Well done, Rush,
and thank you, very, very much.
I have so much to add to this, McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, and Lieberman-McCain, really makes my blood boil.

Read the Articles...

(NRO: Dirty Deal? Bradford Berenson)
(Senate Votes To Confirm Priscilla Owen To Federal Bench: 7 Republicans abandon GOP on filibuster)
(Frist: IT AIN'T OVER YET)

What should McCain say to the conservatives?
What I love to hear his say is,

"I'm sorry.
I was wrong to turn my back on the base of the party, the conservatives.
I realize that I can't get the conservatives' support, so I resign my office, and resign my campaign for the Presidency."

But that power hungry, vile piece of garbage, ain't gonna' do that.

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 think they've made their case against me pretty eloquently,' he said, adding wryly, 'if that's the right word.'
Sounds to me like he's admitting that he's an ass in an elephant's clothing.

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.

Yeah, where is the Republican Party in all this? I'll tell you where. Look what has happened. The Republicans took over congress in 1994. Gingrinch inacted the Contract With American. Republicans were on a B-Line to utterly and completely dimsantle big government. When they started too the DBM/dems threw up their arms and went berserk. In the thirteen years since then as a party we've gone from a strong unified conservative movement to this wishy-washy McPita rino/moderate quagmire. What happened?

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!

"What should McCain say to the conservatives? What I love to hear his say is, "I'm sorry. I was wrong to turn my back on the base of the party, the conservatives. I realize that I can't get the conservatives' support, so I resign my office, and resign my campaign for the Presidency."

If he said those things and did resign his office and his campaign, I might be able to forgive him and respect him. But an ice machine in hell is more likely to happen than McAmnesty ever saying those things. If McAmnesty is on the ballot in November, I either vote third party or write-in Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, or Lou Dobbs (Lou gets it on stopping the illegal alien invasion and securing our borders and ports).

Muckain: Keep compromising with 'em till we've completely capitulated all conservatism, right???

FReepers: Never!!!

[End Times Crusader]

Rush and the rest of the RINOs are nothing but a bunch of egotistical blowhards, and I now question if they were ever real Republicans to begin with. They like Democrats so much, let them join them.

“If Hillary or Obama gets into office, then we’ll get more conservatives in the House and Senate?”

This is nonsense. Utter nonsense.
