"Strong people make the best of a bad situation and suck it up and move on."

I hold a different opinion of us than you do.

Far from "whining" and "giving up", we are actually doing something.

Each of us in our own way is attempting to make a difference.

Some of us post here in a rather vain attempt to convert our fellow FReepers.

Some of us hand out flyers at parades, malls, and conventions.

We show videos, circulate petitions, loan books, and man booths at fairs, all in the hope of educating our fellow Americans.

Mostly, it falls on deaf ears.

You want to blame someone, blame McCain and the RINOS.

Okay.

But try to understand this: In today's Republican party Conservatives are the "RINOS". If you don't want to roll up your sleeves and engage with more than insults and ultimatums, then it may be time for a third party.

Maybe it's time to choose between destroying the GOP or building something entirely new.

"What choice do we have?"

Now or six months ago?

We had a terrific choice once, but way too many people seem to be getting their "news" from the main stream media, so he was largely ignored.

Now, of course, we no longer have a choice. No real choice.

"In case you haven’t noticed, the dems are turning out to vote for their “new Kennedy” in ratios of 3:1 against the pubs."

That is a fact. A fact I have been aware of for some time, a long time. Dems out number Repubs ... fact of life. Not a reason to give up or quit anything.

Every person will have to decide how they vote.

BTW, McCain said he would stay in Iraq 100 years.

I am not opposed to voting, but I will not vote based on fear of Hillary or Obama. If you chose to let fear cause u to cast your vote, then thats you’re decision.

With McCain, the glass is half full, with Obama its empty.

Yawn. I've irrefutably proven that McCain is no different on Obama on the 4 "key" issues specified. How can anyone make the argument that the glass is any different with either candidate?

Nothing. At least its not insulting. At least you are saying he could change your mind but he would have to work at it. Fair enough.

Well the Republicans in Congress certainly earned our support with yesterday’s performance./sarc

And they still have not figured out why they are in the minority.

I will vote for McCain if he agrees to paint over the latino gang graffitti someone just spray painted on the side of my condo.

Becky, I am game to support any Republician who supports the issues I support.

But I will not cast a vote out of fear. I will cast a vote if the nominee adresses the issues I am concerned about.

So far, McCain has not done so.

After years of being promised they’d fix the problems we see in our country, we see they’ve failed to deliver.

I think the ban on partial birth abortion is a huge accomplishment and so is 2 conservative judges on the supreme court. Tax cuts are another. McCain will make them permanent. We are fixing to throw away all of our hard earned accomplishments.

McCain headquarters to send John a strong message: Remember your base

If you have not noticed, McCain is winning without the conservative vote. He’s picking up the Rockefeller wing, the Jello’s, the moderates & independents and hispanics.

If he is to be president, let the above mentioned groups carry him across the finish line. I will not be apart of it.

“Sometimes you have to destroy it in order to rebuild it.”

You people truly are self-righteous fools.

McCain introduced the bill to prevent the Fairness Doctrine. Why would he oppose it?

Hanging a communist flag with Che Gauvera on it in his campaign office. Refusing to hold his hand over his heart durring the singing of the National Anthem. Spending a large part of his life in a muslim country, his affiliation with a radical black muslim namely Louis Farrakahn, etc.

“I don’t want my children and grandchildren murdered by jihadist thugs and besides I don’t have another 200 years to build it back.”

Then, maybe we should consider closing the border. After all suit case nukes can and maybe have already been transported across our open borders.

Border control should be a part of the war on terror.

It is the people who voted for MCcTRAITOR knowing that voting for him would ruin the chance of winning in the fall, fault.

I will not have a problem with a black man winning the presidency. We will fight his agenda. It will be harder on the RINOs becuase they will have to vote with the dems instead of with their own party.

Never vote MCCNUTS,
