Something has been bothering me all week and I'm hoping someone here can make me understand. Since 2001, we've been calling the Democrats a party of surrender, anti-war, anti-troops, etc. McCain has his faults. There's no question about it. But why are people like Ann Coulter, Tammy Bruce, Michelle Malkin and many here ready to hand over control of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the future of the War on Terror, and the care of our troops to Hillary Clinton? That's what will happen if people decide to either stay home or vote for Hillary in some kind of misguided moral protest. Don't our troops deserve better than that? It's throwing them to the wolves.
So we throw the nation to the wolves on every other issue?
Not buying it.
If Republicans vote for the Dem candidate, just to teach the Republican Party a lesson, the RNC is only going to think the country wants the Republican to be MORE liberal, and they will give us someone who is more liberal next time.
It’s a bridge too far even for Sean Hannity, as much as he’s been knocking McCain.
The answer is yes, by the way.
Precisely. We have such a crop of gun-jumpers and paranoids on FR lately.
That’s not just another issue.
I do not feel it is in the best interest of the nation to vote for MCain. I believe he is mental. I believe Hillary with all of her failings would serve the nation better. It pains me to think this way. We must look at what is best for the Republic not just the party. I am a life long Republican —and a moderate one at that— but there is something about McCain that sends chills up my spine. He’s Nixon without the charm. He will be bad for the nation and cause more harm that Hillary and her “Hubby.”
They’re trying to wake conservatives up and get them to vote for Romney!!!
Agreed wholeheartedly. It’s the direction of the Republican Party, therefore it’s inevitable.
I’m already tired of this latest guilt trip your kind is trying to foist on me.
McCain is radioactive. Live with it.
Don’t you think the War on Terror is the most important issue right now?
I won’t be voting for McCain, he can go to hell, and so can his friend Huckabee. I can’t stand it when people play dirty. I won’t vote for that creep or reward his disgusting little deal he has going with Huckabee. If it comes between McCain and Obama, I will vote for Obama. If it comes between McCain and Hillary I will stay home. I’m pissed, can you tell?
Why is this in ‘Breaking News’? It seems there are a lot of these Vanities lately that espouse one or another’s opinions and are not ‘News’.
It’s time to fire the GOP. We need a supplier who won’t try to sell us garbage.
Why don't we try leaving the troops out of it, they are all big boys and girls and do a fine job of taking care of themselves.
Our troops have survived much worse. The American military troop is the toughest soldier/sailor/marine on the planet.
America has survived Carter and Clinton I. We can survive Clinton II.
Conservatives, on the other hand, lose all respect and dignity if we roll-over and man the phone banks, pound the pavement and vote for the one “Republican” who has made a career of stabbing us in the back.
We’ll wait until `12 and present a real Republican and a real Conservative. Back-stabbing RINO’s MUST be stopped and purged.
“My kind”? I didn’t know I had a kind.
Look, I’m not crazy about voting for McCain but I don’t see the logic in handing that kind of control over to the Dems when we’ve spent the past seven years bashing them on the war.
Any person who would give government the ability to regulate political speech should be hounded from office.
That includes not only McCain and Feingold, but every elected individual who did not go to the mat in opposition to McCain-Feingold.
