Kontra McCaina

[maruda.r]

"McCain pokazywał, że nie jest jednowymiarowy, wzmocnił swój wizerunek
polityka chodzącego własnymi ścieżkami."

**********************************

Własnymi? McCain był dotąd oceniany, jako polityk, który chodzi wszędzie, ale
nie własnymi ścieżkami. Chodzi więc po znanych i uczęszczanych szlakach w
nadziei, że wielu go na nich zobaczy. Być może to jest dobra i skuteczna
metoda. Sęk w tym, że nie ma nic wspólnego z przyjętym znaczeniem "chodzenia
własnymi drogami".

Zgadza się, Hilary, jako drugi „wiceprezydent” McCaina (bo jej
wyborcy w znacznej mierze deklarują, że na niego zagsłosują) nie
rozbija partii Republikanów.

Pani Palin-chwyt marketingowy Republikanów

[brutt]

Republikanie, widząc że niezdecydowani wyborcy są juz gotowi na zmiany i
wydali się przyciągnięci "magią Pani Clinton", sprytnie podsuneli wyborcom
swoja wersje Clinton- bardziej drapieżną i energetyczna, łatwą w trawieniu, i
odpowiadajaca smakom konserwatywnej klasy sredniej- Pania Palin.
Tak wiec, nadal beda rzadzic Republikanie z McCain na czele, a Palin bedzie
taka papryczka-dodatkiem, nie znaczacym wiele po wyborach. Spelni swoje
zadanie przyciagniecia tych bardziej liberalnych republikanow (kuriozum) i tyle.

[adrem63]

Nic dziwnego, że Marcin Bosacki nie pisze o tym co mówią kandydaci.
Jak się domyślam dla Amerykanina nie ważne jest co kto mówi tylko
jak mówi.
Pani Palin choć gada „jak najęta” to zdaje się, że siły ekspresji
Adolfa Hitlera jeszcze nie osiągnęła, ale jak się jeszcze bardziej
postara...

Autor przygotowuje nas na zwycięstwo wyborcze Mac Caina
i republikanów,wcale bym się nie zdziwił jeśli przypomnieć sobie
okoliczności w jakich "wygrał" Bush. Co potem było pewnie już
wyborcy zapomnieli, albo uwierzą dzięki Palin, że teraz będzie
inaczej.
„Dziwny jest ten świat...”

Prawdziwe oblicze John McCain
Meet The REAL John McCain

The media has labeled John McCain a “moderate maverick” and a
reformer. That moniker could not be more misrepresentative of the
core values of the current Republican candidate running for
President. The real John McCain has a history of voting against
women, veterans, education and the preservation of our civil
liberties, in addition to abstaining completely from voting to
safeguard our environment in 2007. McCain stated in January of 2008
at the March of Life in Washington DC, "If I am fortunate enough to
be elected as the next President of the United States, I pledge to
you to be a loyal and unswerving friend of the right to life
movement." McCain also pledged to appoint judges in the mold of
conservatives John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who he feels
are “jurists of the highest caliber.” And the much revered war hero
was 1 of only 13 Republicans to vote against benefits for veterans,
preferring to give tax cuts to the rich, rather than provide
veterans with adequate healthcare.

In 2000, George W. Bush campaigned as the “compassionate
conservative” and pundits praised him as the anti-elite cowboy you’d
want to share a beer with. As our country spirals into a recession,
as gas prices climb past $4.00 a gallon, as banks foreclose on
families’ homes, as the middle class disappears and more Americans
become trapped in poverty, five major oil companies reported record
breaking profits so far this year, with Exxon-Mobile making a $40.6
billion windfall alone. These last eight years under
the ‘compassionate’ Bush Administration, the rich have become richer
at the expense of hardworking Americans. In November, the public
can’t allow themselves to be duped again. The real John McCain is
anything but a “moderate maverick.” Rather, he is just another
deeply conservative Republican looking to continue the work of the
Bush Administration…and if you want proof, just look at his voting
record.

John McCain on Veteran Affairs:
2006 Rating from Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America:

Veterans Benefits
• May 2008: McCain is currently opposed to the Post-9/11
Veterans Educational Assistance Act (S 22), proposed by Senators Jim
Webb and Chuck Hagel, to raise GI benefits to a level similar to

for veterans for up to 4 years at the in-state public university
level.
Troop Withdrawal
• September 2007: McCain voted against the Webb amendment
calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.
• July 2007: McCain voted against a plan to draw down troop
levels in Iraq.
• June 2006: McCain voted against a resolution that Bush start
withdrawing troops that year, but did not state a deadline to do so.
Veteran Health Care
• May 2006: McCain voted against an amendment that would
provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for health
care facilities.
• April 2006: McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote
against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for
Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.

services funding by $1.5 billion in 2007 to be paid for by closing

allow for an increase in Veterans' medical care by $1.8 billion by
eliminating abusive corporate tax loopholes.
Troop Armor
• October 2003: McCain voted to table an amendment that called
for an additional $322 million for safety equipment for United
States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for
reconstruction in Iraq by $322 million.
• April 2003: McCain urged other Senate members to table a
vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for
National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage
of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts and tactical vests.

John McCain on Women’s Issues
In his own words: ““I do not support Roe v. Wade. It should be
overturned.”
Reproductive Rights and Women’s Health Care
2007 Rating from NARAL: Pro Choice America and Planned Parenthood: 0
• August 2007: McCain voted to codify a controversial
legislation that allows states to make an embryo or fetus—but not a
pregnant woman—eligible for healthcare coverage.
• October 2003: McCain repeatedly voted for (and co-sponsored)
the Federal Abortion ban, a law that criminalizes some abortion
services, with no exception to protect a woman’s health, and carries
up to a two-year prison sentence for doctors.
• May 2003: McCain supported the Unborn Victims of Violence
Act, a law that grants separate legal status to an embryo or fetus.
• March 2003: Voted against a resolution in support of Roe v.
Wade and a woman’s constitutional right to safe and legal abortion
services.
(From Naral: Pro-Choice America)
Equal Pay
2006 Rating from NOW: 13%
• April 2008: McCain opposed the recent Lilly Ledbetter Fair
Pay Act, the Senate bill that sought equal pay for women. It failed
to pass in the Senate by a 56-42 vote, with McCain using the excuse
that it would make it easier for women to sue their employers for
pay discrimination.
John McCain on the Environment
2007 Rating from the League of Conservation Voters: 0
• McCain was the only member of Congress to skip every single
crucial environmental vote scored by the League of Conservation
Voters. When it comes to the environment, good intentions are not
enough. A candidate for President needs to have a voting record on
one of the most important global issues right now to show that he
took a stand.
Below is a list of all the important environmental bills that McCain
was absent for in 2007:
Cloture on H.R. 6, the energy bill (6/21, Vote 225)
Passage of H.R. 6, the energy bill (6/21, Vote 226)
Maintaining Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) in H.R. 6 (12/7,
Vote 416)
Taking away giveaways to Big Oil to subsidize clean energy (12/13,
Vote 425) Loosening public health and environmental regulations on
refineries (6/13, Vote 210) Undermining the RES with coal and
nuclear energy (6/14, Vote 211)
Offshore drilling in Virginia (6/14, Vote 212)
Liquid coal (6/19, Vote 213)
Environmental safeguards for biofuels (6/20, 219)
Consider global warming for water projects (5/15, Vote 166)
Appropriately prioritizing water projects (5/15, Vote 165)
International family planning (9/6, Vote 320)
Farm Bill subsidy reform (12/11, Vote 417)
Farm Bill subsidy caps (12/13, Vote 424)
Eminent Domain for public parks (12/3, Vote 429)
(From League of Conservation Voters)
John McCain on Education
2007 Rating from the National Education Association: 0
• July 2007: McCain voted against a bill that would
appropriate $32.9 billion from 2008 through 2017 for Promise grants
to low-income and high-need students that are eligible for federal
Pell Grants. The bill also proposed an increase in authorized
deferments for federally insured student loans, interest subsidies,
direct loans and Perkins loans from three years to six years of
economic hardship

John McCain on Civil Liberties
• February 2008: McCain voted to pass a bill that shields from
lawsuits telecommunications companies that helped the government
eavesdrop on their customers without court permission after the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
• March 2006: McCain voted to reauthorize the highly flawed
Patriot Act, which strips Americans of some of their civil
