Those OTHER Reasons To Vote For McCain Over Ron Paul John McCain has no clue about our current economic mess and spews rhetoric instead of solutions -- making him a MUCH more traditional Republican than Dr. Paul!by Sherry Baker

I'm BAAAAACK... with some more obvious reasons Ron Paul supporters should GET REAL and back John McCain.
1. War Is Peace!
I covered this in a previous blog , but I'll reiterate it here because it is SO crucial to as to why anyone should vote for McWar.. I mean McCain. YOU WANT TO KEEP THE WAR ( and countless new wars) going! After all, might is right and all that jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-lYKrQPgZM
Now let's move along to additional reasons why McCain should make mucho more sense to the majority of Americans than, say, Ron Paul.
McCain is the most CLUELESS of all the candidates about the economy! YES, ladies and gentleman, if you are tired of worrying about those silly rumors concerning your money being simply paper.. and that the value of the U.S. dollar is crashing.... and if you wouldn't know a hedge fund from a hedgehog , vote for JOHN "Bernanke Who?" McCain!!!!
His economic plan is grand -- all about non-specifics like " inflation is bad". Big Ideas. We don't want to bother our minds with all this complicated math stuff, right?
This McCain blither was so brilliant it almost defies description so I'll give you his direct quote: "I'm glad whenever they cut interest rates. I wish interest rates were zero." Of course, what this would destroy the US banking system. But the point is, he doesn't know that! Bottom line: if you are one of countless Americans who apparently thinks what you don't know can't hurt you -- ta da -- you'll love the fact McCain has figured out the entire economic mess by figuring out nothing!!! Ignorance is bliss!
3. His Family Values Are SOOOOO Republican! Another reason why McCain deserves the vote of the majority of Americans : Why on earth would anyone want a man and woman, like Ron and Carol Paul, in the White House who have been married for 51 years with no hint of scandal when we can continue in the glorious tradition set by so many Republicans? McCain has family values far more in line with the morals that have become the most common traditional ones in the GOP ( can you say Newt "Bill Clinton Deserves Impeachment Over A Blow Job But I Deserve To Never Have My Affairs Brought Up" Gingrich? How about " Rudy "I Can Have The Taxpayers Pay For Security For My Mistress If I want To" Giuliani?) !
Now I personally believe no one has the right to tell any person who has reached the age of consent whom to love or what they can do in their bedrooms (or wherever).
But dontcha love it when the Republicans, especially, throw up (which reminds me, it makes me want to THROW UP..) their holier-than-thou morality? And John is so GOOD at it! ( Actually, I feel nauseous when I think about it. And I've already lost those 5 lbs. I gained over the holidays thinking about it....THANKS, JOHN!).
Cindy McCain will make a BEAUTIFUL First Lady and she's already been through drug rehab a couple of times a la Betty Ford. Waaay to go, Cindy!
It matters not that family man McCain deserted wifey number one and 3 kids in l979 ( after, according to The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, "aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich,", i.e. Cindy). After all, the first wife, who raised their three children while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, had been confined to a wheelchair following a wreck and, some of his supporters have felt the need to explain, "gained weight."
Well, then, that explains it.
How could he have NOT preferred Cindy and besides, it was ever so convenient to then launch his political career with his new wife's family gazillions (give or take a gazillion).
4. Despite being injured when held as a prisoner in Viet Nam he can still do more flip-flops than a world class gymnast at least when it comes to amnesty !
What a guy!!
Remember when John McCain joined Ted Kennedy pushing for the largest amnesty for illegal aliens in American history and even called Senators who refused to support their bill "racists"?
Now, he says he's had an epiphany, of sorts, and heard the "American public", that great amorphous blob the candidates like to refer to. Jaw clinched ,eyes steely, McCain assures us he will "Secure the borders first!" No specifics, just another meaningless P.R. spewed slogan ( and one used by every other candidate). But we can trust John, right? Of course not! Butwhy should the American sheeple care about that lil' ol' fact?
We don't want someone who has actual solutions based on an understanding of history, economics, and the Constitution, like Ron Paul ( actually, there IS no candidate "like" Ron Paul. He's the one and only candidate, in either party, promoting actual substances in this campaign).
That would be soooo yesterday, as in l776-ish.. Instead, let's keep marching to the drums of war , and mediocrity.. and ignorance. That is, if you support John McCain.

Get Libertarians off their back sides and out to vote for Ron Paul.
All this feel good stuff is not worth a thing with out turnout.
Get the delegates out for Ron Paul , work the family and friends in a positive way.
Become a precint leader for Ron Paul join together or we all fail .
It can be done. Tell people what to do and ask them to support or vote for Ron Paul.
If they it won't matter that he has not got a chance then tell them that is even better because they can send a powerfull message of freedom and hope with their support.
If they say they support McCain or Romney or Huckabee move on and find someone else to ask.
Sorry, Josh, but to automatically walk away from those who support other candidates is a foolish option. Better to ask why and discuss the points as needed. As I have stated, many people who support these candidates have a percieved reason for doing so. Such as people who support McCain because he will help end the war quickly. Such a person must be unaware of McCain's 100 year comment. As I have seen in another article, a Huckabee supporter went to the Electoral Compass website and discovered that Ron Paul most closely represented their views. Many people because of lack of knowledge or choices are assigning beliefs to candidates that those candidates do not have. The only reason to walk away from someone who supports another candidate is if they clearly are choosing that candidate from a complete understanding of how that candidate aligns with their own viewpoints.
I'm sorry, but just the mere mention of Insane McCain hits my gag reflex, especially while I have a daughter serving overseas in the military. Of all the MANY military friends and relatives I have, as well as veterans and family members of military... ALL are supporting Ron Paul except one I heard of through a reservist friend who is supporting the tax hike "let's double-Gitmo" guy. I guess his mom dropped him when he was a baby or something.
