I am with you Jan. I am tired of the political manipulation.

I hope Ron Paul runs 3rd party. At least he believes in the Constitution which R’s and D’s seem to no longer have any respect for.

The issue is whether McCain would name a conservative that would tip the balance of power. I don’t think he will do it. He didn’t like Alito even though he voted for him.

I don’t think we get a consevrative either way so why should we vote McCain just because he *might* name a conservative but probably won’t? That seems like a really weak reason to support so repulsive a nominee.

I am calm...like I have said before, I am going to help John McCain have the biggest landslide DEFEAT in American history!

I am calm. The voters have spoken and the nominating process is almost over. The corrupt Washington insider entities known as political parties will nominate a SITTING UNITED STATES SENATOR, all of whom treacherously supported AMNESTY for illegals. I have calmly decided, that I AIN’T voting for no sitting Senator.

I just don't like his record -
It speaks for itself - we don't need to hear his interpretation.

And I don't believe a word he says now that he wants our votes.

But on top of that -

I CAN"T STAND THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE!

And his overuse of his homaged cliches drives me up a wall.

My friends, did you know he was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution?

That is a transcendent fact, my friends.

I refuse to listen to him make speeches as president for 4 years or 8 years.

That is just too much to ask.

Who do you think Hillary or Obama would give us?

Maybe, it is a Tiger or a Lady scenario, our chances are better with a McCain doing the nominating over a Hilde or Obama though.

Personally I would like Janice Rogers Brown to get the nod, that ain’t happening with a Hilde or Osama presidency.

We know that Hillary or Obama won’t, of that we can be certain.

Yes, and the statement frequently used is, “Be quiet and you won’t get hurt.”

I am looking forward to voting against you, Johnny, or skipping it altogether. You’re one of the reasons I gave up being a Republican, though I still would vote Republican. Won’t be saying that this election. Should be fun watching you melt down on national television. Embarrassing, but fun. And if you do happen to win, then the Republican party will, rightfully or otherwise, get the blame for whatever bad might happen. Happy trails.

Yep and also watching on McCain on C-Span over the years
has been a real eye opener.

I can vote for McCain, under two conditions:
  1. He chooses a solid conservative running mate;
  2. He goes to that big maverick hot tub in the sky before November 4.
Unless those two conditions are met, I cannot vote for McCain.

I won’t be voting for McCain and I won’t be voting for Clinton. Where that leaves me, I’m not sure. It depends on who decides to make an independent run. But if it comes down to Obama vs. Clinton, I’m choosing Obama and if it comes down to Obama vs. McCain, I’m choosing Obama. If it comes down to Clinton vs. McCain, I’m going to grieve for this nation on my way out the door.

Exactly. Let’s see if that happens.

For that matter, let’s see if his ‘conservative’ principles stand up on the trail against Hillary.

May be an easy choice to blow off flip-flop John in November.
