ROTFL! Stop it, I am spilling my coffee.

GHW Bush was known for “Read my lips”

Juan will be known for “Look into my dead black eyes”

Have you noticed those eyes” Reminds me of a shark.

Bless your son and your family. Give him a warm hello from my family. Glad to hear another voice of reason. I can love my brothers and sisters in the military and honor their service most by telling the GOP I will NOT vote for someone who will not let them complete their mission. Waterboarding or letting a terrorist run free... Mccain and his supporters need to wake up.

pushing tariffs is a big deal breaker for many conservatives.

LOL! Sorry, pal. I don't know any Conservatives that agree with you there.

It's the Globalist moderates and RINOs that subscribe to the new definition of "free trade". Lack of restraint will be the downfall of this free-for-all "capitalist" dream.

Reagan used tariffs- Just ask Harley Davidson how that worked out for them... Yet I don't recall any screaming ninnies moaning "protectionism" back then, do you?

Many freepers thought Fred was the true conservative. But they should have been against him because the one major bill he co-sponsored in the Senate was mccain-feingold.

Fred is no conservative. Fred is a moderate with Federalist tendencies, where he feels they should apply. McCain-Feingold should have been a big hairy clue.

Skip it or write in, whatever. Vote DOWN BALLOT and do NOT stay home!

it’s a matter of perspective

i’d rather continue to fight to make Conservatism premier with McCain as president than the Great Brown Hope or Cankles.

it still sux but I’ll take it

"Some analysts say that if McCain expects to capture evangelical vote in November, he must tailor his approach toward conservatives."

McCain won't tailor poop toward conservatives when he can rely on enough democrats to cross-over to vote for him. He'd rather have their votes than more support in his own party (cough-cough).

I sure hope so Bob.

I started out hoping Tanc or Dunc could pull out a rabbit.

Then gave Fred large only to be stunned by his start.

Then even ponied up 500 to Romney.

Now?

we’ll support McCain but my enthusiasm and angle of wallet opening will be very dependent on his VP choice and his utterances...which are mixed so far

his strong suit is his war guts, war attitude and enthusiasm ...if the latter is on the right things...i do figure him to make decent SCOTUS appointments

but like others pointed out, when he gets angry and PC like the Cunningham incident, it leaves me cold

[TADSLOS]

you’re not a conservative if you are are ok with president hillary or obama. What are you going to do about it?

I will not vote for or endorse a candidate who won't abide by his own sponsored and ill written campaign finance legislation and who takes millions of dollars from a mystery donor south of the border.

I refuse to vote for a candidate who accepts embryonic stem cell research and who back pedals on Roe v. Wade.

I will not champion a candidate that actively pursues to take measures that will hamstring our military and intelligence community's efforts to fight and kill terrorists.

I will not endorse or campaign for a candidate that wishes to provide captured terrorists the same rights and protections under the U.S Constitution as a U.S Citizen.

I will not participate by association and goofy bi-partisan legislation,in the global warming scam like McCain does.

I will not support McCain, who, as an advocate of the UN sponsored ICC, accepts the likelihood of a Star Chamber that threatens to try and convict members of our armed forces of war crimes at the drop of a hat.

I absolutely refuse to vote for, support, or in any way, encourage an open borders,illegal amnesty champion like McCain.

I refuse to meekly and blindly accept the globalist agenda that McCain operates under that ravages this nation with 20+ million illegals and another 10-20 million to finish the job over the next ten years.

If you are willing to accept what the proven liberal McCain has to offer, then:

a. You are no conservative

b. You deserve who you vote for

Now, WHAT are YOU going to do about it?

“Our ability to win the White House ended the day Hunter left the field... He was the last Conservative...”

Agree with you on that. And did you notice how little opportunity he was given to get his message out when he was still in the running! I remember one of those “new format debates” (the day we actually have a political debate in this country will be something, won’t it?)...Duncan Hunter was given maybe 2-3 minutes of actual face-time. All the questions were directed to Romney, Guiliani, and a few others. In other words, the conservative position on much of the issues was never aired to the American people.

There is no dog in this hunt for conservatives. Time to think about those elections closer to home.

[TigersEye]

I don't think he will do that but his actions have established a clear pattern of intention to destroy conservatism and drive it out of the GOP.

As an aside; is that or is that not a hand towel around Hillary's neck?

McCain is no Conservative. He is stridently against Conservatism. How does that make 'Conservatism premier'?

[roamer_1]

I agree with your post in it's entirety. The real trick pony here is the slanted field during the primary, which cannot only be blamed upon the MSM (albeit they are complicit). Our primary contest favors the RINO candidates and incumbents to a great (nearly overwhelming) degree.
