If I were talking to a fairly uneducated voter who thought they might want to support McCain, what would you say to dissuade him from voting for McCain?



(I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this, but none of the others really applied either)
 
Simple answer?

He's against individual rights and favors sacrificing them for the greater good.

Long answer?

Watch this video.
 
I've stopped talking about unjustified/undeclared war and gone with a much simpler approach...

Right or wrong, we just can't afford everything we are currently doing...
 
4 more years of bush, only bush with a horrible temper and even less idea what makes the economy works.
 
McCain is no worse than...

Despite what Limbaugh, Hannity and their ilk claim, McCain is no worse than Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Gingrich or the rest. He is every bit the big government conservative as his critics are.
 
McCain will run budget deficits due to his views on foreign policy. That my friends will destroy our economy. Then the terrorists will win.
 
there is alot.

1. 100 yrs in iraq
2 gonna be more wars
3. cosponsored the amnesty bill
4. hired 2 'mexico' first politicians
5. keating 5
6. sponsore a bill 2 years ago that would have extended health coverage to mexico!!!!!!!

Here's the simplest terms possible:

In one easy question- Would you want George W. Bush for a third term as President?

If, yes- vote for McCain: preaching the same thing, strong on foreign policy and weak on domestic policy, esp the economy.
 
I tend to just say...his voting record is almost the exact same as Hillary Clinton...
 
Amnesty. Gun control. No understanding of the economy. No understanding of foreign policy (thinks former K.G.B. head Vladimir Putin is "president" of Germany). In the pockets of the arms dealers--which isn't even good for defense (want to blow the whole defense budget on $600 hammers?). Too excitable to stay rational in a crisis. Depending on who you're talking to--gun control, gun control, gun control.
 
If you really want to cut it down to one issue to let someone see he isn't conservative I would say his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants.

This represents an attack on the rule of law, an attack on limited government (as in government having to apply laws on everyone the same however inconvenient), an attack on American independence and an attack on America's culture.

Huckabee's record is equally poor.

It is quite simple - there is only one guy running now - in either party - who will stop amnesty for millions fo law-breakers and that's Ron.
