Don’t you just love being lectured by a Liberal Columnist how we should think and feel about rallying to McCain! Give me a BREAK!! I am not paranoid, I’m a proud conservative, and if he thinks I need a lecture from him, he can pound sand!!
Vote Smart or don’t vote at all or why we can’t elect conservatives

Respect your opinion, and I, too, voted for Nixon. But this time I just can’t do it! I have a much lower opinion of McCain that I did for Nixon AFTER the impeachment. Just can’t vote for him. Will vote the rest of the ticket, but will skip President. No pouting, not protesting, my principles just won’t let me do it.
Actions speak louder than words. Want to see a man? Look at what he does. I have seen what McCain has done. I reject him. And I reject the party that nominates him. I am conservative first and republican only because of Reagan.
This one's a keeper. Thanks for posting.
I certainly hope he does a 3rd party run. I am tired of it.
How can someone who claims to be a conservative found an organization called “The Reform Institute?” Conservatives do Not want reform. By the very definition of the word conservative we want to maintain things as they are (conserve), or go back to the way they were in the past (traditional values).
Conservatives oppose reform. We want to maintain the greatest society and government that has ever existed as it is and as it was intended to be.
This BDS case would get a column a leftist rag like Salon.
I have to say, what you are seeing is what normally happens to rich, powerful nations: They get complacent.
We fought not one, but two foreign wars and won without even TALKING about rationing. Our military spending on the war is still less than 3% of GDP. We lost less than 4,000 in four years in battle. We’ve had seven years of unprecedented, steady economic prosperity.
It took Carter to bring about Reagan because Carter made it abundantly clear that you can party on the weekend, but someone has to show up on Monday to get the work done. The 70’s were a joke, as were most of the 60’s. It was time to send the kids packing and hire an adult.
Folks, if there is ONE THING that is out of vogue in 2008, its the notion of adult responsibility. The banks have been gaming one system after another. McCain and the moderates gamed the Constitution. Both parties gamed Mexican Immigration. All of this because they are largely immune from the effects of it. They have a plan B if it goes to hell, where most of us don’t.
At such time as it goes too far from hell, and the children realize the game isn’t going their way, an adult seems to emerge to clean up after the kids. That was Reagan.
Frist and Hastert - they will both go down in history as the squanderous losers that they are, but the blame should really go to the anonymous back benchers like Jerry Lewis, Ted Stevens (and his idiot daughter), Larry Craig, and others.
Just vote your conservative principles and stay the course. It might take a decade, if we are still around, but this too shall pass.
"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."-- Ronald Reagan, CPAC February 15, 1975
Hey, I am taking a second look at Paul. He is at the least, Constitutional.
He looks better every moment. Kind of like those women at closing time at the bar!
LOL
I am serious though. I would vote for him now.
Well said.
Californians have had to watch Schwarzenkennedy for 4 years as he surrounds himself with liberals and pushes the agenda of leftists, all under the "Republican" label. I cannot stomach more of the same on a nationwide basis.
If McCain doesn’t scare you, you need to get off the booze and Prozac, and let a little light shine through the cobwebs. That goes for conservatives and liberals alike. In McCain, this nation is toying with having its own little Hitler. He is a socialistic militarist with a short fuse and an endless supply of arrogant vindictiveness. “There will be more wars.” That is one McCain statement you can take to the bank. Make sure you aren’t one of his enemies, because McCain isn’t the kind of guy who will take the time to distinguish between domestic and foreign enemies, and in his mind, his personal enemies are this nation’s enemies.
i STILL WON’T SUPPORT McCain...........................!!!
Likewise. If I did, I would inevitably face the prospect of having to remove all mirrors in my humble abode, lest they remind me of what I once professed to believe in.
It is not MY link, but take a look, incase anyone missed it...
John McCain Gets Soros Cash - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1360852/posts
To a point, its sort of like rubbernecking an accident on the highway or watching NASCAR for the wrecks or the hockey for the fights.
McCain isn't my ideological pick. But too many of you folks were claiming show us a conserative candidate and I'll show you a winner everytime. Many of the "true" conservative candidates couldn't get out of the starting gate. Even the manufactured one (Thompson) really got no real traction other than from his fan club.
You claimed the losses of the Senate and House were because of RINOs, yet one of the most conservative Senate members (Santorum) got blown out and conservative representative candidate never stood a chance. Yes, many RINOS, especially in the house got knocked out. And because they were in competitive districts. Not because they were RINOS.
C'mon man. You don't have to act like a 3 year old throwing a fit. Conservatives are the first to say life isn't fair. Yet when they don't get their way, they go off and throw a tantrum.
You're biggest fear isn't McCain. Your biggest fear is if he wins and conservatives sit out. Now the facade of the power of the conservative wing, especially the socially conservative wing will find itself "saying pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
I've long said that power was more perceptional than actual. November may prove me right.
