Thanks, I think.

If there were 70 Republicans in the Senate, the Democrats would find a way to scream "foul" and get enough Republicans to knuckle under to get their way.
I'm absolutely convinced of it.

I share your conviction.

[poobear]

Well now there is a great plan. Do nothing. Don't vote, stay home. That will SURELY make a difference. Why not just go over to the DU and change party affiliation. That will surely guarantee a voice in the future for our children.

Or is this how they thought we would react? (tin foil hat on). -

re: mcstain
In another thread someone posted this comment: "Benedict Arnold was wounded while fighting FOR America. No one remembers him for that."

[Tulane]

Quick question:

I see the "tin foil hat" reference every now and then...what exactly does that me...

Thanks, clueless.

Should he be villified for one freaking political move? News flash.......

News flash, indeed. "One Political Move"? You're kidding right?

[Tulane]

I am not sure what McCain has done warrants the title of traitor to his country? Does it?

[ElPatriota]

Same like you. But will spring for $ for people who go after these weasels. I would be happt to get LG or Warner... that would satisfy me :)

[Tulane]

What other of his "votes" have brought this much resentment and moaning?

I know he's pro-choice. But he is on the right side of many other issues.

Thanks, I think

I meant it, though it was tongue in cheek. I disagree with you on this one. I don't think you are a moron.

I wouldn't think that the other poster was a hateful moron, if I didn't see him acting like a.....hateful moron.

Thanks.

I'm trying not to blow my stack about this deal. If I read all my posts here since Monday, I would probably think I was schizophrenic.

I posted a long post on this thread already describing my feelings. (Talk about therapy!) All in all I still think the deal made things worse, but all I can do is hope things EVENTUALLY work out. Before time runs out.

Part of the frustration may be that people just don't understand why some of the folks they support "turn" on them. Maybe the DU folks feel that way too. Although I hate to make ANY comparison.

I try never to write anything here that I wouldn't mind the whole world reading. because they could! :)

[clee1]

I hear ya... and am thinking the same thing.

It pains me greatly, because I like my GOP representation here in GA.

[dynachrome]

I honor him for physical courage in winning the Medal of Honor. Politically, he has no b@lls. He likes being patted on the head by the New York Slimes

[cvq3842]

Understood.

I won't trash McCain's military service. I just won't.

But it doesn't give him a pass for life. He can be, and is, wrong on this issue.

[tumblindice]

Agree, service or disseervice to his country 40 years ago is not relevant, e.g. Lincoln saw no combat while Grant did, but which was the better president?
But unless Senator McCain thinks he outranks Senator Frist, he didn't follow the chain-of-command. Insubordination in itself should result in some sort of discipline, if Senator Frist was not involved, and we know he did not sign the `agreement'. (And that term brings up questions of authority and delegation, or not.)

[dynachrome]

That's what I meant by the quote from the other thread (sorry, can't remember which thread)

[Cowman]

I disagreed with the comprimise, but it SHOULD NOT SPLIT THE PARTY...if it does, the Dems really did win.

I'm all for party unity but I am also in favor of party discipline. When you have a loose cannon like Mccain stirring up dissent at the exact time you are about to remove the only weapon your enemy has (other than the MSM) you have to eliminate or punish the traitor. If we shift to the left on things and compromise our core values then we will cease to be in power as well.I think what Frist and the boys need to do is remove funding from RINO campaigns and stop the goodies from going to the districts. Send them to Jeffords land.

[cvq3842]

It means someone is a "wacko."

I THINK the reference comes from an NYPD blue episode, in which a crackpot called the precinct saying that aliens were reading his mind. The receptionist, thinking quickly, said to put tinfoil on his head so the brain waves couldn't be read.

The insult is generally used to denote a person advancing an off-the-wall, conspiratorial idea. Think Michael Moore!

Anyway, that's where i know it from. If someone else has a better explanation, I'd love to know!

[Tulane]

Just saw your post...

I think we agree on this issue. I understand why people feel they have been failed. In a sense they have. But the greater danger, I believe, is the split of the party. McCain is not the person most conservatives want as a president. His time to pay should come when and if he runs in 08 (at the primary level).

If he should be the nominee, which looks doubtful, but you never know, I would hope that people would chose him over the democrats that are being mentioned as potential candidates.

Oh well, rant over.

[monkeywrench]

You do realize that mccainiac isn't being villified for one freaking political move, don't you?
