And yet some people that claim to be "conservatives" suggest we suck up a McCain presidency because the Dem alternative would be worse? Forget that attitude of defeatism in the first place, What's the saying certain '60's rejects like? "Hell no, we won't go"? Sums up my feelings about anyone trying to push that unstable egomanical whackjob on me as a saner choice than Hillary or any Democrat. He's worse. He's worse because having a damn R by his name excuses him to do more than any "conservative" would stand by and allow a Democrat to do.
I don't believe for a MINUTE that the MSM sponsered campaign to pick the GOP candidate means only McCain and Rudy can win. McCain will lose if he's the candidate for one thing. But the little known secret is just about anyone, minus that "maverick", has the edge to win and I'm not compromising my conscience to usher him to office. I wouldn't do it for Clinton, and I won't do it for McCain.
However, say he were nominated? I'd work to kill his campaign and them nominate Blackwell in '12.
The opinion piece here? Just the usual pre-dawn State of the Union MSM hack job portraying their fear of the President speaking unrestricted to the American people again. Everytime he does that he knocks out a few months chalked up of lies.
NSA the public is on the President's side.
Alito the public is on the President's side.
Abramhoff the public couldn't care less, and those that think about it, think it affects both parties. The only people interested are Dem activists, yellow bellied Republicans in Washington, and certain blogs trying to insert their choice for Delay's job the same way they did with Lott that resulted in Frist (great accomplishment on their part.....) and claiming this is akin to Miers. One problem? Miers was a true grassroots effort. It wasn't ginned up by a few blogs claiming to speak for "conservatives" on this issue. A Congressman admitted as much when he expressed frustratedly in a quote to a paper, I think it was Foley? That people weren't calling. They were more interested in other concerns. Surprise, surprise.
Great take on the article...
Mark Levin was WAY down on McCain on Friday night...he said that anyone the says that McCain is strong on national defense...is lying.
He said that the fact that McCain cares more about the treatment of the terrorists in Gitmo...than the US military, is indicative that he isn't...and his constant griping about the "torture" that our troops supposedly are committing, puts our country, therefore, our military MORE at risk...
Mark said...one thing that indicates this, laughable as it may be....that during one of McCain comments about the abuse...he stated "I don't care if the prison is in Des Moines, Iowa, or Guantanamo Bay, Cuba...."
Mark said, no one in their right mind would even hint at putting a prison full of terrorists in the USA...but, McCain doesn't care...
You get the idea...Mark Levin is livid, like you...over McCain's antics...and it is WRONG that he is the "front runner" for 2008...
Alito - the public is on the President's side.
Abramhoff - the public couldn't care less, and those that think about it, think it affects both parties.
You hit it out of the park, Seeker.
