And you can drop that 'my friend' garbage, you're no friend of mine.

Tell it to McCain, my friend, it is his favorite phrase, and if you are truly a conservative, he is no friend of yours.

So why don't you man up, and stick to your self-declared conservative principles.

I'm doing exactly what Ronald Reagan would tell me to do, which is to NOT allow a left wing ideologue like Barack Obama gain the White House, and that means voting for the only ticket that has a prayer of stopping him.

So who are YOU voting for? Obama, or some third party loser like Bob Barr?

And Duncan Hunter will be supporting the McCain/Palin ticket, without reservations and without pre-conditions. As for 'pathetic', what is truly pathetic is you (and others of your ilk) who would prefer to backstab the only chance our Republic has for turning back the threat of Obama Marxism with your whining and nagging about McCain-this, and McCain-that. I don't like McCain's positions on many issues, but he's the only candidate out there that has a shot at stopping the 'Rats, and I'll support him because the alternative is far worse, and I'll not hide behind some fake conservative purist clap-trap that does nothing except undercut what SHOULD be every conservative's goal: stopping Obama and the leftists from seizing control of the Executive Branch. What part of that don't you understand?

What is truly pathetic is your sophmoric attempt at shutting down the discussion concerning McCain's wrong-headed positions on several issues near and dear to conservatives by using the evil tactics of the left like name-calling and smearing conservatives by calling them Obama supporters or declaring they might as well be voting for Obama if they keep fighting for thier principles.

Argue the issues and leave the DU tactics for lefties.

I dare say that Duncan Hunter would be apprecative of your approach.

McCain actually has a good chance of defeating the 'Rat ticket this year, which means the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend', you on the other hand are just another 'my-way-or-the-highway' type who whines, makes lots of noise, but in the end: contributes nothing.

“Mccain’s campaign advisers talked him OUT of selecting Lieberman, his real choice”

Where is your source for this?

Every McCain sneer and smear you publish serves only one purpose, which is to give aid and comfort to our enemies.

So who ARE you voting for Doug?

No you're not.

Reagan was death on letting the moderate and left-wing parts of the party take control. He stated this many times in the clearest language possible.

And concerning my vote, I still have not made up my mind like many other freepers.

That is up to John McCain and whether or not he decides to represent me as a conservative and drop the Amnesty garbage, Carbon cap-and-trade system garbage and his support for Embryonic stem-cell research(AKA Murder of unborn children).

And finally, my friend, as Reagan would say, there you go again with that scurrilous approach of baiting conservatives with the "Who you gonna vote for, Obama?" garbage.

You may be older than dirt, but you really need to grow up.

You, my friend, are no conservative as shown by your continual use of left-wing tactics.

What you falsely label sneer and smear, are the FACTS of McCain's history and his choices.

Good. Put up a Obama/Biden yard sign. People will see this, and see the ‘legalize it’ bumper sticker on you car, and will connect the two. Then they’ll think Obama is some fool who wants to legalize controlled substances.

Once again, falsely labeling stating the FACTS about John McCain as trashing John McCain.

Only John McCain can undue what you are calling "trashing" by changing his positions on those issues where he has taken a non-conservative position.

Talk to John McCain if you want the "trashing" to stop.

It ain't garbage when it's true.

Those are the choices before us. You can wring your hands and pontificate and spout off ideological purity until the cows comes home, but on November 4th, you have to make a choice.

Ronald Reagan made that choice on Election Day 1976, and pulled the lever for Gerald Ford. You think you're more ideologically pure than the Gipper?

Go screw yourself.

Your making false claims about me, does not make it so. As a matter of fact, that tactic comes right out of the Alinsky playbook, you've met the enemy, and he is you.

What you falsely label sneer and smear, are the FACTS of McCain's history and his choices.

The American Conservative Union gives McCain a lifetime rating of 82.3 percent. Find me another candidate with a shot at beating Obama with better credentials, and I'll personally drive you to the polling place, vote with you, and wax your car.

“What world do you live in?”

I live in a world where troofers like Chuck Baldwin’s poll numbers are so low, nobody even bothers talking about them. Does that make you grumpy?

“silence Conservatives..”

Speaking of conservatism, do you support McCain’s positions on foreign policy or Obama’s positions?

(Hey, I’ve got an idea for you, whenever someone challenges your nonsense, pretend they are trying to challenge your right to free speech and call them sheep. Oh wait, I see you already have those foolish tactics down pat.)

Nope, you're wrong there. There are other choices, including other more conservative candidates, writing the name of an actual conservative, or not voting at the presidential level.

And finally, there is the one thing that should happen, John McCain should do the right thing and drop his Amnesty plans, drop his Carbon Cap-and-Trade Implementation plans, and drop his support for Embryonic Stem Cell research and then I will happily pull the lever for John McCain, donate all the spare money i have to his campaign, and donate all the spare time I have to his campaign as well.

All he has to do is do the principled, moral, and ethical things I have mentioned, and he will have my undying support, but not a moment before that.

And none of your sophmoric behavior, your badgering, your falsely labeling me is going to change that.

Welcome to America, my friend, where we, as the founders posited and recommended that we do, can vote our principles.

“Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.”

A good point, and that’s why we need McCain, the only candidate with sound foreign policy positions, unlike isolationist canidates like Obama, Baldwin, and Paul. We adopted an isolationist foreign policy stance in the ‘30s. How’d that work out?

All of those futile gestures are guaranteed to accomplish nothing except to increase the overall vote total for Obama-Biden on November 4th.

How about that Reagan '11th Commandment'? Oh right, you're not in the 4th grade yet, let me know when you get there and we'll talk about that.

What you forgot to mention is that his numbers and average used to be in the high 90's, until he started trending leftwared with his support of Illegal Aliens, Amnesty, Global Warming legislation, voting against tax cuts (Called them tax-cuts for the rich, no less), etc., etc., etc.

What you also forgot to mention was that he only got a 65 from the ACU in 2006 and in 2007 he managed to get an 83 by missing over half of the votes, many of which, if he had voted, given his current position on the issues, would have dropped that 83 to a number south of 65.

Hey, but who's really paying attention to the facts, right?

“That leaves us free to speak our mind and be HONEST...”

Speaking of honesty, weren’t you the guy running around accusing McCain of leaking classified intel? What happened to that accusation?
