John McCain in his book "Worth the fighting for: A Memoir", he wrote "I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of Patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."

He has since claimed that Obama is running on ambition only... not principle or patriotism. Is he insane? In fact, it seems most of the attacks that McCain has made against Obama are actually true of McCain... not Obama.

Sarah Palin made comments in her speech... "Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons...". Later she said "My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery".

If that is true, then she and John McCain should not be on the ticket!

See this video:


Some people want to go to Disneyland or see the world before they die. John McCain wants to be President of the United States. It's just something he wants to do before he dies... sigh

He'll screw everything up, die in his first or second term, and not even live to see the consequences that the American people suffer because of his actions. Perfect!

John McCain first, Country second! drinking

“In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school” “I studied the Koran..”





” I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”






“The emotion between the races could never be pure….. the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”






“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”

Obama, last October


“I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending,” Obama said in the video. “I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.”


Obama, Two Weeks Ago

“I’ve said that we need to increase the size of our military,” Obama answered, noting that such legislation might anger some on the left.

Do you think he is pandering? Sounds like he'll say or do whatever it takes to get elected.

When a poll shows him on the wrong side of an issue he changes sides. Look at off-shore drilling. First he was against it, now he favors it. His stance on anything is in constant flux.

Yes. He had one position when he was running to oust Hillary, now another, and God knows what if he ever got to te White House.

Believe he also changed his position on gun control after the ruling, but do not know the specifics.

He's for change, alright! Just not the kind he's promising!

Hello Airliner...

There is "spin" and there are bald facts.... I'm just presenting his own words so others can judge.
And nobody in this world "spins" better than Democrats.

I didn't see even one person in this thread talk negatively against America. Wanting a better America, one that every person deserves does not make someone Anti American. One could say that being content, and willing to suffice with the status quo when they know the status quo is wrong is anti American.

Me either - there are anti candidate posts aplenty.

BTW Jimmo65, I liked your post above giving some reasonable arguments for your stance. handshake
