Searching for John McCain

This is just a drive-by but I found a blog post that pretty much sums up my view of John McCain.
I'm a fairly liberal guy. I've always voted Democratic and have never once considered voting for anyone on the Right. I really don't have any problems admitting this, so I have no problem saying that I do not want to see John McCain become the next POTUS. I just don't think that McCain is right for the job. I have numerous reasons for holding this belief and I'd be more than willing to share them with anyone who's interested.

I was going through my usual roundup of political blogs when I came upon a post by Chris Bowers over at Daily Kos. He's compiled a nice little list of news stories that focus on just a few of the reasons not to support John McCain. The best part is, the links he provides, for the most part, use McCain's own words to highlight his flawed policies. Anyway, I thought I'd borrow from Chris and put that list up here for anyone who might be interested in seeing just what a McCain presidency might offer.

The Articles

1--John McCain Votes to Filibuster Minimum Wage Hike

2--McCain housing policy shaped by lobbyist

3--Bush, McCain plug Social Security

4--McCain blasts Obama’s and Clinton’s attacks on NAFTA

5--McCain in NH: Would Be "Fine" To Keep Troops in Iraq for "A Hundred Years"

6--McCain: Bush right to veto kids health insurance expansion

7--Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition

8--McCain says overturn the law that legalized abortion

9--McCain Defends Bush's Iraq Strategy

I'd say that's a pretty good start.


I strongly suggest you check out all those articles and pass them along to friends and relatives who might consider voting for Senator McSame.
