Why You Need to Meet the REAL John McCain

(A message from Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, Sr. Policy Advisor, U.S.
Dept. of Education during the Reagan Administration)
As a delegate to our state convention this coming weekend we have a
solemn obligation to know the truth about the man who has been
anointed the =93presumptive nominee=94 of our party. Our job is not to be
a rubber stamp for anyone else=92s agenda, no matter how =93nobly=94 the
cause is presented. The Republican establishment in Maine is counting
on us not having the documented information on this sheet. It is
counting on our willingness to be told what to think in the same way
that the mainstream media has been telling us what to think throughout
this entire election cycle. We are expected to suspend any other
concerns we may have in the name of =93party unity.=94
The truth is that a patriot who loves his country makes it an ultimate
priority to be well-educated about the decisions he or she must make.
Unless we have come to understand how dominated by the leftist
military-industrial complex America=92s major media has become, and done
some research, we are not prepared to do our duty at the convention.
This letter, supported by many delegates to the Republican Convention,
is literally about saving the party and the nation from a maniacal
neoconservative war monger, who supports a United States presence in
Iraq for 100 years, and who is not really even a Republican!
=93War hero=94 image is a media creation not supported by the facts
McCain graduated 894th of the 899 cadets in his class at the Naval
Academy. Google it. Why would we want someone who was a failure and
took his responsibilities so flippantly as our commander-in-chief?
* McCain was an irresponsible pilot who crashed 6 planes, and
started a major fire on an aircraft carrier through negligent action.
Why would we want someone this reckless in the most-important office
on the planet?
* McCain collaborated with the enemy, was given =93soft=94 treatment
because his father was an admiral, and is known as =93Songbird McCain=94
by those who were imprisoned with him. (http://
vietnamveteransagainstmccain.com) He is the MIA/POW family=92s worst
enemy for his constant attempts to belittle their concerns and stifle
their inquiries while serving in the Senate.
McCain ditched his ill wife to marry an heiress when he returned from
Vietnam.
Is this the type of morality we Republicans condone? Is this type of
heinous lack of loyalty we want in a President? He also has a track
record of shocking verbal abuse, including screaming profanities
against his Senate Republican colleagues. Senator Thad Cochran, MS,
says =93The thought of his being President sends a cold chill down my
spine.=94 Other Senators relate times when McCain screamed four-letter
obscenities right in their faces in the Senate cloak room, like Dick
Shelby, Rick Santorum or Jim Imhofe. =93The man is unhinged,=94 one
senator said. =93He is frighteningly unfit to be commander-in-chief.=94
The truth is, John McCain is not even a Republican. He is a phony
stalking horse who is a liberal in disguise. He not only can=92t win
this fall because he is so out of step with the majority of Americans
and with the principled stands of Republicanism, but if we support
this person for our nominee, he will likely destroy our party.
Consider:
* He was intimately involved in the =93Keating 5=94 Savings & Loan
scandal.
* He has been endorsed by the liberal/leftist New York Times.
* He is a big advocate of the extreme =93green=94 global warming
scare, and the economically horrific =93solutions=94 being proposed by
people like Al Gore.
* He has promoted illegal amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.
* His McCain-Feingold Bill has destroyed much of the rights of
people to take part in the political process the way they see fit.
This bill remains un-Constitutional and a major affront to the First
Amendment protections on the right of free speech.
* He is a big-time gun grabber who is an extreme advocate of
restrictions on 2nd Amendment rights.
* He opposes repeal of Roe v. Wade, and opposes a Constitutional
amendment to protect all life.
* He is no fiscal conservative, and he supports raising taxes on
Social Security benefits.
* He continues his aggressive support for the Iraq War, which
costs the U.S. taxpayer $12 billion a month, even though only 34% of
Americans support the war. (According to Paul Craig Roberts, Asst.
Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, and vocal
opponent of the Iraq War: 4,538 Americans have died in the war,
29,780 have been wounded, 300,000 soldiers are suffering from major
depression, and 320,000 received brain injuries, all as a result of
this unconstitutional and immoral war.)...
We will hear much about =93unity=94 at the Maine State Convention.
However, it is very important that we understand that to unify behind
this man is tantamount to nominating a Democrat. We can vote our
consciences or abstain from voting.
John McCain did poorly in our Maine caucuses. By most estimates he
got fewer than 20% of the delegates to the State Convention coming out
of our caucuses and was soundly trounced by both Romney and Texas
Congressman Ron Paul. McCain did not win a single county in the straw
poll, with 15 counties going to Romney and one (Aroostook) going to
Dr. Paul. McCain has little support nationally=85there are never huge
rallies for McCain, unless people are paid to show up. In short, he
is a media creation and the darling of the Trotskyite neoconservative
warmongers who have hijacked our party. He does not support our own
platform!
Former Romney supporters who receive this info sheet DO NOT have to
follow the =93uncalled for=94 advice of the Massachusetts governor that
you go over the cliff with support for this unstable man.
DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF OR YOUR VOTE TO BE PROSTITUTED IN THE NAME OF
PARTY UNITY. PUT YOUR COUNTRY FIRST!
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for being
such an important part of our representative form of government -- the
envy of the world!
Paid for by independent-minded Republicans and delegates to the Maine
State Convention
