We have been lazy, we let the MSM pick our guys for us.
We think that having talk radio on our side is enough and nodding in agreement with fellow conservatives is supporting conservatism.
Well, It’s time to start changing that.
I don’t know exactly the best way yet. LOL
But we can whip this rino problem and we can triumph again.
One thing I have learned, the political pendulum is always swinging. And I am going to be there pushing it to the right!
The talk is Huck as VP which would make sense since he’s a fellow fiscal liberal. One line of thinking is to take McCain and wait for 2012 where the census has people moving from NY, MA, PA, MI, IL and other blue states to FL,AZ, TX, UT, NV and other red states.
The R party seems to elect the next in line whether it’s Dole or McCain. Next in line in 2012 would be Mitt.
Yes, it’s depressingly accurate.
While I will not pretend to speak for anyone else here, I know why I know he will lose.... because I want that traitorous bastard to lose and I want to participate in a political party that has something to stand for.
John McCain is NOT a representative of anything I belive in. McCain and anyone supporting him can kiss my @ss.
That about sums up McCain- will do anything to advance himself. It turns out Huckabee is the same way.
I don't trust McCain or Huckabee.
I saw Obama say tonight that one candidate (Hillary obviously) had taken in more money from lobbyists than both Republican candidates. He said he has NO lobbyist money. Hmmm....
Just use your common sense.
Anyone with Immigration as a issue will not vote for McCain.
Anyone with personal integrity as a issue will not vote for McCain.
Anyone who still has a great deal of affection for GWB, will not vote for McCain.
Anyone who cares about judges and the constitution will not vote for McCain.
Anyone who sees the global warming hoax as dangerous to the economy and security of the US will not vote for McCain.
In short, anyone who truly knows McCain and cares about more than winning a election will never vote for McCain.
Let the Dem's screw it all up. It is the only way to put the GOP back together. Better them than us, under the utter lack of principled leadership that McCain has to offer. He will surround himself with idiots to make himself look smart, and then blame the idiots for screwing up. I've seen it dozens of times before. Even a president or two.
It's pretty easy to make the decision. At least It is for me, and I could make this list very much longer.
I think you’re right and what contributes to that unpopularity is the constant bashing of the media and the lack of will on the part of the Administration to counter any wrongs claims. The Bush Administration didn’t want to put up a fight for whatever reason and the people either lost respect or bought into the media’s slanted views. It’s almost a form of tacit consent on the Administration’ part. Maybe they thought they were being high-minded, to sit above the fray or that the criticism would die down... but it hasn’t. It has colored everything and hasn’t left at all.
Bob Dole’s still fit and ready to run if we want him.
The one benfit of all this is that the procrastination to become as rich as I possibly can has been scared out of me.
Darn right! I will not send McCain a single penny! The RNC can suck eggs too!
Hunters son is running for congress, he will get my money and my vote.
“Anyone with Immigration as a issue will not vote for McCain.”
He has taken back some of his anti-border rhetoric, says he’s learned his lesson. Truth? Who can tell? I hope so. We have to believe Romney’s recent conversions. We have to believe Huckabee just raised taxes in order to balance a budget.
“Anyone with personal integrity as a issue will not vote for McCain.”
Over and against Hil and Obama? No contest. That’s comparing gnats to camels.
“Anyone who still has a great deal of affection for GWB, will not vote for McCain.”
I have a great deal of affection for GWB and defend him frequently. I’d vote for McCain.
“Anyone who cares about judges and the constitution will not vote for McCain.”
He voted for Alito and Roberts. I have some concerns about who he’d nominate, but I have no doubt as to what Hil or Obama would nominate! I’ll go with McCain over them!
“Anyone who sees the global warming hoax as dangerous to the economy and security of the US will not vote for McCain.”
That is sort of six of one, half a dozen of the other since Hil and Obama hold to the same stupid notion.
“In short, anyone who truly knows McCain and cares about more than winning a election will never vote for McCain.”
Well, we’ll see. I don’t think he’s the worst thing that could happen to America, not by a long shot.
I didn’t vote for him today. I just think he’s way better than any Democratic opponent. And I want to win the war.
I do not know. Every single Republican that I personally know voted for Romney, Hunter or Thompson. If I ever meet a McCain supporter, I will give them an earful of my opinion of them.
And the turnout was 2:1 Dem to Rep-—what a lackluster performance across the board. McCain better get really good at making inspirational speeches and make some heady commitments to the conservatives or start practicing his November concession speech right now.
Hell yeah! I'm with you, we need to take this country back from the left! We may loose this round, but the fight is not over!
ah ha! dead elephant.. i see what you did there
Forgive me being a little morbid, but I think the Huck is betting on the aging McCain not making it through his term in office. If he was to meet the Maker then Huck would be president without actually having to win the election.
Perhaps I'm way off mark, but this idea has been sitting in the back of my head for a while, but I can see why no one would want to mention it.
“McCain has charisma. I once saw him bite the head off a live bat at a GOP dinner.”
Was it one of the bats in his belfry?
-—FOLKS....
It’s a PROPOGANDA WAR, and we lost it long ago.
The media has succsessfully turned the word “Conservative” into hate-word, along with “Christian”.-—
Theres also the school indoctrination from kindergarten to college. As the population gets older, we conservatives continue to lose more people who understand propaganda when we see it.
Take globull warming for instance. I understood it to be propaganda the moment I first heard of it. The most telling reason was the urgency of governmental action that “must be taken now” or disaster looms.
I also understood it to be just like previous incarnations of doom and gloom, give me more power talk from the 70’s like globull cooling.
As the population ages there are more voters of a younger age that don’t have the exposure to the indoctrination attempts from earlier times. They will believe the lies of the left because they have not been disillusioned by previous reality.
