The best was “Gunfight at the OK Corral” IMHO. Does anybody else remember “Bad Day At Black Rock”? The sequel approaches!

I agree with you, but this is what the convention is going to look like.

If he needs us, then we have some bargaining power

That's pretty much the way I see it.

Look, the next POTUS could end up replacing six supreme court justices. Democrats don't even care about this. They're standing in line for the "gimmees". We can't leave this to Clintonbama.

I send it to all the bases.

I think the soldiers love especially the part where Wyatt and Doc Holiday track down and kill all the gang members.

The writer knows nothing of High Noon. It was about honor and loyalty. McCain has no loyalty to his party or its agenda and his last honorable act was 30 years ago. He forgets that he is OUR servant, we are not his. He didn’t do his job, getting the republican agenda passed. Instead he spent all his time trying to shut us down.

I have to admit, I think Val Kilmer’s Doc Holiday was the best.

"If he needs us, then we have some bargaining power - and his past sins should cost him. What price? Simply put - THE FUTURE. "

My price is a completed fence. He's got six months. For a Senator with 24 years experience, he should be able to do it. For someone who wants to be President, it's no big deal at all. If he can't or won't, the hell with him.

Oh c'mon now. We're not going into that "John McCain is a Democrat mole" stuff, are we? That's just nuts.

Mole, probably not. Puppet, even though he doesn't realize it, very likely. John McCain seems to like the accolades he gets when he crosses the aisle. Indeed, I believe they have become more important to him than any of the conservative issues he once stood for.

If this guy is still even remotely conservative, there should be some recent examples (say, last six years) of him siding with us on close votes, or of him unleashing his temper at Democrats. I wish someone would be kind enough to provide me with some, since I would think there must be something.

A fence and a VP works for me.

What kind of president would we have with a John McCain bitterly convinced that he has won despite, or even against, the conservative movement?

McCain will blame the conservatives when he loses. The Rep party is committing suicide by noommating McCain. Yes, he won fair and square under the rules, but the rules have given us a candidate who can only muster about 35% of the vote and alienates the rest.

McCain better pray and hope that Hillary is the nominee, because she is the only one who can energize and motivate the Rep base. Obama will beat him like a rented mule.

The read I get on McCain from conservatives is that it goes beyond policy disagreements. They hate the guy.

My dislike for him probably rises to the level of hate, much as I'd prefer to limit it to "loathing". He has made abundantly clear that he holds no allegiance to the GOP nor to conservatism. I see no reason to expect that he will do anything other than stab us in the back every chance he gets.

Policy disagreements are fine. The fact that he regards conservatives as being at best a nuisance is not.

No way. Uh-uh. Not possible. I've had any number of huffily indignant Juan McCain shills splutter at me, over the past several days, their Absolute Received Wisdom that we lowly, wretched social cons are all far, far too (their own words) "fringe," "marginal" and "insignificant" to merit even the most minimal attention and/or regard of the Republican party. Therefore -- logically -- we must ALSO be too "fringe," "marginal" and "insignificant" to effect any significant difference in the results of this election, whether we glumly cast ballots for Vicente Fox, Jr. or otherwise.

I'm calling shenanigans on the author's analysis. ;)
Amen. The McCain shills came out of the woodwork didn't they? It was sickening.

I have never seen such a thing. Where do you encounter this kind of treatment?

There's nothing so exhilarating as ... pulling both barrels, at the same time.
