Yup. Complete and absolute electoral annihilation, dead ahead.
Thanks, "moderates."
Thanks heaps and heaps and heaps.
Ping.
Flame away!!
John McCain is an idiot with a resume.
The founders would cringe at the state of this mess.
Every time I calm down and think I will actually Cast my Vote for McCain, he opens his mouth and I recoil again.
And he is not even running at this point....
Brit Hume did a report on how McCain trashed Conservatives again to get the Spanish vote.
He won't stop in that.
McCain is a conniving little weasel.
So who made McCain the king?
The answer has to be in that comment about "independents" and Democrats crossing over to push him forward in the early northern-state primaries. Those states usually vote Democratic, but here they are picking a Republican nominee.
Anyone else see a problem with that?
Like the author, I foresee a Democrat landslide (unless Obama's the nominee), carefully engineered over the last six or seven years by Dems in media and in Congress -- primarily the Clintons and their congressional Mephistophilis, Rahm Emanuel.
Which is what Rush and friends are trying to engineer with crossover voting in Democratic primaries (with credit to Markos Moulitsas of The Daily Kos, for popularizing the crossover-to-screw-with-them idea back during the Michigan primary).
Gay conservative Democrat Camille Paglia (who despite being "all that" manages to hold a civil conversation once a month over lunch with Rush Limbaugh) once described McCain as "positively bulging with protofascist impulses". With all his interventive, big-government enthusiasms, it seems she was certainly right.
I fault Arizona voters for returning him to office his last two terms, after they had plenty of chances to see how far to the left he'd swung. Twenty years ago, his ACU/ADA ratings were similar to those of his conservative junior colleague, John Kyl. Since about 1994 they have migrated steadily to the left, from the 80's on the ACU scale down to about 60.
I don't fault McCain for disagreeing with the Administration occasionally; I do myself. But I do fault him for abandoning his conservative base to play presidential patty-fingers with the Left, who are abusing him as a "useful idiot".
I think McCain's problem is basically that he's an impetuous airdale type who doesn't worry too much about things like thinking, and may not even have all the political candlepower that the job he's asking for requires. Remind you of anyone?
The part McCarthy leaves out is the damage done to America if either of the other 2 win. This idea of my way or the highway that many Conservatives have is both wrong headed and dangerous. Helping McCain to win and then trying to push him right or even trying to replace him in 2012 is far far more sensible then caving in and heading for the caves for the next 4-8 years.
This is soooooo true.
We really are screwed, unless of course God should see fit to replace McCain....
We will end up with two leftists running for President. I believe given that choice, the American people will eventually choose the democrat. The silver lining is that we should be able to save the Republican party and lead the fight against a leftist administration. If McCain were to win the GOP would be complicit in promoting a leftist agenda.
John McCain is not, that is, is not, a leftist.
Lies will not advance youe cause
Carnegie is in lock-step with the Council on Foreign Relations. (all Presidential candidates are members at CFR)
This McCarthy piece says it all. McCain needs to go at the convention.
I know too many people not interested in voting for him.
McCain is detestable and a fool like no other.
Yes, and by a strange coincidence, none of them are in lockstep with the U.S. Constitution.
Welcome to FR. What flavor Kool Aid do you drink?
Your post is typical of a McCainiac and has no merit to a conservative.
Thank you, Oh 4-Day Wonder.
