THERE IS A LEFT-WING conspiracy at loose in the world, dedicated to undoing conservative governance, only the people who see it aren't sure what it is. John McCain is in it, of course, in fact he is the cause of it, as making him president is the ultimate goal. He is blamed for running, (and perhaps, for breathing), but beyond him the face of the threat is less clear. In fact, the faces are those of other conservative stalwarts, who were their heroes and brethren until--until, say, just after the Florida primary, when McCain emerged as a serious threat. These include Mike Huckabee, the once well-thought of former Arkansas governor (and hero of the social conservative part of the movement), who unaccountably refuses to withdraw from the race on their orders; Tom Coburn and Sam Brownback, perhaps the most conservative members of the United States Senate; Jack Kemp, the supply-side Reagan enthusiast; Phil Gramm, the most conservative Republican to run in the 1996 contest; and Ted Olson, the hero of the Federalist Society, who argued and won the case of Bush vs. Gore. (They may also include the late President Reagan's widow, who, according to the Drudge Report, hearts John McCain.)

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”—Matthew 17:19-21.
Welcome to FR.
This article hits the nail on the head.
Now I wait in anticipation for all the ignorant “McLame”, “McNasty”, “McManiac” type posts.
Don’t know about a conspiracy. But there’s one thing for sure of all the flawed candidates we were/are forced to choose from he is the worst of all.
I don’t get it. Does this guy think we’re getting a good conservative in John McCain or does he just think we’re a bunch of idiots and it glad we’re getting what we deserve?
With any luck McCain will be the nominee. The result will be the call for a Conservative convention and the start of a legitimate third party movement that has a true ideoloogical base.
That is a recipe for permanent irrelevance.
Government millionaires who are all on the political welfare system...
They all get government checks.
McCain as the GOP nominee gives Hillary! her best chance of winning. It’s as simple as that.
And with your 15% of the former Republican party vote, what will you do?
“That is a recipe for permanent irrelevance.”
And what do we have now? I’m irrelevant considering I now have NO representation in this Republic which has become a democracy. Maybe a third party will give me SOME representation. I’m for it Melchior.
Defeat you.
In this article, Emery builds an entire city of straw men.
Pathetic little article.
I know, I know, you all think that lack of conservative purity equals liberal. Everything is black and white. That opinion is so irrational, yet so ingrained, that its really not even worth trying to dissuade you.
Whether it’s McInsane vs. Hitlery or McQueeg vs. Hussien Osama in the 2008 election, either way, the democRATS will have won.
you would think this is a football game and talk radio are the coaches. This is a very important election. I Know that McCain will be the best man to fight terrorism
Nice try. I will not vote for that man. EVER!
Check out the above link and then come back and debate about conservative purity.
McCain’s ready to sell out our country to the open borders crowd. His advisor, Juan Hernandez, has links to George Soros for goodness sakes.
Now you can have your anticipation relieved.
McCain is all those names you mentioned and more. Let me add McLoser to the list.
I am not going about ripping most other high profile conservatives who endorsed McCain. I certainly rip the LIBERALS who endorse McCain....the "New York Times", for instance, is a GREAT EXAMPLE of why we need not support Mr. Amnesty.
I WILL SAY I have seen on this board McCain supporters who, when told of high profile conservatives who support Mitt, decide to attack those conservatives. I've seen bad words spoken about, for instance, Joe Ariposa (the sherrif from Arizona) and Judge Robert Bork.
Hey, if Ted Olson wants to throw his hat into McCain's corner, then that is fine with me. He is backing a guy who voted against tax cuts, voted for amnesty, won't let us drill in ANWR, swallows Global Warming propaganda, and wrote one of the most restrictive anti-First Amendment law in the history of the Republic.
Mitt Bashers like to point out where Mitt was liberal in the past, but refuse to acknowledge McCain's current liberal stands!
Mitt has the balls to say he was wrong before, particularly on the life question. McCain won't see when he is wrong NOW.
