I'm a fan of John McCain he was old but very wise and with lots of experience compared to Obama I believe he could do things twice as good.
Actually, McCain was a senile idiot who, much like Dubya, would never have gotten where he was if not for family connections. He graduated at the bottom of his class, and would likely have been expelled from college if not for who his father was. McCain's experience really was not all that impressive.
Quote:
He had a good health plan that didn't sound so liberal like Obamas.
Not really. He never gave any specifics on what exactly his health plan consisted of, and tended to vacillate a lot.
Quote:
His VP pick Sarah Palin understood those like us and wants to help special needs kids.
BS. One of the few things McCain was consistent on was opposing any help to disabled people of any kind. And Palin was sickening to use her son as political leverage. Besides that, Down's and Autism have very little in common.
Quote:
Respected all human life whether unborn or not.
"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."

McCain was also known for spewing racial slurs.
Quote:
He has war experience and knows what it takes.
What is the relevance of his war experience? Knows what what takes?
Quote:
Didn't like when Obama mentioned bombing and attacking Korea
"Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."
Quote:
Thought about the country first and not popularity
Bull. He was a politician.
Quote:
His biggest mistake was the bailout bill or he may have heightened his chances of winning.
His mistakes were many and varied. He had no chance of winning, at any time.
Quote:
I was mad to hear Obama won. There is something wrong about that guy for real. I just don't trust him. I don't like how he bad mouthed McCain and was rude many times during debates.
I often hear people saying they "just don't trust" Obama. What has he done, other than having a funny name? When did he bad-mouth McCain? I seem to remember McCain being more disrespectful than Obama in the debates.
Quote:
Like saying he'd die in office.
I'm pretty sure Obama never said that.
Quote:
I believe people voted for him just for being black and his looks.
And loads of people voted for McCain just because they bought into the chain e-mails about Obama being a Muslim or not a US citizen.
Quote:
What I want in a politician is someone who is going to do the job and do it the right way and get it done.
Then you sure as hell don't want McCain. Whether or not you want Obama for that is debatable, and we'll see as his administration goes on, but McCain would undoubtedly have been a massive screw-up.
