"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
And that’s just scratching the surface.
I hope McCain and his sycophants will read this today. It sums everything up perfectly. And Charen doesn’t even mention McCain’s volcanic performance during the debate over his amnesty bill, when he called Pete Domenici an a**hole and Chuck Grassley an idiot; and when he concluded secret backroom deals with Ted Kennedy and tried to ram the bill through without hearings or debate. Why should conservatives shut up and tolerate such a man? Surely we can do better.
I had never heard that story. McCain really is a jerk, isn't he?
"Heartbreak" is the right word here.
I abhor the thought of voting for Hillary O'bama.
But if I vote for McCain, aren't I just encouraging the party to offer up more just like him?
If I don't vote at all, then I am unreachable, and thus written off by both parties, I suppose.
"Heartbreak" is the right word.
There are quirks in McCain’s personality, like this self-righteousness, his hair-trigger temper, etc., that really concern me. I don’t understand his thought processes. Going to Kerry to offer to be his VP candidate was squirrely. His conserva-liberal schizo-platform is beyond my understanding. Having said all that, I agree with Romney’s decision.
Let’s suppose Romney had mounted the steep incline to the Repub nomination. He had another uphill climb against the Dems. How much did he want to pay for this whole thing out of his own pocket? Especially for those kind of chances. His points at CPAC were extremely valid. The best Repub candidate to proffer those issues is McCain. I REALLY hate to say that. The realities we face stink, but I think Romney made the right decision, for himself, and for his country. We a couple years until mid-terms to figure ourselves out as conservatives and re-group. We need to re-visit Reagan and Newt’s Contract with America and see if we can’t recapture a winning posture and communication.
I don’t care what John McCain says to conservatives in between now and November. He is not a conservative and he would not govern as a conservative if he were elected.
I am so angry that the general election is almost 9 months away and McCain is now the presumptive nominee of our party. Since I live in Ohio, I have not voted in the primaries yet and regardless of who I vote for next month, my vote won’t matter. Conservatives are being disenfranchised in this election. In November we will have the choice of voting for a liberal Democrat or a RINO. I’m tired of voting for moderate Republicans just because because they are “less liberal” than their Democrat opponents. I used to criticize conservatives who stayed home rather than vote for moderate Republicans, but this year, I might be joining them.
A better understanding of the US Constitution is in order for all of us.
You know, we have nine(9) months between now and the election. The Dem. nominee may not be determined for months. Mc cain’s VP nominee hasn’t been selected. I think people who are making these Shermanesk statements at this time are full of hot air and are expressing emotion of the moment. A more sobering thought might influence them in November given the stark difference in the choices.
Every time an issue came up for McCain that pitted his Democrat friends against the conservative base, he consistently sided with the Democrats. (See McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Lieberman, et cetera, ad nauseum.)
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.
Very good article.
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
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!

I'm still going to vote for McNutt.
This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a verified traitor. Born in Dallas he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last job was serving as Mexican President Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director."
Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation."
The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA.
And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week he was asked about this choice, and he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions.
Yet out of the other side of his mouth he says "He has heard us" and he will "Secure the border first."
Juan Shamnesty McCain is precisely a treacherous liar.
McCain rhymes with Disdain. Nice catch Mona.
McCain was in Vietnam? Who would have guessed it?
