Both are socialists.

Both will lead America in the wrong direction.

McCain is what we call in Politics a Republican in Name Only or RINO for short. Four years ago he wanted to run for Vice President on the Democratic Ticket but the Democratic Nominee Kerry didn’t pick him.

Here are just a few reasons not to support McCain.

McCain/Feingold: McCain fought for and championed this severe restriction on American’s free speech rights.

McCain/Kennedy: The infamous “Amnesty” legislation which would have allowed millions of illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., as long as they paid back taxes, a fine, and promised to learn English.

McCain’s Opposition to the 2001 and 2003 Bush Tax.

McCain has lost the support of much of the Conservative base who will be not marking his name done when they vote (if they vote) this November. McCain has shown through his legislation that he is a very liberal politician who has already done much harm to the constitution and is surely to do more if elected.

Jindal is a phoney and a panderer. As such, he would be the perfect running mate for McCain because McCain is running on his “war hero” status when in fact he has sabotaged decades worth of legislation that would have helped his fellow POWs’ families find justice. McCain is now actively voting against legislation that will help this new generation of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

Anyone who votes or supports a person because of their race or gender should be ashamed. The only way to achieve a color/ gender-blind society is to be truly color/ gender-blind and judge people on their merit.

Jindal may get on a national ticket, but it’s partly because he’s an Uncle Tom in the eyes of the GOP: their token brown person. He’s also very bright, and can lie like a rug, and that should also help him in politics, but to vote for him BECAUSE he’s of Indian descent — not me.

This is either the purest form of meta-sarcasm I’ve ever seen, or else it’s the exact opposite.

Either way, it’s pure comedy gold.

Susan,

There is no controversy over teaching science (which is what evolutionary biology is and creationism IDiocy ain’t) in schools and colleges run by mainline Christian institutions. Catholic schools, and almost every non-Catholic run school or college (I leave out diploma mills) teaches plain honest to goodness science, because that is part of their selling point, providing superior education that gives students an edge in entering the most selective colleges. There’s no problem with evolution at BYU, SMU, Baylor, U.Tulsa, Notre Dame, Georgetown, or any such school. The anti-science movement targets public schools which is where majority views can be imposed, unlike private schools that are free to teach what they want. The leading lights of Creationist IDiocy such as Michael Behe (a Catholic and tenured professor at Lehigh) don’t send their kids to private or Catholic schools. They homeschool them, so that there is no chance of the scientific stuff seeping in!
