John Bolton endorses McCain

The corner at National Review ^

[outofstyle]

There is a permanent ruling class in Washington, split into Democrat and Republican tribes, that just take turns running the country. When out of power, they enter holding patterns in the various think tanks and lobby groups.

That is well expressed, and it rings true.

I think oldbill is right - it’s an elite group in DC. Secrets that we will never be privy to.

That is why I supported Duncan Hunter - I don’t think he would ever be a part of that stuff.

Bolton endorsing McCain? Either he’s in on the ‘secret handshakes’, or he hasn’t done his homework.

[nicmarlo]

Either he’s in on the ‘secret handshakes’, or he hasn’t done his homework.

It's not a matter of doing any homework. Bolton knows exactly what McRino is all about....they're on the same team, after all.

[airborne]

It looks like the word has gone forth.

Consolidate and rally around McCain.Now. The “powers that be” must feel that the Dems will go all the way to a brokered convention, and settling now for McCain dramatically increases our chances of winning in November.

Bolton is a one issue guy. That explains his position.

[Reagan Man]

Hope so.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

hope, McCain may be a pain in the ass and made a big mistake on immigration, but he is a frickin’ patriot who loves this country. We have to defeat Obama in November and the Navy fly boy is going to need the help he can get.

[airborne]

Either he’s in on the ‘secret handshakes’, or he hasn’t done his homework.

Bolton is a one issue voter, IMHO. McCain fills the bill for him, with regards to the WOT.

[KTM rider]

I'd hate to wake up to president Obama's acceptance speech( or Hillary's)

it would be worse than the morning after 9-11

McCain is my choice

[Cicero]

Bolton’s a good man, and he’s returning a favor.

Also, Bolton’s out of a job, and would like a chance to get back to work. Heavens help us, if McCain ever won the election—which is exceedingly unlikely—then at least we’d be better off to have Bolton working for him.

[rintense]

Still won’t vote for him.

[prov1813man]

At this point I think Ronaldus Magnus himself could rise from the grave and give his endorsement to McCain and some here would still insist that the full blown marxist, jihadist endorsed, kill the innocent, free the guilty, dims are the better choice.

come on.

[ovrtaxt]

I hate to predict things on this board. Why? Because they always come true. We are going to end up voting for either a liberal RINO, or a Marxist.

Or a third party conservative.

[nicmarlo]

You can vote for a democrat with an “R” after their name if you choose, but, if I have to vote for a liberal, I’d rather it be an honest one. That way, America can blame the rats rather than someone who falsely claims he’s a conservative Republican for how the country will be ruined.

[ovrtaxt]

Great logic.

[prov1813man]

Or a third party conservative.

Which is, objectively, a vote for the marxist.

[KTM rider]

That is a vote for Obama or Hillary then

[ovrtaxt]

I refuse to reinforce negative behavior. If the GOP insists on putting up a liberal, they deserve to lose. I won’t vote for a liberal.

[KTM rider]

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face is an expression used to describe a needlessly self-destructive overreaction to a problem. "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning not to act out of pique or pursue revenge in such a way as to damage yourself more than the object of your anger."

[nicmarlo]

Have you seen joanie-f's excellent commentary?

Each republican candidate for president in the last six presidential elections (including this one) has been less a ‘republican’ than the one who preceded him. George Bush is less a Constitutional scholar, and reveres the Constitution and the sovereignty of America, less than did his father. George senior was less of a Constitutional scholar, and revered the Constitution and the sovereignty of America, exponentially less than did Ronald Reagan. And John McCain doesn’t know the meaning of reverence for the Constitution, or allegiance to protecting America’s sovereignty.

Each time we genuine conservatives support one of these turncoats, we define-down the republican party........

[southland]

John Bolton is not the only well liked person to come out for McCain.
