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?
Yada yada yada. I won’t be doing any such thing. I voted for a conservative in the primary, I’ll find a conservative to vote for in the general, and I’ll be damned if I’ll apologize for it or complain about doing it.
I’m not a Republican. I’m a conservative. I left the democrat party in ‘94 because I realized they were way to liberal for me. I didn’t leave that party just to be bullied into voting for your liberals.
I have a son in Iraq. I’ll be voting, you can be sure. And it will NOT be for McCain.
I know what you mean. It will be interesting to see who all pimps for McCain, radio, TV and politicians.
At least it will be a quick way to separate the "wheat from the chaff"!
Don't forget to mention the 20,000,000+ forevermore-'Rat-voting illegals we'll all get merrily rammed down our gullets in Year One of any theoretical Juan McShamnesty presidency. They should count for something too, by golly!
Oh... oh, dear. Did that spoil the narrative, just now?
Oopsie.
The Republican’s don’t understand that the “fear factor” won’t play with conservatives this election. They’ll have to try some other form of coersion to force us to vote for McCain. Best of luck.

McCain/Soros by Rabbi Areyh Spero
Soros' "Reform" (an article about Soros‘ instrumental hand in McCain/Feingold)
So who gave Soros influence? Or should I say "sold?"
Here’s my best Oprah impersonation: “If you can perceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it!”
How’s that? ;)
Actually, it’s too early to quit. It’s always too early to quit! :)
I’ll add that for future Obama-Lama-Ding-Dong posts. Thank you! :)
He might stroke out prior to November. He might drop out due to some manufactured scandal by The She Devil. Any number of things can happen, but I will NOT vote for a ‘Rat, and my not voting with my party is only going to quicken the death of America.
As a Vet, I can’t do that. Sorry. Do what you will. I’ll sleep peacefully. :)
When appointing SC justices? That's my main concern.
My liberals? McCain was either my 5th or 6th choice...in 2000, I supported the "liberal" Alan Keyes before voting for W...don't make assumptions that you can't back up with fact...
You’re pushing him now tho aren’t you.
IIRC, the President doesn't appoint justices, he nominates them, with the advice and consent of the Senate. What kind of justices do you think McCain will nominate? He'll "reach out" to the Democrats to find "consensus" candidates, folks that the Senate Judiciary Committee would find acceptable. Oh, and of course, they'd have to pass a "Global Warming/Kyoto Protocol" litmus test. Who would be on McCain's short list? Hmmmm. I can think of a few!
I personally don't care what you do, but as long as you keep writing to me, I'll reply...If you want to keep this up indefinitely, bring it on...
Two things surprise me. One, that no one has replied to this unacceptable "suggestion." The other is that anyone would have the temerity to volunteer my family and me the PRIVILEGE of being "allowed to suffer"!
Forum rules prevent me from saying what I am thinking right now. So, what I WILL say is: HELL NO! You do not have the right to offer anyone else but you up for wholesale suffering.
My God. This is NOT the FreeRepublic I had come to love and respect.
Oh and by the way. How is that pro-life?
Thank you. McCain was about 7th out of 8 on my list (Ron Paul was last). But I will never allow the Clintons back in the White House, and I will never allow the most leftist senator in the White House either.
If you aren't part of the solution, you are a big part of the problem and I personally don't want to hear a peep out of you.
Amen.
Can we have your guarantee? Not they'll overreach - I know they will. I mean, can you guarantee it won't be a generation?
If not, I intend to fight to keep the Dems, er, MARXIST LEFT DEMOCRAT PARTY, out of the White House. They have no place there, and I personally will do everything I can to keep that from happening.
Speaking only for myself, I am invigorated enough and do not need the barbarians IN the gates to wake up, thank you very much.
