You have every right to send your letter to the RNC, David Osborne. That First Amendment right is one of the many freedoms that John McCain fought to preserve. The fact is, though, that the RNC didn’t nominate John McCain as the GOP presidential candidate; the majority of the GOP primary voters did. If you feel comfortable about helping to put Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton into the Oval Office, then go for it. How much better it would have been, however, if you had put half the energy that you put into writing that letter into working for the nominee of your choice—unless, of course, that nominee is one of those two Democrats.
“...if you had put half the energy that you put into writing that letter into working for the nominee of your choice...”
David spent more time working for his conservative candidate than anyone I know — and that’s while he was serving in Iraq.
Except for that whole McCain/Feingold thing that takes away our civil right to free political speech 60 days before the election.
David was extremely involved working for his chosen candidate, Duncan Hunter.
If the Democrats win this election, those who foisted McCain on the rest of us will have to learn to live with their disatrous decision. There are many of us who will not be voting for McCain. I surely don’t want Obama or Clinton to get elected, but I hope McCain gets his @$$ kicked.
Usually new people aren’t so rude and mouthy.
You don’t know what anyone here has done for their candidate, and you aren’t going to get far around here with your pom-pom act for McCain.

John McCain, you treasonous....

I see that you are a long time FREEPER... /sarcasm>
I sent you a private reply which have not responded to so I am compelled to respond to your criticism publicly.
You obviously have no clue what FR is all about and WHO you are "preaching" to.... I suggest you take a few moments of your time to review some of my posts over the past several years before you decide to preach to me.....
FReegards,
David
YOu Diane, are inconsiderate and very rude. You haven’t a clue as to what you are talking about.
Its nice of you to allow this FReeper permission to send a letter to the RNC. /s
Geesh.
Dave, I also would rather it been someone else running on the Republican ticket. But it ain’t that way. A person with a more conservative record would have been my ideal. However John McCain is the man now and unless you wish to watch our country go down the drain, vote for him.
What YOU said.
Thank you for saying everything that was whirling around in my head as I was reading his ego-piece. You saved me the time it would've taken to get my thoughts together.
As for Osborne - he reminds me of the fly sitting on the hub of the chariot wheel who says: "Look. Look at all the dust I make!"
(Mr. O. The primary is over. The people voted. We have a candidate. We damn well better see he gets in. (I say "we", giving you the benefit of assuming you aren't really shilling for hitlery or obamama...which is sounds like.)
David put more effort than most I have seen into his support for Duncan Hunter (also my choice) last year.
He did this while working on the CPATT mission in Baghdad - the same one I'm on. I can vouch for the fact that the CPATT mission alone is extremely time-consuming and can be exhausting.
I wouldn't be so hasty in judging David's motivations and dedication.
I also don't think a U.S. soldier needs anyone's permission to exercise his First Amendment rights.
I don’t know what you are crying about or what your problem with David is. If it is him not supporting Mc Cain, you solved your own problem. As you so eloquently stated,the majority of GOP voters nominated Mc Cain. Let them elect him. Problem solved.
Most, if not all, of the folks on this thread won’t vote for Senator McCain, no matter what.
Whether or not I will vote for McCain depends on who he picks as a running mate. If he doesn’t pick a TRUE conservative running mate, it shows conservatives that he isn’t even TRYING to reach out to them, as he promised at C-PAC, so then I’ll vote 3rd party.
I was watching FoxNews Sunday, and a few names mentioned were Pawlenty, who is way too liberal for me, and Charlie Crist, who is EXTREMELY liberal, and an awful man, and I can tell you why, if you’re interested.
But I was happy to hear that Rob Portman’s name was mentioned, who is conservative, and a nice pro-family guy.
I also really like Gov. Bobby Jindal and Sen. John Thune, and my favorite would be DUNCAN HUNTER (but I don’t think McCain would pick him).
ROFL!! You’re joking right? You really oughta check someone’s posts in forum before going off half-cocked like that.
Diane, you are new here. You should not make statements until you KNOW things.
BS! The GOP is responsible for McManiac being where he is. If you don’t think they did everything they could to eliminate his competitors, and schmooze other party loyalists to support him, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Az. for you.
Listen, come here and ask us to vote for him, fine. But, please, do not come here and give us that “if you don’t vote for him, you’re putting O or H in office” crap. That’s bull, and you know it.
Take your DU/kindergarten tactics to alt.politics.republican, I’m sure they’re buying bull manure right about now.
If you want us who disdain the man to vote for him, you’re gonna need to get him to make us some promises. Otherwise, he’s in for a shellacking that’ll make ‘06 look like a squeeker.
G.O.P.=Gerrymandered Obstructionist Politics.
John, John...at least sign up under a male name. Otherwise we'll think you're drooling at 3 AM making such absurd posts, sitting alongside Mr. Feingold.
“That First Amendment right is one of the many freedoms that John McCain fought to preserve.”
Unless of course one reads and understand McCain/Feingold.
Next you will tell us how he fought to preserve the rule of law and the sovereignty of these United States, LOL!
