But the difference is the dems could care less about “the children”. We really care about the troops.

I won’t sit the election out. I just won’t vote for McCain.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. As a matter of fact, I think they are enjoying themselves immensely. Whining is so much fun, ya know. But I’m with you. Whiners whine and give up. Strong people make the best of a bad situation and suck it up and move on. Thank God our military doesn’t go sit in the corner and suck their thumb when they lose one battle.

If this is what February is like, just imagine what late October is going to be like, when reality sets in.

I can tell you what is next, it isn’t good. If you listened to Ann answering questions after her CPAC speach, she left the question of how she will vote open to this extent, she could change her mind.

That is all those of us who have been there are asking the over the top don’t confuse me with the other facts, folks who say they will not vote for McCain.

It is a long way to November. No one should have their mind so made up this early. No one.

Well, since the choice is one of three, what do you suggest?

The McCainiac is the least harmful in the military sphere.
Obama may be pro-Islamic, and Hillary absolutely hates the military.

What choice do we have?

We all do our fair share of grumbling about McCain/Feingold and rightfully so. But The Fairness Doctrine if passed will make McCain/Feingold look like a GOP picnic in comparison. The damage to free speech and to conservative talk radio will be unmanageable. Few of those who hold McCain/Feingold against McCain give him credit for championing the death to the bill to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine. But it may not be dead for long - if we put our heads in the sand.

You can bet if the Dems get a Trifecta and hold the Oval office and both houses of congress you can look forward to Rush’s show to be followed by 3-hours of Randy Rhodes

The early primaries were stacked with independents not Republicans thereby knocking out the most conservative candidates. So the process was “engineered” to render a specific outcome.

Republicans should get to vote first and then independents not the other way around. By super Tuesday my candidate was already gone because of this engineering and MSM “selective coverage”.

The RNC is to blame for the SNAFU. Either they wanted this outcome or they are just incredibly stupid.

"Americans chose who they wanted."

Nah..Americans chose the one the MSM was touting.

A whole lotta ignorance out there.

Ever notice how similar the race for POTUS is to a junior-high popularity contest?

The Principal ( in this case the RNC) could have announce over the loudspeaker that "..(squawk..screech..) Now hear this; there will be no more of this funny business of trying to nominate (insert name of local cross-dressing class-room clown) for the highly respected office of class president"

"End of story" .. "that is all"

"We really care about the troops."

Yes, we do.

Including yours truly.

You care in your way, and let me care for them in my way.

First, thank you for your service.

And, second, I never said McCain is ideal on any level. But, given the choices we realistically have, I stand by my opinion that McCain would be a far superior CIC than any Dem candidate and is far more prepared and willing to face global terror...if not perfectly, certainly more agressively.

Godspeed, Sir.

You can disagree with someone’s principles and their stand to support them, but the insidious attempts to shame someone into abandoning their principles is truly the definition of chutzpah.

Please take this message to your comrades who tell people to shut up, call them surrender monkeys and stupid.

Doing so would go a longer way in elevating the level of debate than lecturing me.

Thanks.

When will the Republican elites figure out the simple fact that John McCain has a critical weakness ... an Achilles’ heel. To beat the democrats, John McCain must have the votes of the party’s conservative base. Without the support of dedicated conservatives, leftist John McCain cannot win.

When the Republican establishment is confronted with the cold fact that if the party nominates John McCain, all efforts to win the presidency will be in vain. It will be forced to “broker” the leftist McCain into oblivion where he rightfully belongs. I wouldn’t pi$$ on John McCain if he was on fire, no matter how many names the leftists Republicans, spew at the Conservative base. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Go vote....or stay home. It doesn’t really matter.
In case you haven’t noticed, the dems are turning out to vote for their “new Kennedy” in ratios of 3:1 agains the
pubs.

McCain doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell against Obama.

Not mention 06 when the country was given Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. And by the way, they haven’t gotten a whole lot done because we have a Republican President. Just imagine if they had a Democrat president.
