Thanks for admitting it. Game. Set. Match.
I'm just hoping the American public is smarter than that. Ohhhh, here goes.........but that is shaky.
So Obama liar is arranging for women to faint at his rallies????
And I thought Hillary was the best faker.
Hillbaby, you have competition!
(Kudos to Drudge for drudging up this nifty little factoid).
We are in deep yogurt if this shyster takes office.
Of course, same is true if Hitlery the Tyrant takes office.
They are both nightmares for America.
Time for heavy determined believing PRAYER.
OMG...LOL! This is my rock n roll love letter.....to youuuuuuuuuu.....
As for the rest, it's funny. I pretty much think just the opposite. I think that it's amazing so many conservatives act as if this is the first time they've had an unpleasant choice to make. In my lifetime, I've never voted for a presidential candidate that I truly liked, admired, or agreed with on a whole lot. I do the best I can in the primaries, and in the general, I choose the best of the two. It's usually a pretty easy choice, and this year is no exception.
My thinking is that whatever problems we have within our party, those are issues to be dealt with at a certain time or place. It's not John McCain's fault that we conservatives failed to field a single candidate that had money, talent, motivation, and skill. That's OUR fault. What kind of movement are we if we are completely void of able leadership? We can't blame the GOP. They are a party. A vessel. An opporunity. An apparatus. But WE are the movement. WE failed. And we'll have our chance to address that.
In the meantime, the election will take place, we will have a choice to make. Not as conservatives or Republicans, but as Americans. One of the two candidates WILL be president, and one, no matter how much we dislike him, WILL be the better choice. I am able to suck it up and make the good choice, because I do that EVERY election.
You must be used to voting for your favorite son every time. I've never had that experience, nor do I expect it. I do my duty.
What did I know...I was 14....and they had accents....HAHAHA!
“I’m in the liberarian wing of the conservative cause.”
File your posts by the dewey decimal system do ya?
Melodrama went out with the Drunkard didn’t it?
Toughness and rolling over for policies 180 degrees out of phase with one's principles are not anywhere near the same thing. You claim it is 'our' fault that McCain is the nominee - but consider that many of us had no choice in the matter. In Kansas, the caucus was after the super Tuesday anointing. No choice.
You and I also differ over whether McCain is the "obvious better choice" this November. I'm not speaking of supporting either potential dem, but rather speaking out against the liberalization of the republican party.
With the method you are choosing, the only choice one has if one wishes to remain true to one's principles is to leave the party. Because to vote for a candidate is to endorse his record. McCain's record is anti-conservative.
Voting against the dem for a more conservative moderate repub candidate the last eight years has brought us to a three trillion dollar budget, to sweeping social entitlement programs, etc. McCain has shown in his record that he wants to go much, much further than that, just the same as he has shown absolute contempt for the US Constitution (with both McCain-Feingold and his gang of 14 antics).
You appear to be choosing party over principle, and then deciding to try to sling mud on those who can no longer do so. It's ineffective, except to illustrate the weakness of your arguments.
lol...this seems like a good one even though I'm not sure I get it. Are you saying I'm a geek or something? I'm just saying, I am willing and able to accept political realities and do business with allies to get what can be gotten today. That's what Reagan said, "Get what you can now, come back for the rest later." And usually libertarians are sticks in the mud, 3rd party naysayers, 1%ers. I do business. I play ball. Therefore I don't accept any whining from conservatives about a candidate they don't like. Join the club.
Pissant and I were on the same sides of the fence, Thompson/Duncan.
You are however are where? on FR?
Get a life.
Well, you more or less proved my point. You won’t acknowledge the history of the non-conservative choices the party has foisted on us conservatives for the past 20 years. You don’t recall that conservatives have, time and again, swallowed hard and voted for the party nominee regardless. (the anomalous elections of ‘92 and ‘96 notwithstanding)
And you apparently do not see that it’s the party that has intentionally front loaded the primaries/caucuses as I described in my reply that you didn’t read, so that a conservative candidate will never have a chance of becoming the nominee.
So you agree with my statement and disagree with me, meaning you’d rather hurt conservatism than help a dem. Nice.
Tell OrbusMax his Caps Lock key is stuck.
Paul will give us Hillary like Perot gave us her husband! Great choice! ;o)
My, but aren't you pissy today.
So who is your choice? I was unaware there were any.
I thought he was a Congressman.
Does he still have a baby-catching practice going on the side?
Hmmmm. . .
Slamming people who don’t like McCain because they aren’t bigots and don’t like being called bigots won’t get you squat.
But then, maybe YOU are a bigot so you are OK with that.
