Make no mistake, I’m not happy about McCain - quite the contrary. But the people on this site have proven to be so far out of tune with the rest of the country, and so acerbic while being that way, that I can no longer rely on this site as a good indicator of what intelligent people think about things, like I used to. I’m going to suck it up and back McCain, because Obama is the devil. What are you going to do - cry in a corner?

Once again, an attack and labeling based on the fact that you cannot convince people to vote for your candidate who is only marginally better than the Dem candidate and who will destroy the GOP through Amnesty.

Why should I vote for him besides the Fear-Mongering and Boogey-Man reasons you have given?

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH IS ELECTED!

You will be getting Amnesty with all three candidates and you will be overwhelmed with a LARGE NEW DEMOCRAT MAJORITY of voters as a RESULT.

What part of this don't you understand?

We are in a war.

One party’s candidate will fight the war.

The other party’s candidate won’t.

If we lose this war, we are done.

IT CLEARLY MATTERS WHO GETS ELECTED.

Hussein will withdraw our troops from the fight against the Islamofascists. McCain will continue to press the fight.

Sure immigration is a big issue that warrants hold McCain accountable, but out victory in the GWOT is far more important.

Fear-Mongering and Boogey-Man? That’s rhetoric straight out of Moveon.org and Code Pink.

The war is for real.

Have you gone back to sleep already?

I understand and agree with you on all of what you are saying about McCain. As to the attack - which of my three assertions are you calling an attack:

- that FR is out of touch with society and republicans as a whole
- that opponents of candidates here have been acerbic, ie, way beyond a discussion of the issues and into personal attacks, distorted views of the truth, and mudslinging
- that as a result of the above two, FR can no longer be considered a reliable source of intelligent analysis.

I stand firmly by those three assertions. They are not attacks, they are the truth. The sidebar polls prove the first, the Romney and Huckabee threads amply demonstrate the second, and the third follows from the first two. You need to be less defensive and face reality, and it’s a cold, unfriendly reality we are all facing together.
