McCain’s fans do their candidate no favors by telling him the only people who can save his candidacy are unhinged.
And Romney's admirers...
And Guiliani's admirers...
And Thompson's...
And Paul's...
And Keyes's...
And Hunter's...
And Huckabee's...
“He is headed, though, for a defeat of McGovernite dimensions....”
If its against Obama. He will look like the old,tired man that he is. Not his fault,but between his looks and his constant pissing off of conservatives,it will be OVER about 8:05 on the second Tuesday in Nov.
-—To add insult to insult, McCain was also defeated in Louisiana by the likable but hopeless Huckabee, whose campaign at this point is an eccentricity.-—
I can think of some other words for the Huckabee candidacy. He deprived us of the opportunity to stop McCain after Florida.
Why would I want to waste my vote for a consistently proven Constitution trashing, national security eroding liberal?
No - John McCain is.
I had a dream where all this Rhetoric from Conservatives against McCain was for the purpose of making the Rats believe that the Republican party was fractured somehow and that their candidate McCain was in a bad spot trying to unite a disillusioned party and yet maintain appeal to the moderates...then in NOV they came together and he won in a landslide victory over the Massiah Obama..
I don't have anything against him personally. Anyone who will call Communists "Slanty-eyed c__ks___rs" is all right in my book. However, getting the crap kicked out of you by future DNC donors is no qualification to become President.
This is nothing unusual, beltway bluebloods have always belittled their red state base while at the same time taking for granted they would fall in line despite the abuse.
First of all, McCain is far superior to Obama or Hillary. And if nominated, I hope he wins.
But even if he loses, conservatives gain. We can tell the moderates in the party, “You had your chance and you lost. Next we are going to nominate a real conservative.”
Last night, I had a dream involving Salma Hayek; a pair of handcuffs; and leather breakaway nurse's outfit.
My dream is going to come true before yours will. ;)
Yep. He might have a chance against Hillary. It would come down to which one of them is perceived as less irrational. But he doesn't have a chance against Obama.
Those aren’t dreams, that’s the crack pipe talkin’. McCain is exactly what the DNC driven media wants him to be- a stalking horse.
Yes , is the short answer to your question. McCain as I have said months starting with the Michigan Primary. Democrats and some of the independents and almost every single Democrat “never had any intention of voting for John McCain in the General Election”.
It was nothing but a Primary safeguard. By this I mean that even though the Democrats want a Democrat on parer more than anything, if the Democrats had to have a Republican President they would chose John McCain since from “the perspective of the Democrats” McCain is the “LEAST CONSERVATIVE”.
So it is not too hard to see why this is taking place today with his supposed support all of the sudden drying up. The other problem of course is that “Conservatives” on the whole are not supporting McCain either. So this is why McCain is a dead man walking as I see the outcome taking place in November.
This is not all bad. I am glad only because it will show that Ronny Reagan is still correct today. That the way to win is not to act like the Democrats it is to show why Conservatism is the path to prosperity.
While this is not the case in the short run since Republican Phony McCain will lose, it does cause Republcans to think twice about who we are as a party. This will allow Republicans to see Liberalism does not work in our party after a while. Enough liberals, is looking to be like enough is enough. I welcome this change. It will only give us hope to restore out party. It will be painful though.
“Are John McCain’s supporters trying to drive conservatives away from their candidate?”
“No - John McCain is.”
McCain will be out nominee. But just don’t ask him any important questions!

A very slim chance.Shades of 2000.Lawyers,voting”irregularities”,”disenfranchising”,SCOTUS,cats and dogs living together,....mass hysteria!
“But even if he loses, conservatives gain. We can tell the moderates in the party, “You had your chance and you lost. Next we are going to nominate a real conservative.””
More likely, they’ll say: “We lost because John McCain was too pro-war, and too conservative!” and put up someone like Michael Bloomberg instead.
Sorry to say, any party that wants McCain as its standard bearer ISN’T my party.
