Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.
Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.
It was tongue in cheek, but there is some truth to it.
Baited breath... Have you been ice fishing? :D
“They failed to repeal the death tax.”
MOST of the Republicans were for making the Bush tax cuts permanent. Democrats want to let them expire. A few RINOs prevented the Congress from making the Bush tax cuts permanent. A few RINOs ruin the whole party.
Since I dont approve I say Proamnesty-antiBushtaxcuts-proCO2caps-CFR-RINO John McCain delenda est!
“backed down on the shamnesty bill ONLY because the constituents roused from their collective slumber long enough to breath fire down their necks.”
Again, about 7 or so RINOs, with McCain the ringleader and a bunch of liberal Democrats.
If you are upset about that sham-nesty - as I was - channel it productively. Stop McCain from being the nominee.
“We have the Gang of 14 though, and Buckets Voinovich hanging up John Bolton.”
If you are upset about that, channel it productively. Stop McCain from being the nominee.
“Republicans are spineless and fight their own. “
SOME Republicans. If we make McCain our standard bearer, we will have rewarded the spineless and treasonable RINOs. Big mistake.
All you have done it list the actions of a bunch of RINOs, who are NOT most Republicans, and are blaming all Republicans for the actions of those RINOs or ‘spineless’ ones. I THINK YOUR ERROR IS SIMPLY GROUPING THEM ALL TOGETHER AS IF EVERY REPUBLICAN IS THE SAME AND ALL ARE EQUALLY CULPABLE. Let us be more discerning - separate the good conservative Republicans from the RINOs, and blame only the RINOs for these actions.
Some Republicans are more worthy of our support than others.
Actually, I apologize. Wasn’t meant to gloat, at all, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way.
I was starting to like him a bit, and I do empathize with what he is going through now. His mother is seriously ill...:(
Sorry..while I could vote for Romney (and did in the primary), I could N-E-V-E-R vote for RINO McCain.
EVER.
The guy is a Dem with a stick-on (R) label on his coat. And it’s 99% peeled off and hanging by a thread..
Why he hasn’t just become a Dem is beyond me.
“The last holdouts, who keep dissing Romney, are those with an aversion to the Mormon faith and those jealous of Mitt’s good looks and success in life.”
...or true conservatives.
Nah, couldn’t be that.
I don’t doubt there’s a lot of truth in that.
I’m old enough to say I voted for Reagan twice and also old enough to say emphatically that the Reagan years seem about one million years ago.
Thanks.
Yeah, it will hurt—I already voted for him for guv in MA!—but I’ll be going with Mitt.
The big thing is I think we need something of a national version of what the Conservative Party does in NY, which is to press the Pubbies a little more toward their cause.
Except this national party should be focused on furthering the three-legged Reagan Coalition stool, and raising funds to keep the Republicans as conservative as their base.
It would work within the campaign finance restraints. No, not via nasty push polls a la Huckabee, but with national television commercials and PR savvy early in the primary process.
“I too was a loyal Republican until they tried to pass the amnesty bill in secret. I will never forget that and it opened my eyes to the truth about most politicians.”
It was great when McCain’s presidential hopes nose-dived.
I had hopes that the CITIZENS were in charge and the politicians couldnt pull a fast one on us.
McCain’s ‘comeback’ has been unusual and ... dangerous for us.
The elites will WRITE OFF THE ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT IF MCCAIN IS NOMINATED. Just watch. They are eagerly awaiting their chance to stick it to conservatives.
Anyone who called the Senate last June to beg them and demand they stop their amnesty bill *MUST* want to see the end of McCain’s Presidential hopes.
Amnesty will rise again if he is the nominee.
Yep. The whole primary process is broken.
Letting Dems vote in (R) primaries. Now THAT is logical (and how we keep winding up with RINOs).
Calling my opinion “crap” doesn’t exactly lend itself to civility. I respect your right to disagree, as you should mine, but it can be done without resorting to that.
I think Petronski got sent to the Principal’s office.
Whether you want to recognize it or not, people (voters) just aren’t as conservative as you think they are.
Maybe if we strapped them to a chair and forced them to listen to some talk radio for 3 weeks and kept them away from the drive-bys, a lot more people would be conservative, because it is a logical position. But most people aren’t logical and rational, they’re emotional. Unfortunately.
I agree, but the question then becomes would the damage be reversible or irreversible? Seems an unthinkable risk to me!
You’re very welcome.
No arguement from me on that. And you've listed many reasons that McCain has ticked me off so mightily. But as a collective group republicans are lame, voiceless and timid. Never do they stand tall together and publically call out the democraps treachery. Never.
As for RINO's ruining the party, I agree. Now, where does that leave us with the choice of candidates now that Fred is gone? RINO City, USA that's where.
