A contract I wish John McCain would sign

So the fact that he votes with Hillary and Teddy and Obama makes you think he’d be a better choice than Hillary and Obama ?

That’s some kind of disconnect.

[grellis]

ASININE. You're giving President Bush a pass for being a drunk, and holding BO up as a pariah because of past drug use, based on percentages??? There are a heck of a lot of reasons NOT to vote for BO, and you are citing the stupidest of 'em all.

And I love that tired ol' line, "I was a freeper with a different name..." Et tu, Ash?

Last post under my other name was 10/17/2007 when some person tracked it down over the internet, got my eamil and gave it to those friends of yours over at DU.

I can't believe you wrote that .... crap. You think the US Senate is the only place nasty sharks swim? So, if he's surrounded by nasty sharks as POTUS... like, hmmmm ~~scratching head~~ who could be worse out there in this big ole world, then he repells by selling out and that's okay? I think not. Soften anger? It's a principled reasoned stance.

AND... besides, I don't want Budweiser Barbie for First Lady.

I wonder if Juan Hernandez is there with him in Laredo?

[grellis]

And what was your sign-up date then? 10/15/07? Whatever, noob.

From Muth's essay...But when President Bush declared that John McCain was a "true conservative" this week - which was kinda like Joan Crawford declaring that Britney Spears was a good mom...

Similes such as this are truly priceless!

My only issue with the above contract is that the drafters really should find a way to give McCain a graceful path to comply with the last item.

Something like, "revise McCain-Feingold..." might work.

It would take a lot of convincing, and I’m not sure McCain can win me over because I would want more than words...which at this point in the campaign is all he can offer.

Words are cheap, and nine months of the finest words will never make up for twenty-four years of betrayal. The military is very important to me, but only because I first hold integrity, decency, patriotism and truth in high esteem. A vote for John McCain, a reward to an arrogant, narcissist a***ole, would be a betrayal of all those things.

McQueeg can pound sand. Let him troll for votes from his good buddies in the Senate Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedy, Mrs. Lindsey Graham and Barbara Boxer.

I agree with you 100%. I respect those who have decided to vote for McCain, but I just don't think I can bring myself to vote for someone who thinks so poorly of me (as a conservative, not an individual). I've not ever been a big McCain fan, and after the 2000 whining session post South Carolina, I really began to dislike him.

[TigersEye]

Nevertheless, conservative realists recognize that despite all the chinks in the right side of his armor, John McCain still is far more conservative than either Hillary or B.O.

I don't see that. He is only slightly more conservative than either of those hard core Marxists. Anyone who would seriously look into forming a third party to unseat a Republican President after his first term in a time of war isn't conservative and doesn't give a flying moonbat's ass about the military or the WOT.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. I don’t think we have a choice. Our freedom is too precious to be thrown away by a bunch of people who don’t care about our troops or our countrymen. They only look for their agenda.

[ARE SOLE]

Hey Grellis, I already got on him on his nubeness. I don’t like nubes going off either. Do me a favor Freeper and check out post # 62.

"We have the advantage."

If you crave Pyrrhic victories then go ahead and vote for John McCain. He won't win anyhow.

We get nothing by voting for this fellow.

McCain's base is a bunch of liberals and democrats who felt a bit frisky and safe by voting for him in a Republican primary.

Those voters will not be there for McCain in November, and neither will true Republican conservative voters. McCains base is/are democrat voters.

It is over.

[NavVet]

If you really wanted the GOP to win in November, which I don’t, you would be better off voting for Hillary in Wisconsin.

This fight between the moderates and the conservatives in the Republican Party has gone on as long as I can remember. I know, it was going on during the Gerald Ford campaign. Look who we got when Gerald Ford failed to get elected.

I have faith that enough conservatives in the Republican Party will unite and elect McCain. I happened with Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr. and GW.

[goldstategop]

He won't do it. I'd love to see him support a party and its base he's scorned for so long. Can any one name one real conservative in the candidate's inner circle who influences the candidate's thinking and policy choices? In fact, McCain has a La Raza-Mechista Open Borders staffer as his immigration issues director. I can't vote for a candidate who won't secure our borders, an issue I consider even more important to the country's future than the War On Terror.

And post #83. Yeah, I spend all my time at DU...

I don't even care if s/he has been on this forum since '97. Trashing BO because of past drug use is stupid. I can think of a very well known, much admired conservative who admitted, not so long ago, that he was addicted to illegally obtained prescription drugs. I can think of another who has a serious gambling problem, and several who have difficulty maintaining fidelity within their marriages--and those are all recent. Bringing up somebody's drug use from decades ago is stupid, and it makes us all look bad. Noob move.

Heck, I did all kinds of drugs in my teens. Maybe I am a dem!

[devistate one four]

I can’t vote for the hill. I don’t want the repubs either. so I refuse to stay home and brood over this mess and I might throw a wrench in the mix this way. However, I still haven’t looked a independent candidate yet.. we’ll see. take Care
