CNN calls conservatives' rejection of McCain "Trotskyism"
CNN | 2008-02-05 | CNN

I just turned on CNN, and they're defending McCain like crazy. One of the anchors just quoted Dobson's comments critical on McCain, and said that there's "a kind of Trotskyism" in the Republican party by conservatives to unfairly target him. Anyone else catch that?

CNN are a lot of empty talking heads. What has Trotskyism to do with conservatism? They’re just worried that the conservatives aren’t falling into line behind their “acceptable” Beatable Republican, like the ‘rats do theirs, because they’re sheep.

Possible outcome of a 2008 election with a 

third party run
Possible outcome of a 2008 election with a third party run against the McCain-Huckabee-Soros-Clinton-Obama Cabal.

There are a lot of angry conservatives tonight who were denied their third choice.

For all Romney's faults, he's shown himself to be a man of class and decency who doesn't delight in pi**ing on the base. He's also shown he can organize, raise money and compete.

A third party candidacy could result in a deadlocked election where McCain-Huckabee would have to make meaningful concessions to win. At the very least, it would give conservatives someone to show up and vote for at the top of the ticket to save conservatives down ticket.

Intensity of blue(R)/red(D)/green(3) shades indicate probable percent of vote.

I liken CNN as the Communist Network—One World Order News concept and The Cheerleading Platform of the DNC.

No surprise a commie word was used to try and insult anyone who refuses to follow like sheeple their views.

They don’t give a rip about conservative prinicpals— ie: banging the drum for McCain - a liberal, to become the Republican nominee.

Does your map suggest that a third party candidate helps the GOP more than the dems?

I agree. So, how do we go about getting a third party candidate?

A bit too late to hire Fred to coach the team- with the first half nearly over

But it's still preseason, isn't it?

Rush is playing quotes that the media is now comparing HIM to Boss Tweed and Kingfish (Huey Long).
