He's fond of saying the American people want the borders secured before immigration reform.

He needs to be saying "I will not sign any immigration reform until the borders are sealed." He needs to make it his own intention, and he needs to be specific about "border security."

Of course we're more likely to see a platoon of sky lemurs fly out of his butt humming Ride of the Valkyries.

To create a viable 3rd party is a monumental task. It requires vision, commitment and leaders.

And cash! Huge steaming freight cars filled with cash.

Which looks and smells a lot better than some other 'steaming' stuff I can think of.

Senator McCain only has about half of the delegates needed to win. There’s still time.

If every conservative FReeper wrote an editor’s letter to their home town newspaper, if you live in the states that haven’t had their primaries yet, we could expose how liberal McCain is.

And if you don’t live in a state that hasn’t voted yet, you can ask your friends and relatives in the states to write an editor’s letter (or even tell them you will write the letter for them (to send).

Once he’s in you know he’s going left. He’s saying whatever he needs to say right now to get enough to clinch the delegates. He will then go moderate to get enough votes for the national election (ie mod repubs, moderate dems who hate Hill and can’t vote for Obama). Once in office he veers sharp left, and the dems will follow because they all want the same liberal things.

And, can I point out that none of the candidates are talking about the emerging threat of China? NObody has that on their radar. It’s going to be worse than Iraq/Iran. And it’s not like we haven’t had enough time to see it coming.

Will he sign legislation that establishes a path to citizenship for the 12 to 20 million illegals already here?

Anyone paying attention to what the man says during this campaign season knows he has virtually telegraph his intention to do so.

If McCain (or Obama, or Hillary) wins, we are garaunteed anywhere from 12 to 20 million new instant citizens, with many more millions of family members close behind.

We are well & truly screwed.

McCain needs psychiatric help, and so does anyone that believes he will change.
Bears repeating!

John McCain is the Republican’s John Kerry!

He was in Vietnam, you know.

re: Especially since this may well be the first election I haven’t voted in for many year)))

Vote anti-McCain. I've gone straight party ticket for the last time. I'm going to have to learn how to write in a candidate! Never have done that before.

There's a way for both McCain and Hillary to know that there were a lot of votes neither of them got.

re: I understand...but I get a gut wrenching hatred when I think of those criminals (the toons) back in the seat of power.))

What if they got back into power, not with a clear decisive majority (what I predict will happen with McKook)--but with a plurality?

If there's no opposition from conservatives to McCain, no protest bloc of votes or third party anger--Hillarama will have a MANDATE.

The independents will desert McCain, and the Repubs may stay home--Hillarama could stage a wipeout.

Vote anti-McCain.

That's what I'll likely do. It's just the notion of going to do it when you know your vote will not count toward a victory.

Think of it as a vote for relevancy.

I'm guessing conservatives make up 15-20% of the voting public. Blacks make up less than 15%, maybe more like 12%.

Heck, look how much political power the homosexual lobby has created! Look how effective 5-7% of the voters have become in promoting their agenda.

If conservatives formed a voting bloc of their own, willing to thwart the GOP elites, we'd be more relevant than we ever were with the GOP.

I like what you say. However it goes beyond becoming a voting block. Your examples earned their standing by being vocal adherents of their causes. We must do the same. And that will be more difficult for us because the MSM will not want to give us the exposure. But, if we're to accomplish what you promote, it will have to be done.

Do you really believe McAmnesty would appoint conservative judges that would shoot down his own McCain/Feingold???

At least with a Dem in office, a takeover of Congress by conservatives would be a sure thing (as in ‘94).

This nation cannot afford a crazy man in the White House. McCain’s actions and appearance imply that maybe he has issues with dementia, steroids use, or a sociopathic personality.

Huckabee did NOT win in West Virginia yesterday.

Pooooor Willard. Do you want a tissue?

Romney was destroyed in California and finished third in two other battleground states, Missouri and Georgia. He isn't a viable candidate and the only reason for him to remain around is to make a brokered convention possible.

I'm resignedly hoping Ron Paul makes a third party run. He'll have my vote.

Me, too. Run, Ron, run!
