Yes, McCain!

Hey...at least McCain is moving up in the world.

Last Presidential Election...he was ONLY considering running as a Vice Presidential Candidate with his best friend Kerry.

Last time he wanted to run as a Democrat...this time it's as a Republican.

He's moving on up.

....'scuse me while I go and throw up.....

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Why do so many Republicans pound the table and shout, "I'd rather vote for a Democrat than the 'insufficiently conservative' John McCain!"?

Get a clue, Larry.

Don't Ask McCain

[ovrtaxt]

NO.

[Just mythoughts]

Can't we all just get along?? Sugar daddy SOROS has bought a candidate for all people you got three choices.

Bush said a couple of days ago, gitmo should be closed.

“Congress big-footed its way into the Terri Schiavo case...”

The purpose of government is to defend the lives of Americans.

Terri Schiavo was starved to death by order of the Florida judiciary.

The federal government has a DUTY to “uphold the Constitution” and to “protect and defend life.”

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

And don’t forget:

We are “extracurricular politics.”

“Any lightbulbs going on over there yet?”

They don’t even know where the lightbulbs are. They have servants for that kind of thing.

Rush is wrong and doing a grave misjustice. The conservatives have been rooting for Hillary to lose when she would have been much easier to beat the MSM darling Obama and now I am afraid it is too late. They have developed stupidity and McCain deraingment syndrome.

You are surely kidding, right? Rush Limbaugh does not work for the RNC, he is a private citizen. He is under no obligation to throw his support behind McCain. Anyone who listens to Rush has known for years that Rush does not like McCain. It is no surprise to anyone that he has taken the attitude he has now.

As to Hillary and Obama, we conservatives have no power on determining the Democrat candidate.

Hillary has big negatives. Perhaps the GOP is unwise to push McCain and run him on the "anyone but Hillary" idea. If McCain gets trounced in November, it won't be the fault of conservatives. McCain is running against his own base and does not really want our vote. He would rather get the votes from independents and Democrats.

It may be too late for Hillary, but that is not the fault of conservatives.

[CharacterCounts]

Wow!

Now we conservatives are to blame for who the Democrats nominate.

You McCainics have no shame.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I WILL write in Ronald Reagan this election before I would even consider disgracing my fellow Vietnam Vets who some of, are still missing in action, thanks to McCain and his repeated effort to block and hide that information from the public. (The man who aided the enemy by giving them information and making statements to the enemy, to be used as propaganda against those of us who were fighting to stay alive for our country.)

The Democrats will rip this idiot apart in the coming campaign. And deservedly so.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Yes, you are correct about that.....

McCain certainly is DERANGED, and it is not by syndrome.

[LibLieSlayer]

Larry the liberal... the left in the pubbie club say, “don’t believe your own lying arsed eyes and ears... believe us liberals!

[steadfastconservative]

You’re right. The grassroots of the Republican Party does not like McCain because he is not a conservative and because he has not been loyal at all to us. The pundits can talk until they are blue in the face but they are not going to convince the grassroots to turn out in November and support McCain. McCain is not electable and it is foolish for the party to make him its nominee.

This year’s election is not the same as the elections of 2000 and 2004 because John McCain is even less conservative than George W. Bush and because he lacks Bush’s ability to govern. I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 and did so because I thought he would be a better President than Gore or Kerry, not because he was the lesser of two evils. It would be much harder for me to support McCain, who is just going to be the lesser of two evils as opposed to a better President than the Democrat candidate.

[Sprite518]

I will NEVER vote for a Bush again. McNut is Bust on steroids! Sorry but just like the 2006 election. I am not going to pick McCain because he is the lesser of the two evils. The Republicans have become a worthless party, and betrayed the conservatives. They need to loss their a$$ so that a new party can come along. The Republicans will never get a penny from me again.

[William Terrell]

I might vote, November is a long way away, for McCain as the lesser of two evils but I am not doing the second item, "work for" him.

When you deliberately vote for a candidate, you are putting your imprimatur on him. You make yourself personally responsible for his decisions and actions.

Of course, no candidate is perfect, but McCain is little different in all areas than the democrat choices. If you vote for McCain, you may as well vote for the democratic selection.

The folks that want to fundamentally change America have us in a trap. If you don't vote for the republican offering, you have "elected" the democrat offering, and the republican offering wants the same thing as the democrat offering.

You are being forced to put your deliberate seal of approval on these changes planned for America.

Vote. It is not a privilege, not a right, not an honor. It is a duty of an American citizen under a democratically elected representative republic.

But vote for a candidate that is not part of the plan, and both the democrat and republican parties are demonstratively for the plan.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

O.K., you're wrong here. If you subscribe to true Conservative principles and classic federalism, then you should realize that the federal government had NO business getting involved in the Schiavo case, period. It was a state and local matter, and should have ended there, rather than becoming the national circus that it did.

The federal government has a DUTY to “uphold the Constitution” and to “protect and defend life.”

While the federal government does have the duty to upheld the U.S. Constitution, there is NO provision in the document that orders the government to "protect and defend life", as you put it. That is a matter left for the states, under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

I'm sympathetic to your zeal in defending "life," but every time the federal government gets involved in the issue, it turns into a big mess, in which we lose more and more of our liberty. State's rights, remember?

[MBB1984]

You nailed it. The article is void of any real analysis. Elder says McCain is right on the big issues of the economy and the Supreme Court. But, he didn’t mention McCain orchestrating the notorious “Gang of Fourteen” and his statement that “Alito wears conservatism on his sleeve” or McCain’s admission that “he doesn’t know much about the economy.”

I would expect better analysis from a fifth grader.

[TADSLOS]

So, which are you- a DU troll or a freshly minted McCainiac troll, or both?
