I was angry and unhappy about McCain’s apparent nomination. But I watched his speech to CPAC and I feel better about it. He says he will nominate judges like Roberts and Alito. He says he will make the Bush Tax Cuts permanent and reduce the size of the federal government. He says he will secure the border first before dealing with other aspects of the illegal immigration problem. I voted for Perot in ‘92 and was stuck with 8 years of Clintonian tyranny. I don’t want to go through that again. I would rather have a Republican and raise hell with him when he’s wrong (like Bush in re Miers) and have some pull with him, than have a godless megalomaniac latent homosexual who will sic the IRS on me if I disagree with her. If HRC or B. Hussein Obama becomes president they will damage the country for 30 years through their appointment of sociopathic Marxist-Leninists to the Supreme Court.
What did they expect? This has to be intentional. Conservatives are being told their votes are wanted but not their thoughts. It isn’t McCain that is telling us that either he’s just the masthead.
Have you noticed that no one of any “high standing” in the Republican Party will support or defend people like Keyes, Allen or Hunter?
I’m still waiting for the first story angle:
McCain wins Republican Nomination: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit
...let alone Ron Paul. Whether or not you like him, his platform is essentially that of the “Old Right”, which was and still is a valid strain of conservatism...
The problem is, “he says” seems to be at war with “he did”.
Good luck with that! Not this conservative.
Far as I'm concerned at this stage, McCain and the GOP are no better than liberals. Let them stew in the wilderness or the next decade. The GOP brought this on themselves.
Tired, so tired of RINOS. Immigration RINOS. President RINO. Congressional RINOS. Candidate RINOS.
The GOP has nothing to do with conservatives.
3 weeks or so he said he'd not have appointed Sam Alito because he's too conservative. Now when he desperately needs conservatives he says he would.
And you believe him?
You're either gullible or naive!
Or Both!
"Cutting off the nose to spite the face is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive overreaction to a problem. "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning not to act out of pique or pursue revenge in such a way as to damage yourself more than the object of your anger.
[edit] Origins
The phrase is believed to have originated from a (probably fictional) event that was said to have taken place in AD 867: Viking pirates from Sjaelland and Uppsala landed in Scotland and raided the monastery of Coldingham. When news of the raid reached Aebbe the Younger, the Mother Superior, she gathered her nuns together and urged them to disfigure themselves, that they might be unappealing to the Vikings. In this way, they hoped to protect their chastity. St. Aebbe accomplished this by cutting off her nose and upper lip. The nuns proceeded to do the same. The Viking raiders were so disgusted by the scene that they burned the entire building to the ground.
Although the nuns believed their actions to be justified (indeed, Aebbe was canonized), the expression has since come to refer to pointlessly self-destructive actions motivated purely by malevolence. For example, if a man is mad at his wife, he may burn down their house to punish her. Of course, this would be an example of cutting off his nose to spite his face, as in the process of burning down her house he would also be destroying his home, along with all his personal possessions.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just read that whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After reading that, I will crawl over broken glass to vote for McCain and I can’t stand the guy.
This man needs to be exposed. Except he has the perfect cover. He’s black. ANYthing that is said against him is racist.
From my biblical world view, if this man is POTUS, I KNOW what is about to happen!
We need to pray against this man. He is litterally the devil in sheeps clothing.
I’m just the opposite. I pleaded with people not to support Perot because he was an obvious spoiler for Clinton. Except for the amnesty fight, I’ve kept my mouth mostly shut when I disagree with Bush, and that has been a lot. McCain is not something I can abide. What did you expect him to say to CPAC, an organization he has never respected enough to speak to before now? I don’t ask in order to dissuade you from your decision, only out of curiosity. McCain is a liar. He knows he can’t win without the very conservatives he hates and criticizes. We aren’t talking about holding out for perfection here. I bit the bullet and voted for Romney, even though I know he is a liberal. McCain has been the point man for just about every attack on Bush and on conservatives for the past eight years. He is a Democrat, much closer to Hillary and Kennedy than he is any of his Republican counterparts in the Senate. Good luck with your decision, but I’m not going for this one. McCain will kill the conservative movement and the Republican Party. In my opinion, he will hurt us far worse than Hillary or Obama. At least with them, we can fight an enemy that is outside our gates.
