Yeah that's it. David is a liberal activist who just happened to "inundate" some 4 years before you showed up here.
Oh and here's your mug.

Banking on Becoming President The presidential field has dwindled significantly, but not before the candidates raised more than half a billion dollars in 2007. By some predictions, the eventual nominees will need to raise $500 million apiece to compete—a record sum. To find out where all this money is coming from, click on the candidates' names below and explore the options to the left. The candidates now file campaign finance reports monthly. The reports for May are due June 20th.
Democratic Candidates Candidate
TOTAL $$$$$ RAISED
OBAMA $265,439,277
Clinton $214,883,437
McCain, $96,654,783
------------------- MY COMMENTS --------------
Here is the bottom line folks... I would again encourage you ALL --- DO NOT SEND A PENNY TO THE RNC or McCain this ENTIRE ELECTION CYCLE ------ This is the ONLY way that we will be able to make the point that we NEED a more conservative candidate...
J U S T S A Y N O T O J O H N M c C A I N
I won’t be following your order.
Hey did you see that Duncan Hunter (Jr) won his primary?
That’s right - just sit on your hands and a marxist will be elected president - that’ll show’em, by golly!
Ah. I don’t think so. John McCain for President ‘cause the alternative is unthinkable.
Idiot.
If people listen to you, which thankfully they will not, Barack Obama will be our next President, and you will be to blame.
Crawl back in your hole. Please.
My point in this is that there is still time for McCain to step down and allow us to pick a candidate that is acceptable to the conservative base...
McQueeg said no to me a long time ago. He and hus mug collectors are too busy groveling for marxist/socialist Clintbama votes.
that is not an order.... its a suggestion/game plan to achieve the result that we all want..
“If people listen to you, which thankfully they will not, Barack Obama will be our next President, and you will be to blame.”
Barak is going to beat McCain. Why toss your vote for another loser instead of letting them know you’re sick of their RINO candidates....perhaps you are happy with them. Most of us are not and refuse to encourage more of the same.
you really don’t know me very well.. come November if we are STILL stuck with McCain then I will have to do some real serious soul serarching and decide whether I can hold my nose and pull the lever for him... until then we STILL have time to FIX the problem.. and McCain has the power to STEP DOWN... the only way he WILL is if we send the message LOUD AND CLEAR.. with our collective check books..
And so will you Jedidah. The people who demanded a conservative to vote for have been up front about it from the beginning. there are some from third parties or running independently on the ballot. You personally Jedidah, will be just as responsible for Obama If he wins as they will be personally.
You can do what you wish to help Hussein Obama get elected but I will be voting against him. If that means McCain, that means McCain.
He's not Reagan, but I'm not convinced he's any further left than GWB.
BHO is dangerous beyond compare, if McCain can beat him we'd be better off getting him to move to the right than abandoning him.
Great advice... for the primaries... Considering where the delegates are, right now the best strategy is to push for a strong Conservative VP on the ticket who will take the reigns when McCain's term is up.
ROTFLMAO!!!! We ain't gonna get the Pope! And I sure as heck ain't letting Obama into the White House to become Commander in Chief and pick the next 3-4 Supreme Court Justices.
This is simply not the right time for your little plan.
I am sick and tired of people telling me that they.....”support McCain because they are scared of OBAMA”.. that would only be the case if the General election was taking place TODAY... the fact of the matter is NOVEMBER IS A LOOOOONG way away.. and there IS TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM.....
MY FELLOW CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS.... WAKE UP !!! PLEASE
Enough with stupid nonsense! So a minority of voters (conservatives) will deem by dictatorial degree who the nominee will be? Why bother having elections?
Thanks but no thanks. I’m not interested in having a guy who surrounds himself with anti american people to be in the white house. A guy who seems to be more interested in doing what he considers to be the “fair” thing (i.e. raising capital gains taxes) than doing what is known to be the smart thing. Yep, “fair” to whom, I wonder.
A guy who was more interested in running from Iraq than in winning.
I heard this story before, let’s teach them a lesson, and we ended up with 8 years of clinton. Let’s teach them a lesson, and we have a democratic controlled congress that is now poised to make even more gains in the fall. Yep, let’s have Obama in the white house along with a dem majority in congress.
I don’t care for McCain, but I’ll take him anyday over Obama. Just imagine trying to criticize obama if he were to win, whoever tries to go against him will be branded a racist.
Step away from the crack pipe.
Why would he step down? Even if the stories about his ego aren't true, we have to face the fact he has won a majority of primary votes by a large margin. Yea it sucks, but that is life. We need to find a way to make the best of it by pushing for a Conservative VP choice and pressuring legislators on voting Conservative on individual issues.
sorry.. I can’t agree with you there.... we need a conservative on the TOP of the ticket and then we can “compromise” with a moderate VP... that is the way to unite the party.... I hate this rhetoric about vote for McCain because Obama is worse.. what kind of crappy campaign slogan is that...
Nice try. WTF is this, a college prank? It’s as if FR is being inundated with activist liberals posing as ordinary “concerned” citizens.
You have absolutely no knowledge of the hours and money I spent trying to get a very conservative candidate to the nomination.
However, unlike some misguided souls, I understand that I can’t win all battles, and I didn’t win this year.
McCain was absolutely not my choice for President, but I’ll vote for him in November because he’s the best left standing. To stay home (or pitch a hissy fit like the originator of this thread) is a waste of time.
And this year it could put a Marxist in the White House.
“My point in this is that there is still time for McCain to step down and allow us to pick a candidate that is acceptable to the conservative base”
That is not a point: that is a fantasyland.
I don’t like John McCain much, but I like him a little. That’s more than I can say for Barack Obama.
I am sick and tired of people like YOU, who try to tell us that McCain is worse or equal to Obama in order to scare us away in November from voting McCain, and thus are active Obama enablers.
*******************
No, there isn't. It's not going to happen.
We're either going to vote for McCain or let Obama take the presidency without any opposition from us.
Now THAT'S unacceptable.
.....I have concluded FR is a little over the top with demonizing McCain.....
It is not Free Republic, it is a few bitter conservatives, Harriet Christian type conservatives if you will, that place personal ego over rational thought.
We like to condemn liberals for being emotional rather than rational, but the same applies to many here. They prefer Obama to McCain because their ego described as core principles will not admit that the primaries are over, that a purist conservative was not nominated, and that they have in in effect declared themselves losers rather than admit it.
I didn't know that was a chapter in "Mother Goose" fairy tales.
“he’s actually more progun than GWB and most of his positions on immigration.....are distorted here.”
Please, show us ONE distortion of McCain about immigration? Please. All I’ve seen is his record and quotes...like this one. The ONLY reason McCain has gotten this far is because the public doesn’t know yet what he is all about. But they will. Do you think the media will now keep his real record secret???
April, 2006 - SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: “ My friends, I’ll offer anybody here $50 an hour if you’ll go pick lettuce in Yuma this season and pick for whole season. So — OK? Sign up. OK. When you sign up — you sign up, and you’ll be there for the whole season. The whole season, OK? Not just one day. Because you can’t do it, my friend. Sign up.”

NOTE: THOUSANDS of people signed up, they wrote McCain’s office. NO response.
McCain Supporters Farthest Off the Mark
WASHINGTON (March 31, 2007) – A new poll using neutral language finds that primary and caucus voters have little knowledge of candidates’ immigration positions. The results also show that voters often do not share their candidate’s position. * Only 34 percent of McCain voters, 42 percent of Clinton voters, and 52 percent of Obama voters correctly identified their candidate as favoring eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants who meet certain requirements.
* Of McCain voters, 35 percent mistakenly thought he favored enforcement that would cause illegals to return home, another 10 percent thought he wanted mass deportations, and 21 percent didn’t know his position.
* Voters often held different positions from the candidate they supported. Only 31 percent of McCain voters had the same immigration position as he does. For Clinton voters, 45 percent shared her position; 61 percent of Obama voters shared his position.

Great idea. It worked so well in 1992. And 1996. And 2006.
Here is the challenge with this. First, we have to admit we are in a small minority. If we weren't, we wouldn't have McCain at the top of the ticket. Second, the VP slot represents a long term movement, what will Conservatives be for 2012 and beyond. McCain may be a temporary stop-gap for 2009 to 2012. Third, even if McCain steps down, the delegates already at the convention are pledged to McCain, and thus, would most likely put their vote in for a McCain light, someone we still wouldn't be satisfied with. That would also leave our side in chaos very close to the general election, not enough time to put a new campaign together. I agree, the rhetoric of 'vote for McCain because he isn't Obama' is lame, but let's be real, we are dealing with politicians, we always will vote for the lesser of two evils. Only once in a lifetime do you get a decent man on the top of the ticket. More often than not, it is just another career politician.
Barak is going to beat McCain. Why toss your vote for another loser instead of letting them know you’re sick of their RINO candidates
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Barack is going to win if people listen to guys like you and don’t bother to vote or send for mccain or the RNC, it then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Yep, with people like you going around telling people not to vote for Mccain, you’re doing Obama’s work for him.
It was the people who voted in republican primaries who chose McCain. Too bad, too many of you didn’t like Rudy or Romney, and now we’re stuck with McCain.
I’ll vouch for David (even though I disagree with him on this), he is no Liberal Activist by a long shot.
So the author would rather have a president Obamanation ?
I am just not going to listen to McNut, and only vote for him in order to perserve our Capitalist system. I cannot stand McCain, but I fear Obama. It's a horrible way to look at things, but what choice do we have?
I am reminded of a quote by Winston Churchill:
-Winston ChurchillIn war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
I’m sorry, did I miss something?
Is FR now the center of the Committee to Elect Barack Obama?
Send the RNC your messages back to them in their prepaid solicitation envelopes.
Sorry. Can’t back you on this. President Obama is enough trouble, but President Obama with a Democrat Senate and House will be unstoppable. Add to that, his power to appoint as many as three Supreme Court Justices as well as the power to appoint THOUSANDS of others to Federal courts, agencies, and more, across the country and that terrifies me way more than a President McCain ever could.
I haven’t given a dime yet to McCain, but I think I may have just talked myself into sending him a few bucks.
I agree with you, but the McBrownshirts and the terrified are very vocal.
I’m planning to write in Duncan Hunter..
:) thanks my FRiend... we don’t have to agree on everything.. and I am sure come November we will all hold our nose... just like we always have in the past.. but I can’t sit back and NOT fight for a better candidate.... I AM BEGGING McCAIN TO STEP DOWN -— we can WIN this election with a more conservative candidate.. I would even go along with McCain as VP... I am sooo furious that so many folks did not see this coming in the primary... the ONLY reason McCain won the primary was because the conservative vote was SPLIT and the moderate to liberal wing of the party united behind McCain... that’s it PERIOD..
For a Freeper you are sadly ill informed.
MeCain was and still is for Amnesty for illegal immigrants.
CFR limits Free Speech.
There is nothing distorted in those 2 sentences!
He is no worse on immigration than the current Republican president.
LOL.. I have recieved sevearl phone calls in the past couple of days from the RNC and RPOF (Republican Party of Florida) asking why I have not sent my check this year.. well when I told the poor tele marketer my reason he/she did not seem at all surprised.. it’s like they have heard it from other folks they have called.... THIS is how we get the message throught folks.... MONEY TALKS !!!
