Do conservatives really want to lose?
We've been losing ever since Reagan left office.
We want McCain to lose, and lose big.
If Hillary or Obama gets into office, then we'll get more conservatives in the House and Senate.
Well ... I can think of another "Mr Brooks" that could probably come up with a solution.
May I suggest "John McCain vs. the Right: No easy peace; Update: McCain at CPAC" by Michelle Malkin as a resource into his problems with conservatives.
Bump.
When you’re lecturing conservatives and Graham and Lieberman are standing next to you, my eyes glaze over.

I’m with you. Every picture of him standing on a podium shows him with other RINOS or libs.
I heard last night that he is going to use a Reagan film to “introduce” himself at CPAC today. A way of saying he has the Reagan mantle. OMG! The guy needs to get a clue. Does he not see how that will offend conservatives.
Hey wound. Meet Salt.
What McCain can say to reassure conservtives:
“I announce my withdrawal from the Presidential campaign...”
It is a mighty big “nutshell”, but that sums it up in a nutshell.
“I am mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore.”

So McCain’s master plan is too act and talk like a liberal to get some of the leftist-centrists and liberals to vote for him. Then supposedly when he gets in office he will turn his back on all these new voters and govern conservatively ? So we are supposed to be happy about this master plan to win the Presidency that is based on deception ? Apparently McCain knows nothing about conservatives. We do not govern by deceit and we despise those who do.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
.................................................
TRADITIONAL VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN UPDATED VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. Americais stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall overcome.” Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Peloski, John Kerry & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer! The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be careful how you vote in 2008.
BUSH...Compassionate Conservatism.
The only thing the conservatives of the party felt they could do to advance the republican party is to support moderate Bush. And look what they've gotten for it! This has been dissaster of biblical proportions. Conservative allowed Bush to run roughshod over them with moderate values and it's produced this McPita effect. If McPita gets nominated the only thing conservatives can do is force a brokered convention by not supporting him, because the alternative, at least at this point becomes President Hillary Clinton. < /spew chunk factor >
I will never vote for Hillary, but what I will do is sit on my dead conservative ass in November if McPita is the nominee, and millions will join me!
Ditto.
Yep.
McCain sure is selling allot of BULL!!!
