"Remember when Clinton was experincing his darkest days in public office? I’m sure you do."

Brother.

"We also remember why he was experiencing them too. He was a man who never grew up. He was a man who couldn’t conduct himself as an adult. At one point he bagan to pull historical names out of a hat and deconstruct them. It seemed reasonable to him to tear down our historical figures in order to make himself look better. Did it make him look better? No. Bill Clinton was what he was and those folks who were not around to defend themselves any longer didn’t deserve to have a child in a man’s body attempt to shift his guilt off on them."

Amen.
I'm sure you've noticed they're doing the same shtick to Rush, Ann and any others who've fought on behalf of the conservative cause, with one exception: now they're going after those who aren't dead.

"Now we have folks who have decided to back the likes of John McCain. And they think that if they can tear down others, it will make their ‘maverick’ look better. Will it? No. You can put 2,137 coats of paint on that pig of yours, and he’ll still be a pig."

Yup, perfect analogy.

"John took a chunck of change from a savings and loan operator. Federal investigators were set to swoop in on that operator, and were asked to hold off. Five Senators took part in that effort. John was one of them. They became known as the Keeting Five. Keeting proceded to bilk untold millions from pensioners over the year it took for the regulators to finally force an audit. Peoples lives were destroyed, life savings gone. John McCain skated while they were forced to pick up the pieces, a lifetime’s worth of savings gone."

Does McCain really believe [that] will be squelched by the LIBERAL-SOCIALIST quislings if and/or when the time comes?
HA!!

"John has lined up on the wrong side of the isle many times. I don’t need to list them all. Besides, no one can. Anyone who cares will remember some of them. They’re listed all over this forum. What they won’t remember is how many times John shot his mouth off on talking head shows over the years, deflating efforts that were just taking off."

I remember, man do I remember.

"Many of those efforts were in support of good sound conservative principles. And John McCain acted as an agent of the democrat party killing these efforts so he could feel important."

Because in spite of John McCain's declared affiliation he was a leftist because he behaved like one. NOT because his detractors labeled him as such, because McCain labeled himself through his deeds.

"I’m not going to go back and study every Reagan move from 25 years ago, to see if it was reasoned or not, so John McCain can feed his ego, or others can pretend that the donkey in the room is an elephant. And make no mistake about it, John McCain has proven over and over that he is a donkey. President Reagan proved over and over again that he was a great man, truly had a moral compas, and cared more for the people of our nation and others across the global landscape than Captain Queeg McCain ever will."

As usual, succinct & beautifully articulated.

"Don’t stoop to this. McCain simply isn’t worth it."

...not to worry. ;^)

Thanks for your response.

That's a good point.  They are.  When you plead an arguement to defend someone it's okay to defend them with pertinant information, but you have to be careful that 1. they are worthy of the defense, and 2. that the arguements you are making are not so desctructive to the cause, that you do more harm than good with the defense.  What good does it do to rip a conservative icon apart, just to make the likes of McCain look better (which you'll never be able to do anyway).

Tearing down Reagan to make McCain look better?  Man, that's a lost cause in my book.  How futile and self-destructive to the cause.

Does McCain really believe [that] will be squelched by the LIBERAL-SOCIALIST quislings if and/or when the time comes?  HA!!

You're absolutely right.  With McCain you get a two-fer.  Here is a guy who IS for all intents and purposes Hillary Clinton with few exceptions.  The left wins if she wins.  It wins if he wins.  And his history is going to come back to haunt him in ways the right would never press.  The left very well may deem it appropriate to try to take him to task on his military record.  They will most certainly take him to task on his conservative credentials, and it isn't going to look pretty.  We'll be put in the postition of having to cast a vote for a man that has been attacked with information that will make us wince in pain, because we will know in our hearts that they are true, destroy his claims of being conservative, and may even present his past actions to be almost unbearably disgusting.

Because in spite of John McCain's declared affiliation he was a leftist because he behaved like one. NOT because his detractors labeled him as such, because McCain labeled himself through his deeds.

Precisely!  And the only defense John will have, is to name one person after another who has done something he has, in order to make himself look innocent.

Get ready to see every conservative you've ever admired totally disembled by the man who will be carrying the 'conservative' mantle this fall.

Coming to a television set near you and yours.

Isn't that the best way you can think of to build respect for Conservatism's leading icons?  John will do damage to our brand (conservatism) that will last into the next generation.

He may be the best man for the job, but I don't think folks have thought it out very well what that job is.  Putting the finishing touches on conservatism after decades of leaders betraying it?
