"allen is an idiot buffoon who can't debate" chorus on freerepublic and you can count on them to hop onto Allen threads and start calling him an idiot and say we need someone better, but they rarely push for their guys(mccain or rudy) since they know if they do it'll fall on deaf ears and on the issues Most anyone of the 2008 candidates beat the pants of them."
Wait, which is it? Am I a "McCain humper" or do I "rarely push for my guy?" I really can't be both. But then consistency isn't one of your strong points.
I will advocate for McCain when I think it's relevent, but I have not entirely made up my mind on any one candidate yet either. For now I see McCain as being the one most likely to beat Hillary, to me the biggest imperative I place on a GOP candidate as opposed to you where just saying "Reagan" a lot and riding a horse in a silly cowboy outfit is enough. But I am also looking at other candidates too, so I have not entirely settled on anyone. But I do know that absent a drastic turn-around in Allen's ability to confront Democrats effectively, he will not be anyone I will consider. If I see a change in his approach and some ability to beat Hillary, then I'll given him a second look.
My focus was on Allen on this thread because if you'll go back and look it was a thread about Allen, not McCain. And if I don't mention McCain in every sentence I post on Allen that isn't because I'm afraid of the vacuous and predicable "McCain is a RINO" replies, as if such intellectual empty calories is anything to fear, it's because it's not pertinent to discussing Allen. I know you'd rather get back to the silly name calling of a man who served his country during Vietnam and was a POW (I'd like to compare that to your own military record), but the subject of this thread and the original article was Allen. If you can't handle Allen being the focus and can't handle the legitimate criticisms of Allen's ineffectual handling of Democrats then that tells me you're not so sure about this guy yourself.
You know, Enduring Freedom was right. Your posts are completely illogical and make absolutely no sense. Your nothing more than a hack trying to cause dissension in the ranks. No matter how many times you call Allen an idiot, those of us here on free republic at large disagree with you. NO matter how many times you say hes howdy doody looking and cowboy stuff is stupid, shows how little you know about the republican party base.
(I'd like to compare that to your own military record),
Mccain is not as electable as you claim, Bush was polling higher than him in 2000 and look where it got him. The media will turn on him the second he gets the republican nomination(not that he will).
Mccain has stabbed us in the back so many times and cares only about himself. He opposed bush's tax cuts, opposed anwr, is for universal health care, is for amnesty, gutted the constitutional option, pushed the most arrogant piece of legislation in decades on us in the form of CFR, ran around in 2000 talking about 'tax cuts for the rich' and the wealth gap in this country, is trying to regulate the internet. I'm sorry, but i will never vote for this guy and he will never win the primary or the general election, no matter how many times you guys say it.
Typical of you to bring up his service, none of us are attacking it and once again you confuse the debator with the debate. Only a LIBERAL would throw out that BS line of arguement about comparing someones military service to another.
I'm done here, theres no point in arguing with you. If your ego so demands have the last word.
