I’m amazed by how many people needed Sarah Palin to see the light as to how big a disaster allowing Obama to win would be for America.
I forgot all about that: I don’t have to hold my nose anymore!
Whatever works!
Welcome them home!
We need every swingin’, ahem, weewee in the field. So to speak. PG version there.
Obama will get us nuked. The guy is that clueless and incredibly dangerous. Sends a chill down my spine that so many Americans are spellbound by this guy.
We all gotta get in the game this time, and make it a decisive LOSS for him.
None of this one state scraping by with a bare minimal victory stuff.
Imagine what would happen? No Obama, no peace!
No thanks.
Lets kick his ass good!
Palin would be the McCain to McCain—if he went too far left, she would have no problem announcing this to all, even resigning her vice presidency so she could run against him should he seek re-election as a Democrat-Lite in 2012.
Palin represents freedom we haven’t seen for a long time.
No he won't. Seriously, that scenario is not going to happen.
He will negotiate with the terrorists or whoever, and allow them to peacefully migrate en masse into our cities, where thousands of "community organizers" would incorporate them into our new Sharia-law-bound communities. And he would be praised for "making peace".
You have made your choice. In all fairness, did you not hate McCain's political positions as a moderate/centrist (and liberal at times) rather than hate Mr McCain the man?
I just had a few questions outside of that. THESE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA, but stand on their own strength intrinsically with and about HIM. I ask them in all civil sincerity.
You objected to him as I see it because of his liberal voting record and antics, it seems.
Did he change or did you?
Do you think he will go RINO if President, or will he "conservatize".
Any percentage chances on that, either way? And, most importantly, if he does go RINO on us, what should we as Conservatives do next?. Should we oppose him, or support him as our President?
Let us think long term also, I am talking six months out now. As you have thought these through now, I would imagine you have conclusions and strategies on these. Please share, Mr. Hoven, if at all you are reading this..
I’m in.
I just pray she can slap some sense into him regarding global warming, immigration and the great biofuel scam.
McCain wanted Lieberman, but when that polled in the toilet, he realized the only way to solidify his base was to pick a hardcore conservative.
Even McCain has to be shocked at how well this choice has worked, and I can't imagine him turning his back on conservatives now. Not that Palin would let him.
Meanwhile, the sit-at-home "true patriots" have gotten nothing for their efforts; McCain's choice was based on conservatives willing to vote for him IF they thought they could work with him.
I was a FredHead (still am) and used rationals like the poster to not support McCain. But Sarah Palin changed it for me. I will volunteer and help to get them elected. I am excited about the race!
I'll be honest. I was one of them. I was completely disinterested in the 2008 election.
Frustrated with the last few years, I'd actually resigned myself to say, "Screw it! Let Obama win!"
Not anymore.
When they spoke about Palin energizing the base, they were speaking to me.
Welcome to our club, Mr Hoven.
Have just the teensiest bit of crow served with a side of humble pie.
Hopefully, you haven’t arrived too late. I don’t think that you have.
I once swore I’d never vote for McCain...Palin has changed that.
I too campaigned against McCain in 2000 and 2004...and his immigration stance and Campaign Finance Reform bore me out.
But something happened. McCain reversed course on amnesty and even grudgingly supported building our Southern Border Fence...plus, McCain latched on to Drill Here, Drill now.
McCain is a war hero, we all know that, but he supported the Surge in Iraq even before my hero, President Bush. That counts for something. He was for the Surge when sending more troops into Iraq was extremely unpopular...
...and that’s when I learned something about McCain...he’s resolute. Just like when I hated his persistance in supporting CFR at every turn, so I came to love his support for the Surge. He never waivered on it.
I can dig it!
Plus, McCain is pro-life. The next 4 SCOTUS Justices need to be pro-life. We can bury Roe v Wade!
So I actually came around to McCain prior to him picking Governor Palin...I was even resigned to “supporting” him if he picked Lieberman.
I am *so* glad that he picked Sarah, though! Now I won’t be holding my nose to vote for McCain...and I even sent him some money.
Wow!
That’s a big turnaround for me. I walked the walk and talked the talk against him in 2000 and 2004. Nice that I don’t have to be against him this time, though.
...and that whole Obama thing?! People! Come on...he’ll be a historical laughingstock who will make people forget McGovern himself.
When a bright light is brough into a room , everyone can see everything a LOT clearer.
Anyone remember, he’s also going to review every government department and then make it all accessable to the American people?
Oh HELL YA! About damn time!
Being afraid of the effeminate Obama would be like being scared by Michael Jackson in his Thriller video. Oooh, scary demon vampire makeup!
Great! I would love to see those polls which show Barr running at a 4 point clip draining down to ones and point-fives before I will sleep a little better.
