You honestly think comparing the Republican frontrunners to the Third Reich is going to win you any fans here?

From which ring of Hell did you arise?

The problem is that MOST of his stances taken together are deal breakers. Combine that with his vile temper and compulsion to lash out at ANYONE, friend or foe who disagrees with him (with the possible exceptions of his handlers, Fat Teddy and Hanoi John) and what you wind up with is a detestable human being.

My thoughts exactly! The big problem isn’t just losing the Presidency, it is the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court that we fought over 40 years to regain. And because of one maniac, we stand to lose all of it.

If McCain is the nominee...the country has already been sacrificed.

Your choice to charge in and hurl reactionary insults is no doubt indicative of your extreme intelligence.

I would be happy to get on board and drive McCain’s train over a cliff.

Which reminds me that McCain called POW/MIA families "whiners and vultures, and lunatic fringe."

Yeah, what's not to detest?

"If necessary I will vote for McLame against Hellary. On the detestability scale of 1-10, McCain ranks a 7, the Devilish Duo rank a 20."

Agreed.

You’re very welcome.

I can’t go with Ron Paul. I know he won’t win, but I just can’t go there. I wonder why he’s not going with the Libertarians.

I guess I’ll just check out the choices when the time comes.

Conservatives are sick and tired of the Republican elite (media and politicians) trying to get them to sell out their principles (one more time) to get Democrat-Lite. Conservatives put Republicans in control of both houses of congress and the presidency and got very little in return except scorn and being told to shut up and get to the back of the bus. 2006 was a landslide victory for the Dems because conservative voters stayed home. The Republican elites decided that meant they should shift even further to the left in order to win an election.

McCain is a sacrificial media lamb (think Bob Dole) who will insure the Democratic candidate gets elected. Conservatives have had enough and are willing to watch the train wreck. How the people leading the Republican party can’t figure this out is pretty amazing.

Yup! This whole election is like a chess game. Just playing with the next move without looking ahead will never win the game. This is serious. Thanks anyway, Tommy, at least we understand.

You can cast your presidential vote for [Ron Paul] with confidence that,

1. He won’t win the election for President, and

2. It will signal the Republican establishment that they can’t force-feed us with such a distasteful candidate as McCain.

I have heard this argument before, but I frankly do not understand it. How is it the fault of "the Republican establishment" that John McCain seems destined to become the GOP nominee in 2008?

It was an atomized conservative field that made it difficult to consolidate effectively behind any one conservative candidate. And the RNC, for all its faults, is not picking the nominee. Primary and caucus voters are doing so.

Why, many talking heads marvel, are conservatives ambushing their only real shot at a general election victory in November?

Because the talking heads don't realise that a win for McCain would not be a victory for conservatives.

Try logic instead of emotion...all I hear is vitriolic flamming (i.e., reactionary insults) against McCain.... and very little thought. He’s anti-abortion and pro tax-cuts....pro-military and pro-spending cuts.........don’t lie about his principles......he’s clearly NOT a person who will “sacrifice the country”.

Basically, you are advocating playing political russian roulette with a semi-automatic handgun, FRiend. You go first.

As for me, my principles are not for sale.

If McCain is on the ticket I’m thinking of voting for Obama.

With him being so left it should lock the government up for 4 years.

Getting nothing done is better than getting a bunch of crap jammed down our throats
