| After the "gotcha" style Democratic debate on ABC this week, here are a few good questions that would be nice to ask John McCain. PERRspectives Blog: 10 Debate Questions John McCain Will Never Be Asked My favorite is the question about John Hagee. McCain was "pleased" and "very honored" to get Hagee's endorsement. Here are some John Hagee quotes: Quote:

| Why did McCain get chosen? I mean, just... why? He was the worst of the GOP candidates, exceeding even Huckabee in his ignorance. And it's a shame, because I truly do, in my heart of hearts, believe that America needs a strong conservative leader at this time. The ideal outcome would have been Kucinich vs. Ron Paul (the best from the democratic party and the GOP respectively). Anyway, who are you supporting, Dan?

| I just wish Mike Gravel were still in the running. Until all the other presidential candidates can agree to stop treating me and every other member of the GLBT community as second-class citizens, they can all kiss my ass, as far as I'm concerned. |

| I have a feeling its because he is the most easily manipulated and can continue the agenda that Bush and friends have been running the last few years. I was thinking this morning that if McCain got elected, I don't even know what I would do. But I would be terrified. |

| are next President that is why. |

| Here is a good question to ask McCain. "When you were being beaten physically and mentally for 6 years as a POW resulting from being captured while fighting for your country, did you ever picture years later liberal children in a chat room, who's life "accomplishments" include being elected treasurer of their local ACLU and winning something like "blogger of the year", debating whether you being too angry and your personal opinion about what a couple of pastors have said should decide if you would make a good president or not?"

Answer me this. What would you do if pilots were spraying Agent Orange over your country, killing all the crops, and causing effects like these, and these?

The one question I have for you Dan is were you against the US invading Bosnia in 1999 or were you ok with it because it was under the Clinton administration? Did you splash internet chat rooms with you disdain of our "involvment"? |

| John Hagee quotes exemplify the epitome of stupidity. It can only be described by combining all the synonyms of the word "moron" into a giant portmanteau. The absolute antithesis of what rationality, knowledge, and intelligence stand for. I swear, I lose brain cells every time I hear about him. God also brings the wrath of breast cancer to punish women and the sins of Eve. God brings the wrath of AIDS to starving kids in Africa, because they're obviously gay, holding pride parades, and/or tolerating homosexuals.

Why trash people who move to Canada and/or smoke pot because they are promised the right to make choices for themselves (freedom) and then forcefully put into the armed services to murder/kill others(draft)? |

| John McCain has ZERO credibility after accepting that endorsement. Not to mention his voting against the waterboarding ban. Quote:
Quote:
Despite his current popularity, McCain is coming in the wake of an unpopular president. People are stupid, but not that stupid--they know that McCain is unlikely to improve the economy. And they know that McCain means more (unpopular) war. Moreover, voters like to alternate between two consecutive terms for either party. There's a valid perception that parties in power for too long tend to become corrupt. "Absolute power absolutely corrupts." Consider the blocks of time for each party from 1960 to 2008: 8 years Democrat 8 years Republican 4 years Democrat 12 years Republican 8 years Democrat 8 years Republican ... It's definately the Democrats' turn. And even if McCain does win...don't be afraid. The point of personal development is to be able to face what you fear. The world will pull through, it always has. |

| But if you are scared and you think it might be the time to split, you may be right. I love the United States of America as a country. I don't currently love the government or the collective conscious views of the populace, however. I'm not a fan of the governments open ability to spy and persecute whomever it feels necessary as a matter of national security, either. See all that writing on the wall? Read it. |
| |||
| I'm a big fan of the United States on the local and state levels. I despise the US on the federal level (rep or dem). Their only goal is to make themselves bigger and bigger and take more power away from us as individuals. Look how much money you are giving to just the federal goverment every year. For what? More of that money should be given to you locally or even you as an individual. |

Republicans have traditionally been for smaller gov'ts with less gov't involvement up until Bushy. Ron wants to take Republicans back to the Republican basics... That's why he ran on the Rep ticket. |

| ........ And now McCain has rejected Hagee's endorsement. Quote:
