Live McCain Speech at CPAC

[Bob J]

"When McCain loses in Nov, you can thank your McCain style of campaigning for the loss."

I don't expect to move anyone who is stomping their feet and have their fingers in their ears...they aren't listening anyway. Hopefully though, some of the few rational, thinking people left on FR may read my words and consider them. BTW - I'm not campaigning.

"Screaming “grow up” at people who are making a(n) rational irrational serious emotional adult juvenile decision hissy fit based on the facts their anger of McCain’s record is not going to win your candidate any votes."

I am not trying to win any votes, I am asking people to think logically and with an eye to making lemons out of lemonade.

"Screaming "the other guy is worse" doesn't answer the very real concerns people who know McCains record have about him."

I'm not trying to answer concerns about McCains past record, I ask people to put their emotions aside at this point and make decisions based on getting some of what they want instead of chucking it out the window and ushering another 4-8 years of a Clinton White House and Congress. Which is the adult action?

"Your style of campaigning, will in fact, cost him votes."

I am not campaigning. It is up to the individual adult to weigh the options and make a realistic decision.

[Williams]

OK so you are mad at McCain today for giving a speech that appealled to conservative values. You really need to reflect on what you are saying.

[Anti-Hillary]

I am grateful for your intellectual honesty. You speak the truth that so many here can not see or are to stubborn to ever see.

Political alliances work like marriage relationships. Their always is going to be give and take and compromise. Those here that want it their way or the highway are just unrealistic.

I refer to my tagline for my bottom line in this years election....

[DoughtyOne]

I've made my decision and it does not include...

[DoughtyOne]

I wasn’t aware of that.

[publana]

Of course I don’t want Hillary. If McCain were to pick somebody of Jeff Sessions calibre I could vote for him.

Were you not around when McCain clubbed us in the back of the knees continually for the past 8 years? For him to be rewarded for his disgusting behavior by receiving the nomination of the Republican Party is abhorrent.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Don't like it? - too bad there's nothing you can do about it.

Actually there is, we can vote against your candidate just to spite you, if you continue to annoy us.

[joebuck]

"Actually there is, we can vote against your candidate just to spite you, if you continue to annoy us."

Go for it. We'll roll right over you.

[publana]

Have you missed this jerk’s posts over the last few days?

[mass55th]

"No they bussed in McCain drones are screaming McCain McCain. There aren’t any Conservatives left in the room."

I'm just listening to Ari Fleischer on John Gibson's show, and he is mentioning that there was a standing ovation for McCain at the CPAC convention, and that CPAC is full of staunch Conservatives. I'm sure my neighbors don't appreciate it, but I'm yelling at the TV screen: "That's because he bussed in his supporters you morons!! Get your facts right!!!" I'd read Trueblackman's postings earlier about how he saw this with his own eyes at the convention. Why the media can never tell the truth is beyond me.

[LADY J]

Did you see this? Is that McCain/Feingold really tied to Soros backing it??

I just read this on another FR thread. Things looks pretty darn bad for us!! Soros cash behind McCain/Feingold?

I’m sure “Mac” would be proud to have someone of your ilk bandying his name as if you are a personal friend of his. /sarc

[presently no screen name]

giving a speech that appealled to conservative values.

willy - any a$$ can give a speech. You DON'T APPEAL to conservative values - you walk in conservative values - then appeal is not needed. McLiar has deliberately walked in his own liberal crap - backstabbing conservatives.

You really need to reflect on what you are saying.

Don't you tell me what the F to do. You got that bucko? Save your 'do's and do not's" for your CPAC crowd - you liberal pawn.

[antisocial]

“McCain has a reputation for standing by his positions. He simply is not a flip flopper.”

Wow, man got any more of that stuff you’re smokin’?

[joebuck]

"I’m sure “Mac” would be proud to have someone of your ilk bandying his name as if you are a personal friend of his. /sarc"

Boo hoo. Go iron my shirt. LOL

[Bob J]

That room at CPAC holds a couple thousand people. The word from Tbm was “a couple” busses rolled in which would mean a couple hundred people at best.

To infer that a couple hundred people controlled a couple thousand is ridiculous. If anything, the caution from CPAC officials not to boo rendered them silent which allowed the McCain faction to rule the roost.

Chalk one up for the McCain campaign. CPAC got out manuevered.

[Williams]

Rude crude and stupid is no way to go through life. Is using the “F” word one of your conservative values?

[mass55th]

Are you that gullible?

[presently no screen name]

We'll roll right over you.

Spoken in McCain style.

[DoughtyOne]

I have to tell you, that doesnt’ surprise me one bit.

I do appreciate you mentioning it... and urge you to do it until it sinks in!
