My, my, a personal attack.
Why are you so sensitive? I mentioned no screen names. And all of us know that there are Dim trolls working this site. Have been for years. Or, do you not believe that?
It's been going on for years.
Used to be the trolls would sign up and immediately post something so obvious, we knew what they were up to. Hence the ZOTS came into play (IBTZ).
Lately though, we now have 'deep cover' trolls, who join, stay as members for a while, then start posting. At first, the posts seem innocuous enough. But, libs being libs, they just cannot help themselves and eventually their lib tendencies begin to show themselves.
I’ve known we have trolls, as you say, they eventually can’t help showing themselves. But the “trollery” I’ve noticed lately has been a bit more subtle-such as the ardent support for McCain, when he’s nobody’s idea of a conservative. I could even understand someone saying they would, if pressed, hold their nose and vote for him as the last resort (though I won’t do even that much), but to enthusiastically support him when there are at least a couple of more truly conservative candidates to consider? I have great mistrust in how he even managed to come in first in New Hampshire-I don’t mean fraud, I mean in who voted for him.
Forget McCain’s record.
Look at only one thing. Last summer was the most monumental gathering of energy from the GOP base since 2004’s election. It was spat upon explicitly and directly by McCain’s Amnesty Bill and the entire GOP swore to make him pay.
How are they are doing so? By galloping around and not focusing on the single imperative of stopping him. “Let Mitt stop him in Michigan, we’ll waste our time in South Carolina (which has fewer delegates than EITHER Michigan or Nevada).”
People have spent all their energy hating Romney, who had NOTHING AT ALL to do with McCain’s Amnesty Bill, and have devoted none to stopping the one man who WILL open the borders.
A lot of people should be ashamed.
Then you will be personally responsible for Hillary becoming president.
Polls aren’t prospective like that. They are snapshots of what’s happening now....and NH tells us, those snapshots are sometimes quite blurry.
McCain sabotaged appointment of conservative judges, tried to jam Shamnesty down America’s throat, wants to bring the Gitmo prisoners to American territory, thinks waterboarding is torture, and so on.
He’s a weak, deeply-flawed liberal candidate.
Just to update the Red Truck fundraiser, it’s at $846,000 and the goal has been raised a gain to an even million.
Not at all. That's ridiculous. The GOP had better choose well if they want to EARN the conservative vote.
Nominating McCain is not "choosing well."
Why, are you already certain that McCain will be the nominee? Because I don’t think that I’m going to have to make that particular choice, I really don’t.
Just as I predicted after McCain’s solid victory in New Hampshire, he shoots to the lead in SC. Soon his nomination will be unstoppable.
Conservatives need to tread carefully here. If they refuse to vote for the GOP candidate, they will be ignored in the future by the Republican party and even less of their policies will be implemented.
I’m not voting for any of the four horsemen. Nope.
So what are you going to do?
I can only say that my experience differs. But I wouldn’t care if the whole Republican party endorsed him, there are too many important areas in which he differs from a true conservative stance, and I have been a Republican because I am a conservative, not in spite of it.
I will never vote for McCain.
Unless, of course, he is the nominee and then God help us all.
We’re being ignored already, if men like McCain or Huckabee get the nomination. Do they think that conservatives are Republican because they like the color red?
