Exactly What Is John McCain for?

Looking at Senator McCain's voting record you'll see he voted against everything that would benefit women, minorities, and veterans. 

Even recognition in the form of a holiday to reward the great achievements of Civil Rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was revoked by John McCain (seen-r). 

Below you'll find a few other things that the presumptive Republican nominee opposes.

1. Roe v. Wade: Planned Parenthood even gave McCain a zero lifetime voting record on women's issues.


2. Making Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday: McCain voted against this bill.


3. Health care plans that benefit regular Americans: McCain voted against it. 

4. The G.I. Bill: Full scholarships to college for veterans; McCain being a veteran himself you'd think this would've deeply concerned him, but nope, he voted against this too.


5. Trying to work on a better relationship with Cuba: McCain denounces the fact that Senator Obama, wishes to have a peaceful conversation with Cuba's President, Hugo Chavez.


6. Against Minimum wage increase for working families: McCain is totally against this but he totally supports 60 billion in tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans!


7. McCain voted against protection for workers overtime rights and pay, and against family medical leave from work: So you or anyone in your family better not get sick, or you just might lose your job. I guess nothing is more important than taking your ass to work!


8. McCain voted against funding for programs to help retrain workers.


9. McCain voted against extending federal unemployment insurance benefits for jobless workers who lost their jobs.


10. McCain voted against the 2004 and 2005 highway bills, which could've created 5 million new jobs over the course of 6 years, with new highway construction projects.


11. McCain voted against giving 1.6 billion dollars to school construction, that would help states' local school districts with repair for the most dilapidated public school buildings.


However, John McCain is for:

1. Fear mongering

2. He wants taxpayers to pay 300 million dollars to whomever develops the new electronic battery as a way of solving a gas problem; to bad the Japanese are already 5 years ahead of us in that department.

3. McCain also proposed giving 3.8 billion more in tax breaks to big oil and voted to protect their profits. Exxon Mobil made 40 billion in profits in 2007, it doesn't sound like they need anymore tax breaks. Other big oil companies include: BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Conocco Phillips, and Chevron Texaco.

4. He's for illegal wiretapping of American's phones and e-mail.

5. Would like the war in Iraq to continue.

6. McCain is for the outsourcing of American jobs. As Bush stated in 2004, "When a good or service is produced more cheaply abroad, it makes more sense to import it then to make or provide it domestically."

But the more government outsources American jobs, the more people will be left poor and/or homeless; which is presently happening. 

The Bush administration making deals internationally regarding American jobs, sounds more or less like an ill-advised plan to keep American workers oppressed. No job, no money, no home; nothing. Start a business? No job, no money, no home; nothing. The slaves will harken unto their masters as the only means of survival; brutal force will be used to bring about obedience and servitude among the laborers. 

Literally, America went from making things to succumbing to low wage positions that include call center jobs, for the purposes of pushing and peddling internationally made products paid for by the elite. We're just the little workers in the world of crony capitalism hoping to get a break, only to be repeatedly denied promotions as a means of "breaking" the spirit enough so that it may learn to "stay" in its place. It feels like modern day slavery.
