Our best move at this point seems to be working for a conservative congress to keep mckennedy's feet to the fire.

I like to think big picture, like an adult. The scenario is having Hilary or Obama make Jimmy Carter look like Abe Lincoln. Then in 4 years we can elect anyone we choose. If we can live for 4 years by not having Al Queda detonate a nuke in a major city it may work. Short term thinking is the “McCain is our only hope” thinking.

I agree 1000% Local work to get CONSERVATIVE reps is (as usual, I guess) very important.

A wise post. We as conservatives can put zero pressure on Hillary or Obama, but we can exert some influence on McCain.

Don’t care anymore. Vote for whoever. This race has gotten boring and predictable. The only thing that needs to happen to finish my prediction is for Hillary to swear in. In fact, why wait until November, just do it now. What in the world is wrong in America?

We get this same argument 10 times a day now. 180 some days till the election X 10 = 1800 more times to listen to it. I could hear it 180,000 more times and the answer is still no, I won’t vote for him.

Yes. Bush would have signed McCain/Kennedy, hell he pushed for it and he has been a pretty good overall President. If Ginsberg leaves and a moderate to conservative judge replaces her we have the makings of overturning Roe vs. Wade and McCain/Feingold.

Cut spending, better judges, same on taxes, loves the military.

Obama/Hillary: raised taxes, raised spending, hate military, Ginsberg replaced with younger Ginsberg clone and we still get amnesty because we could really lose in Congress if too many people stay home.

McCain will win because once Conservatives cool down and consider the alternatives, McCain looks good.

Call me cynical. I believe that when all the counts are final, and all the analyses are completed, we will find that conservatives by the millions sat home and did not vote in the primaries through Super Tuesday. The other half of the Republican Party was denied a chance to even select a candidate. Think about that.

Oh look another “Get in line and tow the party line” post. Sorry. This troop is going off the reservation. McCain can KISS MY HAIRY WHITE @$$. Actions speak louder than words and McCain’s actions speak volumes about how liberal he is.

Our party’s primaries have been hijacked by casual voters, liberals, moderates and even Democrats..Our Evangelical friends have to shoulder much of the blame..the conservative radio talkers..

Don't forget to blame the "losertarians", the "Hucklebees", the "FredHeads", the "Bushbots", and the marble carrying conservatives....anyone will do. Don't represent your constituency. Blame them!!

When all elected, and campaigning Republicans are identified RINOs, the word ceases to have any meaning. They are not RINOs, they are simply Republicans.

I am already growing tired of these articles where party hacks lecture us like unruly children. I will not support an enemy of the United States Constitution just because there is some even worse enemy elsewhere. We should oppose all enemies, foreign and domestic.

To me it’s not that he will be worse than either Democrat, he won’t. Despite him being an obstacle that the Republicans always had to deal with within the party, there is still some clear differences in the voting records between McCain and Hillary and Obama. Right to Life being one. However is is not popular with the conservative base and I don’t think that is going to change much in 9 months. We have to look back at how razor thin close the last two elections were when we had a “popular” George Bush running. Does anyone think the GOP has a chance nominating a candidate that is much less popular than Bush was? You want a sign of how the GOP is not impressed with McCain. Following the Bush speech at CPAC yesterday the crowd was chanting "4 more years, 4 more years."

I voted for Bush but my vote did not elect him. Bush got elected because he was liked by voters and disliked by the MSM and Washington insiders. McCain will not get elected with or without my vote because the opposite is true. McCain is too too arrogant to be liked by the average voter and he is absolutely loved by the MSM and Washington insiders. Forget the stupid political comparisons. Bush carried swing voters because he was more likeable that an arrogant Washington insider Senator named John Kerry. McCain has no chance against Obama. Obama is just more likeable than McCain to voters who really matter the ones in the middle who decide elections. Obama is running as an outsider which he is not and he is not even mentioning ideology. Obama is the recepient of a lotta of MSM love, but besides that he comes off as a likeable guy. There is more reason to be scared of Obama than McCain because he is so inexperienced and naaive. But in the long run he will beat McCain for the same reason Bush beat Kerry, and that is, he is more likeable.

I agree, although I would point out that I went behind enemy lines and voted in the Demon primary. I'm still washing my hands.

I can't see McCain winning. McCain will melt down in the debates with either Clinton or Obamanation. The press will turn on him now. Even if he holds on through debates, those who hate Clinton will more likely vote for Obamanation not McCain. Many Repubs who can't stand McCain and won't vote for him will be allowing a dim to win.

Even if he does happen to win the Presidency, I keep hearing we can put pressure on McCain.....I don't see him giving in to pressure, he's arrogant and too proud of being the maverick.

If you think McCain won’t be better than either one,

What will it matter after McAmnesty and 40+++ and then some more + million new Democrats added to the electorate?
