Good point, and Conservatives IMO need some encouragement, so even small victories will be welcome.
That is what I have been doing. While McCain isn’t my 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd choice for president, the alternative is SO unacceptable as to make me hold my nose and vote for him.
I see you decided to smoke out the whiny thumb suckers, eh? I hope you have your asbestos jock strap on! :-)
No one has ranted about McCain more than I have over the last few years. He has not covered himself with glory with CFR, Gang of 14, etc.
But he is the nominee. Many times over the last few years I have told anti-Bush people here that you don’t always get perfect and you have to stick with the party leader. Well, it’s time for me to live by what I preached.
I will vote for McCain with as much enthusiasm as I can muster. I will donate to the RNC. And I will vocally support Senator McCain.
Why? Because I keep picturing Hillary or Obama strutting along reviewing the troops. That is unacceptable.
We are at war. The troops deserve to have someone who will fight rather than surrender. The troops deserve someone who will not send them as pizza delivery guys to every third world nation. And the American people deserve someone who wants to KILL terrorists rather than talking to them.
It is Supremely ironic that we have McCain as the nominee. Perhaps this is God’s way of testing our patience and love of country. After all, should we cause an abandonment of the war and the Iraqis, a retreat with loss of American prestige, and a complete waste of all that has been accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan, just so we can teach the RNC a lesson? I don’t think so.
And as sure as I am sitting here, come next November Donald Rumsfeld will vote for McCain, and so will Bush and Cheney. THAT is how responsible people face an election like this.
pretty good summation of the vote in November, I thought.
Brzezinski is as much a foreign policy fool as Jimmy Carter ever was. So if Obama wins all the marbles, this guy will have Obama's ear? There's the real Grima Wormtongue if there ever was one.
We'll be talking to and kissing the a$$ of every tin-pot dictator on the planet.
I'll crawl a mile over broken glass to prevent that from happening. No Carter Redux.
Just how for to the left does someone have to be for the magic “R” to not work for you?
Remember this November that little saying about good people doing nothing in order for evil to triumph.
What a despicable post! So "Libertarian"!
Drink RINO arsenic Koolaid! It'll kill ya slower than 'Rat cyanide Koolaid!"
Thanks, but I'm going to pass this time.
Excellent posts.
See post # 226. Just what you axed for.
In this case, the “R” word is not even applicable, our choice is pretty clear, Barack will Cut and Run out of Iraq, McCain will not, Barack is already trying to hang “We could be in Iraq for 100 yrs” around Mad John’s neck.
Do we want to win in Iraq, or do should it just be given up on?
TP, the conservative anti-patriot.
Is there anyone on this forum that thinks that Hillary! will turn over the reins of government after the end of her term(s)? Let her in now and we'll never be rid of either of them. And I just can't imagine how bad an Obama presidency would be. I fear for our republic.
Si se puede!
Well, Travis, that is kinda like watching my ex-Mother-In-Law drive over the cliff in my new Hummer. Mixed emotions.
You see, since you are sitting this one out, we won't have to listen to your constant whining and complaining for a whole four years! You don't vote, you don't bitch. Enjoy your silence...I will!
Good luck. You have a tough job.
The thing is we can still gripe about McCain and work to defeat Hillary or Obama. They are not mutually exclusive.
