3 Ways McCain Can Still Irk the Right

We worked very hard to make it and finally we are going to succeed.

We were irresponsible at the Federal, State, Local and individual level.

We overspent at all levels and thought that we better spend, spend now even if our future generations were going to be holding the bag.

At the Federal level they thought that printing fiat money would solve everything and it did until pay the piper day came.

And came it did, we are broke and still have an illusion of normality because our main enemy (China) is waiting for that opportune moment for the shot in the head.

And in a few months we will have a new president which will in effect unconditionally surrenders our sovereignty to the one world government during his four years while the people enjoy a hard earned depression.

May God have mercy on our country even if it does not deserves it.

Unfortunately, John McCain already irks me and I'm a republican. In addition his lack of concern for America's small business owners and the constant military card played, I don't trust his smirk. It doesn't come across as sincere. It comes across as "I know something you don't or yea, that's right, I know more than you do."

I can appreciate how he calls everyone his "friends" yet he does so in such a condescening manner. And while this sounds awful, it is true. I feel like he is wearing a very tight mask. His neck wrinkles with age and from the back he looks like he is the 72 year old that he is. Yes, his mother is 95 but how old was his father when he passed? That seems unfair. Age shouldn't matter, but I want someone who is healthy, energetic, driven, and spirited to lead this country. Look at what the stress of the presidency does to those who hold the position? McCain's hair is already white. Where does he go from here?

Finally, the biggest irk is that McCain doesn't know any other kind of life besides the military and the senate, and I can't say my life is any better for what he has done while in Washington. I look at Huckabee's record as Arkansas governor for 10 years and I say, "Now that guy got things done. He's worked it. He's proven he can make changes to better the lives of average people like me. For that reason, I say "Fight on and thank you for hanging in there. You've got my vote."

Ummm....it is amazing to me that you fiscal cons simply downplay the social cons and evangelicals. For that reason, and that reason alone, John McCain is unelectable. If he doesn't choose Huckabee than it is all over....guaranteed.

This is one reason I don't want McCain in office. He will not introduce anything new for our economy. Raising payroll taxes? In the end that means less money for small business owners. That leads to lower wages or less benefits - and the cycle goes on.

Then comes the war monger in McCain. God bless him for his service but that doesn't give him the license to swing a big stick in the air to make sure all other countries know he is ready for them. Bush and McCain have both said in public forum that they will "protect out interest" in the Middle East. I am sure that does not "only" include our soldiers being there or long term of protecting the USA.

No, this war wouldn't be going on like it is if we were energy independent. That is the bottom line. We might help out the Iraqi's no doubt on that but we wouldn't be forking out trillions of dollars.

In all honesty, McCain make me sick to my stomach. No one really knows his plans/ideas for our country. Every debate he answered 80% of his questions with this cloud of how he served our country and he will pledge to protect us. That isn't good enough for me.

Alot of people throw blows at Huckabee but he has done a much better job at answering difficult questions and providing some details on a complex idea; fairtax. If I am going to vote for a Republican then Huckabee has my support.
