Bingo. Now, if only the NYTs and McCain could take each other out. Now there would be a twofer for the ages.

Brokered convention anyone...

Oh that’s right, McCain is Mr. Conservative this week. My bad.

[Republic of Texas]

You've got a lot ridin' on that old man. But you forgot-

a vote FOR illegal immigration, a vote FOR government healthcare, a vote FOR larger government and higher taxes, a vote FOR a global warming tax and a vote AGAINST free speech.

[AmericanInTokyo]

We as a Republic survived four years of Carter because of the foolishness of that GOP loser moderate/establishment FORD which primed the way for blind "change", which then begat the winner REAGAN to straighten the whole thing out in retrospect.

We will survive four years of Obama and there will be a total CONSERVATIVE takeover of the GOP, or an entirely new, vibrant and powerful Conservative Party, a major realignment in American politics. The United States of America and Conservatism will weather Obamaism, I am confident. The GOP will have learned its lesson as well. It is a cancer that must be exorcised.

Why do you care if a radical takes over . You don’t live here ! And you are stuck in 2000. The Dem party has been radicalized by the Iraqi war and the fart left is in charge now. Soros and Moveon.org are call the shots now in the Dem party.

Someone in the GOP must have voted for him somewhere along the line?

Uhh... No, not really.

[Darkwolf377]

Of course it is, but the RINO establishment had to teach us a lesson by shoving their man down our throats.

I know this is the popular mantra, but I think the ability of non-Republicans to vote in the primaries is what got him this far.

“this will peel off social conservatives from McShamnesty in the Bible Belt quicker than paint thinner applied to a wall of gang grafitti....”

Sure, if the allegations are true (and let’s stick with what’s being alleged in 99/00, not what he has admitted from thirty years ago).

Welcome n00b who is judging conservatives, and the website.

You might want to get a grip on your posts...THINK before you post, and all that.

I’ve been through some of your postings.
You’re OK in my book. ;o)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes, I am very concerned about a radical taking over. Failed Washington Leftist policies on Immigration (Amnesty), talk radio, guns, PACs, life, political correctness, judges, Appeasement of North Korea, the whole nine yards.

That is why I am not supporting either the Democrat (D) or Republican (D) tickets this year, but instead will be looking for a Conservative to support, or if that fails, will write in a Conservative on the top and then vote Conservative GOP straight on down the ticket.

Next question?

A vote against John McCain is a vote against our troops. [...] A vote against John McCain is a vote for the destruction of America.

A vote for John McCain is a vote for a traitorous bastard, a man without honor. The betrayer will betray again (and again, and again, etc).

A vote for John McCain is a vote for the continuation of the Baker "big (circus) tent" and a continuation of the rise of Globalism in the Republican Party.

I think the media does want to set him off.
I suspect the NY Slime hit was more a
counter attack for Obama since McCain has come out swinging him. Obama could not survive combined Clinton / McCain attack.
I think he can win .He may not win the popular vote but the electoral college
The Dems have moved into the far left territory.
My in-laws are old time Dems and they are scare off by Obama . They know he will take away there Medicare benefits and screw up there Doctors.They plan to vote for McCain if they have to. I think that crowd would put McCain over the top.

[roamer_1]

By the time Osama and his radical wife get done making the US a socialist hell hole then you will be a Conservative without a country !

By the time McCain "legalizes" 30m illegal aliens, the result will be the same, and more likely, because there will be no loyal opposition.

[roamer_1]

au contraire, “my friend”... this will peel off social conservatives from McShamnesty in the Bible Belt quicker than paint thinner applied to a wall of gang grafitti....it will only get worse.

BUMP.

[AmericanInTokyo]

thanks for tearing him (or her) a “new one” lol

[sageb1]

Why? Are you saying the Bible Belters aren’t smart enough to know when the NYT is trying to put one past them?

[RegT]

How do helicopters surrendering the US Embassy in Baghdad sound to you? Saigon, 2009 edition.

[Aria]

Why everyone in the early primaries went for McCain I don’t know. What I do know is we’re screwed.

[roamer_1]

by November I believe some perspective regarding what’s at stake in the Middle East and elsewhere will prevail.

Hope springs eternal, but in this case, to no avail.

[dixiechick2000]

"I think that crowd would put McCain over the top."

I do, too.

I don't have a link right now, but I've read on KOS that there are libs who are planning to vote for McCain.

Apparently, if their "guy" loses the nomination (it works for both parties), they will vote for McCain.

Intriguing, to say the least.

[ncalburt]

Your voting for Obama if you vote for a third party this time around. Its sad to say but these radical Dems don’t plan on giving up power once they get in. Obama is the far left . They have big plans to bring socialism to the US in 4 years!
