We
have published many articles and reports about Senator McCain, Senator
Clinton and Senator Obama. We have not come out and actually said why
we support Senator McCain over Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack
Obama.
Well here is a partial list of reasons. We hope you will comment on our take on issues and present your own ideas.
1.
Senator McCain will make the Bush tax cuts permanent and cut the size
and growth of government at the Federal level. Senators Clinton and
Obama have both said they will let the Bush tax cuts expire. Senators
Clinton and Obama have proposed at least $600 billion in new or
expanded government programs when they take office.
2. Senator
McCain has never requested an ear mark and said he will veto any bill
with an ear mark in it. Senators Clinton and Obama have used ear marks
extensively, with Senator Obama obtaining an earmark in 2007 for the
hospital that his wife works at, right after the hospital gave her a
raise from $190K to $300K.
3. Senator McCain will appoint strict
constructionist judges to the Supreme Court. Senators Clinton and Obama
will appoint judges that make public policy from the bench, something
that goes completely against our constitution and the role of the
judiciary.
4. Senator McCain understands the global war against
radical Islam and the imperative to win in Iraq and Afghanistan. The
consequences of losing and pulling out are catastrophic. He wants to
end the fighting quickly but continue to have a presence in Iraq for
the long term to stabilize the region. Senators Clinton and Obama
simply want to pull out, regardless of the consequences or implications.
5.
Senator McCain will be a very formidable negotiator and free trader.
Senators Clinton and Obama want to scrap NAFTA and are anti-free trade.
Senator Obama has said he will meet with dictators and rogue leaders
with out preconditions.
6. Senator McCain wants to fix the
economy by allowing it to right itself. He is for cutting regulation,
lowering taxes on businesses, funding research and entrepreneurship.
Senators Clinton and Obama want more regulation, higher corporate
taxes, they want to tax profits and are for more government control.
7. Senator McCain wants to provide all Americans
access to heath care via affordable, transferable, and cheap health
care insurance. He wants to give individuals a $5,000 tax credit like
we do to corporations to allow them to buy their heath coverage. He is
for a market based system and getting government and insurance
companies out of the way of the medical decision making process.
Senators Clinton and Obama want socialized medicine, which has been
proven not to work.
8. Senator McCain is pro-gun and pro-life.
Senators Clinton and Obama are anti-second Amendment and both support
late term abortions with Senator Obama supporting the killing of babies
who survive an abortion even if they are out of the womb.
We strongly disagree with Senator McCain, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama on two issues.
1.
Human caused global warming. Scientific research has now proven that
CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are not the cause of
global warming. The Global Warming science has been debunked. Global
warming is no longer a scientific theory it is a political movement
much like we saw with DDT. The science behind the DDT scare was
debunked however the political movement went on and it killed tens of
millions of innocent men, women and especially children mostly in
Africa. We are seeing the same thing with the global warming political
movement and ethanol. People are starving so we can feel good about
filling up our SUVs.
2. Torture. Senators McCain, Clinton and
Obama want waterboarding taken off the table as a method of
interrogation. We believe strongly that waterboarding must remain on
the table as the "nuclear option". The President must have the authority
in specific cases to personally authorize our CIA to waterboard an
individual or individuals for high value, time sensitive intelligence.
For example, should we capture Osama Bin Laden the President must have
the authority to waterboard him, if deemed necessary.
That it our say. What say you?
