My gut feeling is that anyone who actually votes for McCain either hates black people (Obama) or hates women (Clinton). There is no rational reason why someone would vote for McCain. The man is a nothing.

There's one other reason.  The media told you to.

That's just ridiculous.  There's all kinds of reasons people might vote for McCain that don't involve racism or sexism and saying that there aren't just plays right into the hands of those who love to accuse Democrats and liberals of being divisive, playing identity politics or being too politically correct.  I don't happen to think there a lot of good reasons to vote for McCain but I can easily think of a pretty long list that a lot of Bush voters would.  Strangely enough a lot of those reasoins are the conservative misinformation that this sitetries to fight.

Moonbat, don't listen to zamfir.  Most of his posts aren't in left field, they're foul balls.

O'Reilley, is that you?  Trying to plant another comment for "evidence", I see.  

That's just dumb. Whatever you might think of McCain's policies, at least he's a real politician (unlike the current President), and surely gets lots of votes based on other than prejudiced dislike of the two Democratic candidates.

If he was a real politician he would have beat Bush back in 2000

I don't know whether I should be beating my chest with pride or shaking my head in despair that these people limit the "need for diplomacy and alliances" as strictly a liberal\Democratic platform. IT SHOULD BE AN AMERICAN PLATFORM not some partisan principle: exhaust all diplomatic options before even thinking of bombing other nations. No wonder Republicans hate such a foreign policy, us Democrats invented it. :D

A little part of me feels sorry for Grampa's advisors. Imagine running down the list of Bush failures, and trying to campaign as Bush's successor in Bush's party by studying the polls and trying to figure out which failures are positives with the base, and which are negatives.

Those speechwriters must need a few good stiff drinks before deciding to distance the guy from some Bush policies, while being forced to insist that they're still gung-ho on the war.

FINEMAN: He [John McCain] said [in his March 26 foreign policy speech]... "I'm with Bush on the war, but only the war."

That single National Policy opinion of John McCain's (as expressed by this guy fineman, without authorization I'm sure) is an absolute certain lock guarentee at finishing no better than second place in the general election this November... maybe third place, if Ralph Nader is on the ballot, and refrains from stating that he also is "with Bush on the war".

Regardless of how this thing the "media" portrays the present State of our Union, it is hands down without a doubt the single most extraordinary compelling fact about our Union, that we have many more than 100,00 U.S. Troops presently occupying the nation of Iraq.

To not recognize the preeminence of that fact, in weighing the present State of our Union, is as much as to say you are a child or a fool or an idiot in regard to understanding, or else a member of the "media", what's the difference...

Were the unemployment rate to be doubled what it is now (instead of holding remarkably steady at about 5% nationally), or even tripled, it would still not budge the preeminent place in National Policy, of U.S. Troops occupying a nation that borders Iran...

Were inflation to run away with prices at a double digit rate (instead of being found hardly at all, outside of the price of gasoline and oil), even at a rate of 20% annually, it would still pale compared to so many of our Sons and Daughters in the U.S. Armed Forces, occupying a Middle Eastern country on the border with Syria, and saudi arabia and Kuwait, and Turkey...

And the American People account this dangerous State of our Union, and the presence of so many U.S. Troops as an occupying force in Iraq, to a man whom they consider as not only the most incompetent President and Commander in Chief the U.S. has ever had, but also as the most hated man, hated by the American People, in those Offices:

George W. Bush

 

And so we have this guy fineman, as an unofficial spokesman for McCain, putting these words in his mouth:

"I'm with Bush on the war, but only the war."

Did I say such a National Policy opinion as that, is a guarentee of no better than second place in the general election this fall... no better than third place even, to Ralph Nader?

I'd say also, that in most American towns and cities today, you couldn't get elected Dog Catcher, saying:

"I'm with Bush on the war, but only the war."
