Pause. It should give you pause that Daily Kos and other dems are licking their chops and calling on their people to vote Romney. I know the media is biased but I’m not in the tin-foil hat crowd like you over it. They’re not trying to overtly change our vote by creating fake polls etc. If you believe that you’re just as whacky as the Nader crowd on the left and the Paul people.
McCain is the most electable by far. History dictates this. Common political sense, regular common sense. Anecdotally, I talk a lot of politics when I’m in my squadron. The mere mention of Romneys name gets eyes rolling. And these are not liberal people. These are people who overwhelmingly voted for Bush. He’s a fake and everyone knows it.
If we don’t mix it up this year we lose. If we don’t appeal to independents and conservative Dems we lose. If we chose a weasel like Romney over a genuine hero like McCain we deserve to lose. At least I would feel better about it. The party that made such a moronic choice would deserve to be the party that ushers in the era of Socialism Hillary/Obama will bring. If we nominate McCain and lose it would hurt more, at least I can be spared that. Like 1996 it would suck to see the better honorable man lose to a skunk.
I think you are the one in the tin foil crowd. mcCain is not the target of the Dems despite his strong pro-war stance. Here is what Edwards said yesterday,
"Well, he is starting to look like the Republican nominee,” Edwards said in response to a reporter’s question about McCain, “and I think it's important for us to have somebody to run against McCain who can beat him. And national polls show that I'm the one who beats John McCain in the general election. And second, I think even more important than that, this is a guy who's made central to his political life campaign finance reform. It seems to me we ought to be putting somebody up against him who's never taken money from special interest PACs or Washington lobbyists. Between the three of us, that's me."
I never said the polls were faked, just that they are not relevant until we have the actual two nominees from the parties. Most of the public is not even paying attention to the Presidential race. Their opinions are based primarily on name recognition and not much more. Bill Clinton trailed Bush 41 in the polls early on. He was a little known governor from a small state.

McCain is part of the Washington establishment. He has been feeding at the public trough since 1983. He has never been in private business or had an executive job in the gobvernment. Historically, we have only elected one sitting senator to be President in the 20th and now 21st centuries, i.e., JFK. Governors and VPs seem to be the training ground for future Presidents.
Do the eyes in your squadron roll when you talk about immigration and amnesty. Do your mates relaize that if amnesty is granted to the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens, i.e., legalized status, they will be able to sponsor more than 65 million LEGAL immigrants thru chain migration? The 1986 amnesty projected one million would apply for amnesty, but the actual number turned out to be 2.7 million. The 65 million number is based on 12 million illegal aliens, so it could be much higher if it is closer to 20 million.
McCain is supposed to be the national security candidate yet, McCain-Kennedy was a risk to national security. A massive blanket amnesty also creates a national security problem by providing new opportunities and advantages for alien terrorists currently operating on American soil. Inexplicably, supporters of the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill assume that its enactment will allow the federal government to identify these terrorists. On the contrary, the bill will make it easier for alien terrorists to operate in the United States by allowing them to create fraudulent identities with ease. The terrorists will have options: (1) continue to operate as an illegal alien; (2) obtain the amnesty using one’s own name; or (3) invent a clean identity with the help of the U.S. Government. With this newly minted identity backed up by an ID card, the alien terrorist will be armed with the perfect “breeder document,” allowing him to obtain driver’s licenses and just about any other form of identification that he desires. This is essentially what the nineteen 9/11 hijackers did: They used their passports and visas as “breeder documents” to obtain 63 driver’s licenses. The documents allowed them to travel openly and board airplanes easily. In fact, four of the hijackers were even registered to vote.
McCain still says that McCain-Kennedy was not amnesty nor was the 2006 bill. This is a lie. It is amnesty. McCain is the fake and liar.
If we don’t mix it up this year we lose. If we don’t appeal to independents and conservative Dems we lose. If we chose a weasel like Romney over a genuine hero like McCain we deserve to lose. At least I would feel better about it. The party that made such a moronic choice would deserve to be the party that ushers in the era of Socialism Hillary/Obama will bring.

If McCain is the nominee, we deserve to lose. He doesn't represent where most of the Rep base is. How can any party nominate someone who is against his own party, i.e,, a maverick. Will you vote for Romney if he is the nominee of the party?
