falisha asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

10 points for best answer. Can anyone tell me 5 reasons why I should vote for McCain without bring up Obama?

5 reasons of fact to vote for McCain without saying anything about any other candidate? 10 points.

Update:

O Carter and King duck, sorry but I sad it had to be reasons of fact.

He's not about lowering government spending because he wants a war thats costing the US economy hundreds of billions of dollars to go on and on. Thats YOUR tax dollars.

PS. I also said you couldnt say anything about the other candidates, just reasons why "I" should vote YOUR candidate McCain.

Update 2:

Scott ...experience on what. You mentioned experience twice, you're right on military service. But number 1 is void but you didnt say what he had experience on. He definitely doesnt have experience on the economy, he said that out of his own mouth.

Update 3:

dsm ...that looks the closest. I didnt say I had to agree with them or if that had to make sense or if they were good reasons. I just said they had to be reasons of fact on why you're voting for him.

    1)The Economy: A pro-growth, pro-jobs strategy to get our economy back on track. John McCain's strategy includes taking the near-term actions needed to provide immediate help to American families while also taking the longer-term steps necessary to secure America's economic prosperity and leadership in the world.

    2) Health Care: John McCain is willing to address the fundamental problem: the rapidly rising cost of U.S. health care. Bringing costs under control is the only way to stop the erosion of affordable health insurance, save Medicare and Medicaid, protect private health benefits for retirees, and allow our companies to effectively compete around the world.

    3) National Security: The most sacred responsibility vested in a president - the commander in chief - is to "preserve and protect" American citizens. John McCain has the necessary vision and unrivaled experience to command the United States armed forces and adapt our nation's defenses to the demands of a changing and dangerous world.

    4) Education: Excellence, choice, and competition in American education. John McCain believes American education must be worthy of the promise we make to our children and ourselves. He understands that we are a nation committed to equal opportunity, and there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education.

    5) Iraq: John McCain believes it is strategically and morally essential for the United States to support the Government of Iraq to become capable of governing itself and safeguarding its people. The best way to secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq. When Iraqi forces can safeguard their own country, American troops can return home.

    You only want 5??

    Sure, there was the Keating 5.

    The 5 aircraft he crashed.

    The 5 lobbyists that have recently left his still-born campaign.

    His 5 mistresses (married one of them)

    The 5 years he spent as a POW when his release had been offered because he was running away from the pre-planned life his family had laid out for him (unstable much!).

    These are all McCain history that you should consider when voting.

    Nope, for most Americans the only real reason to vote for a Republican or Democrat for office is to avoid having the other one win. Very few actually agree with the party line, but they agree with it slightly more than the other one.......and after all, why 'waste a vote on someone that cannot win'? as people are always claiming.

    I can't find 5 reason to vote for any of the 3 candidates. Besides the war on Iraq (1 is for , 1 is against and 1 is for and against), they are all the same person! They all have pretty much the same views

    Nope. It is easier to find 5 reasons why you shouldn't. LOL @ all the people who said he will lower taxes or make tax cuts permanent. Republicans don't realize that they are in love with the "tax" they like to avoid talking about called a National deficit. It is a giant country credit card that we will all be responsible for paying later, and at this rate, so will our grand-children. That far outweighs any "benefits" the tax cuts to the rich or corporations that don't need it, like big oil will do for us. Just wonderful for our economy. And staying the course in Iraq will just pile on the debt even higher. Amazing how these simple facts escape the McCain supporters so easily.
