For those who missed it A long time GOPer came up with the following line:
I could see that being a FREEPER war cry!
The caller wasn’t comparing McCain’s acts with Benedict Arnold’s as being on the same level. (FWIW she was paraphrasing Thomas Sowell) The point was that previous patriotism in service of the country doesn’t negate current acts of sabotage of one’s country. Anyone who can’t see how thoroughly McCain has sabotaged American interests and the Constitution isn’t paying attention or doesn’t want to.
I agree.
But over-the-top hyperbole just negates our message.
There’s a ton of substantive stuff to re-visit about McCain’s senatorial record. Tons of stuff.
There is nothing to be gained from trying to get into splitting hairs once we breath the name Benedict Arnold in the same breath as we’re discussing McCain.
Wow. 3C: What a complement!
Feel better? I would be interested in discussing his pardons with you but unfortunately my neck hurts from all the turning the other cheek that I have been doing lately.
It is lunacy time on FR please stop using facts and logic.
i am sure he will post that exchange, and the caller was great!
In Rush’s closing show to-day, he says he will replay the call on tomorrows show. I will be listening to hear it again!!!
How would he handle being tortured for 5 years.
We might be asking you this question, if McCain gains the White House??
My own point was that it is precisely John McCain's record outside of his admirable military service that is his problem. He has become progressively more liberal with time (not just last year), and has almost made a career out of dumping on his fellow Republicans. That's why the media loves him - at least for now.
McCain must know how this works by now: when the media need you, you're a "maverick", an "independent" and a "free thinker"; when they're finished with you, you're simply "unprincipled" and untrustworthy".
I agree. People that do not live in a border state or an area that is heavily populated with border jumpers do not realize that we are losing the battle to keep our country and that amnesty/open borders proponents are essentially traitors.
Conversation overheard between 2 hispanic dudes:
First dude says, "You know what I like best about the Miami area?"
Second dude, "No, what?"
First dude, "It's so close to the United States!"
That actaully made me laugh, LOL.
Oh, McCain is a backstabber (many levels away from Benedict Arnold and traitor), and the media is going to turn on him when it becomes a two person race, just as you said.
