I’ve just about had enough of this garbage, this McCain is a Democrat crap. One, because it ignores most of McCain’s conservative record, thus giving him too little credit, but also because it utterly ignores how liberal the Democrats have become, thus giving them too much credit.

Clearly you haven’t noticed, but while you’ve spent the primaries sticking little pins in that John McCain voodoo doll of yours, Hillary Clinton has been marching further and further LEFT to gain the nomination of her party. Obama, meanwhile is so far left he’s practically a recognized UN delegation unto himself.

We’re talking about a party that contains a MAJORITY who believe 911 was an inside job. We’re talking about a party those lunatic wing (the ones who actually control that party because they are the activists) came up with that “betray us add” and who REGULARLY demean and insult our soldiers and compare them to NAZIS.

I wouldn’t trust these people to wash my car and you’re comparing John McCain to them? I think a serious reexamination of your priorities in life are in order. I’d start by spending a few days over at the DU, that way you can really get to know the Democratic party and what it believes.

That America has brought terrorism upon itself, that we have deficits, not because we spend too much, but because of the tax cuts, that American history thus far is a shameful tale of oppression, and that we need to be apologetic to the world. John McCain doesn’t believe these things, but the Democrats do.

You can speculate about President Bush all you want. You can use the silly “hate” argument. It doesn't change the facts that I posted that shows McCain stinks on the environment and U.S. security.

More than interesting. It’s bizarre.

The establishment has chosen their poster boy. This is just a bandwagon endorsement from an out of work ambassador.

I'd say this is a good sign. I'm a BIG fan of Bolton.

I agree with you!

THAT is a huge endorsement. I REALLY like and totally respect John Bolton.

When have I ever claimed that McCain has never been a conservative? Actually, given his present behavior I would consider McCain's past a mark against him, since it shows how far leftward he has come over the last few years, which provides some clue as to how much further left he will go over the next few years.

If McCain has a conservative record after 2001, I'm unaware of it. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to:

  1. Pieces of conservative legislation McCain has written since 2001.
  2. Times since 2001 that McCain has sided with conservatives on issues that were decided within one or two votes.
  3. Any other things McCain has done that actually benefited conservatives; voting the right way on an issue that was decided by more than two votes doesn't count for much, since the outcome would most likely be the same regardless of what McCain did.
Can you share some of McCain's recent conservative record?

As for giving the Democrats too much credit, I would like to see some recent examples of McCain standing up against bad things the Democrats were trying to do.

I don’t care who endorses McCain. The GOP insiders, Rinos and independents disenfranchised us through a rigged primary and I will continue to oppose McCain until the GOP leaders promise to fix the primary system so that it never happens again.

I am waiting for the posts that declare that bolton is a liberal in conservative clothing; that he was speaking like a conservative, but was really a shill for Mccain, and all the other things that some FReepers have been saying about FDT.

You mean like the genuine conservative Senator Sessions has?

"I care too much about the troops to sit back and let the country elect someone who would put them under UN control."

You mean operational control, because the US/NATO have been enforing UN orders for decades. Even then I wonder what happens up at USEUCOM.

I’ve seen those posts. Your post is the best to comment on:

Could it be that the AEI is consolidating a power base over the CFR?

Anyone?

To what, specifically, are you referring?

Great job defending the truth, bud. I hope your piece is read by all. Although, I am sure, some diehards out there will discount everything you wrote and come back with, “Yeah, but what about McCain-Feingold?”

Sessions has led the charge against amnesty, called rats and Republicans in on the plot for the amnesty agreement "masters of the universe",, showed how what they want to do will financially bankrupt this country, and released a list of 20 loopholes in the Senate Immigration Bill. That's just one thing.

There is ONE issue that will keep me from voting against John McCain, and that is terrorism. It's frustrating as hell for me, because I disagree with him on so many issues that make up the foundation of conservative principles.

He has spit in the face on conservatives over the past 7 years regarding taxes, global warming, Donald Rumsfeld, Gitmo, Freedom of Speech, illegal immigration, etc. The fact that his major legislative accomplishments have been partnered with Feingold and Kennedy burns me up inside.

However, even with his leftist ideas on the WOT, such as closing down Gitmo, allowing terrorists to have OJ Simpson-like trials, and punishing terrorists with "time-out" rather than waterboarding, he does realize the fact that we must continue fighting these islamic extremists. He does realize that all hell will break lose in the Middle East if we pull out of Iraq. These are two realizations that his two democratic candidates do not realize, thus putting this country in grave danger if they are elected.

We cannot afford to have Hillary Clinton or B. Hussein Obama control of our military. If we pull out of Iraq, as they have both said they will immediately do when becoming president, there will be a power struggle like none has ever seen before in Iraq. Iran will make a move, thus attempting to establish itself as the hegemon of the area. As a result, we are likely to see the end of the House of Saud, brought down by the Wahhabis, turning Saudi Arabia into Al Qaeda.

Bin Laden and company know that the establishment of the caliphate will only start after the House of Saud falls after it stops its dependence on the United States for economic reasons. If we pull out of Iraq, leaving a guaranteed power-struggle, the House of Saud will be faced with threats from Iran and the Wahhabis. Saudi cannot defend itself from Iran, and surely cannot withstand a threat from the Wahhabis at the same time.

The result? Absolute chaos, with Israel adding to the mix. This will happen if we pull out of Iraq right now. That will happen if Hillary or Obama are elected....unless they are lying right now.

That alone is the reason I will be forced to vote for McCain, who I do not believe is worthy of the office previously occupied by George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan.

The Bolton endorsement does not undo the McCain destruction of our First Amendment right to freedom of political speech.

Nor does it undo McCain-Kennedy--does it bother anyone that the presumed Republican standard bearer joins with the Democrat traitor to destroy the sovereignty and cohesion and rule of law and economic solvency of the Republic.

Especially now that Kennedy has endorsed the Twelfth Imam from Chicago.

Does the Bolton endorsement undo the trillions in global warming fees McCain intends.

McCain has been boosted by the leftist media and by crossover Democrats for the purpose of blocking opposition to the Democrat.

McCain loathes conservatives--to the extent that he will go to court to silence prolife groups.

McCain will join with Democrats to enact the Fairness Doctrine and an internet component which will complement his CFR anticonstitutional suppression of opposition speech.

That's John McCain, an arrogant dangerous friend of the left.

He will be destroyed by the media which raised him to this level without any effort or lack of effort on the part of the Republican Party.

Sorry for the typos. I noticed there are a few.

Leni, I am shocked by this, and I need your analysis before I fly off into a fit.

Bolton, who has bashed W whenever possible lately, is behind McRage. I adored Bolton, now I’m skeered.

What’s going on here?

So you were agreeing with me that if McCain was even remotely conservative, he'd have at least one such thing on his resumée?
