I'm definitely voting for McCain. It's a no-brainer. What's worse than an Obama presidency? An Obama presidency with a sweeping mandate. We had a primary. We've got a nominee. Sensible republicans will vote for McCain. Sore losers will write in their favorite 1 per center.

What's funny to me is how GWB was somehow not objectionable, even though he supports amnesty as much as McCain, he signed CFR into law, he's a big spender--a purist could easily sit out EVERY election. Why so shocked to have an imperfect candidate? It's all we ever get.

Most of the “I'll never vote for McCaininites” don't care so much for finding the perfect candidate as much as they absolutely love being able to bellow about how cool, smart and conservative they are as they roost on their rumps in November and are either too stupid or too selfish to understand they did their part to elect Obama.

You are so wrong. We were hit by cross over voters and all the split voting with so many RNC runners. You are one of those Freepers that only reads a narrow group of news posted on the FR. The cross over news was printed here during the early start of the primaries. We were hit with their operation chaos first. The outcome was McCain.

Yes, when McCain spoke at Wake Forest in NC, he thought he was in West Virginia and thanked the students and faculty of West Virginia. Interesting how many reports in MSM covered it up.

I recall President Ford's one gaffe that pushed the tide to Carter. Yet McCain keeps making them almost every time he opens his mouth. He said Putin was German, admitted he knows little about the economy, needed Lieberman to whisper answers to him about al Qaeda and Jewish holidays, plagiarized recipes from the Food Network, wants CFR to apply to others but not him, talks to himself, blatantly lies, etc.

Rush has said every day for a month his reason for OC, and it is not about getting either candidate nominated...

...and the dittoheads buy it, hook. line, and sinker...he’s really doing it because it keeps his name in the news...and for his own personal benefit, a Hilary presidency is far juicier than tired old John McCain would ever be for conservative radio...just yesterday rushbo said Obama was the weaker candidate, and would lose worse than McGovern (a ridiculous statement BTW)...does it take a PhD to see he should then throw all his support to the messiah, by reason of the imputed trouncing...he did not, and continues not to do so, showing even rush doesn’t believe what rush is saying...

I said - “No matter who “wins” in November, the Democrats will be in firm control of both houses and the White House”

You said - “Don’t count on it!”

Now, given who are the likely two candidates that will be facing off, no matter who wins the Dems will be in control of the House, the Senate and the White House. Unless you, like me are voting for a third party and maybe you are a little bit overly optimistic of you chances....I don’t see how I am wrong here.

It’s better to have Republicans legally crossover vote than vote the dead as the Dems usually do to pick a candidate.

“People have been voting across the aisle during primaries for years. Why are they acting like it is a “New” thing?”

Dims have anyway and DU types always bragged about it, but the lsm never complained - oh, my no, somehow they just never did.

"I wasn’t aware Rush preferred Rudy early on."

I don't believe that he did. I think the writer deduces this because some, like Hannity, were so openly drooling over Rudy as the potential Republican nominee, and being a liberal, he thinks that all conservative talkers work in lock-step getting their marching orders from the RNC each morning.

"That is a lie. John McCain was chosen by Republican voters and is supported by Republican leaders. Spreading lies like that only makes the Democrats happy."

Have you bothered to look at any of the election data from the early primaries where crossover voting was permitted? I didn't think so.

"...then why didn't they all get together and form another party? Surely, if your side has so many people that would have been easy to do. It hasn't because you are lying about your numbers and you know it."

I think you McCainiacs or paid McCain supporters will discover, post November, just how many conservatives no longer will be frightened into voting for a terrible candidate (because the Democrats are worse,) holding their collective noses as McCain's mother has suggested that we do.

Why would we want to start another party? All we have to do is pick up pieces of what remains of the Republican party from the RINOs and liberals like you once McCain has lost and taken the party to its biggest defeat in years.

“Bluntly, my only interest in 2008 is preventing too big a loss in the down-ticket races.”

Second that.

We decided to turn the party over to RINO dimwits for this cycle.

“didnt (Rush) support nafta as well ?”]

He did indeed. And he was complimented for doing so by VP Al Gore.

Regardless of what Jurek thinks of Rush, it is pathetic, racist, and un-American for 92+% of the black North Carolinians to vote for Brack O’Bam simply because he is black. Ask any of those idiots in NC, who voted for him, what Brack’s major life accomplishment was and they will draw a blank.
