I’ve already dug a hole in the backhills and will be hunkering down for the next 4 years. Conservatism has died. This is too damn depressing.
The others are not worth fighting for. All beleive in global warmoing, all have flip flopped so dramatically on issues that I cannot trust them.
Stopping McCain is great. The problem is the alternatives.
I’m telling you. The bulk of Conservative support has died off.
Just compare how a liberal McGovern did against a milquetoast Nixon in 1972....37%
Then look at how much more support both Gore and Kerry got....48.4% and 48.4% respectively
I was born in 1957 and nearly all older folks from my parents and older were social conservatives even if yeller dog/dixiecrats
Those Dixiecrats formed what became the solid South for the GOP starting late 60s.
Meanwhile, most of the rest of the country except Indiana and a handful of mountain states have veered left to far left.
Look at the stats on how the post Boomers vote.
I can’t see how you can ascertain that demographics favor a serious conservative. As for GOP primary voters...the proof is in the pudding. They eschewed Duncan, Tanc, Fred and maybe even Romney or Huckie and are going for Mercuric McCain. They had several reasonable conservatives across the board and rejected them.
I’m 50, most folks I know under 45 here in Nashville (not Berkeley) are social moderates and can either way.
In my demographic.....white protestant southern male with family...i’d wager 85% are GOP but we’re dying off now.
“Stopping McCain is great. The problem is the alternatives.”
None of the alternatives, except Hillary are as bad as McCain. I’ll vote for Obama first.
We’re good at bitching.
I’d slit my throat before I voted for a communist b*tch like Obama. I just won’t be voting for McQueeg either.
So what do you want ???
You keep saying what you dont want...
But what do you want ???
Romney is buying the White house and trying to buy the country
He’s Mr Abortion on demand
No life long pro-lifer can stomach him
I’ve been beaten back the illegal alien hordes in other threads
You know I’ll do that ...
But we have been infiltrated by liberals who slander anyone who wont accept their putrid candidate...
Nobody gets helped by covering up Romney’s true record...
any more than changing McCains will make him suddenly a true patriot
In the commercials Mccain ran in FL, he mentioned his military and POW background..
It worked for him there, and he’ll try it in other states...
People have been swift-boated out...
They just think your exposure of his betrayal of his fellow POW’s
is like the “attack” on Kerry...
While the swift boat guys were telling the truth and
the story of McCain and his traitious activity is also true..
all patriotic American conservatives hear, is rhetoric equal to the Code Pinks...
If you can find another way to do it..
McCain-Fiengold means nothing to most people..
they dont follow the working of congress...
And the gang of 14 ???
they have their own gang warfare in the next street..
And then there’s all the charges of racist and anti-immigration,
and bigot that is thrown against those of us who are fighting
against illegal alien invasion
McCain is a hero...helping the helples, the down-trodden
those who hide in the shadows because AuntB hates them
And on and on infinitum
I’m listening to Dennis Pager on my computer and Rush
on the radio out in my living room
Dennis just said something that is important...
“If McCain wins, he will hold in his hands the furure of conservatism”
So fightening and yet pragmatic...
Has the death bell rung over
the conservative movement in America ???
“So what do you want ???”
It’s too late to get what I or you ‘want’, nana. The choice now is McCain or Romney, face that reality please. ANYONE but McCain. Pretending it’s other wise won’t do any of us any good, well, except John McCain, and I can’t believe that’s what you want.
Is this all about Mormon bigotry with you, nana? I find that hard to believe. You’d be surprised at the many good Mormon patriots on FR, some who you respect a lot. Mormons make good neighbors, I’ve been lucky enough to have them as some. I’m Baptist, but the bigotry shown by Huckabee and his supporters is as un American as it gets.
AuntB
That’s unfair... you know its not
It’s about his guastly liberal record
I fought against abortion before it was a popular issue with the conservatives..
It wasnt always consider Christian to object to the slaughter of innocent babies
Who do we have left in our line up that could be slightly to fairly palatable
There’s harmless Ron Paul who is a sweet man and an OB/GYN and never killed anyone
And then there’s Mike Huckabee, again a man who hasnt condone killing babies
(a dog or two and a squirrel...I guess that matters if you are a Card carrying member of PETA.. but no humans..)
You want me to support a guy who is repugnant to me...???
You think that is fair to me ???
John McCain is a Manchurian candidate ~ Wake Up America!!
Despite his flaws, Paul is by far the most conservative in the field. He is just an extremely poor communicator of those principles
____________________________________________________
Ive already voted for Duncan...
but if I had the hellacious decision that is facing so many good conservative voters, I would have to go with Ron Paul
I’m not happy with him but at least I could live with myself.....
After Paul, Huck
The other two....
How on earth did the Republican Party sink so low ?????
AuntB, I have followed & admired your posts for many weeks, months....
..but now you've thrown down the gauntlet to Nana, who I also respect.... Why are you guilt tripping her for your guy, Romney.
You did this to me the other day, and you got my response.
I would advise you to not start the 'bigot' routine just because Nana, or anyone else, doesn't want the guy!
I don't even know what kind of Mormon the man is....flip flopping like he does.
The Mormans I knew, and the ones next door to me, were pro-family, pro-life...
...This guy just discovered life begins at conception!
I will not vote for him....
..I will not vote for McCain...
I will not vote for Hillary
..I will not vote for Barack Hussein Obama (good mercy!)
I still HOPE God intervenes and someone else, someone we can respect, jumps in to a brokered convention.
Whether that happens or not, I will not be guilt slapped to vote against my conscience.
I live in what Bob Corker likes to call the most Republican county in TN
Our county was set to support FRed, Huck or Duncan
I agree with your post.
It would have been helpful if your candidate Hunter, even after dropping out, had not come out publicly against Romney and gone off the deep edge to endorse Huckabee.
All he did was help McCain and hurt Romney. Is Huckabee who you plan to vote for?
I hope it is Hamilton County?
Next door
Bradley
Neighbors :)
