Guest bengalrick Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 [quote name='ChicagoBengal' date='Jun 7 2005, 04:35 PM']The thing is, with the Democratic party a complete joke right now (and I'm registered Democrat), a guy like McCain may alienate some of his, for lack of a better term, constituency, but he would bring over a huge number of swing voters who are feeling alienated by their own party. [right][post="100438"][/post][/right][/quote] i'll say this, if he makes it past the primilaries... he'll be the president... he will have some work to do though... i agree, he is a moderates dream... i would probably support him too, and i've never even been called a democrat or liberal... he would take the white house, if he can make to that point... supposidly he was asked by kerry to be his VP... if that would have came true, we would be saying president kerry right now [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//31.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b]moderates and liberals may hate him, but he does have ALOT of clout w/ conservatives... mccain would bring guys like steggy in and maybe get my vote, depending on what he was running on, but would move a lot of the far right... much further... in other words, the chances of him really winning are slim to none, b/c he'll never make it out of the republican priliminaries... if we could find a way to bring the democratic party more to the center (like this) and we would really be talking!! tell the michael moore bunch to go fuck theirselves and i'd start looking at the democrats again... until then, i'll pray that the rep's keep making me happy...

That’s why I can at least respect O’Riley because he will at least cop to the fact he's a sensationalist. I think McCain's bigger problem would be with the religious right, his refusal to speak at Bob Jones University was done with the right reasons, (their discriminatory interracial dating policy) but it was a political mistake that cost him some votes, which is a shame. I agree with many in the religious right and their basic goals, but I think a lot of them take it too far. McCain's bigger problem would be with them, the Rush guys are a minority if you ask me.

Jamie_B Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Rick I think the other thing that was hurting McCain was that he is a senator, when was the last time someone who worked here in DC won the Presidency? People outside of DC have a vile hatred for the politicians in it. (Some of which is good reason mind you, some not) Smoov, believe me I have no love for Bob Jones University (it's people like them that destroy what Christianity is all about but that’s a different thread), and I agree with you it shows his character I was just speaking in a political posturing tone. Homer, the sophist huh? I remember vaguely reading about them, I guess one could say the same thing about the Pharisees. [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3.gif[/img] As far as McCain, I never really followed him until probably around 96-97 timeframe and only because he was in a committee (I forget which one) that had to do with internet/tech policy. I thought I had remembered reading in a Webweek article where he was in favor of expanding the number of H1-B visa's. I was very opposed to that because I thought it better to train Americans to do those jobs, and it would be cheaper to do so. Like I said it turned out I was mistaken.

Rush has never really got into the religious aspect of it all.. [right][post="100712"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] Funny enough i listened to him this afternoon for about 5 minutes (all i could take). he was saying that Democrats are more afraid of Christians than they are of Islamists. That they are more afraid of Christians than they are of Al Qaeda and other enemies of the U.S. He believes it is because most of the democrats are truly secularists, they want government to be God and the writing of activist judges to be their bible (**trys to calm down Rick**). He even played a quote from some moderate Republican senator claiming that the Republican party was largely influenced by the religious-conservatives. Rush blasted him by saying of course it had to be a moderate Republican who is "out of touch with the party base and its values". Rush went on to say that if he were in touch with the party there was no way he could be moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
