John McCain is too weak to become president!
Now, let me first start off by saying, I have the utmost respect for John McCain and his time as a POW. But, that is where my respect for him ends. I believe these are the types of issues that we should be addressing here! John McCain is the true enemy. We cannot afford a Bush third term!

My first complaint is how he had befriended all of the same people who accused him of having an illegitimate black baby. This was a Bush administration stunt that was a personal attack on him. So, instead of him defending himself against that attack, he ended up giving Bush a huge bear-hug. If he cannot defend himself and his family, how is he going to defend our country?

Rove invented a uniquely injurious fiction for his operatives to circulate via a phony poll. Voters were asked, "Would you be more or less likely to vote for John McCain...if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?" This was no random slur. McCain was at the time campaigning with his dark-skinned daughter, Bridget, adopted from Bangladesh.

My second complaint is how he voted against the Martin Luther King Holiday.

John McCain has said he championed establishing a holiday in honor of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and that he is "very proud" of his record. But the
truth is, McCain has a long record of opposing the holiday. In fact, in 1983
McCain did something not even Dick Cheney did: he voted in Congress against a
federal holiday in honor of Dr. King, which President Reagan later signed into
law.


Lastly, because I could go on about the man. For him to be a Vet, he has done nothing to support his fellow military men/women.

According to Disabled American Veterans, McCain voted almost a dozen separate times against spending additional money on veterans' health care in 2005 and 2006, even as hundreds of thousands of soldiers and Marines were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and filing disability claims with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

2. His whole campaign will be rather sad & tragic. A simple recounting
of his policy positions on Social Security & other relevant social issues alone will be enough to ruin any chance of him getting more than 30% of the national vote. No need to get personal & nasty with the guy at this point.
