Has anyone thought this far down the road, or just want the party to implode so we can gamble with this silly notion about electing another Carter to get another Reagan?

That the ticket GOP Establishment types scream insults at your party base. That is really going to get them to support your candidate come November!

I strongly suggest McCain supporters might want to quit singing the Cult of Personality song in praise of McCain. People here know his real record. Chanting slogans about how great McCain is isn’t going to sell with Freepers. We know better. We know his political record.

It is also really stupid to be screaming insults at Conservatives or trying to play bogeyman politics by talking about “Well they are worse”. Conservatives vote for things, not just against them.

Neither screaming insults, nor browbeating us, is going to convince any of us to vote for McCain Being spun to believe in a McCain we know has never existed does not convince us to support him, it angers us because we know we are being lied to.

Right now McCain supporters best tactic is to simply talk about what the Democrat candidates are saying on any issue. Their only hope is that the Democrats manage to scare Conservatives more then McCain pisses them off.

I have no doubt most Conservatives will be scared into supporting McCain in Nov by the Democrats. Simply saying “Well they are worse” “or “McCain is really a great Conservative” isn’t going to work. We know better. We know McCain’s real record.

The Democrats themselves are your best chance of changing peoples minds about McCain. Telling us what a great guy he is isn’t going to sell to Feepers. We know his real record on things like Iraq. His real record differs quite a bit from the air brushed one presented by his campaign

Personally, I think all this Mcspam is a waste of time. I think McCain’s record for the last 8 years has so poisoned the well that McCain supporters are wasting their time. However, if McCainiacs are going to keep spamming the board with McCain ads, they might at well at least TRY to be effective, rather then merely annoying.

Actually the best think (and probably Only thing McCain can do) to get conservative support is for Him to grovel at their feet: Which he should Do!

McCain is flawed, but he’s much better than either Hillary or Obama. I won’t hold my nose while I vote for him, but I will hope he keeps an open ear to the more conservative branch of the Republicans.

Remember, both major political parties are coalitions of smaller parties that would be independent parties in a parliamentary system. McCain is simply the leader of the moderate branch of the Republicans. If the conservatives had picked one candidate earlier, either Romney or Huckabee, who had the requisite political skills (which Hunter does not), then McCain would not be the nominee.

Better McCain than Hillary.
