Why Do People Support John McCain?
McCain supporters share their views
Ever wonder why someone would possibly vote for McCain, and why Republican rallies are turning into such heated events?
First, here’s John McCain himself speaking on the issue:
From the National Post:
“[John McCain] in an interview on CNN, insisted that ‘the overwhelming majority of the people that come to my rallies are good and decent and patriotic Americans’ who are worried about the country’s future.
And to somehow intimate that the overwhelming majority of those people, with rare exception, are somehow not good Americans or are motivated by anything but the most patriotic motives is insulting. And I won’t accept that insult,’ Mr. McCain added.”
Fair enough. Let’s allow the supporters of the Republican McCain-Palin ticket speak for themselves:

Hm… In all this talk of Obama’s connection with Bill Ayers, I wonder if Republican supporters are aware that McCain sat on a board that the Anti-Defamation League called ”a gathering place for racists and anti-semites, with links to Nazi collaberators and right-wing death squads.”
Guilt by association indeed:

So how do rational Republicans think? Take a look:

Stumble it!
It’s truly terrifying to see how the ultra-conservatives are reacting to the possibility that America might have it’s first black president. Let’s face it, with those people, the real issue is race, nothing more and nothing less.
As somebody who grew up in South Florida with an mix of different races and nationalities, of course most of us picked and prodded at the other groups but there was never an uneducated hatred and bias that is seen in the McCain and Plain supporters.
I hope the Secret Service is keeping tabs on most of these radicals because they are the true terrorists living inside out country (lest er forget Timothy McVeigh).
I grew up in the city, and I never realized how anti-change people until this election. It’s so stupid, obviously Obama is not a terrorist and is not a muslim. Also, why does it matter if he was in muslim? Are Americans so far removed from the rest of the world, that we believe that only white Christians can be in power?!?!
I know that most of the people voting for john mccain are racsist. It’s funny how that white lady said “if Obama wins, I feel that black people will start to take over” like what the fuck bitch, blacks can’t stay down forever. We ARE people, and we are rising above and beyond EVERYDAY. The doctors, lawyers, Nurses, Cops, & PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES we will become are aspiring.
Obama is also not a muslim. His father was, but he didn’t convert into muslim.
& since people are loosing their jobs by the millions, I wonder how many of those white people are going to say “get a job” to the people supporting Obama. I thought it was so funny because when they loose their job, guess who’s going to be laughing?
In light of McCain’s new strategy of targeting Bush, I think that Senator Obama should throw McCain’s line back at him: “Senator McCain, I’m not George Bush. If you wanted to run against George Bush, you should have run 4 years ago.”
I saw someone the other day on the news who had a shirt on that read (and i’m paraphrasing here) “It’s the WHITE house” . Maybe I’m and just being ignorant or naive but I didn’t think that still happened in our country but as election day draws nearer I’m discovering that more and more people are rascist and bigots than I thought. It’s very discouraging.
Elections seem to bring out the highest and lowest denominator in people. Fascinating how the lowest tend to be Republicans.
