Shuster: Rush and Hannity Don't Matter

The only people believing this TV garbage are idiots who need their morning dose of stupid.

[N. Theknow]

" ... Are they willing, the conservatives, the Limbaughs, the Hannitys of the world, to concede the election, to not have John McCain be president, to take Hillary Clinton over them, just to take a principled stand? ..."

Absolutely!

Vote for McCain? Oh,surrrrre.

Just because your spouse cheats on you, bad mouths you whenever the chance arises and has stabbed you in the back whenever you walk through the kitchen, isn't any reason to think something might be wrong with the relationship.

[McGruff]

Let me explain it to Shyster.

Sometimes you need a Carter to get a Reagan.

Off topic but I thought that McCain ad pretty disingenuous. Going back 14 years for quotes. If you go back only 8 years you'll have plenty of reasons not to vote for McCain.

[TomGuy]

Are conservatives going to sit back and let that guy get elected? Speaking as a father of two career servicemen, that idea scares me to death.

I have the same apprehension about Obama. Who is he, were did him come from (politically), and who is behind his rise to national prominence?

I have the same apprehension about Clinton. It was difficult enough to pry BillyJ out of the White House after his 8 years. In their first 8 years the Clintons embedded their own people into the so much of the governmental operation, and those people still run roughshod over policies and procedures. The Clintons could do a heck of allot more with another 4 or 8 years. That is frightening.

I have the same apprehension about McCain. He has been such a maverick that that makes him erratic and untrustworthy. And his circle of friends in the Senate seem to be more with Kennedy, Kerry, Lieberman, Clinton, etc., -- those on the more liberal side. Notice that McCain has few photo-ops and news conferences with the Sessions and Dewines and Coburns. McCain is a liberalist Democrat in disguise. Heck, even Kerry admitted that McCain wanted to be his VP candidate in 2004. And after McCain's defeat for the GOP nomination in 2000, McCain has admitted he considered jumping parties.

What’s Shuster been stuffing in his mouth...?

[Hattie]

Watching from the sidelines.

[libh8er]

Hey Shuster, get a good look at Rush’s watch. You will never own one like that.

[LadyNavyVet]

Did you hear Andy Card say a little later that John McCain was 90% conservative and that he was sure conservatives would rally around him? These inside the beltway types are so out of touch it’s unbelievable.

They’re going to get the shock of their lives in November when principled conservatives refuse to be sheeple anymore.

[kjo]

The fact that Kerry believed that he could make these offers to McCain tells volumns about both men. Any Republican who would sit at a breakfest and listen to this kind of offer is no one to head our ticket.

As far as I am concerned it disqualifies McCain even more.

[mad_as_he$$]

I have been wondering when a reporter will try and goad McCain into an argument and get him to pop off in public.

[Always Right]

And the leader of the gang of fourteen will stop that?

They did let Alito and Roberts get through.

[Sal]

Whether or not a person listens to or watches Limbaugh/Hannity, most people know who they are.

WTF is a Shuster, why is it on TV and why should we care? 8^)

[G.Mason]

"Now or never ... "

I agree with your points as to McCain.

And here's the big pregnant but ... being "stuck" with Romney, or Huckabee is not even close to being acceptable, and simply continues the onslaught of our demise.

IMHO ... a period of "wandering in the wilderness" is a much needed experience Conservatives, and all Americans not only are in need of, but is exactly what we are going to get.

I can only hope that in our wanderings we will think of the things that got us to that point, and not be overly absorbed by missing "American Idol".

[Sal]

The liberals are on the ropes on the Supreme Court, and one Democratic president can turn back our progress 25 years.

Absolutely right. Unfortunately it's as true of Rat McCain as it is of Clinton/Obama.

[STARWISE]

Absolutely .... I think time
holds a lot of surprises.... ;)

[G.Mason]

ROTF ...

As being one who has been there, and done that ... the bells of truth rang out loud and clear!

[sport]

Al queda is going to attack again but they will wait until Hillary is sworn in.

This will give her a chance to:
1. Go after her political ememies.[ Inter and jail them]
2. Go after legimate gun owners. [conficskate them]
3. Impose marital law. [to make the people “secure]

This will be her “Reichstag Fire”. Anyone familiar with German history knows what this was and what ensued.

[Always Right]

Absolutely right. Unfortunately it's as true of Rat McCain as it is of Clinton/Obama.

Yes and no. A Clinton/Obama presidency would be a golden window of opportunity for all the liberals to be replaced. Under McCain, the liberals on the court will be reluctant. McCain will probably find some Sandra Day O'Connor's to put on the court, unprincipled all over the map justices. The 4 ultra liberals want to be replaced by ultra liberals, not wildcards.

[GodBlessUSA]

McCain could blow it by showing everyone his a$$ publicly by losing it at conservatives

I'm so hoping for this. Sooner than later ;) Maybe today at Cpac. LOL

[sport]

Amen to that!

They are in for a rude awakening.
