McCain made a statement saying he supported Gates plan (which includes cutting missile defense). Having McCain as the ranking member on the SASC is downright scary.
McCain Statement on Gates' Budget CutsHis buddy Lieberman even got this one right.
Lieberman-Obama honeymoon stops at missile defensePalin also issued a press release (and got it right):
Palin Stresses Need for Missile Defense (More)
Facts happen! lol
That's like a week after McCain made this 'winning' move to address the "crisis":
September 24, 2008: “Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington ...“We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the commission on presidential debates to delay Friday night’s debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.”
The "Republican base" ARE the COnservatives, ad they are not "demoralized". the RINO leadership are "de-moralized". the Conservatives are PISSED OFF.
You are right we have TWO Woman standing against the Marxist Hordes from the other side and from within and that is IT!!!! George Bush and that Remote controlled Zombie Mc Queeg and NOT Republicans if anything they stand middle of the road RAT Party, Not only that but are solely to blame for this Disaster that fell on us Nov 4.
You BEST NOT be implying that I am a troll.
Just damn.
What demoralized the base, was McInsane suspending his campaign and then voting for a bailout that had little public support. A bailout that was pork laden; something he'd campaigned against. The man showed himself to be two faced and ruined his own campaign.
But you are right, there was nothing conservative about this. After all, it came from McInsane himself, so that's a given.
As for we posters, myself included upthread, being trolls, I voted for Sarah Palin. McInsane just happened to be on the ticket. I wasn't going to vote at all until she was picked as his running mate. That was the only good, considered and decisive decision he made.
If you'd prefer a Republican forum, then go elsewhere. This is and will continue to be a conservative forum. Republicans get little notice here except when they show strong, unwavering support for conservative ideals.
I wasn’t talking to you or any of the rest of the trolls here. Maybe the truth just hurts.
You know exactly what I think of you,by the way. I have told you before. I haven’t got the least problem pinging you or anyone else, I just don’t have the time or the inclination anymore...the damage has been done already anyway.
For you to call this freeper a troll because he told the truth is rich...now buzz off.
True, but that was just a further demoralization.
I think they were really demoralized sometime about Feb 5th, when it first looked like McCain would win the nomination. Or, earlier... when the MSM kept pushing Rudy McRomney as the GOPs only hope.
Come to think about it, I can take the demoralization of the base all the way back to 2004 when the RNC chose to headline with the primetime speaking spots three huge RINOs: McCain, Schwarzenegger, and Giuliani.
I was speaking to the fact that polls showed McCain a couple percentage points ahead of Obama going into that decision. He came out of it the loser. Up to that point, regardless of the despondency aired here and elsewhere about the choice of McCain, Sarah Palin breathed new life into the campaign and made people sit up and listen. While not always on a conservative bent, the grassroots was energized, evidenced by the turnout at rallys. I believe the final tally was close enough to believe that had McCain acted differently during the bailout crisis, the election could well have turned out differently. Thus, McCain killed his own chances.
Implying that anyone who disagrees with you about your precious McCain is a Democrat troll or from Stormfront is sick, not "truth."
You only damage FR and conservatism by these outrageous slurs.
I agree that his idiotic "suspend my campaign" crap, followed by his support of TARP, clinched his landslide loss. I still think he lost way before that. Remember, his poll numbers actually showed him getting a large proportion of the Hispanic vote -- all myth created by pollsters and his campaign, IMO. McCain lost because he believed his own campaign press releases and was/is totally out of tune with the base and out of touch with reality.
I never called you a troll. I did, however, call you a Bushbot, as you are a "noted" one, per your profile.
I wasn’t talking to you or any of the rest of the trolls here.
It doesn't matter who you were talking to; if you talk about someone, particularly in a derogatory manner, please at least have the courtesy to ping them.
I haven’t got the least problem pinging you or anyone else, I just don’t have the time or the inclination anymore...
Laziness is an insufficient and sad excuse for your refusal to adhere to proper Freeper etiquette.
The truth? Here's the TRUTH:
You're making us Minnesota FReepers look bad.
I'll try to save you, but ya gotta work with me.
Ever hear of "Quislings"?
Or "Copperheads"?
Or "Fifth Columnists"?
Or "Enablers"?
Or "Useful Idiots"?
Have you stopped to consider what the letters in the word RINO mean anytime lately?
I think constant usage has dulled the significance of the words.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Anti-Bushbot Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
Let me know how that vision thing is working out for you.
The first Bush handed the White House to the Dems by betraying the principles of the Reagan Revolution ("read my lips!").
The second Bush helped hand the White House to the Dems by doing such a piss-poor job of articulating his positions, and sounding so incoherent, that they made a community organizer with sketchy past, ties to terrorists like Ayers, and admitted narcotics usage sound like Winston Churchill in comparison.
"I will serve the Dark Side, like my father before me."
Cheers!
y’all freepers are mean. McCain was right to tell the Mexicans they reaped what they sowed. I don’t know what y’alls problem is If more conservatives would have got off their royal butts and voted maybe we wouldn’t have the communists in office now
