“Ah-nold” Terminates McCain?
The California “Guvernator” has thrown his muscular support behind John McCain. Unlike Governor Crist of Florida, “Ah-nold” has star power. He can bring a lot to McCain’s campaign. Sounds good, but…
Does this Republican (with very Democratic leanings) totally sink McCain as the Republican (with Democratic leanings) contender for the White House?
The thing McCain needs now, according to all of the pundits, is support among conservative Republicans. How do they support positions like these?
· The McCain-Kennedy Immigration Reform Bill – an amnesty program with a $1,500 price tag per sucker – er, criminal alien – uh, honest, upright, hard-working (does the jobs us lazy slobs won’t do) immigrants. (The McCain-Kennedy Immigration Reform Bill Falls Short)
· The McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill – it wasn’t bad enough, so they made it worse, turning it into a true assault on the First Amendment, according to the James Madison Center for Free Speech. In a press release, they stated, “Besides its attacks on free-speech rights, the bill would severely impede the right of free association, which also enjoys broad protection under the First Amendment.” (James Madison Center.org Press Release 022201)
· The McCain-Lieberman Stewardship Act – a failed attempt to drag down our economy for the sake of the “global warming hoax.” Analysis showed that this would be a very costly bill, not only in terms of dollars but also jobs lost. (New Study Shows Hefty Price Tag for McCain-Lieberman Bill)
Don’t think that “Ah-nold” is a RINO (Republican in Name Only)? Check out this latest Democratic-sounding, liberal-leaning, attempted legislation since ousting Gray Davis from the Governor’s Office in the Golden State:
The latest: A failed (thank goodness) $15 billion socialized medicine bill (it took a liberal Democrat, Sen. Sheila Kuehl, to say, “It doesn’t matter how many good things are in the bill if there isn’t money to pay for them.” (California Senate Kills Schwarzenegger Health Care Plan - Biggest legislative defeat for California Governor) Of course, this hasn’t stopped the “Guvernator” from trying. (Can’t have people being self-responsible and paying for their own healthcare. They’d get the idea that they didn’t need big government for other things, too.)
Yeah, the conservatives are going to go for McCain even MORE now that “Guvernator” has expressed his approval and admiration – NOT!
