John McCain is not a “conservative”. He does not believe in many of the values that conservatives hold dear to their hearts. His supporters will tell you how good on National Security John McCain is.

However, he wants to give Constitutional rights to Gitmo detainees. That itself tells you all you need to know. These “detainees” at Gitmo are terrorists and enemy combatants. These are not your “regular” everyday criminal. They did not rob a mom and pop store in Wisconsin.

These “detainees” would kill you, me, mom and pop and any other American they could get their hands on. These people are animals. I don’t understand how people can see it any other way. All of these pathetic lawyers defending these animals would have their throats slit in a heartbeat by any of them!

The lawyers and the crazies on the left have no idea how horrible this world can be. They just want to think there is good in everyone. Well, I’m sorry to say that just isn’t true. There are bad people out there that want to do bad things to Americans. The loons on the left would rather have the detainees over for dinner and talk about their feelings and why they hate America so much. Right. That would work out real well. Actually, I would like to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.

Bryan over at HotAir puts it perfectly:

This is what we get when we have leaders who abdicate leadership and don’t protect their subordinates for the consequences of the choices that the leaders make. This, essentially, is the result of Sen. John McCain’s announced policy of keeping interrogation techniques like waterboarding illegal, but knowing full well that it will be used in extreme circumstances, and that when it is used the agents who used it will find themselves in legal jeopardy no matter what the outcome of the interrogation was. It’s the politics of passing the buck.

This is where politicizing a war gets us: We’re prosecuting front line troops for using time-tested techniques for killing enemy combatants, and we’re all but granting Miranda rights to terrorists who live for nothing but killing us. Here’s what I wrote about the issue in November 2005. That’s when McCain initially set out to ban torture, as defined down to include waterboarding and lesser techniques like sleep deprivation that are used against our own troops in basic training every single day of the year.

John McCain wants to give these animals rights. Sorry John, they don’t deserve the treatment that are recieving from the U.S government as it is, which by the way is better than they have ever been treated in their lives. But, then again, who am I?

    McCain will be a blessing to the Democrats. Once McCain is nominated and everyone is reminded of McCain’s membership in the Keating 5 and how he cost millions of senior citizens their entire life savings in the Savings & Loan debacle–not to mention the $125 billion bailout he cost the U.S. taxpayer–any Democrat nominee will be a shoe-in.

    Amy, we’re with you.

    I have personally written in these pages that I could not support John McCain - still hoping that Romney would somehow surge. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

    Recently I’ve read terrific articles from various conservative authors, who feel as we do….but questions are raised. Good questions.

    1. will a democrat pull the plug in Iraq. Obama said he will.
    2. Most of the Supreme Court justices are in their late 70’s - do we want a democrat appointing a left leaning Court that will be in place for decades?
    3. Jihadism is not taken seriously by the left….much to our detriment. Do we want a liberal controlling our national Security?
    4. Entitlement programs will GROW exponentially under a democrat President.

    And this my friend is just scratching the surface.

    Thank you very much for your thoughts.

Got something to say?
