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

That is absolutely true. I am not anxious to have a liberal Democrat President McCain(R).

The next four years are going to be a rough ride. The last thing we need is for the Republicans to take the blame for the damage the Democrats cause. McCain won't stop them, he will enable them.

This guy is whacked. It is called ‘strategic voting’. Been going on for years. Dems have been doing it forever. Dems gave us McCain for God’s sake. It’s just news because republicans are doing it, and Rush is urging people to do it (and it’s working).

This column is some very hilarious twaddle from a hand-wringing Euro-socialist!
Martin sounds like he wants to take a limo ride with this scumbag Obama.

He supported Romney right before he dropped out. He attempted to sabotage John McCain's nomination.

Sorry to see you have joined the ranks of anti-Republican extremists who will attempt to get Obama elected. Luckily, the Republican Party no longer relies on people like you and will win with new voters.

Rush supported Romney. Romney has endorsed McCain. Why can’t Dittoheads do the same?

Antonio, conservatives and America have already lost this election. At this point, every possible outcome produces really bad results. Maybe McCain is a little less bad than HRC or Obama or maybe not--there are good arguments both ways.

Anyone who wonders why conservatives aren't enthusiastically jumping on the McCain bandwagon is probably not a conservative, but a Republican.

Bluntly, my only interest in 2008 is preventing too big a loss in the down-ticket races. HRC gives us a better shot at that than Obama. If we can't get HRC, then having HRC draw blood from Obama is the next best result in that regard.

“He attempted to sabotage John McCain’s nomination.”

Nothing wrong with that.

There is something compelling about Mr Obama’s cerebral cool,
*******
Oh please!

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
These pips really worship him like a black messiah.

Joined? Joined? Hell, upsdriver is as dyed-in-the-wool, rock-ribbed Reaganite Conservative as they come. A Gen-u-ine card carrying member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy if there ever was one.

Luckily, the Republican Party no longer relies on people like you and will win with new voters.

Just keep clickin' those heels there, Dorothy.

I thought that us what you were refering to. I don't consider an eleventh hour panic attack an endorsement.

Who in the world wants Obama to win? We want a conservative president. The only ones attempting to elect Obama are those in the Republican party establishment who have turned a deaf ear to the base. I am aware that the New Republican party doesn't want me. I can't help that. As Billy Joel sang, "We didn't start the fire".

If I was to go along with the New Republicans with the way the feel about me, I would be no better than the blacks who vote Democrat every election.

I agree with you - McCain is fraying.

He was on with Jon Stewart, and he wasn’t doing much better than doddering, being given grudging audience respect as an old grandpa.

You said he forgot where he was today?

“Total yawn! I could care less what he thinks.”

So you actually care in the first place? Why?

“The only preferance Rush had, that I am aware of, was prior to the ‘06 elections, he said he liked Sen. George Allen. That one didn’t work out too well.”

When Rush endorses, he may as well paint a red target on the person’s back. That is why he now refrains from it. “It would ruin his candidacy” he jokes about McCain. But he is right — it would ruin it.

“That is a lie. John McCain was chosen by Republican voters and is supported by Republican leaders.”

Oh, yes. Supported by Republican leaders. But John McCain loses to Romney over and over against actual Republicans. Independents and libes carried John McCain on their shoulders.

“He’s certainly not a liberal, but after backing Bush all these years and after years of refusing to slamm Bush for his Amnesty efforts”

Are you sure you’re talking about Rush Limbaugh here?

That always gets me that anyone would would be stupid enough to believe that one morning the South Carolina GOP woke up in love with McCain. At our Republican primary I saw planty of the Matlock crowd voting. People I've never seen before. I know I would recognize some of them if I were a Democrat.
