Mc Cain wins Michigan

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Mc Cain won because the Democrats came in by the hundreds I guess to vote. What a phoney bunch they are.

McCain got what is called "a hollow victry".

He gets to a state where only Republicans can vote in a GOP primary and he loses his ass.

He won in mich because Kervorkans lawyer Feiger went on the warpath to get even with Engler and to put the weaker GOP guy against Gore.

I can't believe how stupid some people are, to think that the oddball "election" they had in mich counts for anything in the grand scope of things.

Gay and Charles,

Out of curiosity ... what exactly is it that you don't like about McCain?

-- Cheryl (Transplant@Oregon.com), February 22, 2000.


My wife and I will vote for McCain if he is the Republican nominee, but for Gore otherwise. Same is true for virtually every semi-liberal in the US.

Hate to tell ya Charles, but McCain is your only hope.

Well for starters...

McCain is a Traitor,

He Collaborated with the enemy

He broke the Code of Military Conduct many, many, times

He received "special treatment because he was the Admirals son"

He was never really tortured in Nam

He ditched 2 aircraft because he "ran out of gas"

He divorced his wife after she was seriously injured in a car accident, and confined to a wheelchair.

Everytime a colleague in the Senate would bring up the POW/MIA issue, he would be the first to shoot it down.

Is that enough, or do you want more?

Semper Fi

I am somewhat concerned about McCain b/c I'm afraid he's going to get us into another war. He was literally howling for blood when we were out bombing Serbia a year ago. Also, he is an avowed, headstrong globalist/interventionist. He thinks that we should use American power and hegemony to kick as much ass as possible.

I, personally, would opt for a less obtrusive and bellicose foreign policy.

Furthermore--while I am still on the fence about this "campaign finance reform" thing--I've been wondering whether McCain's plans would amount to a prohibition of our first ammendment rights. It seems that ethical conduct is called for among politicians who want to be elected, but I see great potential for harm in adding more arcane laws and statues to an electoral system already beset with so-called "reforms." It seems that accepting contributions from foreign governments is clearly uncalled for, but we already have laws against treason and accepting bribes, don't we?

On a positive note, McCain has a nice, down-to-earth style about him that makes him seem easy to understand and almost relate to. On a negative note, what would years of torture, brainwashing, and beatings do to the sanity of a man?

All in all, I am very uncomfortable with McCain, as I am with GW Bush. The Democrats? Don't even go there. Looks like I'm going to have to cast my vote for the libertarians.

I'm sure it's just me, but they all "scare" me on some level.

Sure would like someone I could "feel" comfortable about.

Apparently, I'm out of touch.

It's a shame when we have to vote for the lessor of two evils, but that's how I see it.

I think it's wrong that people from one party can switch to another party, for the primary, and then switch back again, for the November election. If it hadn't been for that, McCain wouldn't have won Michigan. He won because the Dems feel if they help elect him , he'll be easier to beat, in the finals, because of the his dirty laundry.

"Hey, Shrub, whadya do during the Vietnam War?"

"I joined the Gaurd so I could fly them jet planes!"

"Whadya do after the War?"

"I bought a baseball team and made a small fortune!"

"Shrub, they say you are all hat and no cattle??"

"I don't herd cattle, just sheeple."

I find both McCain and Gore "scary". McCain in his speech as Luke Skywalker complaining that everybody was out to get him seems like bordering on paranoid delusional.

Gore can't seem to figure out who he is. One day he sounds like Jesse Jackson preachin the next he's Screamin at the audience. Also his exagerations and lies seem delusional. His jestures and movements drive me nuts. I think maybe he's a Cyborg.

Bush has a smirk and sometimes has trouble with sentence structuring but he doesn't scare me.

Boy! I'm really excited with the choices.

Some one asked what I don't like about McCain. I don't trust him because he collaborated with the enemy. I saw him in congress pushing to bomb the Christians in Serbia, I think that was what really ticked me more than anything. I am ashamed of those who promoted that war. It has left a terrible black mark on our country. I don't like bullies and I hate injustice. I also don't like it that democrats voted for him. What does that tell you?
