Every election day I drag my knuckles all the way to the polls and vote conservative. I never miss an election!

Every election day I drag my knuckles all the way to the polls and vote conservative.

I would even drag my knuckles across broken glass to vote against Hillary.

[Darkwolf377]

In my experience, when a Democrat tells me he would vote for McCain, he doesn't know anything about McCain except he "speaks his mind," and then I ask him about McCain's position on abortion, free speech, and the war in Iraq, they hem and haw over voting for someone who's pro-life, restricts free speech through McCain-Feingold, and is pro-Iraq War.

They've been so conditioned by the media, which McCain loves, that they can't understand WHY the lefty media love him so--because he's a pain in the butt to Bush.

Gone are the days when "the media" had substantial say in these matters. Let them push McCain and the like all they want.

I think the left will idolize McCain during the republican primaries, and if he makes it as the presidential; candidate they will demonize him when he runs against their guy. Unfortuneately, he has given them plenty of ammunition to use against him. I hope that he backs out of the race before the primaries.

Last time he ran he slung tremendous mud against Bush, divided the party and weakened Bush for the election against Gore.

...the media dream of reboarding the Straight-Talk Express of "maverick" John McCain. How they love his wry charisma, his quick wit, and especially the way he wrote a new Bill of Rights for terrorists after perverting the original one to silence political free speech in the name of campaign finance reform.

At the risk of becoming a bit tedious, I'll repeat my earlier prediction that John McCain (D) Arizona will lose decisively in the Republican primaries; and, he will then either run as a spoiler independent, or as Hillary Rodham's Veep.

I now believe the latter to be the more probable of the two scenarios.

McCain has ZERO chance. The Democrats/Independents will have their OWN hard fought primary camapign in 2008. They will be too busy to cross over in 2008, like they did in 2000, and try to sabatoge the GOP by voting McCain. As a potential Republican Delegate in a Blue State, if he cannot even win HERE he is NO where for 2008 and He cannot Win Minnesota

[MNJohnnie]

The Democrats will be too busy picking their own candidate in 2008 to cross over for McCain. McCain is a political dead duck.

[Soul Seeker]

But again, the media think conservatives are too stupid to remember that McCain was considered so anti-Bush, he was reportedly offered the number two slot with John Kerry in 2004. Can he win the nod without the right? For the record, during McCain's first attempt at the presidency in 2000, he won only seven primaries for a total of 193 delegates out of a possible 2,066. More telling is that most of those seven were 'open' primaries where the voting was not limited to Republicans. In his biggest win, Michigan, the great majority of his votes came from Democrats and independents.

It's my goal to attempt to ensure he wins no primaries whatsoever this time. I want McCain humiliated so that even the RINO's realize it's suicidal to associate with this vindictive loose cannon. I want him ranked dead last, or as near last as is conceivable. Not second, not third, not even fourth.

And, yes, it's incredibly amusing to watch Liberals try to dicate our choice. What infuriates is that so called "conservatives" afraid he'll be the nominee kiss up to him and write fluff pieces that we should accept the inevitable in desperation to keep a Democrat out. The blessing amidst frustration is that these weak kneed unprinciples end up revealing they are not 'stalwarts' of conservatism if they would cosy up to McCain under any circumstance.

I don't vote to keep Democrats out. I vote FOR people of Character. McCain is without. Nor is he exactly a Republican either.

that John McCain (D) Arizona will lose decisively in the Republican primaries; and, he will then either run as a spoiler independent, or as Hillary Rodham's Veep.

I think you've nailed it. "Unite America" would be their slogan. Unfortunately, that would be our downfall.

What America needs in a president is one possessed of vision (an ability to speak coherently wouldn't hurt either): One willing to protect our country at any cost--screw the enemies of America: you want to play, ante-up, bitch. Closed borders, and proctologic exams of all entering from the Middle East. Dismantling of everything federal that has proven a failure, ie. Education, Arts, Energy, War on Drugs, IRS, Transportation, Bridges to Nowhere, Omnibus bills, etc. It's time to get serious.

Deport every poverty pimp to country of ethnic origin. Let them drag that country into the mud. Throw in a couple cases of condoms for each if AIDS is a problem (and it will be).

In short, America had better elect a president who will erect the walls necessary to remain a fortress, while adhering to the blueprint of the constitution and bill of rights for those inside or else, "I Have A Dream" will become "I'm Having A Nightmare". What better way than to lead by example (I often hear foreign countries are awash in ills headed our way) than to suffer fates we, and we alone, are prepared to defend against by mere birthright. I am lucky to have been born an American. Message to those that weren't: Please try harder.

Here we go...

[calcowgirl]

Same old, same old...

I read an AP article yesterday about The Southern Republican Leadership Conference to be held in Memphis in March. It was talking about presidential hopefuls and also said: "Two dozen others have been invited, including party heavyweights John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Karl Rove, and many will attend."

If these are our "heavyweights," we have serious problems.

[FOG724]

If these are our "heavyweights," we have serious problems.

We got problems.

[SierraWasp]

I just find this whole subject of McCain, including silly lindsey Graham, to be obscenely RINO!!! (spit!)

[FOG724]

As if dealing with Arnold wasn't enough.

[budwiesest]

If these are our "heavyweights,"

They are merely 'media weights'. Means they get face time. Paris Hilton could register as a Republican and get 20+%

[SierraWasp]

Well, like I said, NV has a RINO that's as bad, if not worse!! He's actually RAISED TAXES OUTRIGHT!!!

Good Night!!!

[Caipirabob]

McCain AND Guiliani will be beaten like red-headed stepchildren in any conservative arena. In areas where Dims can vote as Republicans, they may stand a chance.
