Want War: Vote McCain

Poster by Dustin Parker
Here are a few things to keep in mind about McCain as he speaks about his "vision." 
* When McCain talks about tax hikes, it's only individuals making more than $200 million and families, making $250 million who will get a tax hike under Obama. Obama will not continue the Bush tax cuts. Middle class families WILL see their taxes go down.  

* McCain may know about war and hate war but he's not reluctant to use war. If you want another war, elect McCain. He is no diplomat. Republicans don't seem to mind war. They think about it as patriotic, a necessary evil. 

* McCain, like Bush, will continue to use fear tactics to wield military power. 

* McCain has a short temper and is crabby.

* As a republican, McCain is a believer in bootstraps. He doesn't believe government has any obligation to help the poorest of the poor.

* McCain's own website says he will overturn Roe V. Wade: 
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.
* McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. 

* In the 26 years he's been in politics, he's never supported renewable energy. 

* McCain is known to lack structure and organizational skills. 

* McCain is weak on economics. 

* McCain is learning the Internet.

* McCain's judgement is questionable. 

* Oil will continue to be dominant theme in a McCain administration.

* McCain's next in line, Ms. Mooseburger, delivers a Rovian speech really well but her qualifications are questionable. Prolife and motherhood won't help salve Russian relations. 

* War hero does not equal leader and is not a qualification for the presidency. Sorry. It just isn't and I'm tired of hearing it.

* Republicans had 8 years and they blew it big time.
