that Ron Paul is more than a year older than McCain? But then, I don't believe he puts his birthdate on his website."

Hello Margaret:

If you see live how Dr. Ron Paul talks, you will be amazed by how fast this man talks. And, it's not just fast talk. He speaks wisdom fast.

It turns out that he loves to run since his childhood. He would run the 2 miles to his elementary school every day from his parents' farm, instead of taking the bus. I think even at his age, his physique is probably more fit than Bill Clinton.

President Reagan was 70 when he was elected for the first term.
Age is not the issue, but physical and mental fitness is.

Both Ron Paul and McCain are healthier than Reagan was when he was elected.

DON'T FORGET McCAIN IS INTERESTED IN AMNESTY. SO IS LINDSEY GRAHAM OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

IF McCAIN WINS THE ELECTION, WE WILL HAVE AMNESTY.

A Democrat that pretends he is a Republican John McCain!

Go Mitt! Mitt Romney is only candidate intelligent and energenic enough to make America competive with China. And lets face it, the real war America will face in the next century will be economic. And if the dems have it their way we will raise taxes and cripple our economy. Corporations in America already 35%, on of the highest tax rates in the world. Is it any wonder they are moving their jobs overseas? I can't blame them. America is driving them out of America.

Go Mitt!

And why is nobody talking about Ron Paul. I find his line of thinking one of the best but the poor fellow does not get the attention and votes what he deserves.

If it came down to Hillary and Ron I will vote for Ron without hesitation.

Please analyse their background, track record and what they are talking to do for the nation, not just rhetoric.............

Who knew?

When did this happen?

How much was he paid to say that?

I get it now: McCain has resolved his issues with the other angry – his Anger Management classes may be working? – McCain and he is now getting along with himself!

Gr8!

On the other hand, if we elect a poor commander-in-chief, she or he will not be able to increase the number of recruits. Then draft is more likely.

McCain is strongly anti-waterboarding. He has seen the damage war could do to human beings and he is for peace. "Speak quietly and carry a big stick." said Theodore Roosevelt. A smart peaceful commander-in-chief knows how to avoid wars, but weak states have no diplomacy. The U.S. has spoken loudly and does not carry a big stick.

We may consider to require one-year national service of all young men and women after college or high school graduates who are not college bound. Many young people today don't understand what it means to serve.

In this globalization frenzy period, we may lose our national identity. I am very amazed by how my German or French friends see themselves and feel about their countries even long after EU was established.

We need a uniter to lead us.
Hillary is the most divisive candidate seen in history.

My thoughts exactly on McCain. I'm an independent was on board the straight talk express in 2000. My views changed about him when he sided with GWB on the war. Now he's running as a war candidate. He won't get my vote this time. I'll be talking a Democratic ballot and voting "uncommitted" on Jan. 15. I hope you do the same.

NO TO EMPEROR MCCAIN!

ANYBODY BUT A NEOCON IN 2008!

This year expext RON PAUL or a DEMOCRAT to win. That way at best we would have a constitutional democracy as the Founders of the Republic intended, or at worst a Western social-democracy, but either would be infinitely better than a John McCain military dictatorship.

After 16 years of Boomer Presidents, none of the Boomer candidates can nor will unite the country to move forward in a positive direction. The only real change candidate is Obama.

I'm looking forward to the commercial slamming of Huckabee made by the Dems. If you think Huckabee is weeping now, just wait till the democratic candidate gets a hold of him.

Justice will be served, I CAN'T WAIT!

Somebody fetch his slippers for him, and sit him down on a sofa.

And turn the TV Show Jeopardy for him too, his every answer will be:

"Bomb Iran"

"Bomb Iran"

"Bomb Iran"

...

The dollar is falling. Gold is over 900.00 an ounce, oil is almost a 100.00, we have outsourced our jobs, we are 60 trillion in debt (including Social Security and mdedicade) We borrow money from China, everything is made in China, but I can't buy a cigar from Cuba, but they are both Communist Countries?? Our Foreign Policy is a joke Wall Street and the Feds gave us Sub Prime that will take years to clean up. Greenspan is owned by Wall Street and sold us out.

It is Govt for Govt by Govt . Once these type of people are elected nothing will change they are power hungry for themselves.

Ron Paul is the only answer for change and has the record to prove it. I don't think there is any candidates Republican or Democrat that could debate Dr. paul on the Constitution and last 5 minutes.

Ron Paul is the only answer

That said, GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too get the "your comments are awaiting moderation." It makes me feel like I'm being tagged by the CNN police.

I don't know why that is. But, you're not the only one. I have never posted anything objectionable.

I loved him four years ago when he was more free thinking and less tied to the Republican establishment.

Like many independents so far, no way I'm going Republican this time. I learned my lesson over the past 7 years.

McCain tuned down an offer from the North Vietnamese to go home ahead of other POW's, an offer made because of his father's rank and profile. Where in the world are you getting your mis-information

I love that Huckabee suddenly has a great plan and that McCain is going to get things done in Washington. I'm sick of talk. Why does Huckabee's plan contradict his record in Arkansas? Everything that McCain "got done" in Washington has hurt America. (McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, etc.)

Romney has proven he gets good results. He has the best resume on the pile, and he is a good compromise for the "Big Tent" Republican party. I'm pushing for Romney 100%, he has the organization and resources to make the long haul.

Maybe its McCain's "straight talk" that has people weak in the knees. Personally, I think he's the most negative, pessimistic candidate on either side of the aisle. Not to mention he's not a true conservative. We have a "straight talk" president in the oval office right now, and look how well that's worked out. We need a fresh, new face in the white house. Someone who is going to get things done. GO ROMNEY!
