McCain Didn’t Close the Deal ... (faces a real quandary)

something is mentally off with more than McCain.

He's a sadist who verbally abuses folks who disagrees with him.

[SE Mom]

According to my source, McCain has prepared a video featuring President Ronald Reagan to make the introduction. If McCain uses this video, it is very likely to backfire badly. This is the group before which Ronald Reagan said in 1975 that, “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.”

Wow. IF McCain is, in fact, foolish enough to try this stunt- he will incur even greater wrath from the right. That he’s even THINKING about it- shows his complete misunderstanding of who conservatives are. A transparent attempt to pander using Reagan as a symbol will fall flat- and ensure our continuing dislike and distrust of the man.

The best speeches at last years CPAC were Coulter and Romney. McCain skipped it, since he's not conservative, of course. Hopefully the young College Republicans there shout down McCain tommorrow.

[SUSSA]

A McCain-Huckabee ticket now appears a real possibility.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse...

He’ll have to have someone of that ilk on the ticket. I don’t think he can get a conservative to run with him. Other possibilities could include Ted Kennedy, Diane Feinstein, and Harry Reid, all share his liberal views and are corrupt.

SO what do we do? Vote 3rd party? Stay home? Either way, we'll be letting the dems have it all.

Last week somebody said, "I'd rather the country go to hell under the democrats than the republicans. It took a Carter to give us a Regan." Perhaps it's time to let it go.

While some will say that McCain’s 70-odd percent rating from the ACU makes him ok more often than he’s not, it’s that 25%+ that gives conservatives heartburn!

[Mitt Romney]

Just want to say that although I didn't support Thompson I do respect how he has avoided endorsing McCain. It would be easy for him to go along with the herd mentality of idiots like Gov. Perry but he hasn't.

Perhaps that’s the goal, make more of us stay ‘home’.
He knows he cannot get the conservative vote.

My God, how many times are Republicans going to go back to this abusive relationship? I’m not - I’m getting a divorce. I’m out of the marriage.

Perfect analogy--an abusive relationship--or even "Stockholm Syndrome"--"loving" the Republican establishment even though it holds conservatives hostage.

Sadly, I’m leaning that way.

McCain might regret this gig before its over.

Kind of makes you depressed, but I guess sometimes its for the greater good.I am just going to have to prepare myself for the worst and hope for the best.

“SO what do we do? Vote 3rd party? Stay home? Either way, we’ll be letting the dems have it all.”

It would be ideal if like-minded people could all agree on a true conservative for a protest vote. Maybe Hunter as an example, (or write in Ronald Reagan). Simply not voting for the top line sends no information to the worthless pukes who now run the republican party.

[N. Theknow]

McCain (R-AZ)

McCain la-(R-AZ)-a

[IrishMike]

McCain is not simply a RINO like Hagel, Snow, and Specter et al. He’s a “maverick”. He ENJOYS sticking his finger in they eye of conservatism. He doesn’t just VOTE for bad legislation, he COMPOSES AND SPONSORS it!

[longtermmemmory]

The senile seniors voted for:

vietname prisoner guy,
or
Mormon guy,
or
evangelical preacher guy

ZERO depth.

CPAC is a not going to even register on the public mind.

"....Especially since this may well be the first election I haven’t voted in for many years....."

By staying home you help put Clowntoon back into the Whitehouse. What's worse?

[teddyballgame]

Everyone faults Romney for becoming more conservative, it’ll be interesting to see what McCain says and how the MSM portrays it. If McCain suddenly gets religeon and embraces certain conservative views will they call him a flip-flopper? a political oportunist willing to say anything?

I hope he does get booed off the stage and finishes dead last. Who is he tryin’ to fool?

[chainsaw]

McCain is America’s Khrushchev...and he is going to bury us.
