John McCain: Can He Be a Falwell Republican?

WP ^ | May 7, 2006 | Byron York

An irate female Republican caller from Arizona to a radio show said that McCain's office responded to her and her group that "he does what he thinks is right". Her response was that his job is to do what the people of Arizona think is right not enforce his personal opinion.

I believe she has started a movement called mothersagainstmccain.com maybe .org or something similar.

"he does what he thinks is right."

Not exactly following the concept of a representative republic. It's the will of the people not the will of the person.

McCain -- the real "Manchurian Candidate".

[FairOpinion]

McCain: "I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."

That is like bing the best yodeler in Compton.

So that's what that noise is that I hear, along with the drums, off the 405 driving through Compton late at night.

By "high priestess" I assume you refer to Hillary Clinton? Hopefully, we don't get that far, but I wonder what Jim Robinson would do if faced with McCain vs. Clinton?

Apparently he can be a Falwell Republican. He just can't be a The Ghost of FReepers Past Republican.

Do they yodel in Compton? LOL

I can with a clear conscience vote for every race but the Presidential race. I'll leave it blank if I have to. That's not staying home, it's just not liking the options in that one race. I think a lot of Democrats in Florida didn't like Gore, then they later claimed they meant to vote for him. But it is not unheard of for a voter to vote in one race and offer no choice in the other.

Not too much

I can only speak for myself of course, but if McCain is on the ballot at the Republican Primary, my vote will be cast for one of the others, whether I have to flip a coin or am genuinely impressed by one or the other.

I already know who I will not vote for, even under threat of death for voting otherwise!

Uh...those aren't drums.

What rubbish. Looks like York is auditioning for another appearance on MTP where Russert will get him to criticize Bush. York, Kate o'Bierne, etc., circulate from one sunday program to another because they are in the Novak mold.

"McCain vs. Clinton?"

===

Let's hope and pray and work to make sure that will NOT be our choice in 2008.

"That's why I said I was hoping for a strong R. candidate, who can win the primary and be able to beat the Dem nominee."

Another George Allen supporter, welcome to the common sense winning team!

Yes, but I am not a member of the "any Republican but McCain" club.

I will be happy to be a member of the "any Republican who can win" club--even Rudi and McCain.

We are facing just a disaster if the Dems get in charge of making appointments--eventually enough Republicans will break ranks and vote to give their appointees a vote. If they don't the MSM will have the weak-minded majority believing that Republicans do nothing but obstruct.

I can't speak for you or Jim, but as for myself, the choice would be easy. Chugalug the kool ade.

[FairOpinion]

You can see from my tag line, that I agree with you, but I am still hoping that we won't have to choose between McCain and Hillary.

The worst problem with McCain is that he is unstable and you can't trust his judgment.

But I don't really think that he has a chance to win the R. nomination.

[Beagle8U]

" but I wonder what Jim Robinson would do if faced with McCain vs. Clinton?"

I can speak for nobody but myself, but my guess would be what everyone else is doing, making sure that turd never gets on the ballot.

As someone else said here....It won't be Abe Lincon V George Washington either, its not going to happen.

[FairOpinion]

I think the Dems are pushing McCain, and make him sound as a viable candidate for the Republicans, hoping that Republicans will be dumb enough to vote for McCain in the primary, but then not vote for him in sufficient numbers in the actual election, giving Hillary the victory.
