John McCain - A Fraud

As you now know, John McCain is the leading Republican candidate so far for the 2008 Presidential election. All the other major-leaguers have bowed out because they couldn't win, or because they just ran out of money (Fred Thompson, Rudy, and today, Mitt Romney).

This leaves us with three very exciting possibilities...

• a Congressman from Brazoria county who says mall security does a better at securing America than the Marines (Dr. Ron Paul, OB/GYN)
• a Joel Olsteen-like preacher who thinks he's funny, but really not (Mike Huck-a-schmuck)
• and the "Clinton of the Right," John McCain the war hero.

You will hear a lot about McCain's war record. That is because he wants to remove the focus from his terrible domestic policy record, and focus us on just his heroism from many years ago.

Let me tell you though, McCain's heroism in Vietnam was much more real than John Kerry's ever was.

But McCain's record is one of secrets and deceit - a record of fraudulent and adulterous Republicanism.

Here is his trail of tears:

• Gang of 14
• He stopped conservatives in Congress from preventing unconstitutional Democrat filibusters of true conservative Supreme Court nominees. All SC nominees deserve an up-or-down (yes-or-no) vote, but McCain the Liberal led the fight on the other side of the aisle - with the Democrats.
• McCain/Feingold
• This is campaign finance reform, which allows only the rich to run for President and other high office. This leads to the destruction of our First Amendment, as this completely prevents the "little people" from purchasing ad time on television (the easiest way to reach lots of people at the same time) to inform others about candidates.
  
• Drilling in ANWR
• McCain compares ANWAR to the Everglades and the Grand Canyon.
• John Kerry's Vice-President
• Yes, it's true. Thought about being VP for Frankenstein.

• McCain/Kennedy amnesty
  
• Do you like illegal immigration? John McCain does! McCain wrote amnesty legislation in the summer of 2007 with Ted Kennedy to grant amnesty for 12-30 million illegal immigrants in America. If we disagreed, we were racists or bigots.
  
• Rights for terrorists
• "Supports giving lawyers and American rights to foreign terrorists, bringing them to our homeland, then setting them free to roam about with zero interrogation. No understanding of the War on Terror, this being his evidence of it."
• Lies
• "Frequently lies about his record including smearing Romney for something he didn't say, ie. "timetables". An action condemned by nearly every conservative and media op in the country."
• Anti-Tax Cuts
• "Voted against the Bush Tax Cuts before he voted to make them permanent. The latter being only so he could attempt to run for President as a 'Republican'."
• Anti-Capitalism
• "Constantly speaking out against big business including all the jobs Romney created in the private sector. All for the sake of a cheap shot in a debate on TV."
• Anti-Conservative judges
• "Mentioned specifically that he would not have nominated Sam Alito to the SCOTUS. Unforgivable."

Now, the most attentive reader will recognize that I did not mention McCain on pro-life issues. He is abysmal on that as well. This is from Ann Coulter's most recent column:

"Although McCain has the minimum pro-life record demanded by the voters of Arizona, in 2006, McCain voted in favor of using taxpayer funds to harvest stem cells from human embryos. He opposes a constitutional amendment to protect human life. And he frets that if Roe v. Wade were overruled, women's lives would be "endangered." This is the same John McCain who chides Mitt Romney today for "flip-flopping" on abortion. At least Romney flips and stays there.

Of course the most important issue for pro-lifers is the Supreme Court. As long as Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, it doesn't matter how many hearts and minds we've changed. So it's not insignificant that McCain has called Justice Samuel Alito too conservative."

Now can you finally understand the conservative outrage amongst the party faithful? McCain talks a good game of "uniting the party," but he is the one DIVIDING us. It's him and his liberal foolishness that will cause us to loose the next election - lest we find a true conservative in the next nine months.
