Kevin Tracy’s reasons to not vote for McCain
Wed. July 16, 2008Categories: Government / Economics
Kevin Tracy, this guy I came across a few days back, is having problems pulling the proverbial lever for McCain. And here’s why:
What will John McCain actually do for the conservative movement?He’s proven that we can’t trust him on judges (he helped Democrats block conservative nominees of President Bush). He’s outright, undeniably LIED about amnesty. His track record of “working with Democrats” involves him caving to Democrats on every major issue that’s come before the Senate. He’s a better communicator than President Bush, but he still fails to inspire any major voting block in the Republican Party. He’s lied about gay adoption. He’s going to do nothing about gay marriage. He’s flip-flopped on equal work-equal pay. He has a well documented hot head and short fuse with a dangerous prejudice against Russia. He’s admitted his own lack of knowledge on the economy before flat-out denying he ever said anything like that. He opposes drilling in ANWR. He opposes a National Right to Life Amendment. He opposes the Fair Tax. He is in bed with telecom lobbyists and on a first name basis with every other lobbyist in Washington, many of which are helping run his campaign. And if elected, all indicators are that he will be a constant thorn in the side of conservative Congressional candidates, preventing us from taking back the Congress for another four to eight years.
Tactically, a vote for McCain is a mistake. Strategically, a vote for McCain is a mistake. Morally, a vote for McCain is a mistake.
The only thing I find humorous that he hates [hate is probably too strong a word and perhaps it was the RP Spammers that he severly disliked] Ron Paul, yet is beginning to find kinship in Bob Barr. If you read Bob Barr’s stuff along side Ron Paul’s stuff — they are, almost to the letter, exactly the same.
