Right now I’m feeling like the real mother in the story in the Bible where the Judge issues the edict to cut the baby in half to resolve the issue over the two women claiming to be the child’s mother.
My Country is at stake. Can I trust one man that I despise who represents my Party or sit on my hands on 11/8 and allow socialism overtake our society.
Boy, did she nail it! He has done too many things over the years that convince me he is NOT a friend of business, he fights tax cuts, he supports far too many liberal programs, and he's in bed with far too many liberals. All I want is somebody who realizes that I know how to spend my money better than Washington does and will work to create an environment where productive people reap the benefits of their own effort and those who aren't productive get the benefits of their own efforts...not mine.
McCain is really pretty easy to understand. He started out as a real conservative Reaganite, but in many ways “went native” after too many years in Washington. His ego is gigantic and took a huge hit in 2000. He carries grudges and carried an enormous grudge against Bush and his team after the 2000 election which he believed he should have won. He went after the 527s with McCain-Feingold because he thought they would hurt him in a future presidential run. He thinks he is always right, whether his position is conservative or liberal, and anyone who disagrees with him is either corrupt or stupid. He is his own political party.
If I vote for that ass hole then I blame my self for what I got, I will not vote for someone I distain then watch the party self destruct.
“Why should conservatives shut up and tolerate such a man? Surely we can do better”
Got any realistic ideas, because the dope from Hope doesn’t cut it either.
Polls show something different, but then the polls in NH were wrong. I tend to disagree with you. I do see this as a time we conservatives need to re-group and “find ourselves”, as Hillary puts it. We need to review Reagan and Newt’s Contract with America and find what it was that propelled conservatism into leadership.
I fear that this election is going to be a dilemma in the true sense of the word: Two choices, both bad.
Yep and Now I will support McCain for President with all my heart and soul...
Just as soon as the monkeys show up...
Very good article.
I never thought about it this way, but you're right!
“He went after the 527s with McCain-Feingold because he thought they would hurt him in a future presidential run. “
Everything else you said I have heard or thought before, but the above was a light bulb going on for me. Could you expand your thoughts on that?
McCain claims to be a footsoldier in the Reagan revolution, I would ask the Little Senator how does McCain/Feingold , McCain/ Kennady/Edwards, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/ Liebermann promote the conservative agenda?
His hallmark legislation does not a promote conservatitve position, he will get called on it. McCain’s thin fasade will crumble. No one is going to vote for a phoney. I fear we’re in for an Obama presidency
Unfortunately - I don't like being treated like an abused wife by the party elite!!
We've taken enough 'hold your nose & vote for the best of the worst'.
McCain has been the worst offender at deliberately doing things to show his disdain for us conservatives.
I have not made my decision about what I will do at this time.
I cannot vote for John McCain and would not even consider voting for a Democrat. But I won’t stay home on election day - there will be congressional votes to be cast and hopefully we can influence the outcome of these races. Voting conservatives into congress may be our only hope for thwarting the policies of which ever liberal ends up in the White House. As for presidental voting - write in the person of your choice. To stay home and not vote at all is to give up your right to voice your opinion plus it will only make matters worse. Just do what you can do - and never, never, never, never give up!
Well said. I won't surrender the war because of a lost battle.
That said, for every conservative who refuses to pull the lever, there is a liberal who would rather see McCain than whoever the dems nominate.

I'm still going to vote for McNutt.
She hits it on the head, and I’m still going to vote for McCain. The alternative is unacceptable.
