Why McCain should not be President.

[5th platoon]

Let's get this out of the way. I am neither Pro Obama nor Pro McCain.


I'll start with four big reasons as to why McCain should not be president.

1. Though we can respect his service in the military, someone who has suffered for five years as a POW might be so traumatized, who can predict the demonsin this man's subconscious, such that, should we trust such a man with the nuclear trigger?

2. He is known "hothead", again, reference #1 above, but the operative word is "temperament". He lacks the statesman'stemperament which I believe should be a requisite quality in a president. We've had enough cowboy politics with Bush, we do not need another.

3. He is erratic, a gambler, willing to take egregious gambles with his campaign.

4. He is nothing more than right-wing business-as-usual, abandoning his once cherished maveric status because he simply reiterates all of the right wingtalking points, i.e., "dems want to raise taxes", repubs want to lower taxes", "dems want to make government bigger", "repubs want to make government smaller". Haven't we heard this drivel before, and what did we get? We got America's name dragged in themud, we got a constitution trampled on, we got a deficit careening out of control, we got a crashing dollar, we got inflation on a rampage, we got theenvironment being assaulted on many fronts with Bush's right wing policies.

2. I believe women should have the right to commit their own "sins" in regards to their bodies and tat if it's wrong, that's for God to ruleon. He doesn't need the Morality Middle Men and men have no say in the matter anyway. I'd never vote Pro-life unless Hillary was supporting it.
3. MOST of us are all descendants of "illegals" anyway. this country was founded by "illegals". Hell, my ancestors were brought over hereillegally by "illegals"... what happened to "give me your poor, huddled masses-- yearning to befree"?. Every white man that opposes "illegals" just sounds afraid of change to me.

 

[lnmymind]

He shouldn't be the president because he's going to die very soon

 

[mikykr20]

I am neither Pro Obama nor Pro McCain.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I disagree with nearly all of McCain's policies. I disagree with the theory that we need to stay in Iraq. I don't think tax cuts at the top will helpthe bottom. I think women should have the right to choose. I'm afraid of Sarah Palin in power. I hate how McCain's whole campaign has been based ontearing down Obama, instead of pulling themselves up.

As I type this, Sarah Palin is holding a rally talking about how much of a liar Barack Obama is. How about you tell me more about you, and how you'll helpme? That's what turns me off about McCain/Palin. I keep hearing about how things will be shaken up in Washington, but I don't see how they plan ondoing this.

I respect McCain greatly as a man...but I don't want him as my president.
