The liberal Republicans have taken over the party.

Is the only way to shake these simpletons loose is to stand the party on its ear?

Rush, in my opinion, is an establishment Republican, rather like Sean ('You're a great American") Hannity. Elected Republicans closely resemble elected Democrats in that once they're elected they undergo some miraculous transformation into a zombie-like nitwit.

I've noticed that this week especially that Rush has ripped McCain apart.

We desperately needed a candidate and we don't have him.

Don’t expect ANY other logic or discussion about it. The sooner you realize that and disregard the McCain haters, the soon we can go forward.

And, don’t forget how Harriet Miers and the illegal immigration bill were dealt with...Conservative voices WERE heard.

John McCain has voted for the worst judges on the SCOTUS today.  He has reached out to Democrats on every other issue.  And now you think he's a sure bet to nominate judges favorable to Conservatives.  Please tell me what that is based on other than hope.

As for illegal immigrants, John has already said he is going to give them citizenship.  Along with that citizenship will come tens of thousands of legal immigrants through chain migration.  John will be granting citizenship to between 50 and 60 million people before it is over.

You were heard only to the extent that the powers that be didn't want to force any issues before an immenent election.

You watch what takes place after that election.

Thanks for proving my point, the anti-McCain movement is all about one thing...immigration.

Sorry, Bob, but it's also about his support of global warming cap-and-trade, his mushyness about Gitmo, his internationalist leanings, and his lack of repentance for McCain-Feingold (Fred at least acknowledged his mistake in that regard).

Immigration is just where he is the most weaselly. He's back to pushing for shamnesty again.

A Third Party Isn't the Way

Sorry, but Rush is wrong on this. A third party is the only way.

Cthulhu for President!

Why settle for the Lesser Evil?

I believe you would add "Then support the R nominee in the general, no matter what", or some variant thereof. Please correct me if this statement is in error.

R at any cost is not what I am saying or would subscribe to.

If the final candidate on a R ticket doesn't fit you, fine, then vote for someone different. But don't whine, don't put the guilt to the party or to anyone other but the voters. The primary decides the candidates (although some claim not...).

The final candidates don't drop from the sky. They are the result of the voters desire or ,like in the case of McCain, disunity. If we all want a conservative next time, then let's unite and push one.

On a different note, this Presidential election is of highest importance for the fate of our country. This election is not the time for protest actions. If this would be a local or state election, I would share the willingness to "teach a lesson". But not this November. With Barack Hussein Obama we have the true essence of our enemy, not just a political adversary, marching towards power. There is too much at stake. And McCain is NOT a bad candidate. He may be less conservative than any other R Presidet, but he still is an American patriot and someone whose politics on most issues, especially the important foreign policy are largely good and at least a continuation of the current administration. A slightly less conservative 3rd Bush administration is something we can live with. A Obama presidency will be disastrous. Make your choice. Let's vote for McCain this time, because a lot is at stake. But from then on all Conservatives have to throw their support at the best conservative in every instance. Our disunity is our fault.

1. Gang of Fourteen (Kept some of President Bush’s best judges from being presented for a vote)

2. McCain-Fiengold (Assault on Free Speech and Pro-Life groups and Gun-rights groups)

3. McCain-Kennedy (Amnesty for criminal Illegal Aliens)

4. McCain-Lieberman (50 cents a gallon tax)

5. Total support for global warming scam, including carbo cap and trade system.

6. Support for embryonic stem cell research (Murder of unborn babies).

7. Leaked top-secret information concerning CIA prisons in Europe

8. Wants to close Gitmo and give Terrorists access to our legal system.

9. F grade from Gun-Owners of America.

10. C- grade from NRA.

11. 60% score from American Conservative Union in 2006

12. Wants to bail out sub-prime losers (many of which are either illegal aliens or lied on their applications) with US tax money.

13. Voted against President Bush’s tax cuts (called them tax-cuts for the rich)

14. Flirted with the idea of crossing over to the Dems in 2004.

Is this enough "CRAP" for you 2 rino enablers?

But, really, other than this, what's not to like about McCain? /sarc

Actually, the so-called "anti-McCain movement" is all about...disgust with his assaults on the Constitution.

There is also something creepy and weird about John and Cindy. He lies like a sociopath. He has a flat affect and doesn’t know a Shi’ite from a Sunni. While anyone can make a gaffe, his are too many and too serious. His treatment of his first wife and he response to families of POW/MIA provide insight to his character. Not the kind of person I want in the White House.

Oh, horrors! I meant, "Ad Hominem".

Actually, living so near the "D" as I do, it's lucky I didn't spell it "Ad Eminem". Oh, never mind...

“And now you think he’s a sure bet to nominate judges favorable to Conservatives.”

I want fair judges. McCain will appoint better judges than either democrat. I have zero confidence in Obama or Hillary when it comes to judges. Do you think they will do better than JSM?

“John will be granting citizenship to between 50 and 60 million people before it is over.”

And the democrats won’t? You know they will!!

Follow the money. It is conservatives’ best hope to be heard.

If we want to prevent future RINOs, weed them out in the primaries. It's really not that difficult.

You make it sound so easy. For one thing, we have to have conservatives on the ballot in the first place in order to vote for them. For another, we have to face the prospect of a real conservative being defeated by a liberal. Just having a conservative on the ballot is not a gimme.

What is this I am hearing? You will vote for one because you are scared of the other? I’m scared of both. So for me, it is Bob Barr.

You’ll support obama I see..

This is such complete crap, because I will not vote for a rino and want conservatism to regain control of our party, in no way support either of these THREE liberals. You need to face the fact you will support a rino and let the republican party sink into the oblivion of moderation, which NEVER works, because it's not designed too.

I, as a conservative will never again settle for a punkass rino like McCain! He's worse than the other liberal alternatives.
