Democrats who may vote McCain

The Chicago Daily Herald ^ | May 10, 2008 | Ed and Linda Colaprete

We are part of the many Democrats that will definitely vote for John McCain if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination to run for president.

We would love to have our economy and national image restored to at least what it was during the Clinton years of presidency, but Barack Obama is not the answer.

Obama speaks politics and not what he believes. He only says what he must to win.

Actions speak louder than words. He does not respect America -- won't wear a flag on his lapel, won't put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance and has been associated with some unsavory figures.

Where does his vast campaign money come from? One can only imagine. Hillary Clinton had to add to her campaign with her own money, which shows strength of character and determination in being what she believes and knows this country needs.

Do we vote for a president with a Rhodes Scholar influence or a president with prejudice and radical issues pressuring and surrounding him?

Although, John McCain is a Republican, he has some Democratic supporters and is almost like an independent.

He knows the mistakes President Bush has made and, I believe, he also has what it takes to recover from the worst presidency of our lifetime.

We would prefer to have the Democrats back in office, but not with Barack Obama as president. We will support Hillary Clinton and if that's not possible, then our votes will go for John McCain.

Our belief and hearts desire is to have a Democrat as president. So please help me to influence the remaining superdelegates in the remaining states to vote for Hillary Clinton.

This from Obama's home state!

[Question Liberal Authority]

There are more Democrats who will vote McCain than there are Republicans who will vote Obama.

The question is- how many Republicans will vote for McCain, and how many dead, illegal and non-existent people will vote for Obama?

[Mark]

I think a lot will have to do with the VP pick from McCain.

[RoseofTexas]

This should scary the crap outta of us and go VOTE for the lesser of two evils and that one is McRINO! I’d rather have a RINO than a LOVING terrorist muslim in OUR WH!!

[padre35]

We must wait for the WVa and KY elections to really get a feeling for the trend, but right now it appears White Male Dhimmicrats and perhaps Senior Citizens and the normally reliably Dhimmicratic Jewish vote.

[stravinskyrules]

I believe, he also has what it takes to recover from the worst presidency of our lifetime.

So ill conceived it's astonishing.

[ASA Vet]

I think a lot will have to do with the VP pick from McCain.

I don't think I've ever actually heard a Republican say they voted for the ticket because of the VP pick.
Has anyone here really heard such a claim?

[KTM rider]

The Bean Pie salesman Obama has a hard sell ahead

[stravinskyrules]

The question is- how many Republicans will vote for McCain, and how many dead, illegal and non-existent people will vote for Obama?

The ones who have their heads stuck in the abortion rabbit hole will be awaiting the VP pick. THe immigration fetishists will be voting for Paul or Barr.

McNut's got some tough sledding.

[cripplecreek]

I wouldn’t. After all McQueeg has a history of doing whatever the hell he wants. Only an idiot would believe that his VP choice would have even the slightest influence on McCain policy.

[Alter Kaker]

Do we vote for a president with a Rhodes Scholar influence or a president with prejudice and radical issues pressuring and surrounding him?

This sentence is not written in English.

[Mark]

No, I meant that if he were to pick a very liberal idiot, then his chances are much slimmer. At his age, the VP slot means something.

[Red Steel]

He knows the mistakes President Bush has made and, I believe, he also has what it takes to recover from the worst presidency of our lifetime.

Oh, I thought Nixon was the worst president in lifetime?
Oh wait, I thought Reagan was the worst president in our lifetime?
Oh wait again, I thought Bush I was the worst president in our lifetime?

Oh the confusion!

[NoobRep]

I always find it funny to hear people say GW Bush is the worst President blah blah...Jimmy Carter was thought by the British intelligencia to be a Russian spy. Its not even close.

[gorush]

"The question is- how many Republicans will vote for McCain"

Many Republicans will vote for McCain, but few conservatives will.

[Hazwaste]

Jimmy Carter was thought by the British intelligencia to be a Russian spy.

Yes, but to a Demoncrat that is not a disqualifying characteristic.

[EDINVA]

There was a reason Reagan chose Bush 41 as his VP, and it was not that they were politically simpatico through the primaries. He chose him to keep the moderate Republicans on board.

[calcowgirl]

Ed Colaprete, Chairman, Colonial Region Republican Committee
and once member of the Rudy Giuliani campaign leadership team.

[SoConPubbie]

You are correct!

The real question is are there enough dis-enfranchised Democrats voting for McCain to replace the dis-enfranchised conservatives who won’t be voting for McCain.

Too bad we don’t have a true Republican Leader, but a Pandering, calculating politician who is mostly concerned with his desire to be President in McCain.

[lesser_satan]

Well you’re going to hear it straight form the horse’s mouth right now. If he picks Huckabee, Graham, Hegel, Lieberman, or any other liberal, I won’t vote for him. It’s hard enough for me to swallow this pill the way it is. Wrapping it in barbed wire with some worse-than-worthless VP will make it impossible.

[libbylu]

No, but I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain did not live through his first term, no offense to anyone, regardless his mother, i don’t think there is longevity on the paternal side of the family and I frankly think he is showing signs of dementia. So a VP might make me vote for him, and a VP might make me throw up and right in someone.

[calcowgirl]

See my post above.

What we have here are Republicans posing as Democrats voting as Republicans.

LOL

[ncalburt]

I hear ya

[Hildy]

that’s the new talking point..just another quick anecdote...today at our mother’s day celebration, the mother of a friend, a lifelong Democrat, told us that for the first time in her life, she’ll be voting for a republican.

[ncalburt]

That is there mistake . Letting a Soros Marxist have control over all three branches of govt and three supreme court picks. The horror of that situation which would destroy this country in our life time.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Nice catch! So Ed and his wife are playing a little Operation Chaos on their own, you think?! LOL

[aliquando]

Where the hell is there one real Republican who will vote for Obama? I have yet to find one.

[gorush]

The destruction has already occurred, the Constitution is meaningless and the die is cast...

[aliquando]

I agree. If we can get a real conservative in as VP, I see this as a major plus. I honestly do not think McCain will see the end of one term. I am not trying to be morbid, just realistic. (well, maybe a little vulture - like.)

[montag813]

Most middle class white Democrats I have spoken to have told me they won’t vote for Obama either because “He’s a Muslim”, “his wife is not patriotic”, or as one pizza parlor worker told me yesterday “He’s like Al Sharpton with a law degree”.

[montag813]

Where the hell is there one real Republican who will vote for Obama? I have yet to find one.

Obamacans. The most laughably absurd invention of the MSM in a year of many such absurd inventions (Obama = JFK, Obama not present for any Wright sermon in 20 years, people actually fainting at Obama rallies, etc).

[ncalburt]

What the heck are you ranting about ?
Time to grow up. McCain was not everyones first choice but he is not a stark raving mad Marxist that you McCain haters idiots want to give control over all three branches of gov't and maybe three supreme courts picks.Bush's poor PR abilities and new tone which allowed the Dems and Dem media trash the Repubs for 8 year with no responses for the WH, and the head of the Repub party. Thus, McCain is the only Repub that can win the WH this year . He somehow distance himself from Bush enough to not be dragged down by the new tone stupidity ! Your non stop McCain hater is irrational and making you look like a deeply embedded DU operative.

[ncalburt]

Please stop the crap. McCain is not a anti American , anti military , anti life , and Hamas supporter like Obama . Your responses is pure BS. You have lost it .

[calcowgirl]

I didn’t rant about anything... but you sure did! Whew!

Take two aspirin and put some ice on it.

Your name isn’t Colaprete, now is it? LOL.

[karnage]

Touche!

Wow, you got slimed with three of the most usual aspersions that the McCainiacs throw at conservatives and all in one post:

1. Grow up
2. McCain Haters
3. You are a DU Operative

Looks like their non-stop campaign to make McCain look like a conservative and not that bad of a Republican is starting to break up if they are only left with this kind of dishonest response.

BTW, in case you are confused, this is a conservative site and we here are conservatives first, and GOP members second and only when their agenda and their candidate's agenda actually line up with the conservative agenda.

Just trying to give you a clue since you seem to be without one.

[SoConPubbie]

That is there mistake . Letting a Soros Marxist have control over all three branches of govt and three supreme court picks.

And yet McCain has also been funded by Soros for some time now in his foundation.

[Mark]

I just wonder who 90% of our troops want to see as CIC in this next election? As Algore would say, “ The debate is over”.

[calcowgirl]

The funny part is, I didn’t say anything about McCain. The article posted in the thread was so pathetically transparent, I just outed the authors as not the ‘loyal democrats’ they puported to be, but instead Republican McCain supporters and campaign hacks.

The quality of McCain’s team leaves a bit to be desired. You just can’t hire good help these days, I guess. Picking up leftovers from the inept Giuliani campaign is probably not a plus. ;-)

[SoConPubbie]

Please stop the crap. McCain is not a anti American , anti military , anti life , and Hamas supporter like Obama . Your responses is pure BS. You have lost it .

And yet McCain supports Embryonic Stem-Cell Research and wants to water down the Pro-Life plank of the party because he thinks it is too extremist (See Here and Here and Here).

I guess with McCain, a little bit of Murder is OK.

your response, my friend, is pure BS.

[dayglored]

Calm down, you sound like you're the ranting raving idiot, not calcowgirl.

Oh, and Welcome to FreeRepublic, ncalburt 2008-01-27.

[montag813]

The quality of McCain’s team leaves a bit to be desired.

Does McCain still have that Democrat shitbag Mark McKinnon as his media guru? The one who said he would never use negative ads against Obama?

[dayglored]

> BTW, in case you are confused, this is a conservative site and we here are conservatives first, and GOP members second and only when their agenda and their candidate's agenda actually line up with the conservative agenda.

Right on.

> Just trying to give you a clue since you seem to be without one.

Give him time. He's only been here a couple months. Good clues take time to develop. ;-)

[dayglored]

Re your tagline: "GOP: If you reward bad behavior all you get is more bad behavior."

That is precisely correct.

Friend of mine used to say, "I eventually wised up and stopped voting for any of these damn politicians. Finally figured out, all it does is encourage the SOBs."

Moral: Vote only for the ones you want to encourage.

[exit82]

On the contrary, Calcowgirl makes more sense than almost all of the McCainiacs put together here.

Besides, you having been here a whole 3.5 months makes me wonder if you might be a deeply embedded McCain operative.

Don’t be so quick to throw stones, skippy.

If you’re so worried about Obama taking the oath on 1/20/09, ask yourself why are we running McLoser in this race?

I sure as heck am, and am asking the GOP to get another horse to run at the convention. McCain will be our version of Dukakis when the electoral votes are tallied.

McAmnesty has clearly telegraphed that he doesn’t give a hoot about ANY conservative issues.

You can be a charter member of the McStupid Stockholm Syndrome Sisters if you like, but don’t criticize the rest of us for not totally leaving our principles because of the GOP doesn’t give a crap about this country anymore.

[SoConPubbie]

I just wonder who 90% of our troops want to see as CIC in this next election? As Algore would say, “ The debate is over”.

Not for conservatives that care about their country and their party it isn't.

If McCain becomes President, he has promised he will provide Amnesty (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) for 20-40 million+ plus Hispanic Illegal Aliens.

The Legal Hispanic voting block has been voting 65%+ for Democrats forever even after President Reagan granted Amnesty in 1986.

As a result of McCain granting Amnesty and making American citizens of these criminal Illegal Aliens, millions of new democrat voters will be dumped into the American electorate completely erasing the razor-thin margins that the GOP has used to win elections in the last several election cycles.

This action by McCain, all by itself, will guarantee MINORITY STATUS for the GOP for decades to come because there will be simply too many Democrats voting.

Furthermore, millions of Conservatives/libetarians(small l) that have been reliable and consistent Republican supporters will either leave the party or simply check out of the process because they will have suffered the last stab-in-the-back from McCain that they can take.

This will further compound the imbalance of Republican to Democrat voters.

All of this does not take into consideration the other left-wing acts of McCain that will happen such as his desire to institute a Carbon Cap-and-Trade system that will destroy our economy because he has stated that the science surrounding the Global Warming Scam has been settled.


On top of all of this, if McCain is elected, the GOP will go along with pretty much every left-wing thing McCain will try to push because he is a Republican (if you don't believe me, just see how Congress has pretty much gone along with whatever GWB has proposed whether it was good or bad). And since McCain is always trying to compromise with his left-wing friends you can bet they will try and push the envelope and put as many left-wing bills on his desk to sign.

Now, on the other hand, if there is a Democrat President, the GOP members in congress will all of a sudden get a backbone and will fight everything the rats try to push through congress.

The nation will get to see how bad the Democrats are guaranteeing a GOP reversal of fortune in 2012 and our Party will not be moved to the left by John McCain.


I don't know about you, however, I think Minority Status for decades for the GOP is much worse for our troops than one term of more-or-less gridlock.

[latina4dubya]

i know that my parents and brothers and sisters and in-laws are wanting to vote for Hillary... and if she is not the nominee, they say they are voting for McCain... they will not vote for Obama... they are all pretty bummed that Hillary’s chances look so bad... none of them have ever voted for a Republican...

[stravinskyrules]

Well, they had already determined he was going to be the “worst” president just after the 2000 election.....just to ease the pain and justify their support of the loser Algore.

[cmotormac44]

Don’t forget we would get his whiney, white man is at fault for everything, wife-—I cannot even imagine her a ‘first lady’?
