What part of Marxist don't you understand?

I doubt one Freeper in 20 supported McCain in the early Primaries... but the other choices after it was clear Duncan Hunter wouldn’t win and Fred Thompson didn’t develop and the Dems nominate a mega-liberal, McCain became the best choice.
Very sad about Sarah Palin, though - good policies and likable but not much depth and she totally lost me saying abortion clinic bombers aren’t terrorists.
All in all, you have a good analogy - a waterfall election.
But I’d still rather be an American in America than anyone else anywhere else. We’ll come through.

Then there's your ludicrous idea that abortion and gay marriage will be unaffected by who takes office. The next President will appoint two or more Supremes, who will either rule in favor of abortion and in favor of forcing states to recognize other states' gay unions, or will reject slaughter, perversion and oppression. The next president will also either sign or veto the Freedom of Choice Act. That alone could cost or save millions of lives over the next generation.
In short, when you say you're a Reaganite you're either lying or deluded.
You rock! Can he even get up off the mat after that?
McCain plays the 44th President of the United States.
You are more full of sh!t than a Christmas turkey.
If you’re a Reagan conservative, I’m Governor Huey Long, back from the dead.
I call troll.
Surely you jest. Vote McCain/Palin.
Oh dear oh dear, if I had only heard this last week, you silver tongued devil. Why didn’t you tell us this earlier? Too late now, I have already voted for McCain.
Yes, yes, and why have a competent commander-in-chief when we can have a neophyte who kisses terrorist ass? And why have a guy who's committed to appointing pro-life judges when we can have a guy who has actually voted to keep infanticide legal and promised to sign the Freedom of Choice Act? Etc., etc. ad nauseum.
If you want to argue with Reagan, do it at DU.
Nicely put.
Moreover, someone who says we should let Senator Soiled Utility Room appoint a couple of Supremes because it won't end abortion tomorrow is no Reagan conservative.
Citation, please.
Welcome to FR.
IMO, either way you look at it, we’re screwed.
Interesting comment....
“My dad simply followed his rule of backing the Republican candidate no matter who he was.”
Somehow, I don’t think he means/meant this literally. But I also wonder just how bad the Republican nominee would have to be, before that would happen.
The bozos (yes, I went there and I bought real estate!) who are telling me it's out of bounds for a conservative to back McCain generally ignore the fact that Reagan backed Ford, even after I've pointed it out to them. "DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!"
The problem is, if one is to say that this time is different, and McCain is someone Reagan would reject, accepting an Obama presidency, one must accept one of the following premises:
1. McCain is significantly more liberal than Ford.
2. Jimmy Carter was vastly more of a danger to the Republic than Barack Obama.
I say "NO SALE" on both those premises. Sitting out this one or voting third party is about ego, not Reaganism. I would also note that Al Qaeda has made their endorsement.
I’ll see if I can find a better link - this one was posted by KOS - but it matches other video I’ve seen
I was very sad to see this response.

“But I’d still rather be an American in America than anyone else anywhere else. We’ll come through.”
I’m not so confident. I think the American people are at the tipping point, with more people getting benefits than paying taxes. And Obama and ACORN are doing everything they can to undermine our confidence in our electoral process.
We’ve only been around for 220 years, a short moment in time. Our system is held in place only by a thin veneer of civilization that restrains the beast within, and a sense of civic responsibility, that is rapidly being eroded and being replaced by a growing sense of entitlement.
