Who the Hell’s Actually Going to Vote for John McCain in November?
October 10th, 2008 by Evil BeetThe same people who propelled Kirk Cameron’s new Christian-fanboy flick, Fireproof, to #4 at the box office, despite the fact that it only opened on 839 screens.
You may now commence shit-talking in the comments. But you know I’m right.
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
I SURE AS HELL AM!
Obama is dumb.
he’s inexperienced and he does not know how to run our country. though his people did do a good job bombing it. thanks alot by the way! Let america know that we can thank obama for the world trade center!! McCain actually has experience and he wont completely demolish the white race. So there ya go.
P.S. i cant wait till almost the end of the election whenever Obama’s dirty little secrets escape ;]
That’s a pretty decent amount of people.
Yikes! Let’s not “spin” the ranking just yet. It’s like saying that movie was up there with Ironman or something – only 839 screens? Was that just in LA or something?? Seriously Beet! :-) Even tho I am Repub, I am kinda sore about McCain – we could have done better but hey, it is what it is. And… I will NOT go see that crazy religious flick EVER. That Kirk kid is a nutso cultist. I am also for pro-choice, gay marriage, oh and I do carry a gun… ;-) Not all Republicans are as crazy to the right as the Libs are to the left… just some of them… ;-)
kirk was cute in the 80’s. he is handsome now, but a bit weird. i am sure he means well. who is obama and mccain?
Oh! One more thing… haven’t you ever seen a small preview to a movie and thought, hmm, that might be good – I’ll take a chance and go see it? Not realizing what the REAL premise of the flick is? So, I would betcha ;-) that is the reason for the high numbers. However, I will concede to the Almighty Beet’s assessment if the movie stays ranked that high for the next few weekends in a row and opens in more theaters (other than in the Evangelical/Bible thumping south which traditionally votes Democrat…..) :-)
@jemms…. you’re not from around here, huh?
Or, you have managed to achieve complete divestment of the all-wise-and-knowing and PROLIFIC media. Tell me how you did it. I can’t get away from all the craziness for one freaking moment… even on the ‘Beet’s site! (sorry, Beet…)
Um… wow… is Anon. for real? Or just being ironic?
But to understand irony would mean that Anon is at least college-level educated, and has some form of critical thinking skills, being for real means… well, we’re fucked if this is the part Red-Neck nation that Bill Mahr was talking about.
I think that McCain is going to win just because he is a better choice of the two. Its a shame that gays can get “married” now. That should not be allowed anywhere any time. Its not beneficial to the mankind at all. Two mommies and two daddies – you would have to be retarded to think that it’s a good idea.
So 2 things.
1-scarily enough there actually people who think in the same vein as anon.’s post annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd
2-Not all Christians’s are closeminded, uber republicans that will blindly vote for McCain
beet – when you’re right, you’re right!
Anon,
YOU are the reason your country is going to fail if John McCain is president.
I bet you voted for Bush as well you idiot.
Because voting for Kerry was better than voting for Bush, PLEASE.
Anon is just one of many who has to cling to rumors & lies to justify voting for Mccain/Palin.
Those guys who shout “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!” at Palin ralleys are probably voting for McCain.
“rallies” (damn)
Also, that guy in La. who threatened election officials with a shotgun because he needed his voting registration so he could “keep that nigger out of office.” He’s probably voting for McCain.
And the students at Liberty University.
Oh, as opposed to those people who protest and burn Bush in effigy? There’s nastiness on both sides.
@ jk
Ironically, I have good friends that graduated from Liberty.
To all the Republicans who see this comment, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that your political philosophy is broken.
I’m sorry the president you thought was so great is now almost certainly going down in history as the worst president we’ve ever had.
I’m sorry that in order to convince yourself that John McCain is a better candidate than Barack Obama you have to tell yourself (and believe it) that the democratic candidate is a ’secret Muslim terrorist’.
I’m sorry that trickle down economics just don’t work.
I’m sorry that Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater would be disgusted by what has become of the Republican party.
I’m sorry that John McCain feels that in order to even have a chance at winning this race, he has to turn his rallies into hate-filled, fear-mongering rants.
And mostly, I’m sorry, Republicans, you did this to yourselves.
Anon’s another mindless McCain/Palin supporter. Brainwashed…
If you’re going to vote for McCain, at least be classy about it and vote on the issues. There’s no need for childish name-calling…come on, we’re not 12 here.
And Obama is not a terrorist. I’m sick of narrow-minded people like yourself feeing into all the outrageous lies.
oh Beet, the obama fans are the ones that still can’t explain what that one stands for, what he has ever accomplished, except he’s clean cut(all a ploy, from his book on how to appeal to”those white people”) he’s articulate(from the same book) and he’s a good public speaker. He stands for nothing, especially the USA, and says absolutely nothing, it’s a shame McCain is the other candidate, they are just not fighting enough.
That’s not ironic, Keightlynne.
@ Beet Czar –
Thank you.
You forgot to tell Dave that you’re sorry his candidate is all smoke and mirrors.
Oddly, all the dumb assess who voted for Bush are going to vote for McCain. Scary but you don’t have to have a working brain to vote. They were interviewing idiots from some small Ohio town this morning, both of these yahoos have 4 kids and live paycheck to paycheck and are afraid of a massive depression ruining their lives. Yee haw! Have more kids why don’t you? It was f’g sad, just clueless people who think that McCain is going to save their sad marginal lives, and I nearly wept.
It isn’t a black thing, it’s a stupid thing. Stupid people voted for a functional retard who got us in this position with the help of possibly the most corrupt congress ever, and they think an guy nearly 80 who’s probably insane is going make things right. We are doomed people, doomed.
Haha, you’re right jk, it’s fitting!
@Rootz – couldn’t agree more :)
I´m not even from US and i´m worried about Sarah Palin becoming president!
I mean, of course Mc Cain is experienced, he´s OLD! And he is gonna die soon!!!
So, unless you want Ms. “All I have To Offer is My Tina Fey´s looks”, you should vote for Obama!
Plus, he has a really sexy voice.. seriously, i could listen to his speeches all day long!
I am so shocked all you people that really, truly think Obama is going to save our economy, our healthcare, and our nation. He gets elected and this nation goes down the drains, say good bye to your democracy.
He is just a smooth talking puppet that has fooled a lot of people, it’s quite sad.
@ Monica
So really sexy voice you could listen to all day long > Ms. “All I have To Offer is My Tina Fey´s looksâ€.
wow. That’s some real good logic right there.
Small business owners will be voting for McCain – and I am one of them!
Obama is going to tax the hell out of us to the point where we’ll have to shut down and let go of all our staff. That is the one group of people that Obama seems not to give a damn about, unfortunately. If Obama is elected, there will be a lot more unemployed folks out there!
Oh Good God Monica – that’s a GREAT reason to vote.
But you do sum it up well don’t you – he’s got a great voice, you can listen to him all day long, but what do you walk away with? Nothing.
McCain is DA MAN. At least he has some experience. All nObama has is charisma – which is not helpfull to our country right now.
I have a question for everyone, Dem and Rep…
If you are making over 250,000 a year, WHY should you have to pay higher taxe rates than the rest of the people? How exactly is that fair? I’m just curious. I want to know how this can be justified in our Capitalist society.
@Eyes of Green:
I completely agree with you, and it’s one of my biggest problems with voting Democrat. Why are we punishing people for succeeding and thriving in the capitalist society we so value? It makes no sense to me.
@ Keightlynn really? “down the drains”? You’re kidding me with that one right?
Please.
I voted for Bush in 04. I will be voting for Obama in 2008.
The only thing you have evidenced in your comments is your own lack of knowledge.
Get back to me when you actually have some intelligent input
Kthnxbai!! ;)
OMG – have i reached my post limit today? I’ve tried to put something twice… LOL
And thank you Beet – it has me vexed also!
I’d like to see a good debate on Bob Barr.
Is anyone planning to vote libertarian this election?
I AM!!…
although it doesnt really matter one bit!… We all know the election has already been rigged,..oops, i mean,”won” by Obama..Because, how could any intelligent person think he sounds like a good idea?…oh yeah, thats right, youre all afraid of being called a racist if you are white, and ostersized if you are black!!…WHATEVER…. there is not ONE fair thing about this election…(as if politics are fair) but c’mon!..I have NEVER witnessed a more bias media or the “Hollywood Crowd”.basically ONLY catering to democrats and NOT giving a fair shot in hell to the republicans. we are made fun of in Skits and laughed at every chance …I am SO sick of the Bleeding heart liberal high horse, I could vomit!!!!…….It is SO true…Being a republican now a days is the “NEW GAY” …(we are forced into the closet and made fun of relentlessly) … excuse me a moment while i puke.
I would have to say I will be, If only for someone who is willing to tell both partys to screw them self. He will for better or worst work for the people not the party. Berry only knows the party line…
Now Nessie, if it were the ‘new gay’ there’d be more tolerance and we’d have a spokesperson somewhere…some PSA announcements and maybe a parade.
I always wondered about that 25% who think Bush is doing a good job. Apparently, they all post here.
HAHAHA, Eyes of Green – that is the BEST reply so far.
I would comment but this is like religious discussion for me. If I said they way I believed the goverment should run everyone would laugh.
Besides if we could run vehicles off all the bullshit that senators, congressmen and all other elected officials produce, we would have enough energy for several eons.
Wow…It’s amazing how “ANON” was brave enough to share his “insightful” views with us all.
Read a book. Learn something. Seriously. Icky. I can’t believe ignorant racist jerks like you still live in this country. Here’s some advice, in November when Obama’s elected, I suggest packing your stuff and leaving if you don’t like it here. I’m sure there are many hate mongering nations that will take ya.
Beet, your awesome. Obama 08!
@ Beet and eyes of green
Why should low income and middle class families have to pay the same amount of taxes when we have less money? Wealthy people have more to offer this country so I fully believe they should pay higher taxes. And they’re not being punished because they are successful.. They are just contributing to help their country more. That’s a punishment? No a punishment is taking a middle class family and not giving them health care because they have too much money for medicaid, and too little for private insurance. And what is one of the reasons we have too little money for health insurance? Because we’re paying so much in taxes! You really think wealthy people will suffer just because their taxes are higher? Nope!
@ Jess
Think about it as if you were in their shoes-
Would you want to pay more taxes of YOUR hard earned money just because you make more money?
You obviously don’t want higher taxes yourself, do you think they want to be forced to pay higher taxes too, and like it?
I think….
…..only women should pay taxes.
They buy all the shit anyway!
That’s a silly argument Jess. That’s like going to Mc Donalds and saying “I only have .50, why should I have to pay 4.00 for a Quarter Pounder.” You paying 10 percent on your income is much different than a millionaire paying 10 percent on her income. (unless of course you are a millionaire, and if that is the case, can we borrow 20 till payday?)
And if your income is so low that you can’t afford private insurance and make a little too much for Medicaid, you probably aren’t paying income tax anyway. Social Security, yes. Fed Tax, probably no.
It is not the responsibility of the rich to take care of the poor.
If I were blessed enough to make +$250K, 38% taxation would be fine by me
WOOOOOWHOOO with Tarasisko!
@Jess
Yeah, I’m not suggesting the rich pay the same dollar amount in taxes as the poor, but certainly the same percentage. It’s not their responsibility to support people who dropped out of high school or decided college seemed like too much work. With few exceptions, people who make a lot of money have worked their asses off over a long period of time to be in that position. It’s not their responsibility to take care of people who have made different choices. We all live with consequences of our actions.
@montysano
You say that now, but when 40% taxation results in the loss of $100K/year it suddenly doesn’t seem so fine. Especially when you are working your ass off for that money.
I sure am!
Well, as long as they let me out of the group home I live in and if I can just stop eating my poop all day.
It’s really delicious, and the worms really do it for me.
