But look at his record:
• John McCain wants to make Bush’s tax cuts
for the wealthy permanent, even though the
$70 billion to pay for them comes from programs
like Medicare that help working families.
S. 2020, Vote #26, 11/18/05; Republican Presidential
Debate, CNN, 1/30/08.
• John McCain voted to privatize federal jobs
and cut workers’ rights, including their right
to overtime pay, while voting in favor of foreign
trade deals that outsource American jobs.
HR. 5631, Vote #234, 9/6/06 (on privatization); S. 256, Vote
#27, 3/7/05 (on cutting overtime pay).
• John McCain not only voted for NAFTA,
but for other unfair trade deals that send
American jobs overseas and fail to meet fair
labor standards.
Central American Free Trade Agreement, S. 1307, Vote
#170, 6/30/05; Singapore Free Trade Agreement, H.R.
2739, Vote #318, 7/31/03; Chile Free Trade Agreement,
H.R. 2738, Vote #319, 7/31/03.
• “Economics is something that I’ve really never
understood.” John McCain will even admit it
himself — he just doesn’t get it.
“The Swamp,” Chicago Tribune, 12/18/07.
I respect that John McCain fought for our country. But I just
can’t believe he’s going to fight for working Americans like me.
I fought for freedom, too. But I vote for my family.
John McCain wants me to believe he’s a “straight-talker,” and not part of the Washington political
game that puts special interests ahead of working families.
I simply can’t vote for
John McCain.
As a veteran, I respect John McCain’s military
service. But as a family man trying to make
ends meet, I’m having a hard time with
McCain’s record in Washington.
Jim Wasser served three tours in Vietnam as a
member of the United States Navy. He currently lives
in Saint Anne, IL, and has been a proud member of
IBEW Local 176 since 1970.
