The New “A List” –If Conservatives Stay Home

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?

And if I hold my nose and vote for McCain, who are the “Republican” candidates that are put up because they’re “electable” in 2012? Lieberman and Bloomberg?

[Camel Joe]

So if I don’t vote RINO I’ll be peeing on the graves of our defenders? Now I will NEVER vote for that POC McCain, great work genius insulting the people you need.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I feel your pain. I have Feingold, Kohl and Baldwin as my Senators. I have a ‘Rat Governor, Lt. Governor, etc.

The only true R’s in my state are a few Assembly members and our waffling AG.

However, I DO blame those that went before me and got us into this mess through their apathy. This USED to be a very Conservative state, and while most of it still is, the large metro areas are completely controlled by the socialists, which translates to votes when needed.

I’ve been fighting The Good Fight since I was 18, and I can’t do it ALL by myself. ;)

See comment #37...

[mike-zed]

Amen.

I’m not buying the POS that the left wing of the Republican party nominated.

[Camel Joe]

How bout “if thine eye offend thee then pluck it out”.

[pookie18]

What about the rest of the list...

[normy]

Its not trying to frighten you, its trying to appeal to your common sense. The truth is frightening.

[freespirited]

If you believe the RNC rather than the voters nominated McCain, it would help if you explained how.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...it’s kinda like putting your finger in the dyke, but it’s better than abdication and defeat.”

Well said.

Reminds me of Gen. Chesty Puller, “We’re surrounded...That simplifies our problem.” ;)

I’m more concerned that we keep SCOTUS balanced, if not totally in our favor. The left has used SCOTUS to screw us over and mess with our Constitution time and again. I think our other problems can take care of themselves if we safeguard SCOTUS.

And since I’m dreaming, I’d like the House and Senate firmly back under (R) control too, LOL!

[Digital Sniper]

No mention of George Soros funding of McCain’s PAC run by Juan Hernandez

...or that Juan Hernandez is a La Raza drone; and McCain listens to him more than he ever will any conservative, anti-illegal American.

I'm tired of voting with two hands (one on the lever and one holding my nose). Year after year I've done that because people have told me it's better than the alternative. Well, that hasn't worked.

By voting for these people, I believe the Republican Party actually thinks I like them! They must -- they keep giving me more of the same!

The Republican Party says, "Well, that's what the primary process gave us." Yeah. Demonstrating how broke our primary process is. START WITH THE CONSERVATIVE STATES, idiots! Limit the primary voting to only Republicans!

[Hazcat]

And if I hold my nose and vote for McCain, who are the “Republican” candidates that are put up because they’re “electable” in 2012? Lieberman and Bloomberg?

HEY! it doen't matter what you think!

If you don't vote for the R then he might not win and that's what it's all about, winning. Not principles or trying to shape the party. WIN WIN WIN at any cost!

We would rather die the death of a thousand cuts than stand up. So just STFU and vote like a good little sheep!

[servantboy777]

>>I will vote for McCain just to prevent Hillobama”

What happened after the monumental disaster of Jimmy Carter’s presidency?

RONALD REAGAN........swept the country in a landslide win to become president!

McCain will not get my vote.....at all....ever.

Do you not remember who he allied with to shove the amnesty bill down our throats? Ted Kennedy.

McCain is a power hungry opportunist elite that cares nothing about you or I.

If we keep fishin from the same ol pond....were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.

So go on, vote for the lesser of two evils if ya like....as for me, I pray a conservative independent will step up to the plate.

[Camel Joe]

Actually the party brass brought about the early selection process in order to annoint NcQueeg, so really yes they did s(elect) him. Now go along without us and have fun with your boy.

[Vor Lady]

LOL! Love your kool-aid slogan!

It mystifies me why no one else sees this.

[Camel Joe]

We hit much more than that, record numbers of Conservatives are changing from (R) to (C) and the GOP is scared.

[bilhosty]

I support McCain but will not vote for him. I live in georgia which will not be competitive. If it were competetive I would vote for him. I hope freepers in swing states do vote for him and let us do the protests. Maybe he can earn our support but surrendering to Mexico is not an option.

[Travis McGee]

It’s a sad state of affairs, that’s for sure, when we arrive at a choice between 3 open borders traitors.
