You see, the problem is McCain really doesn’t like us. To a large degree he’s bought into the moonbat caricature of conservatives, thinking we’re bigots and yahoos who lack hearts. But he’s figured out a way to deal with us. He’s going to throw us some red meat during the campaign; he’ll give us some lip service when he has to and once he placates us enough that we vote him into office, he’s stubbornly going to go right back to what he wants to do. You can do that sort of thing and keep a clear conscience when you’re doing it to people you don’t respect, I guess. More . . .

McCain’s lip service, to me, is better than living under a president barry’s socialist country. We Republicans had better come to grips with what will be if barry is elected. There are a lot of issues that I disagree with McCain on, but better the devil you know than the one you don’t.
Do you think Sen. McCain meeting with the Rev. Billy Graham over the weekend part of his message that he is not into me — a conservative Christian man?
Actually, I don’t think McInsane (or McNasty, depending upon who is describing him) likes ANYBODY.
But the alternative is ever so MUCH worse...
His bone will have to be the Vice Presidency. Choose a moderate and he will lose. He needs us, even if he doesn’t like us.
My voting strategy for November...
I dislike McCain
I despise Barack
Not very appetizing, but making the best of a bad bargain.
Right, politicians never pander for votes. Especially McCain.
We pretty well know what a President Obama will do.
We don’t have a clue what a President McCain will do.
And that is to McCain’s detriment — he is not trustworthy.
He signaled he would not push amnesty. Then, he meets with Hispanic groups and promises he will push for amnesty.
He signaled he would appoint Alito-Roberts type Justices. Then, he states proudly that he voted for Ginsberg and Breyer.
So, do you: Go with the devil you know or the devil you don’t know?
He’ll nominate SCOTUS justices like Alito-Roberts who will strike down his most notable legislative achievements??? (McCain-Feingold): the irony is too delicious.
Kerry could lend both of these guys his flip-flops for the next few months
I don’t know, you don’t make a very convincing argument for why people should bother to get out of bed on election day. It’s depressing. I just listened to McCain’s talk about how illegal immigrants are God’s Children. I don’t know about you, but when my kids are being bad I don’t make a point of telling them how despite their naughty behavior they are still my babies. That’s just dysfunctional, I don’t see how people can respect John McCain. He seems like an idiot with not a lot of insight.
He doesn’t have my vote.
McCain’s base has relocated and his TACAN can’t lock in on it. He will crash another plane flying around looking for it and his fuel runs out!
W was chosen over McCain 8 years ago. It was not a mistake.
The “the alternative is worse” mantra isn’t working on many of us. As I see it the alternative is the same, just wearing a different uniform. McCain loves big government, Obama loves big government - either way the election goes we are going to get big government, increased federal spending, more government regulation, more assaults on our individual liberty and continued devaluation of the dollar.
Either way we are in serious trouble.
Yes, but, no one is really for McPain. We are just AGAINST Oprah’s Obama. He knows that.
I'm an old observer of the actions of John McQueeg, and the only thing I can say about the Veep thing is that his choice will probably P*** us off.
All true, we are doomed. Many resent Oprah’s Obama being a heavy favorite for President when he has less experience than the “inexperienced” Dan Quayle had for vice president.

Something I wrote on Feb. 2, 2008. Sounds familiar.
As for me...I'm going with McCain, as long as he picks a Veep I can live with. Then, after living a full live and achieving his life's ambition I hope that McCain will have the decency to die peacefully in his sleep sometime very soon after the inauguration. It's the only hope we have.
I don’t vote for statists. I vote for small government constitutionalists.
I despise McCain for appeasing liberals and I despise Obama for even being one. Kind of a tough choice but I’m leaning toward the appeaser.
OK, I was impressed with myself when I saw Ben Gingsberg last night say kind of what I posted a day or two ago:
With the democratic senate true conservative judges will NOT get confirmed anyway (I don’t trust mccain to even nominate them).
Also, the two judges most likely to leave are very liberal, so even if the senate confirmed them it would be a wash.
There is nothing to convince me to vote mccain. If Mitt is his VP choice I will play the mccain might not live card and vote for him.
At least Bambi is running as a liberal democrat, which is what mccain would be doing if he were honest.
My voting strategy for November...I dislike McCain
I despise Barack
Not very appetizing, but making the best of a bad bargain.
Or to set forth another way...
...The lessor of two evils is still evil
but better the devil you know than the one you don’t.
I agree. Many issues I don’t agree on with McC but anything is better the socialist country the USA is headed for under Omamma.
The problem is that he likes the fact that he may be president, too much.
And that is to McCain’s detriment — he is not trustworthy.
....
So, do you: Go with the devil you know or the devil you don’t know?

Oh, but we do know what MacCain will do. If you want to know what anyone will do, study his past. (That's the whole point behind studying history...be it a prospective hiree's employment history, world history or a company's performance history.)
MacCain will do precisely what he's done for his entire political career: betray his base and sell out to the political opposition for his own gain. He's done it again and again and again. If he becomes President, he'll do exactly the same.
Republicans are a self-important lot. They think they need to vote for the RINO relic to save the world from Barry. Barry ain’t no saviour for the moonbats and the RINO relic is no savior for Republicans. As a conservative, I understand my vote means nothing to the RINO relic. I think he can win by throwing conservatives under the bus which he has. Conservatives are not going to win or lose this election for the Keating Five Guy. His best chance is to follow his heart this time instead of flirting and teasing with Puff and the Democrats. Name Lieberman his running mate, and formalize what many of us already know, this election is no more than run-off in the Democrat primary between the an anti-war Democrat in Barry and a pro-war Democrat in the intemperate old geezer.
I won't be surprised if McCain figures like his mother says that all conservatives will hold their noses and march down to the polling place and vote for him, so he'll pick Carly Fiorina or the broad from eBay as his VP and make a big play for the Hillary feminazi vote.
Certainly...I’m not happy about it either.
What a coincidence, I’m not that ‘in to’ McCain either.
