FoxNews: Laura Ingraham Declares She WILL Vote for John McCain if Her Candidate Loses
Ingraham on Fox ^ | 5 Feb 08 | Ingraham on Fox

Posted on 02/05/2008 4:56:49 AM PST by xzins

She clearly stated:

I'm not one of those folks who will say that I won't vote for him.

She earlier said that she just didn't think this was the time to turn to party over to the Dole/Ford wing of the Republican Party.

She called McCain an amazing man, and that she deeply respected him.

Hillary has had several opportunities to bash the Iraq war, and to call for a withdrawal like most of her fellow Democrats. She refrained.

all the tactics...

LOL!

If anything, I'd pray for a brokered convention so we could get a chance to dump these 3 liberals and pick a conservative.

Any claim that Romney, McCain, or Huckabee are "conservative" is an obvious untruth.

>>>Rush has made a cogent argument against voting for McCain. Basically having McCain as president would tie the hands of Republicans in Congress in fighting liberal bills

Dumb argument really. The dem majority in both houses is likely to remain. But with no republican president with a veto pen to backstop them the republican minority won’t be able to accomplish much.

Of course it is very liberating to be in a hopeless impotent minority if thats what he means.

When did McCain leave the Democratic Party?

The last I heard McCain voted against tax cuts, favors Amnesty, favors open boarders, let’s Juan Hernandez run his immigration policy, considered running with John Kerry as VP, fights right-to-lifers in court, likes Souter, is against Alioto, hates Rush, loves Kennedy, said Hillary would make a great President, stabs Republican and conservatives in the back every chance he gets.

With a friend like this, who needs enemies. Many Democrats would not be as bad as he has been. And then he has the temerity to say he is a Reagan conservative Republican. He makes me puke. I cannot vote for this evil man.

Oh, and did I mention he frequently vents his seething white-hot anger on Republicans and will frequently call them racists if they oppose him on Amnesty. Yikes, I do not want this man’s hands anywhere near nuclear weapons.

McCain is evil incarnate.

Who are his friends, Kerry, Kennedy, the clintons and the liberal media. Having an R after his name is the sheep covering for this wolf. His plan is to take care of the illegals at our expense, no doubt about it.

all traces of conservatism in the power structure will evaporate.

THAT horse left the barn a long time ago.

“I’m reporting what was just said on Fox n Friends.”

No, you’re taking one line that Ms. Ingraham said and saying she’s changing her position because she has inside information. That is dishonest. People who actually listen to the show know that what you are saying is dishonest. I would expect more from a retired army chaplain.

As for your tin foil speculation on inside polling info, I really could give a darn.

No it isn’t. It’s entirely rational given modern technology.

We had Hunter and Thomson to support and didn’t.

What's this we stuff? I supported Fred to the hilt...I spent nights and weekends calling for Fred and sent him several large donations. Large for me anyway. Fred was just too little too late. He should have gotten in in July...should woulda coulda. All water under the bridge. I'm supporting Romney now becasue Fred quit. But this is where I draw the line. I've said since 2000 I would never vote for McCain and I won't.

I thought I heard her once say that President Bush has refused to bring home the troops, and that on day 1 she will do so. And hasn’t she said pretty definitively that she will withdraw the troops— maybe not precipitously, but quickly? Maybe I have been asleep at the wheel.

Get over it - there is no perfect candidate - and when you speak of LIBERALS - McCain is the MOST liberal. All the media rags endorsed him and they hate MITT. That isn’t a subtle clue - is an obvious one. So don’t put McCain with the rest - he is the worst of the worst. If you don’t know that by now, I hope you enjoyed your sleep for the past seven years.

She said it, Minn4.

That’s why I posted it. It struck me as so typical of the media elite.

“It sounds like the reality of the polls is beginning to set in.”

I am not sure what “reality” you are referring to. But, if you are suggesting that Conservatives have come to the reality that if the choices are McCain vs Clinton, then Conservatives will hold their noses and dutifully pull the handle for McCain, you are very, very, misguided.

So what...we have technology that can give us exit polling data in states where the polls haven't even opened yet? I'm amazed.

OK, well now you know that this is NOT a new position for her so maybe you can stop saying it is.

There's a DeLorean involved.

She is true to her core beliefs.. nothing wrong with that...

1. I have been saying too that Pureists are going to cause the party defeat in NOV .. I can only hope I am wrong and somehow those people on here and in America realize that the number one issue... The number one issue of all conservatives is the effective Prosecution of the WOT and winning the front lines of Iraq by continuing to have a strong national defense.

2. I really wish more Conservatives would stop and think about exactly why they were supporting Romney... Exactly which signature legislation or battle has he waged in support of his Conservative Principles or has our party relegated themselves to listening to the Policial Rhetoric of a man and taking that Pandering at face value.

Tearing either one apart is simply not the answer either because we have to somehow come together to defeat the Dem nominee..
