Would John McCain really do any better on national defence than the Democrats?

Given his support for open borders and after having read the following article, I have to wonder.

Quote:

Three Afghans arrested in Indian airport with fake Mexican passports

Three Afghan nationals were arrested at the Nedumbaserry International Airport, near here, today for travelling on fake Mexican passports, Immigration officials said.

The three were earlier in the day deported from Kuwait after authorities there doubted their claim to be Mexican nationals.
Immigration and other security officials interrogated the three for several hours and finally arrested them on charges of travelling on forged passports.

According to Immgiration officials, they were Afghan nationals trying to go to France. However, their real names have not been disclosed so far.
The Mexican passports which they were carrying identified them as Antonio Lopez Juan (42), Javier Sanchez Alberto (20) and Atonio Lopez Ernesto (16). They had left from Nedumbaserry Airport on February 11 for Kuwait en route to France.

However, the emigration officials at Kuwait had found them to be suspects as they reportedly could not understand any Spanish. They also suspected the passports to be forged. The three were then deported to Nedumbaserry today....

Having a tough time getting into the US from the Middle East? No problem. Just go through Mexico first!

People who cite McCain's record on national defense should realize that there is more to keeping this land secure than supporting the military.

I feel as though we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off, and McCain is laughing all the way to the bank.

jMcCain is questionable on immigration that is a given Liberty. But McCain doesn't support abortion, same sex marriage, he doesn't have a Muslim background (Hussein Obama) it that sounds profilish I'll not apologise at all. I don't trust the man, he sais he's church of Christ and wants to swear in over the Koran.

You cannot get worse than the Dems on National Security, they are idiots, pollyannish, denial ridden, abortion backing, same sex marrying, military bailing, fund withholding, judge blocking, hollywood courting, chavez loving, Anti American, traiterous pigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll die before I ever, ever cast a vote for the Dems, they've showed their true color (yellow) for the last 16 years.

For true conservatives to court the thought that casting a vote for any Dem at this point in history is a sound move than they are admitting defeat, they are laying down. Not this man, not today, tommorrow, never.

Liberty I don't mean to sound offensive Sir, you are without a doubt one of the best posters this site has to offer, you're insight and political acuman is second to none. I am loud in my opinion because of the rhetoric thats been coming from the left since at least Jan. 02.
Some before hand, like when Bill Clinton was in office said he would veto any bill that goes against 3rd term abortion. That party is evil to the core. I'll never cross over a vote, not even for a County Sheriff.

Independant maybe, but never, ever Democrat. Not the way she stands now.

There's other avenues besides the McCain/Obama duality. I think that, for example, you could be proud of a vote for the Constitution Party candidate or (possibly) the Libertarian Party candidate when the alternative is a RINO or a socialist.

Other options have been crossing my opinianated mind.

Liberty isn't without his points. Of the Republican field, when this first started they've whittled it down to the worst possible choice.

Like I said on another thread I feel like we are all on a forced march without shoes and socks.

You can always cross over and vote for the iron fisted, hard-line Obama.

Taxman · #7 02-14-2008, 08:40 PM

So I get a choice of another "bi-partisan", anti-tax cut, Big Brother besides John McCain? Sweet! Who says we don't have a real choice in this election?

No I can't.

The allegance you've expressed on this board towards John McCain is well known. I'll not hack on you for that, its you're right as an American to cast you're vote for anyone you want. Just as Tax has the right to wait and see, or cast a vote for an individual that will have no bearing as to the outcome of the election. I may well do the same. I haven't made up my mind yet, for me this is nothing to rush into. I expressed my views at the Primaries and will do so again at the Gen. Election.

I will go on record, as you have, and say this. A vote for any "iron fisted" dumbocrat is a vote for Al-qaeda, to not recognise thats what they pray for is to deny the obvious. It stands to reason they don't want another 4 to 8 years of a Republican in the White House, any republican. Al-qaeda wants an executive leader cut from the same cloth as Jimmy Carter, or Bill Clinton, for example, they were able to rehearse thier plan at a Florida flight school right under our noses because of laxed security on the national level.

People on this board have several concerns about McCain. I can't speak for them but I can spitball, one concern has to be that with McCains lack of conservatism on issues like Immigration makes him a threat to National Security. Does that mean he wouldn't prosecute the WOT in a military manner, observing everything. No it doesn't. Does it mean Al-qaeda operatives can mix with Mexican drug cartels and infiltrate our borders. YES IT DOES. Lets hope they haven't already. So before you direct or suggest for, anyone else to cast a vote for the iron fisted, hard lined Barrack Obama, maybe, just maybe you should look at the man you so boldly tout.

Also I'd venture to say that Obama doesn't carry an iron fist. Since he does defend the rights of those with a limp one to marry each other.

PB's right. I don't want to vote for McCain, but if it helps keep Osama, I mean Obama out, I'll do it without regret.

Of course McCain would be strong on national defense. Don't forget that he was the lone voice in favor of the surge a year ago and to the detrement of his campaign, when even Republicans were ducking their heads. He is the only one who has been consistent all along about doing this thing right.

Aside from this he is the only one of any of the candidates who truly understands and has experience in foreign affairs, war and security. He would in the words of his hero "Speak softly but with a big stick". Not like his two democratic rivals who are more reminiscent of Carter on these issues.
