National Review Online: Despite The Senator's Policies, He Is Better Than Democratic Alternative
John McCain is not a conservative, but I will vote for him anyway.
Meanwhile, Senator Barack Obama has been named the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate by National Journal. Senator Hillary Clinton can't be far behind. Against them, Senator McCain would seem the obvious choice for conservatives. But some of them think a term or two in the political wilderness would be beneficial.
Conservatives have been here before. As National Review said in 1972, "There are those, including some of our colleagues, who believe that four years of McGovern would catalyze a recrudescent conservatism. We disagree that the chance is worth taking. McGovern is the erector set of big-think intellectuals, otherworldly dreamers, and children. Belloc warned that dangerous toys should not be given to little boys."
It is time for conservatives to accept reality (accepting reality is another conservative trait); and the reality is (1) John McCain will be the Republican nominee for president and (2) he will make a far better president than the Democratic alternative.

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
Im a Rino and I’m OK..
I marry fags and say Oh hey
I raise your tax and wear high heels
I drink the koolaid and tax your carbon
etc....
Fine by me, as long a he doesn’t need conservative votes...
Everything you posted about McCain is IRRELEVANT.
The choice is McCain or Obama. Voting against McCain is voting FOR Obama.
Are YOU an Obama supporter?
You really should put that kind of energy into knocking down Barack Obama.
McCain’s record as a politician is irrelevant?
Go ahead and vote for him. No one’s stopping you.
But you can count me out.
“Are YOU an Obama supporter?”
You are soooo stupid, you shouldn’t be allowed to post here...
Why don’t you? I have spent over 15 months on this compilation of information at my own expense of time. What have you done but bitch?
Let me repeat:
“The choice is McCain or Obama. Voting against McCain is voting FOR Obama.
Are YOU an Obama supporter?”
And let me add — do you have any idea what will Obama, a far left socialist do to the country with a filibuster proof Dem majority in Congress?
McCain is not the nominee.
LOL, excellent point.
You need to post that on every John McAmnest thread until the Admins say stop.
“Vote for Ron Paul he can’t win either but that will make a decent statement..”
Sure, just like those voting for Ross Perot “made a statement” and the RESULT was 8 years of Bill Clinton, who allowed the rise of Islamic terrorists, because he was “too busy” to actually do anything about them.
I repeat: You are soooo stupid, you shouldn’t be allowed to post here...
This is the first time ever I say I might vote for him...
We need some sort of divorce and kick out rights to say you promised... ok you are now gone.....
Can we pre-nup the whore or not?
