In the general election even liberals might be afraid to vote for McCain because there is no telling when he might go ballistic. At times he is full of rage and at other times he appears medicated.
Anyone, such as McCain, who votes against keeping violent gang members and terrorists from this country is obviously incapable of handling WOT.
Is Romney that bad? I mean Ann Coulter likes him. If he's good enough for Ann..."tiniest suspicions"
I would rather the Dims have it than vote for McLame or the Huckster.
I have held my nose and voted for RINOs for the last time.
If the illegals are going to be given amnesty, I would rather a Demonrat be given the credit. That way I can truthfully say I played no part in it.
I am disgusted with the Republican party, and will no longer vote for someone because they have R in front of their name.
Sometimes you have to let things get very, very bad before they get better.
JFK, in today's political terms, would be a conservative. He is much more conservative than McDole. I would actually vote for JFK over McDole.
Not really. Obviously the opinion on here is in the minority now and will have little impact on the election.
I get a kick out of Laura Ingrim going off on someone over illegals, and then says she's looking for the next Reagan.
Everyone give Reagan a pass for giving millions of illegals amnesty.
We will never find the "perfect" president. McCain isn't half bad if you compare him to Hillary of Obama. He's Reagan's twin if you compare him to Romney.
McCain is not the #1 RINO. He's a close 2nd but Rudy is #1, and I won't vote for him under any conceivable circumstances. I can tolerate Romney or Huck if either of those is the only alternatives to a Democrat, but not Rudy. In fact, as much as it would pain me to do it I could pull the lever for McCain in November because either Democrat is even worse, but if Rudy is the GOP nominee I will vote for a tolerable 3rd party nominee if there is one on my ballot, or just skip that portion of the ballot if there isn't.
The bottom line is that unless Fred can pull a miracle out of his hat this will be the most disastrous election for the US in the lifetime of anyone now alive in America. From day one of this primary season the most popular GOP candidates have been the most liberal and the least popular the most conservative. What does that say about what the party has come to? Fred was my great white hope a month ago, but it's almost certain now that he's dead in the water. I'm so thoroughly disgusted with Republicans in general right now that I am seriously considering changing my registration to independent.
I recognize that the GWOT is really about access to oil and a continued strong dollar.
There are other forms of terrorism that C4 vests.
Nations can wage economic terrorism on a country and drive them into chaos, if the right conditions exist.
Oil is a limited commodity. Not only is important that we have access to it, but it is strategically important that our enemies do not gain an advantage over us, by their access to it.
The US became a super-power for numerous reasons, one of which was our access to cheap-oil and the freedom to develop an infrastructure to use.
Unless we have continued access to it, our enemies will destroy us.
So what the hell, give whats left of your dignity to the Hilebeast. Great stategy. Lay down to make it easier for the Libs to stomp on you.
I never went Lyndon Larouche, even Rush admits that he did as a young adult and I will that I gave those ideas serious considerations as a teenager. (Council on Foreign Relations and such)
I’ve grown up to disagree with the establishment policies and not be so conspriatorial as I used to be.
But there are people at the top making policy and it can often be bad policy like the Vietnam sellout and the new containment policy towards the Axis of Evil.
Those people at the top play politics too and I’ve learned as an adult that politics has a dark underside to it.
I think we know that and so I say that insiders are trying to use nasty tactics to win. Maybe Fred or Huck are in to split votes and help McCain, for instance.
I would love to get to the source of all the attacks on candidates other than McCain that have been bandied about in the last few months/
Quite the contrary. I will not be complicit by voting for a candidate who will take my rights away, regardless of party label. When I cast my vote, it will be for a candidate, not a vote out of fear.
Quit with all the deep paranoia already.
OK, OK, I get it. I've heard nothing else on FR for the past nine months.
Now we know what we didn't know before. You are 15% of the GOP electorate, if that. You are zero percent of the independent or RAT electorate. That puts you at around 5-7% of the national electorate.
At that level, you cannot nominate or elect any candidate in any statewide or national election. You have demonstrated that you can probably ruin any Republican candidate you choose.
But, since 85-90% of the electorate will make choices which are unacceptable to you, where do you go from here?
What YOU don't get about the loser rino/moderates is that they will never support one of yours for anything. And there are lots of them, about 45-70% of the GOP depending on how you score the Huck.
So where do you go from here?
Maybe because he believes like I believe that Romney will be more beholden to the base. On the other hand there are those like McCain who pride themselves on pursuing self-interest under the guise of being a “maverick.”
Now, the choice is clear: Mitt Romney.
I refuse to vote for any of them now that Hunter is out, let the others run the nation into the ditch.
He’s John Robert McDole, in case you didn’t know.
There used to be an American Conservative Party. They called themselves "Republicans"! Now, it seems, the only vestige of the "American Conservative Party" is on this site...for the most part.
If you mention Conservative and Romney in the same sentence without a not between them, you're blowing smoke.
On every major issue Romney is as liberal as Hillary (or has been as liberal).
Gun Control
Abortion
Gay Marriage
Health Care
Illegals
Taxes (Fees)
The big problem I see with McCain, is he's been in public office since 82. That's a long time to make a lot of enemies.
Unfortunately for him, his biggest enemy is Rush.
