But those are isolated examples that we wave around like we have big influence in DC. (Miers, Dubai Ports, Amnesty)

But what happened to the budget? What happened to the tax code? What happened to the size of government?

Conservatives have been getting pushed around and ignored since 1988- with a very brief victory in 94.

This is FR, not DU.

Yeah... Where we like Conservatives.

DU is where they like liberals like McCain. Or maybe with your fellow WAnkers. They are getting all hot and bothered for McCain...

Conservatives are discovering their influence and power.

There's no question that we are going to get some things that we don't like. The Democrats are going to get a whole lot that they don't like. McCain is a budget hawk, straight line. He voted against the Farm Bill, the Highway Bill and the Prescription Plan. McCain got the line item veto (with Dan Coats) in '96 (I believe).

Republicanism gone amok.

A pity, truly.

Following your lead and electing Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton is stupidity gone amok.
It is absolutely reprehensible that you would come on to a thread about John McCain’s heroism as a POW to attack the man.

You are not pitiful.
You are contemptible.

A hero is a hero as long as he remains true. If he does not, he is the worst sort of traitor. He betrayed his first wife while she was in a hospital bed. He betrayed his oath of office to protect the Constitution, and He betrayed Conservatism. A betrayer betrays.

So McCain is a “traitor” for not holding identical politicial views to you?
You are a completely derranged individual.

"Articles like that are like the spoonful of sugar I need to make the medicine of voting for McCain go down." Yep...sadly.

Try to remember this article when the Dems put out some really nasty stuff about their buddy McCain. I think he's going to be shocked at what they accuse (rightly or wrongly) him of.

The boy's got some real dirty (no worse that the two commies trying to run against him) baggage that will astound the less informed.

Bad moon rising!

Uggh! I think I parenthesized myself onto incomprehensible.

That isn't what I said.

Me deranged? You are on a conservative forum pumping up a Soros funded candidate who partners with the likes of Kennedy, Clinton, Feingold, and Kerry, and you are calling me deranged.

It seems to me the board is in your own eye.

I do not agree with McCain on a lot of political issues but no doubt he deserves respect for his service.

Sorry, but that fits you much better, pimping for Obama against our Republican nominee.

BWAHAHAHAHA! How do you tell them apart? Oh yeah, I forgot. You like the (R) thingy at the end of McCain's name. THAT's the important part. /not

At least McCain opposes and requests no pork. Hillary has requested several billion$ worth of earmark spending.

I like the NO SURRENDER thingy in McCain’s platform.
I like the tax cuts and spending cuts and pork barrel veto thingy in McCain’s platform.
I like the constructionist judges like John Roberts thingy in McCain’s platform.
I like the free market healthcare reforms thingy in McCain’s platform.
