Anti-McCain forces rally on the Web

The competition for anti-John McCain Web sites is so stiff that those looking to register new ones say the best names have already been snatched up.

"Virtually every one we thought of was taken," said Robert Shoemaker, who said his site RepublicansAgainstMaverickMcCain.com will go active this week. "The first one we wanted to do was Republicans Against McCain just short and sweet. That wasn't available, and we worked all the way around different labels we could use, none of them were available."

In the end Mr. Shoemaker, who held signs at last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference protesting Mr. McCain's immigration policy, said he and his partners settled on the somewhat cumbersome name in order to preserve a version of the acronym RAM.

At last check StopMcCain.com, NoWayMcCain.com, ConservativesAgainstMcCain.com and RepublicansAgainstMcCain.com are all taken, as is IHateMcCain.com and the pointed VietnamVeteransAgainstJohnMcCain.com.

[Every time I even entertain the notion of holding my nose and voting Queeg, I come across one of your posts and the thought passes.]

And when president Obama nominates 3-far left versions of Ginsburg and they get confirmed by the 78-22 senate, I shall curse the ground you unthinking boobs walk (crawl) on.

Our little voting block has decided to either write in Hunter’s name or not vote at all. Their disgust just about equals mine, just about.

I think November will be interesting.....regardless of which way it ends up......we’re screwed anyhows.

[processing please hold]

..we’re screwed anyhows.

Big time.

I do hope that he is smart enough to not choose Huckabee as his VP though.

I heard that he is going to chose Kerry instead of Huck. You know, to unite and all that.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

You and the rest of Recent Signups for Queeg Club. I’ll try real hard to give a damn who you curse when your unelectable candidate inevitably gets slaughtered like a sacrificial lamb on November 4.

[meandog]

Of course you care. You’re trying to persuade as many people as possible to vote for the man. I’m just telling you, you’re doing a poor job. No epithets required.

No, I really don't care and I'll tell you why:
It is because, though I'm very far to the left of born-again fundamental evangelists, I am convinced the Almighty has a guiding hand on this nation (as evidenced by some eerie "coincidences of history"). So it really doesn't matter if a black man becomes the next chief executive of the United States; perhaps it will even erase some of our "white guilt."
But, if you asked me whom I believed would make a better president for me, for you, our children and grandchildren, I would say that it would be McCain. He's been pretty straight in always doing what he said he's going to do, even to the detriment to his popularity among most of you on the hard right. And he's said that he will secure the border with Mexico. He's said that he will strive hard make Bush's tax cuts permanent. And he's also said that he'll never surrender Iraq to terrorists and hunt Osama Bin Laden "to the gates of hell!"
And that's good enough for me.

He's been pretty straight in always doing what he said he's going to do, even to the detriment to his popularity among most of you on the hard right.

Well, I do have to give him that. When he says he's going to stick it to conservatives (in so many words), he always seems to follow through.

BTW, that was a much better case than the "you'll be sorry" mantra we've been hearing ad nauseam in recent weeks. Not that I agree with very much of it, but at least it's honest and from the heart.

Newt Gingrinch is backing John McCain.

And just who is your ELECTABLE candidate?

[dbacks]

By the way, McCain will get the democrat moderates and war savvy dems against Hill and would get the racist dem vote and moderates should Obama run. McCain will win.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I don’t know if anyone would have been electable against Hussein’s voodoo. I do know that no other nominee in the GOP would have torn the party apart the way McCain has, with the exception of Ron Paul.

And don’t count on those racist dems. Whatever percentage that might cross-over will be canceled out by the enormous black and youth turnout.

[puroresu]

Maybe we will just have to win over even more of the center and cut the right out of the GOP entirely. A public disassociation of the extremists, particularly the anti-immigrant jihadis, will the best course of action.

Throughout the Western world, this is what has been happening. The formerly right-wing parties have been marginalizing and then purging their most conservative members to concentrate on catering to "moderates". The result has been the same everywhere. The party loses support and also loses interest in fighting against Islamic Jihadists. If your plan of action is carried out, then in a decade the GOP will be down to about 150 House seats and 32 Senate seats, and both parties will be calling for cutting the defense budget to fund welfare programs, notwithstanding McCain's militarism.

The GOP has learned its lesson from 2006: the party cannot count on the votes of the fringe so we will have to forge a new coalition - the McCain coalition. Good luck wandering in the wilderness for the next ...oh, forever or so.

We might as well roam in the wilderness. Why remain in a party that will never again control either house of Congress?

BTW, any opinion on when the GOP will again control the California legislature, now that the state has filled up with your kind of people? How about never?

[puroresu]

Ping!

[roamer_1]

Anyone who insists on trying to derail McCain's campaign will find that avenues of opportunity will suddenly be closed off to them. Conservatives who cost McCain the presidency will be reviled and exiled following the election.

Empty muddleheaded threats. A battleship mouth and a rowboat ass. All hat and no cattle.

Half the turnout of the Democrats. Winning blue states and losing almost every red state. Leveraging open primaries. Your "tiger" is made of paper.

WHEN Conservatives deny McCain the election, it will be McCain and his ilk that are reviled and exiled as they try to crawl out of the biggest electoral crater the Republican party has ever seen. And once again, the moral of the story will be, "You can't make up for the base by moving to the middle".

What is different this time is massive defections of old guard Conservative Republicans. If they aren't careful, the Republicans may not have a base to come groveling back to.

Have a nice day.

After all of this, all the controversy, all his even worse decisions since that 2000 primary, the Manchurian candidate gets the nod in 08. Frankly, if Fred had not entered the race, it would not have happened. Period.

Crouch down and

Crouch down, and practice kissing our *ss good by!!!

You will see the website soon. I am one of the founders. I will announce it on FR.

Threats? Why, I’m in no position to issue threats. My comments were simply observations, astute observations. There is no reason for Republicans to support those who show no loyalty to their candidate and their party much less support those who actively betray both.
