One could say the same thing about your using our own pride and concern for our fighting military as a shameful use of emotion in an attempt to influence our opinion.
Kinda the same way as the libs use the phrase; "it's for the children" ploy.
So here: "Shame on you."
Therefore I would like to ask all McCain supporters to absolutely cede this forum to the anti-McCain crowd. However in the "real world" do your best to make sure that McCain wins.
Too bad you’ll also be screwing our military and America’s security.
...and you and me in the process, but what the hell they have principles.
blah, blah, blah.
If this guy wants to vote for McCain, vote for him, otherwise he can just shut up.
Are you saying that standing up for the American soldier and providing the most capable CIC is a PLOY????
Are you trying to be clever?
If so, you have failed miserably.
He won’t lose if people vote for him. Obama is going to get the nod on the dem side. His voters are mostly groupies. More and more people are becoming very afraid of him. By November a lot even dems will vote for McCain. He can win if we don’t hand it to Obama in a fit of stubborness. For the life of me I don’t understand people who would let someone win who has an 8% rating in exchange for an 80% rating. That is a terrible trade off.
Save your guilt-hype for your moderate buddies.
In the mean time, go to this web site and find out something of substance for a change about your candidate Juan McEvil.

That’s why not having McLame is very good for our Military.
Nothing personal, wita, but I'll stand firm for the principles and contributions of the American soldier over the "principles" of irrational politicos any day.
Just weeks ago a wounded soldier lay in a VA hospital waiting for his family to visit. His wife and two kids were killed by a drunk, previously deported illegal on the road to visit him. It is happening. It is not theoretical.

I have many differences with John Sidney McCain, and I've posted them right here in FR at what I recall to be over a hundred times.
As the Dad of a Marine (in Iraq as I type this) and a Naval aviator-to-be, I have a special interest in having an administration that supports our military.
Hillary detests our military, and Obama... well, I suspect he feels no differently.
My modest objective (with postings here and other places) is to convince (legitimately) indignant conservatives ...
1. That much of the blame for McCaine's nomination comes from a goofy primary system that lets blue state GOPers and meddling independents have too much of a say-so on our candidate, and...
2. That the damage done to our country with 4 or 8 years of a Marxist Hillary will be unrecoverable. (Think gun confiscation, property confiscation, taxes and lawsuits confiscating your hard-earned money, and lawyers appointed to make sure that conservative votes never seem to count in key states, ever again.)
Another blame the conservatives , diversion of guilt game for the GOP’s idiocy........how nice. Haven’t seen one of these threads on FR for at least six minutes
Suck it up GOP and deal with it. You dealt the hand , you play the hand. Don’t demand conservatives to back yer BS bet on a bluff !
Can he do things to change my mind?
Possibly!
He could provide more assurances that he will treat the right with respect. He could nominate a strong conservative as VP.
Will he do these things to try to get conservatives on board?
The chances are less likely if he believes he already has us wrapped up.
Don't just jump in bed with him...make him earn your allegiance.
I'm saying that your pathetic use of emotion here on this thread is a shameful ploy.
Just google the words “soldier + illegal alien”.
Maybe instead of waiting for someone else to do something we should do something about our situation. I think the conservatives who are upset with McCain who are refusing to vote should join together and form a coalition and give themselves a name like the Christain Coalition did. When you are a large group, you have more bargaining power. Much more than just a single protest vote here and there. We could probably even get our guy or girl the nomination next time. A third party never works. Changing our party from within is the key and we could do that as a group with one spokesperson like a chairman. However the Christain Coalition does it. We would need someone with influence to start it up.
“Conservatives have bent over backwards for the GOP for far too long.”
Actually, I think conservatives have bent over FORWARDS for the GOP far too long.”
I live in Arizona. McCain is from my state. I have NEVER voted for him before to represent me as I saw early on that he wasn’t too “stable” or conservative. I won’t vote for him in November either. I will vote for every other conservative Rep on the ballot, but McInsane can bite me.
That's exactly what the RINOs think.I remember quite vividly all the name calling by so called Conservatives like McCain, when they where trying to push amnesty down our throats.
McCain will never get my vote. Come election time I will be voting for conservatives, and if Mcpain is the Republican nominee, I will use the write-in section on the Presidential race, or if a third party conservative get's in the race, my vote will go to them.
"Moderate buddies"....like the ones dodging bullets and IEDS around the world standing as a firewall against those who would kill us and making sure you have the freedom to put them in President Obama's hands?
What about those buddies?
There's nothing "moderate" about supporting our soldiers and preventing the likes of Clinton/Obama from gaining control over them and their mission. This is an American responsibility.
Wake up. Acknowledge the cards in play and make your choice. Just don't whitewash the effect a Dimm CIC will have on our military and nation security. You will have own it.
