WRONG FOR THE RIGHT (McCain Blew It for Conservatives)

You are exactly right.

And why did the economy hurt McCain’s campaign so much? (I’m not of the camp that he is done for yet.)

Because of the old myth that “Rats are better on the economy. Republicans are for the rich, Rats are for the little guy.”

And what do these whiners help establish even further in the public’s mind, thus passing this political canard down to the next generation? That Rats are better on the economy blh blah blah.

Thus helping to perpetuate the lethal effect of this lie in American politics.

[fightinJAG]

“Losers” is accurate on so many levels.

[fightinJAG]

Not one penny of the $700B “rescue” package has been spent yet. Not one purchase of toxic paper has been made. The law has been passed and TPTB, including the G-7, are still laying the groundwork for how to proceed in an orderly, coherent way.

Thank God we have a representative republic and not ignorant mob rule.

He had his chance! Clear as Day! When Obama and Pelosi (and bush ) proposed the bailout...

You are so right!

The solution to the mortgage triggered crisis was never a govt. intervention in the market. No matter what we are going into a hard recession. It could be hard and short or long and chronic. We are going to get the latter.

If bambi wins with his plans to punish the rich and big business don't expect an expansion any time soon. So in addition to making the recession long and chronic with bambi it will be deeper.

McCain still has a chance, but he's got to stop being nice to bambi.

[fightinJAG]

What does all that matter now?

You’re sitting here whining about how the first three quarters of the game was played while we should all be focused on the two-minute drill.

If there were a million people who can’t recognize a simple nod to civil discourse and fact-based public debate, and who don’t realize how the MSM was going to use such questions to trump up charges of “inciting violence” against our side, there are a lot of truly stupid people out there.

[fightinJAG]

Don’t let the facts get in your way.

[wmfights]

The only good I see coming out of the election is we got to know Sarah Palin--a breath of fresh air!

And the need for CLOSED primaries!

[ColdWater]

If there were a million people who can’t recognize a simple nod to civil discourse and fact-based public debate, and who don’t realize how the MSM was going to use such questions to trump up charges of “inciting violence” against our side, there are a lot of truly stupid people out there.

You have been suckered by the MSM.

McCain:

Specifically: "I have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States". This seemed to deflate some in the audience, and McCain was even booed for defending his opponent, but McCain explained in sensitive tones that Obama would be a fine president, but that he's running against Obama because of course, as a Republican, he thinks he'd be a much better one.

[wmfights]

Not only that, if you think a credit crisis that has been winding into a ball for about 8 years now is going to unraveled overnight, that's ignorant.

Actually you're wrong. Commercial lending and inter bank lending is now the problem. Even though the govt. has assured all the banks that it will resolve the mortgage backed problem the banks are not lending unless the business is very strong and they are not lending to each other because they are building their capital reserves.

It really isn't hard to see that this would happen regardless of how much money the govt. would throw at the problem. Banks are getting out of the secondary mortgage market and soon they will be pulling back on credit cards and student loans. As the bubble deflates individuals and businesses with great credit will not have a problem getting loans, but those that have anything questionable in their credit won't.

National primary day next time. The race was over by the time I got to vote. I vote for smaller, less intrusive government, and that’s all I vote for.

Same here too. By the time Virginia's primary came up, almost all the candidates had dropped out.

That said, I voted for the small-government Republican in the primary.

[rabscuttle385]

McCain was, is and never will be a conservative. His disdain for conservatives and conservatism is in front of everyone's face yet the unbridled fear of Obama masks it.

BUMP!!!

[rabscuttle385]

They are so busy trying to tackle our own quarterback to the ground in the last minutes of the game...

Tackling the quarterback is necessary because he keeps passing to the wrong team.

[rabscuttle385]

Quite a few anti-McCain articles, vanities are showing up and there is an anti-McCain ping list that is still going.

These are the real OBAMACONS, helping Obama, all in the name of conservatism. Disgusting.

You called?

Why is it that you have no problem with electing a "maverick" yet, when a conservative starts acting like a "maverick" you take total offense?

The Juan McCain Truth File. "I have great respect for Al Gore." —John McCain, October 2, 2008 FR Keywords: mccaintruthfile, mcqueeg, mcbama Please tag all relevant threads with the aforementioned keywords. This can be a very high-volume ping list at times. To join the ping list: FReepmail rabscuttle385 with the subject line add  mccaintruthfile. (Stop getting pings by sending the subject line drop mccaintruthfile.) Republican Commissar’s Warning: By joining this ping list, you may be subjected to the delusional rants and ramblings of McCainiacs, of "moderate" Republicans, of pragmatic conservatives resigned to voting for the lesser of two Democrats, and of countless GOP shills who simply want to meet a new overlord.

[rabscuttle385]

McCain's socialist leanings and his Republican primary success are not the disease. They are simply the symptoms of the disease.

Bump

[rabscuttle385]

One hopes that conservatives will refuse to become the Democrats’ “useful idiots”.

McCain the "maverick" is the Democrats' useful idiot.

[Ron H.]

Tackling the quarterback is necessary because he keeps passing to the wrong team.

Or for running the opposite direction on the playing field.

[BufordP]

Yep.

[Checkers]

McCain is a collaborator.

“These are the real OBAMACONS, helping Obama, all in the name of conservatism. Disgusting.”

The real Obamacons voted for McCain in the Promaries.
