I understand how you feel.
Its past time for another political party.
But allowing Hillary or Obama in would be a betrayal of all the brave fighting men and women in our armed services and all the deaths, sufferings and grief they and their families have undergone in Iraq. All of that will have gone to naught if Hillary or Obama winds up in Washington.
THEY deserve more from US - even if John McCain does not. At least he will not pull out until that area is secure and in that I believe him, if nothing else.
And THAT is the “bottom line” in 2008.
If Obama is the nominee there is no way in hell I am sitting out this election. The dude scares me.
Dear Ben,
It’s called “mavericking”.
Conservatives have learned from the best!
Too bad you'll also be screwing our military and America's security.
You must be so proud.
Many are prepared to cut off their nose to spite their face. Can McCain be any worse than Jorge Bush? Yet, you criticize “Dubya” here and you’re called a Dim mole or worse.
I will never “stay home” on election day.
I also will never vote for John McCain.
Bob got my vote. There was very little choice at the time.

Don’t need some 24 year old punk giving me advice.
My feeling is that conservatives need to be e-mailin, calling, sending snail mail, faxes, etc to the McCain headquarters to send John a strong message: Remember your base - give us something like a strong conservative VP that will reach out to us and quit slapping us in the face!
You must be so proud.
An insult in every post. Sorry it offends you that I have a different opinion than you.
Don't you mean nose in spite of their nose, given our choice?
"Can McCain be any worse than Jorge Bush? Yet, you criticize “Dubya” here and you’re called a Dim mole or worse."
BWAHAAAAAAA!!!
C'mon, now.
What's the truth have do with anything.
...anymore. :o)

“the GOP may have to go through the purifying ritual of cataclysmic electoral defeat.”
If Obama secures the nomination (looking more and more inevitable) I don’t see how McCain can possibly win, regardless of what conservatives do. The “cataclysmic electoral defeat” is almost a certainty, the subsequent “purifying ritual” - we’ll see if that can happen.
I agree with the story. Totally
“But conservatives are fools if they stay home in November.”
“Matthew 5: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.”
These McCain supporters/`sweet-talkers’ are really smooth operators: “Fools! Grow up! Calm down!”.

No, but he being an extension of him on issues such as the boarder and McCain Feingold is enough for me.
We are tired of the RNC/GOP taking us for granted and us having to revolt to bring them in line, but they will do it again to us if he gets elected. I don't believe hi on the boarders, and if I can't believe him on that, I can't trust him on anything else.
Terrorist rights. We cant interogate them and he wants to bring them to US and give them ACLU trials. And first amendment rights, how can he pick conservative judges to overturn McC-Finegold??
This is the first time in history (except BoB Dole) that liberal MSM is directing us to march to the republican party tune, only because they picked McCain. But if Obama gets it McCains’ liberal buddies will eat him alive, and we will be Maverics like him and wave at him going down.
Anybody else getting the sense that a lot of people in the GOP are starting to get afraid that they may have taken their conservative base too much for granted? That they may have just gone a step too far with McCain?
And now here they are throwing threats about how we better support McCain or else.
“He’s better than Barack Obama. And it’s not close.”
Right On!
I’m a Fredhead still sulking a little over him dropping out and my 2nd choice did not fare much better, so now that we are down to just McCain, I have to ask myself, who would rather turn the military over to, McCain, Clinton, or Obama?
Two of the above names would destroy the military as an effective fighting force by the sheer number of trained soldiers who would get out as soon as they could. They will be replaced by young people just looking for a job in the poor economy that certainly will come with a quasi-socialist government. Having served in the Navy under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan I have seen this first hand, the difference in moral. Under Jimmy Carter, FTN was very popular graffiti found on the bulkheads of my ship, the stalls in the heads, and at the top of letters the sailors sent home. I’m not going to spell it out but you know what FTN stands for. When Reagan took over this attitude changed and we had pride once again, and re-enlistments went way up, and that foul graffiti disappeared.
If McCain is our nominee, as much as I dislike him I will hold my nose and vote for him for the sake of the military alone.
