I can think of only one good reason to vote for McCain, and that’s to keep Barack Obama, out of the White House. Even with that large incentive, McCain has lately been really pushing his luck. I might wind up voting for Bob Barr this November. There’s plenty of time left to consider all the angles.
Ping.
Pilots in my family also.
Don’t have to tell me about Ohio.
Ancestors there since 1811.
Yep—the environmentalists loved him, as did the UN.
“John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.
Think about it.
We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabres at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.
John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these ‘world leaders’ to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.
I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other folks in sheets, the Saudis. “
“John McCain is not a Conservative.”
How do we know if John McCain is even a Republican?
Looking at the three boneheads I get the distinct feeling that the Democrats will win in 2008 regardless of who we vote for.
Well said. Fear is a very bad place from which to elect a mentally shaky guy president.
“But he’s a loyal American who supports our military.”

McCain says:
"Why don't you shut your political pie hole?"
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
John McCain, enemy of free speech
Sure I would - I'd give just about anything for a fifth anti-Roe vote because of the lives it would save. I would say mea culpas publically for the next four years and would actively work for his re-election campaign in 2012.
That being said, my post 101 applies to you as well. The man who spearheaded the Gang of 14 nominating a judicial conservative? You are either deluded with wishful thinking, or being deliberately deceitful in an effort to elect your candidate.
The real question for you - if McCain is elected (which I don't believe will happen regardless of his opponent, BTW) and puts Warren Rudman in charge of SC nominations, resulting in a RINO deluxe nominee in an effort to "reach out" to the other side of the aisle - what will those of you who have shilled for him continuously have to say? :^)
For the past few years or so Bob Barr has been on the payroll of the ACLU
Atta boy, Bill! *high five*
Anybody who thinks this compares to marbles and sulking is out of his league in sports analogies! (^ )
When Babbitt was Governor, I could walk into his office and have one of his senior staff sit and talk to me. Not a brush off, not lip service, but a substantial discussion where my views were taken seriously. And there was always follow up. That is more than some of the Governors that I helped elect.
so, as you please
you can have the last word on an issue neither of us will change our minds on
Don’t worry, there aren’t all that many of us strict-constructionists left...our lost votes will be made up for by liberals who can’t stand their choices and like McCain anyway. They, too, can look past the R behind his name.
“For the past few years or so Bob Barr has been on the payroll of the ACLU”
Dick Armey also has the same consulting arrangement with the ACLU. The ACLU is only 50% crazy. They also do some good work.
Come to think of it, John McCain is also 50% crazy! I like him about as well as the ACLU.
Those reasons don’t matter one whit. McCain is a liberal, a RINO who should have changed parties a long time ago.
What promises do we get from him that he won’t reneg on? None, I bet.
I called his National Campagin HQ today to find out where he stands on the Fairness Doctrine. THEY WOULDN’T GIVE ME AN ANSWER. The best I got was that he was all for free speech and dissenting voices. Well, gee whiz, if that were true would he still be condeming North Carolina Republicans to be, “Out of touch with reality?”
Which one of the Marx Brothers is that anyway?
That was way before he became a “maverick” and a media darling.
