Hey, I'm not worried, we just sent in our best 1st Amendment ignoring, open borders punter.

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?
I'm betting not.
A year of Nancy Pelosi hasn't made a difference and 8 years of Hillary won't either.
I could say the same to you.
Voting for McCain is only supporting the 'problem' in my opinion so if he wins and the country goes to hades (as it will) then I expect you to STFU because you created it.
Pookie18,
I normally am on your side, but not this time. We will just have to agree to disagree.
Sincerely,
NAPS
I can't believe that you actually believe this!
One would think that the example of Weimar Germany, indeed, the example of Europe generally in the inter-war era, would be enough to disabuse anyone of this notion.
Now I understand why your lot are being called "suicide" voters.
Choose life!
You mean Charles “One time 50% tax on all retirement savings” Rangel?
We're rapidly devolving into a third world country - so maybe there's not that much to win.
At least I will go down swinging, as opposed to you sitting in your corner, thumb in your mouth, whimpering.
Is that the same one as the pro-life, WOT-prosecuting, big gov't-spending fighting, troop-loving punter?
I figure most or all of this will happen WITH a McCain presidency.
And, the Republican Party will be further degraded as a vehicle for actual conservatism for years to come, as well.
Now I ask, which name on the dolt's list hasn't enjoyed all manner of exposure *and* influence over the past 8 years, as it is?
I mean it'd be damned difficult seeing any more of those morons.
Unbelievable, pathetic, desperate *and* sickeningly predictable.
Hey fear's worked GREAT past decade selling soap to politics, unfortunately for the shills who dreamt this tack up the Liberal-Socialist-Communists have been using the shtick for decades. Hardly *original*.
Be that as it may never in a million years would I have guessed the party of "logic" would mimic the leftist scumbags; never-mind, attempting to use it against their own. Chutzpah too hits an all new low with this ploy.
Poor desperate shameless cake eating imbeciles, devoid of any semblance of principle, character, are right now redefining cannibalism!!
Apparently unbeknownst to Koolaid slurping idiots a softer, gentler cannibalism remains cannibalism, nonetheless. A classic textbook case of putting lipstick on the pig would be awfully hard to find.
HA!
I've a *message* for the establishment GOP brain-bugs responsible for the self inflicted & quite possibly life threatening wound we're now having to deal with, as well as the imps, harpies & trolls suddenly popping-up to push the nuttiest of poseurs ever upon the party faithful.
... (_X_)
Ya know, we stopped McStain & Co. from passing amnesty, even though YOU KNOW W WOULD HAVE SIGNED IT.
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.
Yep. Same guy ;o)
I guess that depends on how long your timeline is, doesn't it?
The worse the rot, the more extreme the measures required and the longer it takes to cure it.
Either way, we're definitely screwed in the short-term (10-20 years).
Tell it to the Marines!
(You may get a different response)
But it is not just SCOTUS, the next President will be appointing 200+ Federal Judges. I would of much rather have Fred, Mitt, Tancredo or heck even Rudy “gasp” make those appointments than McCain, but still if its between giving that job to Hillary, Obama, or McCain I would much rather have McCain do it.
How is not voting for an unfit cindidate sitting in the corner wimpering?
I will go and vote. I will support CONSERVATIVE cadidates.
So please, explain to me how that is not 'swinging'?
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there another thread about McCain getting money from Soros as well? If so, sounds like he has influence with the GOP too. I’m doing as the Founders intended and voting my conscience and convictions. That means no vote for the Dems and the GOP.
Regardless of party, I’ll vote for a conservative or libertarian candidate. I will NOT vote for a liberal, so McCain will have to do without my vote. I’m also looking over my local races to see who’s the most conservative candidate running.
