The View from Holmes



Why Not to Vote for John McCain or Barack Obama for President

John McCain thinks speculation in the commodities market should be investigated, when speculation is a function of the commodities market.

McCain thinks Guantanamo Bay should be closed and head chopping, barbarian terrorists, and unlawful combatants should have the same rights of habeas corpus that citizens have in this country to have lawyers and due process.

McCain thinks the oil companies' profits are too high.

McCain thinks executives should not make whatever their companies think they should make. I.e., the free market should not decide salaries, government should.

McCain thinks illegal aliens should receive amnesty.

McCain wants the U.S. to cripple its economy by taxing carbon emissions and force us to use mercury laden compact fluorescent light bulbs, whether we want to or not, to accommodate unproven, man made Global Warming theory.

McCain throws Republicans and Conservatives under the bus every chance he gets.

What's good about John McCain? He may appoint Justices who will follow the Constitution and not legislate from the bench; he will continue the Bush tax cuts; he will keep troops in Iraq until it is safe and strong; he won't push for Government Healthcare; he's against pork-barrel/earmark spending.

Barack Obama thinks Guantanamo Bay should be closed and head chopping, barbarian terrorists, and unlawful combatants should have the same rights of habeas corpus that citizens have in this country to have lawyers and due process.

Obama thinks illegal aliens should receive amnesty.

Obama thinks the oil companies' profits are too high.

Obama thinks taxes need to be raised.

Obama thinks that the government should provide healthcare to the citizens (and noncitizens) of this country, the same government that cannot manage disaster relief (Katrina), that cannot manage Medicare or Social Security without losing money hand over fist. This will increase the tax burden on everyone and lead to decreased quality of healthcare.

Obama thinks we need to leave Iraq before it is safe for its people and strong enough to defend itself against al Qaida and Iran.


Obama wants the U.S. to cripple its economy by taxing carbon emissions and force us to use mercury laden compact fluorescent light bulbs, whether we want them or not, to accommodate unproven, man made Global Warming theory.


Obama doesn't see anything wrong with being in a church with a racist, anti-American pastor for 20 years.


Obama doesn't see anything wrong with his long acquaintance to a leftist terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and other U.S. property.

Obama wants to talk diplomatically, without conditions, with this country's enemies.


What's good about Barack Obama? He doesn't throw Democrats under the bus (except for Hillary).

Okay you said that you would post reasonable comments on your page.


Well then let me begin by saying that if you do not vote in this country than you have no right to complain about anything that is going on in this country. Everyone has a fair chance to vote (unless you have committed a felony) and you should take the 10 minutes out of your day to vote so that way you can say that you took a stance on what you felt was right for this country.


On to the presidential candidates. I am a republican and I always have been. No, it is not because I was raised in a republican house, or because I would disappoint my family if I were to tell them that I am a democrat.


It is because I have taken the time out to read up on each party and what they stand for.


Barack Obama is a communist. He is trying to turn our country into a place where the government decided's what we can and can not do. I am all for laws to keep people safe but I am not going to stand for someone to come into our country and try and change the way we have done things since the constitution of the united states was written.


The Second Amendment states that we have the right to bear arms. Which means that we have the right to keep weapons in our homes, under the proper care. The guns have to be registered and everything that goes along with buying a weapon.


Did you know that Obama wants to take all weapons out of everyone's home? Probably not, because most of the people that vote, do not know anything about whom they are voting for. I am a gun owner and I have also seen what guns can do to people.


My best friend was murdered by a guy that shot him with a shotgun at the age of 14. It took me a long time to realize that it was not the gun that killed him but it was the man holding the gun that killed him.


Let's talk about the military and what the democrats have done for them. They haven't done JACK for them. They have forced people into retirement, they have cut the military in half, they took away the raises every year. Our military does everything and anything they are allowed to do to keep thins county safe. Obama wants to come in and take all of our troops out of Iraq and Afghanis. Do you have any idea what that is going to do? It is just going to cause more problems because those countries are not ready to stand on their own yet. Eventually they will be and when that time comes, it will then be the time for our troops to come home.


If you don't want to stand behind our troops, stand in front of them.
