I’ll write in Fred Thompson.

Sadly, those of us in NY do not have that option.

That’s all well and good(and could be great fodder for late night, but my concern is security and tax increase( re: true recession and more devaluation of the dollar)People make fun of me when I mention that I seriously thinking of buying precious metals.

Not sure, Ksen.
Like 99.999% of Americans I know next to nothing about them.
I know there is some “cross pollination” between CP and Religious Right/John Birchers e.g., “Point of View” radio show.

I have concerns about Romney as well but he is far far better than McCain and he actually likes his base. McCain hates conservatives.

One thing we should do going forward is destroy every rino we can any time we can.

Mr. God Bless America literally drooling over JulieAnnie! ugh... I prefer Colmes!

I can't stand when Hannity "Hanitizes" callers into conservatism I guess. Like he is the only conservative and we are all his students. The dude is a lightweight. His support of Trudy should be rubbed in his face.

Regards

I’m not trying to argue with you about your choice of what is acceptable in a candidate.

I’m just stating that for a huge chunk of the base Romney is a barfer and more disliked than McCrazy.

The party is screwed now because all the acceptable conservatives were driven out of the race in a far too crowded field.

You can’t win elections if you let states that vote for liberals drive out the candidates that can win in the states that vote Republican.

I’ve been furious with all of the right wing radio hosts (national) as they should poop or get off the pot. Quit wasting time telling the audience what is wrong with this candidate or that. We are not idiots- we have kept up with events and know who McCain is and who Guliani was.

Instead of tearing down those who you don’t like- trumpet the good candidates and their qualities. We complain about the MSM failing to cover Fred adequately, but the same thing goes for Hannity or Rush or Beck and Laura openly opposed him. Sure they all had him on the show but when he would release a policy statement or the details of a plan, not a peep from our “alternative media”. We might as well have been listening to Dan Rather radio.

The Right Wing radio crowd is very good at being critical but fails at lifting up. We stopped Dubai, stopped amnesty, stopped Harriet Meyers (and don’t look at Roberts or Alito as giant victories- they should have been a cake walk). We can stop candidates but until our media wing is willing to go out on the limb, we will never get anyone elected or this revolution re-fired!!!!

Isn’t Fred still on your primary ballot in NY?

Nope - and no write-ins either.

I loathe the idea of a McCaine presidency but I will not vote for Obama or Clinton. I will not waste my vote on a third party candidate. And I will not act like a petulant child and sit out the election.

All you are doing by voting for McCain is contributing to the demise of the GOP, and especially the conservative wing of the GOP.

How dare you bash Hannity? Sure, it would be NICE to have a pro-life candidate—but Rudy can WIN!!!

And, he’s not. He has endorsed no one. He’s merely pointed out positions taken by each candidate, pro or con.

Rush was a closet Rudy lover. Had he and a lot of the other closet Rudy lovers endorsed a conservative candidate, he might not be stuck with McCain.

“You can’t win elections if you let states that vote for liberals drive out the candidates that can win in the states that vote Republican.”

Beagle8u - You are exactly right. Pretty sure if conservative states were front loaded in these primaries we would have a different outcome than the one we got. DriveByMedia working to get their “Maverick” as the front runner sealed the deal.

He has not taken that position, he has said exactly the opposite, that he could see himself not supporting the REP nominee.

Unfortunately I can’t agree with you. There is no nucleus of conservative leadership in Congress, as there was under Clinton. Hillary or Obama will quickly nominate lib judges to the SCOTUS and other Fed. courts, who will then find that citizen’s don’t really have gun rights, that illegals must be granted full de facto citizenship, that “victim” ethnic groups must get reparations, that criticism of Islam is hate speech, etc. etc. It will be a Marxist revolution. The Electoral College may well be dismantled, and 8 more years of suicidal border and immigration policies will fill the land with so many illegals and 3rd-worlders that the country will be irredeemably lost. We would never even see a RINO President or Congress after that, let alone a conservative one. I don’t see why the nation for which our forefathers sacrificed should be thrown away because today’s Pubbie Party is a bunch of treacherous idiots.

I voted for Nixon the first time. My family have been Republicans since the Civil War. My Grandfather detested FDR and his handouts to the lazy unwilling to work Democrats. Our family was one of the few Republican families in SW Tennessee for almost a century. McCain is not a choice IMO. I don’t know what we are going to do...I watched Ann Coulter lay it on the line last night and she was right. Hillary is more conservative than McCain. Hillary is more conservative than McCain. Hillary is more conservative than McCain. Hillary is more conservative than McCain. Hillary is more conservative than McCain....

You are so wrong. Rush was never a closet Rudy lover. Where do you get any statement by Rush that would come close ?

Most agree with you. I’m not voting for any of the candidates left. I’m writing in my vote.

No one told them they would have to become right-wing conservatives.

And neither did anyone tell the conservatives that we'd have to swallow all of the baggage that the "Big Tent" philosophy envelopes.

Electing Hillary or Hussein would be like installing Hugo Chavez. I honestly don't think that's an exaggeration.

Do you really believe that Congress will become powerless? Do you think Hillary or Obama will be able to get their way without 60 Senators agreeing?

I think the "Hillary must be defeated at all costs" argument has done nothing but bring us to the sad state we are in now with the Republican front runner as bad as the Democrat front runner.

I don't believe that the U.S. is so fragile that a single person like Hillary can destroy it. I don't believe she will propose any insane legislation, although she would be in favor of many things I strongly oppose, and even if she did it would have to be passed by 60 Senators, that means Republicans must also approve.

I think the chances of really damaging legislation, like amnesty, being passed would be greater with McCain as president than with Hillary as president. That makes McCain the more dangerous of the two.
