Iowa Students for Hillary Chair trashes Obama, endorses McCain, recommends McKinney as plan B

This is so awesome. The Chairman of Iowa Students for Hillary endorses John McCain in a big ole letter to his organization. Needless to say, they don't like Barack Obama. Here's how much they don't like him:
We will put up someone who has been to Iraq once for a photo-op against someone who has a son serving in Iraq and has been there countless times, with Senator Clinton in some instances.
They don't think that Obama is qualified:
Senator Obama is unqualified for the job of Commander in Chief. He has said this himself at a press conference after the 2004 election after winning his Illinois seat. He has said he would invade Pakistan if necessary to attack al-Qaeda elements, which is a bad idea seeing how Pakistan has nuclear weapons and is unstable right now. His remarks on Pakistan sparked rioting there last year.
They point out that if you can't stomach John McCain, there is always Cynthia McKinney:
We think the endorsement will make more impact if it goes to John McCain, but we see Cynthia McKinney as a viable alternative and someone more qualified than Senator Obama to be President having served for longer in Congress.
Read the whole thing. It's a riot.
Democrats supporting the Republican candidate - and why are they willing to do so? Oh Yeah, because the guys a RINO.
...just read the first comment in response to the Iowa students on their website. It's amazing how many lies the Left has to absorb in order to demonize their political opponents and justify their own ignorance.

Did he make you uncomfortable
Read the purpose of the site. I don't think you'll find "trash the Republican nominee" there anywhere.
Take a bit of advice from your Mom, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything.
McCain is our nominee. Deal with it. But the next "RINO" crack gets you the boot.

I don't want to step on the toes of any hillary supporters here who are now for McCain....
but given the INCREDIBLE similarity between Obama's political stances and those of Hillary.... moving to McCain doesn't make sense, unless one is either upset that the DNC made the decision to push a black man who got 600,000 fewer votes than the White woman, or if they themselves are too racist to vote for a black man.

you believe the first duty of a patriotic voter is to vote for the person who is at least qualified to hold the office. Just sayin'.

Clinton isn't really more qualified to be President than Obama.
Yes, she has been a Congressman for longer, but I don't quite see how being a Congressmen is a qualifier for Presidency. Governor seems MUCH more apt experience.
Frankly, politically, they are nearly identical. Obama has more racist views, but Clinton has had her share of them as well. (Her Jew comments come to mind.)
As for qualifications for being President, I don't view someone with no experience as any worse off than someone who is one of three people to be fired, from the law firm involved in Watergate, without a letter of recommendation. (The letter was not issued for Hillary because those at the law firm found her to be a rampant liar who would knowingly lie in order to advance her agenda. That seems like a disqualifier for Presidency to me. . .. of course, she was running as a Dem.)
Quit killin' the buzz!
Can't. In college they called me the "Dream Killer"
People would come up with the classic college idealistic ideas with no sense of reality and the first thing I'd always ask is "how're you going to pay for that?"

His take was the campaign was all about Judgment and Experience. That these were difficult times and both were very much needed.
*Yes he was is a major Hillary supporter

Supported him because he was an amazing orator who could convey conservatism in ways they could understand and felt comfortable with - Democrats supporting McCain today are doing so because they are uncomfortable with Obama, and McCain is someone they feel comfortable because hes a Liberal.
just glad they do...I say ANYONE BUT Obama and that would be McCain...I don't necessarily like him but I would rather have him than Obama....this is the election we all talk about over the years...the lesser of two evils campaign.

That's pretty much how I feel they've all been for me...

I'd either sit this one out or vote for a third party candidate in protest (and I'm leaning towards Mr. Barr for his support of Drill Here.Drill Now.Pay Less.) - I can't bring myself to continue to vote for the lesser of two evils, as I believe that is what has gotten us into the mess we now find ourselves.

Of a Liberal (McCain) and a Marxist (Obama) I share Glenn Becks conviction - "I just cant pull the lever for McCain"
Do it again and you'll be banned.

And again, didnt mean to ruffle feathers - and I greatly appreciate this forum of intellectual discourse, I'm guessing your a moderator here Moe, so my thanks to you.
that the time for this discussion has passed by some months now. This site supports the nominee, and though most of us did not support Sen McCain in the primary we are supporting him in Nov because the downside is just too great.
"A man does what he can and endures what he must."
Do you look past McCains liberalism? - Its something I and a great many others are struggling with - today he didn't help himself in my book when I heard two of the VP possibilities he has been meeting with are Lieberman and Bloomberg - my biggest issue is the borders, and its personal for me - my first employer slashed wages to get rid of the current employees and replaced us with illegals - and after the McCain/Kennedy amnesty fiasco of a bill, this is the biggest struggle ive had with our party in my 20+ years of campaigning and voting....so can you tell me, why is McCain and his track record of working with democrats better than a democrat and greater chances for us of a resurgence of conservatism in 2010?
1. Reply To This is your friend.
2. If you want to continue in this vein you're going to have to go to someplace else. You've been given two admonitions on this. There will not be another.
"A man does what he can and endures what he must."
You will find someone less pro-McCain then I, a Fred-Head to the very core, except perhaps EPU, but we have covered this ad infinitum. But we are now in the general election and must be unified in purpose and conviction.
If you need some centering, go back and read some of EPU's posts, they will help.

McCain could pick the Devil or Hillary and it would be fine with me.

it's Obama.
I take exception with Phx relative to who is the most anti-McCain person here. I'm pretty sure I am. I've been an AZ resident since '93 and I've never voted for him. I pretty much detest John MCain The Politician.
That said, one of two men will be President in Jan 2009. McCain or Obama. Pick one. Yeah, they're both crappy choices but one is infinitely crappier than the other. A vote for anybody other than McCain will elect Obama.

Well, you haven;t been around much.
I got here in 1990 and to this day have also never voted for McCain. But darn it, come November I will be breaking that streak. At this point it could be Lieberman v. Obama and I'd still vote for anyone other then Obama.

Because if Obama gets in, a lot of innocent Iraqis, our allies, the ones who've been trying to help us, will die when we pull out. If McCain gets in, they won't. Why is this so hard for some people to understand? I'm sorry, but there are issues of life and death on the line here, national honor and innocent blood — Iraq is one, the Supreme Court another. Whatever else we want to do can bally well wait, because we're not gonna get a redo in Iraq, after whatever disaster Obama manages to wreak there in his 4-8 years, and we're not gonna get one on the Court. And the lives lost are not gonna magically come back.
...tried to do Reply to Comment, but when the site logged me in it obviously diverted me back to the main comments thread. Sorry about that.

Question: Will they reconsider voting for BO *if* he names Cynthia McKinney as his running mate?
