Can you summarize what you’re trying to say in like two or three sentences?

Here’s mine:

John McCain could never convince me to vote for him, Obama and Hillary are causing me to vote for him-—Thomas Sowell

McCain thinks he can do this because he has the southern conservatives and Republicans ‘on his side’. In this, he is wrong and he will lose. And all optimistic suppositions about strategy, negatives for Hillary, negatives for Obama, states won/lost, who’ll cave, etc., h\e won’t get back enough of them to get the edge over the Democrat nominee......He won’t win because he isn’t a Republican.

i’ll be flamed here. But from day one I have said there is no condition at all that I can vote for Admiral McCain’s (an honorable man)snot nosed, dirtbag son johnny.

Yeah johnnu was a spoiled Admirals kid ... we (Navy JO’s) baby sat him in the navy ... he’s never changed. He needs a babysitter now. Tantrums if he didn’t get his way as an ensign, even at the bottom of his class, he was tantrum bound.

America does not need to babysit him. Americas need leadership and integrity. Something little johnny never understood.

I haven’t donated to McCain as yet. Was going to but not this week. I’m furious with his slander of the federal response to Katrina. Crybaby Blanco and Tantrum Nagin should be shot for their gross negligence and incompetence in the face of an emergency.

I actually just donated to the NC-GOP to keep the ad on and as a statement against Johnny M.

I got a questionaire yesterday from the RNC. This was fiona what’s her name.

They gave me a list of issues and wanted to know what my feelings were on them.

Illegal immigration wasn’t even on the menu.

I emailed them back and told them they were rat’s ass crazy.

Likely it didn’t compute.

The McCain people are bent on suborning american soveignty to the NAU and swamping the country with illegals in the name of free flow of workers. Rich republicans will get cheap labor. Rich democrats will get cheap votes. The tax payers will get the bill.

Hear, hear!

When Clinton and Obama speak, it makes me want to vote for McCain. When McCain speaks, it makes me not want to.

I agree with you and the venerable Thomas Sowell.

(I wish Fred was still in the race!)

I have never considered that I would vote for him. I’ll go third-party if I can find someone with a majority of issues in which I believe. If I don’t, I’ll write someone in. I don’t waste my vote by voting for people I don’t support.

Duncan Hunter was definitely a class act and always said thank you for every donation we sent him! Comparison and contrast. Who would you rather listen to for 4 years? America hating McCain or America loving Duncan Hunter?

Unfortunately, you’re more correct than not. Whatever hopes I had that he would at least give the appearance of moving a smidge to the right, have been dashed by his response to the ad, on top of his response to Bill Cunningham and all the other issues on which he’s disappointed us. As his peculiar approach to a campaign unfolds, I am beginning to see him as a naive, political idiot.

I was all over the map trying to figure out what to do in November.

Try as I might, I just can’t bring myself to commit to McCain.

I might just have to be one of those weenies who stays home come election day.

I don’t want the other two, but then I don’t want to give Juan my vote either.

The reality of it is there are three democrats to choose from and it’s not much of a choice.

All of them have a different MO for destroying America.

What choice?

Yes, that’s the answer. I’m going half a buck for Susan and her principled NC team.

McCain did exactly what he should have done. Denouncing the ad Smearing Conservatives was very smart political strategy.

There. Fixed it.

Wow. I certainly don't envy you in that you actually have had personal contact with the little weasel. There are SO many reasons to despise him, that shouldn't have to be one of them. My condolences.
