"I am a proud conservative liberal Republican."

2 out of 4.
He’s the nominee, and conservatives who disagree should have united behind one challenger as early as October 2007. It’s too late now!
Combine this one with Sen. Martinez’s pledge to help Democrats get elected in November.
I agree. Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for this joke of a candidate. I’ll vote for McCain, but I’m not liking it.
At least McCain is honest....America is facing some dark times ahead.
I hate to say this but I think Fred Thompson was only in the race to serve as a Blocking Back for McCain.
Mccain is no conservative, never has been , never will be.
jonny do yourself a favor and SHUT UPPPPPP!

"Of COURSE you'll vote Republican, where ELSE are you going to go?"
WTF?
He's the republican nominee, that doesn't have anything to do with conservatives.
Excuse me, but I think the Republican party has left us. IMHO, they think they’ve gotten strong enough so they don’t need us anymore. IMO, they never really liked us but couldn’t win without. Now, they think they can.
Oh, and did I mention I plan to write in Duncan Hunter in November. I'm not a fan of McCain at all. I'll make my little statement and hope the country can survive any of the aspirants -- emphasis intended on the first syllable.
“I am a proud conservative liberal Republican.”
Yeah, well, I’m a disappointed conservative-libertarian.
Isn’t that like saying you’re a proud Mensa retard?
More telling than his conservative liberal comment is his expressed opinion in the same video that 527s need to be outlawed. That’s it Johnny. Show us your constitutional side.
Good grief! How did we end up in this mess?
Oops, that didn’t format correctly.
Second comment is in response to McCain’s quote.
Great idea, third party candidates always win elections.
Nothing like a Freudian slip to reveal what is really in a man’s heart...
In the old days they called it Wet-Brain.
In the end, he says 527s should be outlawed. This guy is whacked out.
HONEST?? If he’s a conservative, I have a bridge to sell. He’s been a liar his entire public life, and probably long before that. Any pro-war liberal who would stand before the cameras and tell the American people “I’m the only true conservative in this race” has some real mental disorder—or is simply a habitual liar, someone who lies so often, that he doesn’t know himself “when” he’s lying! It’s also called “delusional”.
MC QUEEG:
I KNEW THERE WAS ONLY TWO KEYS FOR THE LOCK
WHERE THE STRAWBERRIES WERE KEPT. THEY
COULDN’T PUT ONE OVER ME THIS TIME!
I imagine the people around him have the same feelings, but the gravy train is too tempting to pass up.
I’ll tell ya, Blogger—conservatives were split 5 ways to sundown—or was it 6? Anyway, we had Tancredo, Hunter, Ron Paul (who took some conservative support away fr. Romney and the others), Thompson and Romney. As all but Romney dropped out, the dumb Christian born-agains and evangelicals sided up with Huckabee. A lot of ex-military and current military went with McCain. Thompson’s bowing out helped Romney, but still, the base was split 5-6 ways to sundown. Had conservatives coalesced behind Romney only, he would have won SC and would now be the nominee or close to it.
Remember the phrase “...divided we fall”? Well, conservatives are divided mor than I thought they would be. I don’t think they’ll ever get back together.
Hell, I’m pretty damn sure MCCAIN isn’t going to vote for McCain! Why should I?
I cannot understand how such a seasoned politician can make a silly mistake like this every week.
The only way Mc Cain will see the inside of the White House is to be invited.
He will not be elected President.
He also was a constitutional law professor at Chicago University. The same law school Antonin Scalia graduated from. As a graduate of Harvard Law School I have to believe he knows the Constitution. Whether he'll adhere to it is another matter but at least he might be compelled to give the Constitutional reasoning behind his policies. McCain probably thinks our constitution is what allows him to have a decent bowel movement in the morning.
I think it was Twain who said "it's not what people don't know that make them ignorant it's what they know that ain't so."
A choice of 3 liberals is no choice at all.
NEVER, EVER IN THE LIFETIME OF THIS UNIVERSE WILL I VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!!
HONEST?? If hes a conservative, I have a bridge to sell. Hes been a liar his entire public life, and probably long before that. Any pro-war liberal who would stand before the cameras and tell the American people Im the only true conservative in this race has some real mental disorderor is simply a habitual liar, someone who lies so often, that he doesnt know himself when hes lying!

It’s academic really. There are only a few conservatives left in Washington now. Which really transcends even this election. America hangs in the balance -— a far longer range consequence of voter and citizen apathy, than what stage and color McCain has assumed today -— or that Obama is trying to convince the mindless leftist voters that he is, or is not —— our choices are a mess. Washington is broken and dysfunctional, and we are on the brink of runaway socialism and its destructive consequences.
Not a Freudian slip. This is actually a subliminal message to get liberals to vote for him. Clever.
In my opinion, it's WAY too early to be making that prediction. What happens if any sort of terrorist attack succeeds between now and Nov.? This current situation in Vegas is just getting started.
“All the more reason for Conservatives to leave the GOP and unite by creating their own party.”
That would be incredibly stupid. If such a party ever got off the ground, all it would do is hand the entire government over to the Democrats — permanently.
Think about it this way. Conservatives could not even prevail in the Republican Party (this time around), so how in the world are they going to prevail against both the Democrats *and* Republicans?
Now, if only we could get the radical Leftists to splinter from the Democrats and form their own party! Unfortunately, even *they* are not *that* stupid.
We are looking up at the brink on our way down...we just haven't hit the bottom yet.
Honest to god, I just cant imagine voting for such an idiot. I think I had a dog with more brains.
I'm no longer registered as republican, and it feels good. Its just a meaningless word to me now.
He ain’t making it easy. McCain is an idiot. Yet, we couldn’t gel around any of the other candidates - so here we have it. For my country, I can’t imagine letting Hillary or Obama in. I would rather have McCain than Hillary and would rather have Hillary than Obama. They are 3 pigs in a poke though and it makes me fearful for my country’s future.
HONEST? HONEST???!
The man despises the US Constitution... starting with his baning of POLITICAL speech, support of Gun Bans, support of Globalist taxation, support of Global Warming Pseudo Science...
John McCain is a political opportunist. He is a Washington hack with a really bad case of Casar syndrome. If he becomes POTUS, then Napoleon Bonaparte will likely be eclipsed.
We are up Shiite creek without a paddle.
Excuse me?????
I believe that this the reason the terrorists are not attacking at this time. They do not want to influence a Republican win. They will move their cadre and assets in position but probably not act until about mid ‘09.
Besides, what Mc Cain done to earn his “tough on teror” title? He wants to close Gitmo. He wants to give terrorists the same Constitutional Rights as American Citizens. Everytime it would hurt he stabbed President Bush in the back and undermined him. He slandered the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for telling the truth about John Kerry and praised the Democrat Party.
But regardless of how the election turns out, the leftists and Democrats will win.
They will be a bona fide Democrat and leftist or a bona fide leftist Democrat masquerading as a Republican elected.
People such as myself are screwed either way. I doesn’t matter which robber robs you. You are still robbed.
But as for as John Mc Cain goes, the Republican Party hierarchy ordained him as their nominee. They can elect him.
McCain hates 527s because he is a career politician. These guys love gerrymandered districts where political wins are guaranteed. And they detest term limits and “outsiders” (i.e. 527s) rocking the boat (i.e. telling the stories that the MSM refuses to).
Then the SHeep will vote for Baraq Husayn ibn Mahomet - the only one who can make them FEEL better - in massive herds. That's what Sheep do.
Geez, if this is a flub in his speech, then give me Bush’s awkward speaking any day...
Unfortunately, Romney’s history of flip flopping prevented me from considering him as a credible conservative. And Romney is not a constitutionalist in any sense of the word. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just another big government R.
Three incredibly stupid, and telling, verbal gaffes and one hard smack at the First Amendment right to free political speech, all in one short clip. Joy.
Yup, vote Whig, don’t throw your votes away on those upstart anti-slavery fanatics.
