The Rant For McCain

2/8/08 | Wagonboy

To all you proud and die hard conservatives who are so faithful to your conservative principles that you can't bring yourself to back Senator McCain: grow up, wake up and stand up for the most qualified and conservative candidate in the race for the Presidency who stands far closer to your ideals and values than The Clintons or Obama. (I should also add, hold your nose.) To "sit this one out" is not an option. Pride, selfishness and misguided righteousness will usher in an Obama or Clinton x 2 White House with decades of disastrous consequences for our economy, military, taxes, courts, energy, immigration, our children and our grandchildren.

McCain's not my first choice, in fact he wasn't even my third choice back when Hunter still had a pulse. But he's now the guy on our team with the ball running down the field. Sure, we can allow the Liberals to have the ball and advance their radical agenda toward their goal, or, we can fight like hell to advance the ball towards our goal line. It may take longer with a McCain White House and we may not like a lot of McCain's antics and positions, but I'd rather have him and his cabinet to deal with the nation and the world than the two Clintons and their well entrenched socialists, liberals, pacifists, and money-men or Obama's starry-eyed leftist utopians. It makes more sense to, at the least, hold our field position than it does to let the liberals advance their positions. Who would you rather have prosecuting this war, McCain or one of the two weak-kneed pacifists who have vowed to strip our victorious troops from the evolving successes in Iraq and the war on Islamofacism around the globe? Who would you rather have holding the pen when legislation reaches the executive branch on taxes, entitlement spending, health care, military spending, FISA policy, energy, marriage between a man and a woman, trade policy, and the so called fairness doctrine? What would the Clintons or Obama do with the nuts in Iran, North Korea, China, Venezuela, and various thugs around the globe? Who do you think that cast of characters would like to deal with? An old war-horse or some "can't-we-all-just-get-along" negotiator backed by MoveOn.org? The State Department, the FBI, CIA and every alphabet bureaucracy in D.C. have enough anti-American leftist rats scurrying around in them right now. How many more leftist vermin could the Clintons or Obama give birth to to populate your federal institutions with lifetime employment? Who's 6 Supreme Court Justices would you like to live with for the next 20 to 30 years? There's over 100 federal judge posts open across the country, too, just waiting for the next President to populate. Is there any doubt over what type of card carrying ACLU lawyers the Clintons or Obama would sprinkle throughout the nation's judiciary? How well will the down ticket conservatives and local conservative issues on the November ballots fair while you indignantly sit it out and let the country go to hell in a Democratically controlled hand basket? I suggest you get off your high, obstinate and stubborn horse, (as I've humbly done) and find the nearest McCain for President office to pick up a yard sign and stick it over your Romney/Huckabee/Paul/Thompson sign to show where you're allegiance originates and where it is now. Please don't contribute to Monica Lewinski’s ex-boyfriend’s wife or Barak Obama becoming your Commander in Chief. That prospect keeps me up at night. At times we can’t always move the ball down the field as fast and effectively as we’d like. At times it’s a ton of blood, sweat and tears just to keep the ball where it is. We’re at that time. But all that effort will be well spent to keep the Clintons or Obama out of the White House and to keep them from steamrolling their corrosive, leftist agenda and values into the institutions of this nation.

I’ll vote for McCain if you promise to use paragraphs next time.

Once you get past the treason thing....

Don't listen to McCain's promises of the moment: observe his actions.

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.

Sorry...you don't advance conservative principles by voting for a liberal just because he has an 'R' by his name.

If we'd taken your advice in 1976, the Reagan Revolution would never have come to pass in 1980.

[NeilGus]

No thanks.

McCain has called my kind “agent(s) of intolerance.”

I would not expect him to welcome my support.

[Names Ash Housewares]

There is no victory in losing.

I will vote for McCain over Hilda-bama anyday.

The war on terror and the supreme court are reason enough for any conservative to do so.

That choice should be obvious, once emotions are put aside.

Imagine if B. Hussein gets it...

Anyone on the fence or still stubborn needs to read the above. Country before politics. Conservatives know this. Let the democrats do that.

[digger48]

Paragraphs man, paragraphs!

[CaptainK]

< p > is our friend.

[SoConPubbie]

Sorry, not playing the “Lessor of Two Evils” game anymore.

McAmnesty will lose because he does not represent the base and the base will not get energized.

Maybe the GOP will learn something from the coming debacle.

[TexasCajun]

Rant all you want!

Telling me to sit down, behave, be quite and grow up is not the way to make friends and influence people!

I will NEVER vote for MeCain.

So rant on till you're blue in the face.

[Ingtar]

If I vote for McCain and he miraculously wins, the next batch of presidential candidates on the R side will be even more to the Left. I’m no longer going down that road.

[Perdogg]

if these people didn’t want such a *perfect* candidate, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

They didn’t want Fred, they didn’t want Rooty, so guess what they get.

[AbeKrieger]

For McCain to improve his chances with the “base” he needs to get elected, he better strongly consider a conservative VP with strong conservative positions on issues where McCain is perceived to be weak... and give the VP some power to lead on some of those issues.

As for me, I’ll be supporting him over B. Hussein or Billary. Not doing so would be destructive to this nation. The next pres will have at least two, and perhaps three nominations to the Supreme Court, and I do NOT want B. Hussein or Billary making those picks. The only alternative at this time is McCain. I’ll cast my lot there.

[e-male]

As a conservative, I’ve known for years that I (and others like me) would never vote for McCain. So why did so many Republicans choose a candidate who wouldn’t get the party’s base to vote for him? Are they stupid?

[pennboricua]

Why are so many assumming that people will not show up to vote for conservatives for both the House or Senate?

I will leave the portion for President blank but wil support with time and funds other candidates, as i am sure many more will do as well.

[ClearCase_guy]

I would welcome a 50-state sweep. Maybe that would get the GOP’s attention.

[JaneNC]

In other words, unless Ronald Reagan is reincarnated conservatives just won’t vote.

Makes sense.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Here's my campaign contribution for Juan McCain, in the currency I know he most adores:

Tell him I said to make certain he doesn't end up frittering it all away in one place... 'kay?

[Digital Sniper]

if these people didn’t want such a *perfect* candidate, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Blaming conservatives for the failure of RINOs is disingenuous at best. If the Republican Party doesn't want to lose, it should stop trying to force the base to vote for liberals who think we're "agents of intolerance." (McCain's words, not mine.)

[mel]

Sorry won’t vote for McCain. No, I am not sorry. I am sad that GOP didn’t get a better candidate, but it is compromising my conservative values to vote for him and just won’t do that.
