Since many conservatives say they won’t vote for John McCain, and some say they’ll even vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, it might be worth looking at some of the people whose power and influence will be far more potent as a result of such pettiness. To wit:
–George Soros. A multi-billionaire with megalomaniacal ambitions. Financier of some of the most virulent lunatic-left organizations in the country. Just revealed as the chief funder of a recently debunked “study” by the British medical journal, Lancet, which claimed 650,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the war–ten times the actual number.
–MoveOn.Org. Do you like it when George W. Bush, a wartime American president, is hated more than the Islamic terrorists who perpetrated 9/11? How about when Gen. David Petraeus, leader of the turn-around in Iraq and man who has dedicated his life to the country is called “General Betrayus?”
–Michael Moore. Propagandist film maker, dedicated socialist. Mr. Moore has called Americans the “stupidest people on the planet.” Believes communist Cuba has a better health care system than our own. Given a seat of honor next to Jimmy Carter at the 2004 Democratic convention.
–Jimmy Carter. Worst president of the modern era. Never misses a chance to bash America, especially when traveling abroad. Says Israel is an “apartheid” state. Why? For having the “gall” to defend itself from ongoing Palestinian terror.
–The mainstream media. Already leaning left, already “massaging” any info that accrues to the benefit of conservatives. A Democratic Congressional majority coupled with a Democratic administration might be more than willing to re-visit the “Fairness Doctrine”–tipping the scales even further leftward.
–Hollywood celebrities. A deadly combination of brain-dead, America-hating, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad-loving socialists. Sean Penn? Danny Glover? Barbara Streisand? Susan Sarandon? The list is endless–and gag-inducing.
–Academia. Other than Hollywood celebrities, no one embraces a dimmer view of American values and traditions than the “ivory tower intellectuals” who poison the minds of our youth.
–Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. A resurgence for the two race hustlers whose livelihoods depend on maintaining the black “victim of racist society” myth while shaking down guilty white liberals who head major corporations. With a Dem majority in Congress and an Obama or Clinton administration, bet the farm that “reparations for slavery” hits the front burner.
–Anti-war protesters/appeasers. Despite all evidence to the contrary, there are those who believe Islamic terror is an “exaggerated threat,” and that “nothing is worth fighting for.” 9/11? America’s fault. Atomic Iran? No big deal. Reactive better than proactive? Better an American city under a nuclear halo than continuing the fight against “peace-loving” Muslims abroad. One more domestic attack away from irrelevancy–but who gets to “take one for the team”–first?
–Conspiracy theorists. The Bush administration blew up the World Trade Center, the war in the Middle East is only about oil, Haliburton, et al, controls the world. ‘Nuff said.
–Enviro-whack-jobs. We don’t drill for domestic oil now, despite funding both sides of the terror war. Our economy is already shaky without global warming “mandates.” We’ve already lost incandescent light bulbs. That’s just the tip of liberal-inspired, environmental tsunami which would hamstring our economy for decades.
Supreme Court Justice “X.” Or maybe Justices “X,” “Y,” and “Z,” all of whom believe the Constitution is a “living document” to be “interpreted” as a means of securing “social justice.” Presidents come and go in four or eight years. A Supreme Court appointment is for life.
This is only a partial list. But it ought temper the “hate-McCain,” “stay home on election day,” “my principles or nothing” conservatives who are willing to bite the bullet and let the liberals take over. There are far worse things than a flawed candidate. The empowerment of the above would be a paradigm shift away from virtually everything that has made this country stand above all the rest.
Are conservatives genuinely ready–with spite as their primary motivation, no less–for THAT?
Does the war on terror ring a bell?
A year of Nancy Pelosi hasn’t made a difference and 8 years of Hillary won’t either.
She has not done anything. It is gridlock which is what most people like.
Was Soros the only item on the list?
>It doesn’t matter how we got here really, until the time comes to change the system. <
Amen! I’m a Virginian. I haven’t even gotten a chance to voice my opinion, and now I have the “choice” (spit) to vote for McCain or Goober (well, there’s always Ron Paul) in the primary.
The “system” we have has got to be fixed.
The Dems at least have the illusion of a choice when they vote this Tuesday.
I merely posted the article, but (other than words like “spite” & “petty”) agree with it. McCain was my 5th or 6th choice, but I hate to throw away the SCOTUS for the next few decades, the WOT gains, etc.
I know I don’t either. The only thing that McCain has going for him right now is time. He is seriously lucky that the election is not next week or he would not make it. There is a lot of time left for him to get people on board, but that is up to him to get the work done not for us to just obey the “ruler”. We will have to see how he does in the next eight/nine months.
How about we play the Dim game and just block them all?
then you’e not thinking of the next generation
So, there were powerful forces in the Congress, Senate, and the President who were in favor of this crap,
and who stopped it?
We can do the same with McStain as president, and not have 3 more Ginsbergs on the SCOTUS.
Sorry, you're being far too logical for the bolshevik wing of conservatism! Quit now or they'll start calling you a leftist, just like they now do with people like Tom Coburn, George Allen, and Sam Brownback!
No. Of course not. But McCain trucks with Ted Kennedy, Lindsay Graham, Juan Hernandez and other conspirators in destroying our nation's sovereignty. He also has conspired with those who support, aid and abet the others on that list. So I should support him because he will destroy our country differently and indirectly? Hell... McCain belongs on the list.
And voting in an open boarders liberal that will sink what is left of the Republican party will be better for them how?
Does closing down the detention facility in Guantanamo ring a bell?
Does banning the use of all forms of “torture” (whether they’re really torture or not) ring a bell?
If that’s where Mr. McCain STARTS, there is no telling where he will WIND UP.

With what? The Dems are counting on and will likely get a filibuster proof majority. On the coat tails of Obama or Hillary, the chances would even be more so.
McCain is one of them. He’s in the club with Soros.
I just asked my wife about this and she says that McCain is really mean and W has been too cordial lately. I asked her if that was a good thing and she said YES! So what do I know?
JUST SAY NO - To John McCain PART II (How the left will destroy John McCain..... MUST READ)
ONE reason I might actually vote for the HildaBEAST is that I would rather we lose the WhiteHouse by a HUGE margin, than lose it narrowly.. <— If we all rally behind John McCain we will be PUSHING our party further and further to the LEFT... and that is UNACCEPTABLE IMHO..
That presumes you'll have a country within which free and honest elections can be held to effect a change. If Hillary gets in, I don't think the country will survive in the form we know it.
Why? Just read the things she says she's going to do, and the manner in which she will do it. Pure Alinsky-Marxist socialism.
Even if the country survives in some form, you'll be shut out of power for a generation or more. It won't be 1980 when Reagan came on the scene to challenge Carter. It will be 1932. The 'Pubs didn't regain power until 1952. Meanwhile the country went socialist. We're still paying for that.
Consider this: if it could be shown that Hillary wins by 500,000 votes, and state voting shows that Republicans voted for every office except president . . . and that the presidential vote came up 700,000 votes short for McCain, what do you think conservatives’ power will be then? I think it would be astronomical. It is absolutely essential that we get out and vote for EVERY OTHER OFFICE except McCain, so Hillary doesn’t win a majority of the votes, only a majority of those who vote for president.
