New and improved: John McCain 2.7 (upgrade for JM2.6)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The current version of John McCain, which we can call John McCain 2.7, is remarkable. He is a conservative warrior! He is the very model of a family values man! Of course, he is nothing like John McCain 2.6, the version which was offered to the American people 5-7 months ago. And that John McCain is totally different from his long record in the Senate, John McCain 1.0.

Let’s compare the “features” of John McCain 1.0 vs 2.7:

1.0: Oppose Bush tax cuts, votes against. 2.7: Will make Bush tax cuts permanent.

1.0: Considers religious nuts “agents of intolerance.” 2.7: Kisses religious nuts

1.0: Opposes torture of all sorts. 2.7: Votes to support Bush veto supporting torture.

1.0: Supports troops. 2.7: Votes against improved GI Bill.

1.0: Insulted Chelsea Clinton. 2.7: Respects Hillary.

1.0: Against offshore drilling. 2.7: For offshore drilling.

1.0: Did not oppose gay marriage. 2.7: Opposes gay marriage.

2.6: Took Federal matching funds. 2.7: Illegally spending private money.

1.0: Opposed illegal federal wiretaps. 2.7: Supports unconstitutional FISA bill.

Is John McCain 2.7 even the same person as John McCain 1.0? This is not flip-flopping, this is on the level of Olympic snowboarding, where they do triple back-flips.

Of course, 1.0 and 2.7 do share some features. Version 1.0 helped contributors steal billions of dollars in public lands, and 2.7 doesn’t disagree. They both take money from corrupt financiers like Charles Keating. John McCain 2.7 is still as corrupt as John McCain 1.0.

There is a new study out on McCain’s Health Care Plan. Many people will pay MORE taxes under McCain’s plan. Want to know how much YOUR taxes will go up? Click on the link, go to page 14, and look up your income. Just remember, negative figures in the chart represent tax INCREASES.

John McCain’s Health Care Plan Would Raise Taxes on Many Middle-Class Families

ps amazed, why won’t McCain give more details about his plan? The assumptions are reasonable given what McCain has already announced.

Mr. Thompson

Lets look at Obama, version 2007-2008:

Anti-American
Racist
Liar
Rev. Wright
Weather Underground William Aires and Aire’s wife
Michele not a proud American
Voted present 70% of the time in Il.
Wants a bigger Nanny State
Higher taxes on all
Midwesterners Clings to guns
Midwesterners Clings to religion
Universal Health
Tony Rezo
Far left wing
Flip Flop on campaign finance
Flip Flop lapel pin
Will not salute our flag
Will not drill for oil
No nuke power
Anti Military
Against handguns before he was for it
Piss poor judgement
Unfettered abortions
Most liberal voting record in the US Senate
He was against FISA before he was for FISA
Unable to speak without a teleprompter
Windfall profits tax
Rerun Jimmy Carters FAILED policys
Sweetheart real estate deals

It’s not exactly a newsflash that Obama is veering ridiculously to the center in a rather shameless attempt to reinvent himself, and his wife.

So it’s a bad thing to change your mind?

He opposed to tax cuts when they were first proposed, but now, years later he realizes that to take them back would be a tax increase for americans at the worst possible time.

Offshore drilling: He didn’t think it was necessary several years ago, but now in the current situation, thinks it should be open to debate.

As far as supporting the troops…he was proposing a better GI bill than the one that passed. Imagine that!

McCain doesn’t think religion should be a part of politics, but unfortunately it is, so he has to at least try to attract the right, just as Obama must.

A little perspective never hurt anyone.

Let’s look at McCain:

Cindy an adulteress and drug addict who stole drugs from her own charity

Lisa12 do you have anything constructive to say? Legitimate arguments? Apparently not as you choose to go off-topic and snipe at Cindy when you realize your losing the legitimate-argument on the current topic.

I will not say McCain is perfect….however he’s better than Obama and that is what matters.

Cindy McCain in not running for President.

Obama has admitted using drugs.

YOUR POINT?????

Lisa 12:

1) Cindy didn’t know he was married (separated) when they met.
2) Do you condemn all recovering addicts (especially those to make monetary restitution. She’s done more good things for children than most people I’ve ever met.

As far as the actual candidate McCain. He has shown integrity during his career, AND he has admitted his past mistakes, poor choices. Has Obama done that? Nah, he just throws people under the bus (Rev. Wright). McCain loves his country, this I can say without doubt. I cannot say the same about Obama.

Hey Lisa-

In your previous posts you clamied that McCain was going to kill 20 million Americans with his health care plan. What happened?

This letter is an absolute joke. Barack Obamamessiah is the ultimate flip-flopper. Obamamessiah is the most corrupt politician running for president in a long time. It is The Obamamessiah who got sweetheart loans from friend/business partner/fundraiser/convicted felon Tony Rezko. It is Obamamessiah who promised to publically finance his campaign, then abandonded that promise, just like he promised to stand by Rev Wright and then threw him under the bus.

Barack Obamamessiah pormised to filibuster the FISA bill, now he supports it. Obamamessiah cannot wait to raise taxes.

Note how every single terrorist in the world has endorsed Barack Hussein Obamamessiah. He has been endorsed by Hamas, JI (the Phillipine branch of al-Qaeda), castro, gadaffi, Castro, Chavez, and of course Ahmadininutjob.

Plus, Obama is so stupid he doesn’t even know which buttons to push when he wanted to vote during his 12 minutes in the Illinois legislature, as described by the LA Times:

Obama angered fellow Democrats in the Illinois Senate when he voted to strip millions of dollars from a child welfare office on Chicago’s West Side. But Obama had a ready explanation: He goofed.
“I was not aware that I had voted no,” he said that day in June 2002, asking that the record be changed to reflect that he “intended to vote yes.”
That was not the only misfire for the former civil rights attorney first elected to the state Senate in 1996. During his eight years in state office, Obama cast more than 4,000 votes. Of those, according to transcripts of the proceedings in Springfield, he hit the wrong button at least six times.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-obamavotes24jan24,0,4956975,full.story

Obamamessiah thinks there are 57 states in the US, doesn’t know where he is half the time, he falsely claimed that 10,000 people dies in a Kansas tornado (the actual death toll was 12), and wants to give free “breathalyzers and inhalitors” to asthmatic children.

This lying amateur cannot be trusted!

Are you people going to really be stupid enough to believe that this is a change of heart and mind? One’s who believe this non-sense deserve that your beloved Bush and his administration stay in office.

Gee, didn’t it take you guys a long time to figure out that Bush was a poor leader among other things. I hate saying that because he has such a great wife and daughter who it must hurt to hear such awful things.
