Let's come up with 101 reasons not to vote for McCain
I'll start us off:

1. He hates Asians ("I hate the gooks, and I will for as long as I live")
2. He's one of those politicians who wants to censor videogames, hence his friendship with Lieberman
3. He inspires rabid hatred in his fans
4. He's best buds with Bush, so his policies will be similar no matter what he says
5. He's "joked" about bombing Iran and N. Korea
6-101 (well actually just 6). Sarah Palin

9. He voted numerous times against the Martin Luther King Holiday in Arizona

19. not sure
That very well could be, I don't think they have all been forced to relocate yet. It was part of the solution to the Navajo-Hope land dispute, callously exploited by people like McCain. Ironically, Lehman Brothers ended up being involved too. S.1003 is the amendment, I can't remember the exact name of it off the top of my head.

39. Thanks. Google: John McCain/Navajo Lands
Lots of great info there, especially the Care2 site. He should be charged with genocide.

12. There is actually only one reason not to vote for McCain
Barack Obama -- with him in the race, it's a no-brainer. If you need another reason, then Joe Biden.

An all-around class act -- smart, compassionate, down-to-earth, men of the people, experienced, did I say smart?

The other side offers a batshit crazy old man and a smarmy-mouthed wacko bitch.

38. If you're a senator, you need two of them
One in your home state, one in DC. No one expects senators to live in refrigerator boxes--we pay them enough to make house payments in DC.

I'd even let them slide by with a third--a vacation home on the beach or something. Quite a few people who are not rich but merely comfortable have those.

What senators do NOT need is seven homes, which McCain has.

41. Let me try this. This should be fun.
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 09:12 PM by jmowreader
1. McCain and Charles Keating are bestest buddies.

2. Sarah Palin's abuses of power in Troopergate.

3. Insurgents killed 24 Shorja Market vendors after McCain's visit there.

4. Being able to "see Russia from my house" doesn't exactly qualify as a foreign policy credential, especially since Russia's 57 miles from the Alaskan mainland, there's no reason for an oil-rich country like Russia to invade a state whose natural resources include oil and moose, and Wasilla's on the back side of a ridge.

5. If they were trying to gain admittance to college right now with the SAT scores they had back then, neither one would have been accepted to the college they graduated from.

6. McCain has an inch-thick medical file with five cases of potentially-lethal cancer in it.

7. Palin is far too closely associated with Todd Bentley, the heaviest of the Joel's Army heavies.

8. McCain traded in his wife when she became more trouble than McCain thought she was worth. (Wheelchairs will do that to a guy.)

9. Palin managed to put a town with 6000 residents $22 million in the red.

10. McCain's temperament makes him dangerously unstable.

11. Palin's political resume is so thin, they're listing the clubs she was in while in high school.

12. McCain votes the way Bush wants him to nine-tenths of the time.

13. Palin's vaunted mayorship of Wasilla nearly ended in disgrace after she fired the police chief and was almost recalled for it.

14. McCain is probably a supply-sider.

15. Palin charged the State of Alaska per diem on nights she slept away from the governor's mansion. She spent most of those nights in her own home.

16. McCain's healthcare plan will make employer-furnished healthcare benefits taxable income.

17. Palin's views on abortion are even more extreme than those of deposed Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu.

18. McCain violated the military's Code of Conduct by providing military information to his Vietnamese captors in exchange for preferential medical treatment.

19. Palin supports aerial wolf hunting.

20. They don't call 'em "McBush" and "Bush in a Skirt" for nothing.

Forgot one: On Edit...

21. During Palin's tenure as mayor of Wasilla, it became known as the Meth Capital of Alaska.
