Cutting logic to my previous posts.
Nice ad hominem attack typical of recently arrived bots paid to post here. Sounds suspiciously like projection to me.
Your posts still don't rise to the level of Turing test passing and in fact are dropping in the level of sagacity.
Please go turn in your resignation to Soros and send out a more intelligent replacement shill.
Exactly my good FRiend,
And might I add McCain/Lieberman, Global Warming, pending economic disaster if this stupidity is even remotely passed.
They seem to conveniently forget that McCain has spent well over half of his career rubbing elbows with the Democrats and even wears their uniform.
It’s only until recently when he became a viable candidate that he has made the claim that he is Conservative. He must think that we have no memory or ability to comprehend his past record.
“You shouldn’t be on a discussion board - you should be at the range, practicing, for what you would call down on our heads.”
I’m quite confident that many of us are doing both.
Everything you have posted to me has been an ad hominen attack. I have stated my beliefs, and you attack me personally. I do not have any dislike for you and am sure you are a good person. But please stop accusing me of being a leftist becuase I will use my vote to prevent an Obama presidency.
You are correct that I should not have attacked you personally. But that is all you have done to me on this thread rather than my positions. All you have posted to me is that I am on drugs, I work for Soros, and I made typos.
I think I have stated my position on this issue, and you are free to vote or not vote in any way you like.
This election is a conundrum for conservatives but it is going to be a disaster for the Republican Party. The problem is that McCain’s nomination is going to split the Republican Party and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. While some conservatives will hold their noses and vote for him in November as the lesser of two evils, others will not.
A few months ago, conservatives worried that if Rudy Guiliani were nominated, that conservatives would not vote for him in November because he is a social liberal. He would have been a bad nominee for the party because he would not have been able to unify and energize the base. But the same thing is true of McCain for other reasons. He is just as unelectable as Guiliani would have been.
Why is the party putting McCain forward as our standard bearer in an election year when our guy is going to run against either the first black nominee or the first woman nominee? Why are we nominating someone who is unpopular with the base?
Lecturing the base about how disloyal we would be to the country if we do not vote for McCain this fall is not going to persuade some of us to do so. I may decided to vote for him as the lesser of two evils but I am not going to become emotionally invested in a presidential election that I know our party is going to lose and I’m not going to be surprised or disappointed when we do.
At this point we really only have the Third Amendment left standing.
No, you have not demonstrated out how McCain is anything but a liberal, how he is not a crook, nor why we should not take his recent history of actions as indicative of his expected future actions. Nor have you explained why you showed up here so recently and are not gainfully employed at this time of day (other than being piad to shill for McCain).
How did McCain vote on Justice Alito? For or Against? How did Hillary vote on him? How did Obama?
How did McCain vote on Justice Roberts? For or Against? How did Hillary vote on him? How did Obama?
Still think there’s no difference?
>>>There is one other point worth mentioning: John McCain is a soldier, a real soldier, not a phony soldier like JFnK, but a man who has truly served his country in time of war.<<<
So did Benedict Arnold. McCain wants to virtually cripple our intelligence gathering capability by eliminating water-boarding (which McCain falsely declared to be torture) and by shutting down Guitmo. McCain also betrayed us when he colluded with Russ Feingold to push through the most serious violation of the 1st Amendment since the Alien and Sedition Act of the 2nd (the John Adams) administration.
You are correct,
There are so few “Republicans” at the polls these days and the Democrats out number them by over two to one, and the donations coming into the Democrat coffers rivals the National budget, while “Republicans” are begging in the streets with the homeless for food.
The GOP will need EVERY vote they can muster to even make this election just a mild land slide for the Dems.
This won’t spell the end if we do lose. (And brace yourself for just that.) It will be like the Carter years, very short and eve opening for the America that has slipped into a coma once again. The result was 8 solid Conservative years of Reagan and 4 mushy moderate Bush 1 years.(Which is why we lost.)
When the GOP slides to the middle it loses, I can give examples; Bush 1, Dole, Ford, and Nixon.
We either clean house and become a solid Conservative party again, or we become an amoral Socialist cesspool like Europe has become. I choose the latter.
OOPS!
(Typo) Let me rephrase that to the “former”
Not on the Bill of Rights, they don't, and nobody should be expected to reward them for doing so.
If you think that John McCain is the least vile of the statists running, and that this nation somehow can survive his malignant disregard for the founder's contract (and remain free in the bargain), then by all means vote for him. I respect your right to hold your nose and pull the lever for him, but I reject anyone's reaching over and clamping down on mine.
Mr. niteowl77
It WAS a compliment and would be a compliment to pretty much all pre-2000ers. Unless you are part of the small percentage who both ARE nuts and THINK you are nuts.
You can say that again. Sun Tzu would be horrified.
I apologize. I had assumed that you were a person capable of rational thought and argument. My mistake.
Today’s generations of leaders, if they had been charged with victory in Japan would have said, “Emperor Worshipping Samurai-Feudalism is peaceful; hold onto your militant ethnocentrism, your acts of valor at Nanking; we’re just going to do a little “surge tinkering” and “nation building” here and there.”
And I would like to apologize. I thought you were a person who cared about our boys’ lives. Evidently, you are a team player at all costs—even if your team is being managed by the Devil.
If the Republicans want to win, the party has to nominate someone who gives the base a reason to vote for him, not someone whose only strength is that he is not as bad as the Democrat candidate.
The Republican Party was foolish to go along with a flawed primary process, which allowed liberal states to vote first and give the momentum to moderates like McCain and Huckabee. Maybe this election will show the party the error of its ways.
