MyDD :: Need some help "proving" McCain is dangerous

Need some help "proving" McCain is dangerous

by Airb330, Tue Apr 29, 2008 at 11:19:23 AM EST

My boyfriend will not believe me when I tell him that John McCain is dangerous. He voted for Hillary here in Pennsylvania, and would vote for her, but not for Obama. I'm trying to convince him to vote for the Democratic nominee. He just keeps spouting that McCain is moderate. His reasoning that McCain has drifted far-right since 2000 was he knew he'd run in 2008. Well I think looking at someone's record 8 years ago is silly. I've thrown everything I can at him, but it's like he is brainwashed by the media. McCain has some hold on the Irish-Catholic's here in PA.

1. His temper (ie C**t incident, yelling at senators)

Tax cuts for the rich, flip flopped
Katrina
His long record of being anti-choice
Bad environmental record

I'm sure there is a lot more...help me out guys. I am almost at the level where we cannot discuss politics because he's just plain wrong haha. I may buy him some books about McCain. If I can convince him, then he can convince his family all of which will vote for McCain over Obama. Sigh, it's going to be a long election! How the heck can a gay person vote for McCain over any democrat is beyond my reasoning. Thanks guys!

Re: Need some help "proving" (none / 0)

If your boyfriend likes Hillary, remind him what McCain said about her daughter. McCain said Chelsea was "so ugly" because "Janet Reno is her father."

Obama and Hillary agree on the issues 90-95% of the time, anyway, so I don't see why he wouldn't vote for Obama. Also, check out my last diary to see some of McCain's most disturbing positions. Tell your boyfriend about those.

Even John McCain lusts after teh engels.

Taxes (none / 0)

Here's a WSJ op-ed about McCain on taxes. It's from the "tax cuts for rich people spur economic growth," but it still has some pertinent info:

No way. No how. No McCain.

get to work getting Hillary the nomination (none / 0)

because even if you can convince him, there are hundreds of thousands of people who will vote for McCain over Obama. Lots of people think that regardless of policy, Obama is not ready and doesn't have the right character to be president.

For Obama it now becomes: Faith, hope and CHANGE! And the greatest of these is Change!

Re: get to work getting Hillary the nomination (2.00 / 2)

Perhaps you should stop encouraging this view, then, as Obama is about 9 times more likely to be the nominee than Clinton. You, like the diarist, should be eager to encourage people to vote for the Democratic nominee.

John McCain
