Ive been waiting for a McCain post to lay it out to all of you MCCain haters out there.
The biggest problem this nation faces is ISLAMOFASCISM. I am willing to swallow my pride and vote for someone who gets it, and McCain gets it. Do you think that your quest for "conservative purity" in a candidate will get you any more than someone like a Newt or Mitt? Both of them are unelectable and will surely bring on the reign of CLINTON II or Hussein Obama. Face facts, there is no Reagan candidate for 08. I wish there were, but for now the only guy thats going to fight the good fight is McCain. Read Mark Steyn to get the lowdown on the danger this nation and modern society faces, then tell me we can go with the cut and run types.
Alot of people like John McCain....I don't.
I don't like the way he was involved in the Keating Five and found a hole to slime out of the mess he was in, is that why he's the media darling of all times?
And then there is the Campaign Finance Reform with him and Finegold....this opened the hole for Soros to pour money into the rat patrol pockets and increased the power of lobbyists.
McCain is all about McCain, he isn't interested in America, he could care less about the safety of America, he could care less about you and me.
Sure he went out on the campaign trail with President Bush in 04, but didn't you wonder if maybe he was a 'rat in sheep's clothing' to let Kerry know what Bush had planned? After all, it took McCain a week before he gave Kerry an answer as to whether he would be his VP....surely he wasn't concerned about America at that time, he was trying to figure out a way he could present this to the American people so they would swallow it, and when that didn't work, he said no, and that's the only reason....McCain for McCain.
I don't know why the people of Arizona vote him in all the time, guess he's bringing home the 'bacon' is the only reason I can see...I haven't seen him do any good for anything else but McCain.
Vote for him if thats what you want, another RINO, but I won't....there's to many of them in the Republican party and its time we get them out....
And now he's teaming up with Drunk kennedy for an immigration bill....why doesn't he just become a RAT instead of a RINO?????
The thing most disturbing in John McCain is that he wants to eliminate your 2nd Amendment right to speak out and criticize incumbent politicians.
If he becomes president you can rest assured that commenting on political affairs around election time on forums like Freep will be illegal, or will be subject to massive regulations and reporting your name, address, income and political affilliations to the public before you're permitted to express your opinion.
Oh, and those incredible discoveries of political chicanery like Buckhead exposed? They won't be allowed anymore.

As for this business about McCain being a traitor because he was forced to make a bogus war crimes confession-this is what the Vietcong animals did to many POWs. They treated him visciously when he refused to accept an offer to be repatriated. How well would any of the McCain bashers have held up under such circumstances? I should also like to point out that criticizing President Bush or the religious right is not a crime. To many conservatives, neither President Bush or the religious right are even close to actually being conservative.
Let the loonies (and they know who they are) back people who don't have a snowball's chance in hades of winning. Many of them are the same types who backed Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan, etc. Remember how well that turned out? I'm willing to hold my nose and vote for someone I agree with seventy or eighty per cent of the time because of the threat we face. We are at war, and we need a warrior, not a nanny-stater.
