Comments on: McCain warns of increasing Iranian influence http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/18/mccain-warns-of-increasing-iranian-influence/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Kris In Atlanta http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/18/mccain-warns-of-increasing-iranian-influence/#comment-748547 Kris In Atlanta Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:13:47 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?p=5947#comment-748547 McCain is not the knight in shining armor many of you-undoubtedly Bush supporters-portray him to be. Don't you realize the egregious ironies in his foreign policy platform? He wants to stay in Iraq but no one has bothered to ask him why. With U.S. deaths now in the thousands, no rational mind can think this Iraq situation is not quickly becoming a Vietnam. McCain is lying to you. He wants to possibly attack an Iran that is already mortally fearful of their country being laid to waste by American hands like Iraq has been. And McCain, in his haste to sell Americans out to Mexican special interests, has no plan to control the border-which is the ACTUAL first line of defense in national security. This man is a fraud, a crude copy of George Bush, and he wants to outsource our border security to Mexico., giving illegals carte blanche to run amuck with impugnity. Don't be stupid people-this man is not what America needs in the White House. McCain is not the knight in shining armor many of you-undoubtedly Bush supporters-portray him to be.

It is a vicious circle. A lot of people seem to vote for a pro war politician arguing that he/she is strong in national defense. The politician then uses the "we are at war and I have the experience" card and people buy into that and re-elect him/her. People who have this voting pattern do not bother to ask if the politician is taking them to unjust war. And they seem to fail to recognize that war is generally a dehumanizing force. Richard, can you hear me! You said, "McCain is the right person to lead this nation at this time." How so? Both Clinton and McCain voted for the unjust war. Unjust because no WMD and no link to Al-Qaeda, the prime reasons for going to war, are found. So why do you believe his is the right person at this time?

Using fear is his only hope, dare I use the terms "fear" and "hope" in the same sentence. Mccain is clinging to those who wish to perpetuate tyranny and warfare, while Obama wishes to UNITE THE WORLD.

McCain said he'd work for sanctions on Iran, not go to war. Big difference. I'm sure John McCain is not looking forward to mare war, and wants it to end asap. However, he's not stupid enough to just leave and let radical groups come in a take over. It happened in the past, he does not want it to happen again. He cares about the American people, but most Americans are too ignorant to understand. It's all well and good for people to oppose war, but honestly, the American people know very little about what is actually going on. There are terrible things that the general public cannot even begin to wrap their feeble little minds around. So shut up and quit whining. We're in there whether you like it or not, and it's stupid to not finish. I cannot even entertain the thought of voting for Obama. His "words" are meaningless. He has a practically non-existant congressional voting record, and when he does vote, it's consistantly to the left. He will never unite the parties, and he has NO experience. Sure, he talks the talk, but can he deliver on all those empty promises? I cannot vote for someone who thinks that words and rainbows and "hope" are gonna fix the US. This does not mean I favor Hillary, at all, but at least she has a little experience. John McCain will cross party lines, and help America. He's the only hope to get rid of this partisan mentality, which will become the downfall of the US. George Washington was right, political parties suck. Has anyone actually read the article?
