The democrats fought Presidential appointments several years before Bork and even while McCain was in Vietnam. They heavily fought some of Nixon's Supreme Court appointments.

For some reason, despite the malcontent actions by leftists, many Republicans roll over and surrender when the democrats nominate a judicial appointee. I do not believe it to be a Constitutional belief, but the actions of weak kneed surrender monkeys. Thank God Jesse Helms fought them, but he had little support.

McCain may very well have killed off the GOP for good.

McCain is Obama in slow motion he believes the same drivel the Dubmcrats do. He just does not have the nerve to say it but his actions scream it!!!

All of his good friends across the aisle are very grateful for it too.

I can assure you that the vaunted Tea Party has zero chance of winning.

I stand by my statement. Justifying not voting, based on what you said, is foolish.

You gambled with everyone’s freedom, and you gambled with our future. And you believe all this tyranny will not affect you or touch you? Why? Because you live in Texas? You are, if not a fool, fooling yourself.

Can you name three true Conservatives in the Republican party? Listening to the posts on FR there are few, if any.

No third party will take the Whitehouse.

Both M. Romney and M. Huckabee would have been better than the trio of J. McCain, B. Obama, and Hillary Clinton. Neither Romney nor Huckabee is that much into a love fest with illegal aliens and amnesty. Neither Romney nor Huckabee have left their wives for the mistress. Neither Romney nor Huckabee are as unstable and talk to themselves while on camera.

McCain and his Cindy are like borderline senile Boris and Natasha. Just take a look at Cindy and daughter posing with tape across their mouths. Yuck!

We could have survived Romney and Huckabee much better than we can Obama and McCain.

I don’t care what you stand by....The fact is this country has woke up to the likes of Obama and McCain and is in the process of a monumental leap forward. And it would not have happened if folks like you had continued to elect the lesser of two evils. We had eight years of Geo. Bush and he got an entirely new entitlement program that we can’t fund. When will enough be enough for you. If you are not for a conservative then you are the one who is foolish. A half ass liberal isn’t any better than a whole liberal...just slower!!!

Personally, I saw the tide early on. Obama was going to overtake Hillary back when Hillary had the media amen chorus and when it was time for my state to have its primary, McCain had all but wrapped up the GOP nomination so I crossed the aisle, held my nose, and voted for Obama over Hillary. It was exactly the opposite of what Rush was asking listeners to do.

Why did I do it? Because I knew under McCain, we’d get 60% of Obama’s socialism but with a Republican label. Under Hillary, we’d get 90% of Obama’s socialism but with Slick and Eva Braun running the show, it would have been packaged and sold far better and been harder to defeat.

While Obama was the most objectionable of the three, I knew he would overplay his hand like the egotistical rookie that he is. And while it would suck big-time to live under Obama’s socialism, the GOP would coalesce to fight him and he would ultimately cause a massive shift against his policies.

In the general election, I didn’t vote for either McCain or Obama. It wouldn’t have mattered as my state would have backed McCain over a Muslim socialist anyway so I was free to vote my conscience (Constitution Party).

But, thanks to Obama, we now have tea parties and throw-the-bums-out marches that we wouldn’t have had under McCain or the Clintons. Something ironic about the Community Organizer In Chief causing the citizenry en masse to organize against him.

Of course I voted for McCain and regardless of how much I despise him, no matter who else was on the ticket, I would do it again. I will never sit home and not let my vote count. That’s how we got Fidel the 2nd in the WH now.

What makes you think all the people who stayed home would have voted for McCain. Some of the independents if forced to vote would have voted for Obama.

I despise McCain, but I did vote for him and Palin.

So, a few folks on FR are not to blame when McLame lost by millions of votes.
