“How about better than barak hussein obama? Those are your real choices, as much as you seem to enjoy comparing a war hero to pond scum or maggot-infested road kill. Real class.”

There are several war heroes in this nation that would make better POTUS’ (POTI?) than this POS.

We understand perfectly. You are very clear. It could not be clearer.

  • You will accordingly vote, sir, for someone - Obama - who has declined to place even his hand over his heart during the National Anthem and Pledge.
  • You will vote for someone who sat approvingly for 20 years in a political hall euphemistically called a church where its leader vilified, slandered, and cursed America - the country defended and made free by millions of patriots with their blood from the American Revolution to the Present Day.
  • You will vote for someone who, to carry out the aim of his party, will bring about world defeat and derision of the U. S., beginning with Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • You will vote for someone who will lead his party in a smear campaign for the next four years to formally - through clever “committee findings” - denigrate and slander everything that George Bush and every Republican has ever accomplished.
  • You will vote for someone who, to carry out the specific wishes of financier, George Soros, will do everything he can to bring about a one-world government and a one-government world.
  • You will vote for someone who in his (brief) legislative career has demonstrated nothing but virulent animosity toward the Second Amendment.
  • You will vote for someone who will restore, and hugely expand, programs based on “minority rights” - including the abrogation of all judicial decisions forbidding reverse discrimination.
  • You will vote for someone who in every public vote in his lifetime has voted against any - any - restrictions on abortion including third-trimester abortions and partial-birth abortions.
  • The fact that this means millions - millions - of unborn children will be slain in the womb before they even see God's beautiful Earth - and the others slain the very moment they emerge upon it - is of no concern to us, is it?
  • Yes, it has come to this. Orwell knew it was coming: “Big Brother Obama...Big Brother Obama...Big Brother Obama...Take us...Take us...WE ARE YOURS!!!YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take your rant to the RNC you psycho. THEY decided on having Open Primaries where Democrats, so-called Independents and Moderates choose McCain.

And I 'ain't' voting for Obama. He'll take my state (IL) no matter whom I vote for so I'm voting for someone who respects the U.S. Constitution and still believes the USA has a BORDER- Bob Barr. So blow it out your a$$ Frances.

While I acknowledge his courage of forty years ago, spending time in a POW camp makes him only one of among "many" war heros. Moreover, one has to seriously doubt the "brains" of any Republican who ever thought members of the MSM were his friends.

I knew a couple of guys who would have been a lot better than McCain and anyone on the other side of the aisle anyway...

But apparently the party “leadership” has failed once again to hold onto conservative ideals, and allowed the moderate and psuedo “say-so” psycophants (sp?) to errode the conservative base into mediocracy...

Giving the liberals in this country the foothold and ability to capture the people in this country that do not think beyond the nose on their face and be enamoured by this message of “hope” and the “future”, yet not knowing that the person(s) delivering that message are not what they seem...

The result will be that we will end up in a true minority position and not recover for some time the political environment and temperament of the conservative voting block...

Not that a conservative slant in our government did anything for me except stay out of my life as much as possible...But it is a lot better than what is coming to solidify its majority after the message that was sent to us in 2006...

I don’t get it. In post 17 you say you’re voting for Obama, and post 26 sounds like you’re giving reasons for voting for McCain. Am I missing something?

Yes, the power to divine the true intent of the writer, If I were you I'd blame public schooling for this affliction and ask for some sort of disability stipend until such time as you can realize when someone is being sardonic.

Who knows I might even start smoking and drinking again to shorten up my lifespan before the crap really hits the fan...

When TSHTF, you might as well smoke and drink.

I plan to.

Someone has an exceedingly high opinion of himself.

Why should I wait for the opinion of others to guide my thoughts.....

By the way, that election in 2000 it was my vote that helped George W. Bush become president and win Florida.

Please post this dribble somewhere else, please? Why do you McCainiacs insist on putting salt on the wound of real conservatives? You aren’t going to change any minds, you aren’t going to accomplish a thing except make yourself ‘feel’ better. Did you hear that? FEEL BETTER. That’s exactly the type of emotion these tree-huggin, bunny-kissing liberals have poured into your ears throughout your life. Go put this crap somewhere where someone with no sense and no respect for their ideals might, might, change their mind.

How are you doing? it has been a long time since I have noticed one of your posts?

I don’t believe that John McCain was picked by The RNC as much as I believe he was picked by the DNC as beatable.

The democrats used crossover voters to ensure he had enough votes to win the nomination because they were sure that his name on the ballot would be enough to persuade Conservatives not to vote there by ensuring a win for Hillary.

Yes, Hillary was suppose to be the benefactor of this ploy, instead under the radar came Obama and took it from her. Which where we are today.

Sadly I do believe that conservatives will sit this out and allow the worst possibility to happen, if the past has taught us anything It is that they are willing to lose and lose badly for their ideas.

As for the time between now and the convention, the only thing I see that could stop John McCain from getting the nomination is that he has a physical problem that would stop his run and unlike other conservatives that all but put those thoughts into print I would not wish any ill will on that man.

Doing well...all things considered. Try not to hang out here as much as I once did...the BDS has reached epidemic proportions.

I must agree, but I also believe that the RNC was complicit if not instrumental.

The democrats used crossover voters ...
Agreed, however...the RNC rearranged the primaries with front loading open primaries and penalized many states delegates.

When the RNC did not seize control of the circus performances, aka the "republican debates", I knew we were screwed! Also, allowing the enemedia to decide on who would be permitted to participate in the debates on the eve of the first actual primary in the country was a huge sign that the primary was nothing more than a farce.

Only the Republican Party of New Hampshire had the guts to call out Fraud News and withdrew from the sponsorship of the debate. RP of SC, had no such intestinal fortitude and in fact stole $10,000. from one candidate by not insisting he participate in the debate.

You are correct, of course, in that Hitlery was the anointed one. It was a forgone conclusion...until!

The VA state republican convention was last Saturday. As a delegate to said convention, I can tell you there was NO enthusiasm for the "presumptive one"

Some of "my guys" at Walter Reed are getting very original with their ideas to stop this. LOL! They are VERY worried!

I didn't post it to change your mind or anyones else's.

Just to list a few, things like: "This transformation would consist of (but would not be limited to) ending the War in Iraq; giving every American government health care, stopping lobbyists from running Washington and ending tax breaks to American companies that ship job overseas." OR "Sure we can leave Iraq. But what if Iran takes over Iraq? " OR "Conversely, not much is expected of John McCain."


Authors write about two things Pubbies or Dems. At least this article tells truth about Obama.

As for this article, based on your comment, you really didn't read the article. It is as much a statement of anti-Obama.

Then again no other alternatives have come forth. Both the Libertarian and Constitutional Parties would leave Iraq and not take the fight to radical Muslims. That is an option I will not vote for.

So, guess we're at a standstill. You post your articles and I'll read them. I'll post mine and you don't have to read them.

Yeah I agree about the BDS, it would seem that either we have a number of very deep trolls or a great number of the BDS crew lack the Courage to face the reality that Bush has done the best he could with the cards he has been dealt.

That is the very nature of politics, you work with what you can until you can raise the stakes. If Bush had any sort of republican support at all the Democrats would never have been able to pull off some of the greatest political scams of our time.

Not voting for McCain will only help Obama, I would think that the protest votes of 2006 have sunk in by now.

It probably makes sense for people who live in swing states to vote for McCain.

Is there any reason someone in Alaska or Illinois should vote for him?

Yes - because this election has been topsy-turvy from the get-go, and nothing can be assumed.

The Rat strategy is working perfectly. It has Republicans voting for obomba or not voting.

Actually, a lot of the 'Rats would be better off with McCain than with Obama. McCain will give most of the 'Rat Senators what they want (the hardcore leftists wouldn't get what they want, but even under an Obama presidency they'd probably be held somewhat in check by the moderates).

McCain would probably be less destructive to the country than Obama, but more beneficial to most of the 'Rats who would prefer not to have the country collapse too completely before they've managed to get their 'piece of the action'.

Is there any conceivable way in which Obama could lose Illinois and yet still emerge with 270 Electoral Votes? Does not compute.

I’m not sure logic has anything to do with this election cycle. Nothing will surprise me at this point and I wouldn’t be surprised if a new electoral map *was* drawn this time around. Of course, I’m assuming tradition will prevail but you know what they say about assuming.

Leave nothing to chance, always vote no matter what the odds are.

Barack Hussein Obama, says of his nominees, “We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it’s like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old and that’s the criteria by which I’ll be selecting my judges.”

John McCain says of his nominees, “The duties and boundaries of the Constitution are not just a set of helpful suggestions. They are not just guidelines to be observed when it’s convenient and loosely interpreted when it isn’t. In federal and state courts there are still men and women who understand the proper role of our judiciary and I intend to find them and promote them. My nominees will understand that there are clear limits to the scope of judicial power.”
