You know when I lost my respect for McCain?

  1. When he flopped on his torture views.

    What are we real conservatives supposed to do now? McCain isn't what i wanted at all :(
     
  2. p.s nobody cares



    Unnecessary post. Also, disrespectful. Consider this a warning.

    ***I had originally deleted this post but I just read another post of yours that I had to issue a warning in this morning. Very uncool. You've been here long enough to have read the rules. *RMJL
     
  3. vote for obama!!!
     
  4. Wow what the hell is your problem? First in the Zietgeist thread and now here? What is your deal?
     
  5. Speak for yourself, because I'm sure some members here do care. If you don't, then stay out of the topic.

    In response to the original post... what is your stance on torture? The way I see it, McCain has taken the liberal position because he's been in a similar situation as a former POW. But then when he knew he was running for president again and would have to appeal to the neo-conservative base, he made some slight revisions.
     

  6. I do not believe in torture at all and I had a great deal of respect for McCain's positions. If he had been against it from the beginning then I wouldn't care much but after he has made it such a big issue and after he has made Vietnam such a pivotal experience in campaign and life, I don't think I can forgive such a huge change in position.
     
  7. I cant lose something that I never had for the guy. Im against torture as well so this doesnt do much for him
     
  8. Motherfucker was a damn Prisoner of War, was tortured and I'm fairly sure he's man enough to at least be truthful and honest about that. I'm sure he's felt it and knows what it's all about, and I'm sure he isn't cruel enough to put others through what he has gone through.
     
  9. I've said this before man..almost every time you post it's something negative. You need to chill out bro.
     
  10. SOrry for all who i have offended. I am sometimes a dick but will keep my opinions to my self
     
  11. Well, think again.

    The recent "sex scandal" was a media coverup for the fact that he voted down the anti-torture bill that he introduced.:mad:

    This sucks. I was actually settling in to the idea of having McCain as a president. Obviously far from my first choice, but the fact that he has a remarkably independent voting record and isn't afraid to stand up to Christians was somewhat promising. So much more that.
