Crazy and Crazy-er

There are so many reasons to not vote for McCain. I think the straw was his blatant attempt at sick humor, when he publically sang, “Bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran.” That showed me his lack of class and his unstable happy trigger finger. He must not be elected, nor Hillary Clinton.
Agreed. They both would be equally rotten for this country...and that's saying something.
There. Better.
My Darling Daughter has been able to find jobs, and I expect Ratboy to have similar luck when he's old enough for our masters to graciously allow him to work.
No, McCain is not to the right on Islamic terrorism, he was only right on Iraq troop build up and the surge. McCain opposed wire tapping the Al Qaeda calls, he opposed strong methods of interrogation and supported Geneva treaty rights for terrorists. Iraq is only one front of the war on terror, sooner or later the terrorism is going to hit our shores again, and if McCain is commander in chief, we will not be prepared.
We may as well have Hillary.
And God Bless you too, and God Bless America.
Answer: Because McCain is a sick scumbag who is not only an open borders loon, but is also stupid enough to be duped by the "global warming" alarmists. Anybody that stupid is wholly unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. I would rather ride out four years of a scumbag Democrat in the White House than reward the back-stabbing McCain for his duplicity, sleaze, and arrogance.
You’ll get no arguments from me.
Romney is not to the right of anyone, that’s his main problem, and what electorate are you speaking of? The total electorate,or the Republican electorate? It should be up to the Republicans to pick their own candidate. Independents should have no say, at all. If a person doesn’t care enough to get involved with one of the two parties, they shouldn’t have any say who the parties pick.
McCain has been acting as a fifth column within the Republican party ever since he lost the 2000 election. His actions have been both vindictive and self-aggrandizing.
As Thomas Sowell said, Benedict Arnold was a war hero, too.

That’s good...I am glad you have counter-protested against liberals...we can agree on that. And I mean that, as someone who has spent time outside Walter Reed and at the GOE last March, I understand.
I was speaking about becoming directly involved in the election of a candidate.
I have seen what a third party candidacy does, and as bad as GHWB was at certain aspects of his presidency, he was a world better than what Bill Clinton was as President. A vote for Ross Perot was essentially a vote for Bill Clinton. I did that once. I am not doing it again.
Conservatives need to wake up and realize, like Boston Celtics fans, that McHale, Bird and Parish are not going to walk through the door. Likewise, Ronald Reagan is dead and buried, and we were lucky to get him in our lives, but he isn’t coming back.
I was pulling for Duncan Hunter and contributed to his campaign, but that was a pipe dream. And there was no way Fred Thompson was EVER going to become President, as good a guy as he seemed to be. McCain would be a lousy president, but liberals would love him. THEY love McCain because they think their candidate can beat him handily in the general election, which I believe.
I am throwing my weight behind Romney. He’s not perfect either, but he doesn’t have his name on McCain-Feingold. And he understands commerce.
We need to deal in the politics of what is possible, not what we want it to be.
By the way, on a personal note: I saw your Freep Page...you talked about a bunch of liberals on bicycles who take over the road and harangue people in cars. I saw a guy who ran over one of their bikes and the liberals looked like they were going to try to lynch the guy. Same kind of people?
Huh? Why vote for someone commentators have called "Hillary in drag?" If it quack's like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a duck. McCain is a Clinton/Kerry liberal with a nasty attitude and contempt for conservative values.
“Why are so many Republicans freaking out about John McCain’s primary success?”
Because we hate his stinkin’ guts!
Good list — I agree with your reasons for why McCain for POTUS would be a disaster for America.
I will hold my nose on Tuesday and vote for Romney.
This is the key point to remember. SOMEONE is going to be elected President in November. Half the country didn’t want Bush in the first place and that number has grown significantly since 2004. Anyone who things a candidate that’s even further to the Right can get elected in this climate is dreaming. McCain isn’t a conservatives ideal, but would you REALLY rather see Hillary or Obama in the White House for 4, or most likely 8 years? C’mon!!!
______________________________________________________
YES, If this country is going to hell for 4 years, then let the Rats and liberal policies be blamed, not another shot at Republicans. Besides John McKerry cannot beat either rat running no matter who his running mate is. How is he going to debate Hillary/Obama on economic issues when his answer is, ‘Well I’m a leader, in Vietnam I was a leader. I will just go to my trusted advisers Jack Kemp and Phil Graham, and they will solve it. By the way did I say I was in Vietnam?’ Kerry tried this approach in 04...didn’t work then won’t work now.
Answer: because any “Republican” so beloved by the NY Times, LA Times, and all of the MSM is a Trojan Horse candidate designed to wreck the party and marginalize conservatism.
McCain never could have had such national stature on his own ideas and record.... the MSM loves him because he sticks it to his own party as often as possible, plays the “good RINO” for the press and generally just makes a mess of things for conservatives. I give him much credit for his military service and for his support of the USA in the War on Terror, but it takes a lot more to be a good President.
...and with the Maine caucus results tonight those delegate numbers should be a bit tighter, although I believe as a caucus state Maine does not choose actual delegates for awhile longer..... but McCain got trounced today.
Me too.
We need to deal in the politics of what is possible, not what we want it to be.
Agreed. Where we disagree is on what is possible, and perhaps more importantly the time scale available to acheive the 'impossible'.
I saw a guy who ran over one of their bikes and the liberals looked like they were going to try to lynch the guy. Same kind of people?
Maybe even some of the very same people.
