McCain is a RINO. However I am voting ABC (Anybody But Clinton)
I would vote for him over Obama. He is a extreme liberal as well.
I wont stay home becasue that is a vote for demo-rats.
One of the good things about having McLame as the candidate is that I won’t, unlike the previous two elections, fret about the outcome for months prior.
A lot of the hatred for McCain is irrational. I’ve felt it myself. I don’t like the way the guy offers cover to the enemy (left). One thing that will make or break both Romney or McCain will be who they pick for their VP whichever wins provided a brokered convention doesn’t occur. (I still hold out hope)

“...McCain haters, while vocal, are so out of step with the majority of voters...”

Over and over and over again, the supporters of McCain in this article said that us wackos are out of step over immigration. They don’t understand. For us it is a law and order issue. Our country is being ravaged by anarchists who know they can get by with ignoring our laws, abetted by the Federal Government.
We need to change the government in Washington, D.C. Say NO to McCain.
Sorry dude. The fact is that McCain is a Republican, not that the Republican party is conservative.
Sweet Jeebus. Iraq, Iraq, Iraq. It isn’t Iraq. The rank and file don’t even know that there is a WAR ON, for cryin’ out loud. No one is campaigning on it (aside from that toadstool Obama) and now that the surge has actually worked (despite the predictions and redefinitions from those Kreskins at the dailies) it’s been pretty much a hands-off issue all around.
Y’know, I read FR every day, and after reading through article after article that are so detached from reality, I wonder if I am some freaky square planet called “bizarro world”. Then I read some of the responses from people here who would pay for the “privilege” to floss with McCain’s armpit hairs and I wonder how I got here.
Good freaking grief. This entire election cycle is a top to bottom debacle. Wake me when it’s over and let me know if the good guys won.
APf
for later
Okay, Mike. Let's take another look at the list of "wacko" items on the "hard-nosed litmus test:
John McCain is the alleged "Reagan" Republican who.....
1. Wanted to be John F’n Kerry’s running mate....
2. Was a corrupt member of the “Keating Five”....
3. Has been duped by the Euro-socialist “global warming” alarmists....
4. Wants to roll out the red carpet for the illegal alien hordes....
5. Was one of two senators (along with the ignoble Lincoln Chafee) who originally joined the Democrats in voting against the Bush tax cuts....
6. Proudly put his name to the most dangerous assault on free speech (McCain-Feingold) in the nation’s history....
7. Opposes the effective interrogation technique known as “waterboarding”, and wants to close Gitmo so he can bring captured terrorists to the United States where he can "lawyer them up" and give them access to the courts....
8. Joins the environmental extremists in opposing drilling for oil in a relatively miniscule section of the frozen, barren, wasteland known as ANWR....
9. Is older than Bob Dole was when Dole ran for President in 1996, and who would be the oldest man in history to try to win the Presidency as a major party candidate....
10. Impeded conservative initiatives in the Senate at nearly every opportunity, according to a genuine conservative, former Senator Rick Santorum (R - PA).
The problem, Mike, is that you consider the above to be the concerns of "the wacko end of our party".
Well, take a hike, Mike. And take your liberal wacko McCain with you.
No more illegal immigration. No more amnesty...
McCain will not win in November if he is the nominee.....
First, many conservatives will stay home or vote elsewhere.
Second, McCain is vunerable to Clinton attacks on his character because there are real flaws to be attacked.
Third, McCain is vunerable for his involvement in the Keating Five debacle.
Fourth, McCain will not be able to fundraise anywhere near the levels needed to fight the Clintons. He will be completely outgunned financially.
Voting for McCain destroys what remains of our sovreignty!
I just had to explain to my grown daughter, who is a Republican, why conservatives don't like McCain. I'm assuming there are a lot of busy, working Republicans out there who aren't informed on McCain's voting record and don't have time for talk radio or FR. I personally don't know anyone who goes on FR.
More important that the WH is the Congress and all the RINOS running for the green fields...of the lobbyists
Isn't it a little odd that in the home state of a sitting U.S. senator, less than 50% of the republicans were supporting him for President?
thanks neverdem.
“At the top of the list is immigration, as contentious an issue in Arizona as anywhere else. The state has more people illegally crossing the border from Mexico than any other... Margaret Kenski, a longtime GOP pollster who has done work for McCain in the past, says that the conservatives who are upset with McCain make up between 10 and 15 percent of Arizona Republicans.”

Ah... No.
A republican hardliner would support the party at all cost, comrade author. And "hatred" implies an unthinking feeling, which could not be farther from the truth.
It is us principled conservatives who have a loathing for this man from Arizona.
I won’t vote for Juan McAztlan, the La Raza/Geraldo candidate. I’ll vote third party or write in Hunter, Tancredo, Thompson, or Lou Dobbs.
