" I say let the Democrats screw up the next four years and give the Republicans time to find themselves again."

The only problem I see (only?) with that logic is ... the "screw up the next four years .. " is, IMO ... a hell of a lot longer that four years.

The SC appointees alone would be a devastation and complete the annihilation of the late, great Nation, America.

I don't like it one bit ... but I think it would be a lot easier to fight with McCain for that 20% of the time spoken of by someone .. than to fight 90% of the time with a socialist executive, more than likely legislative, and what would become the Judiciary branches.

How do we correct the damage those three agencies produce?

We know Presidents stay in touch with past Presidents, and there's no reason for McCain to break from that practice.

What if he brings Karl Rove back in?

Believe me ... I truly wish things had gone another way, but they didn't.

So to the anti-McCainiacs here in FR ... explain how four years of a (more than) staunch socialist will NOT permanantly f*** us.

Congress can openly oppose a Dem, Republicans in congress would have a hard time doing this with a president of their own party. If the Repubs in Congress would ever get some backbone, they could keep Obama/Hillary in check. It wouldn’t happen with McCain. Look at all these so-called conservatives kissing his @ss know and falling all over themselves to endorse him. A Republican congress would be forced to support his liberal ideas and bring the party even further to the left.

The opposite has been true in California, with Schwarzenegger.
(Your argument is identical to the one used by people who brought us Arnold in 2003).

All he has needed to do is to silence opposition from the right in the name of "Republican" unity, and get a few weak-kneed legislators to follow him in his leftward-leaps. He has been able to advance the liberal agenda faster than any Democrat could have dreamed of.

Patience. It's a long time until September. Plenty of time to dump the angry little man.

Almost any conservative will do. Both Democrat alternatives have serious hurdles to leap during the campaign. One Democrat has embarrassed our nation and racism is still deep seated in this country.

I must be one of your allies. Where are these Freepers coming from? They seem to show up like-alligators! I am determined to keep on swimming. I hear their arguments and there are lots of things in McCain that don’t pass the smell test.

I have learned that in order to keep swimming, one needs to wear nose plugs. It say this figuratively. Stand fast.

We just need to be patient. McCain is solidifying the moderate wing of the Republican Party. We will need them, just as Ronald Reagan needed those “Ronald Reagan Democrats.”

McCain’s senatorial activities make most Conservatives throw up. Mark Levin and others have already given the list. However, this has positioned McCain as an attractive candidate to a wider spectrum of the political landscape. He even has the Latin American community; a group that the DemonRATs thought they had in the bag. Not with McCain and the results of his McCain-Kennedy Immigration Reform bill. McCain will steal these voters away from the DemonRATs like meat from a lion.

I ask this: Did that bill pass? No. However, to many in the political spectrum, McCain looks friendly to their situation. Sublime politics. They are now McCain voters. Some of these same voters may be illegals that the DemonRATs have registered (illegally) and counted as their own. Not!

Finally, just be patient. McCain is a stealth conservative. He learned this “stealth” in the Hanoi Hilton. He has learned how to look, smell, and taste like a liberal. All for political survival. He has swam with the sharks in the Senate! He has kept from being eaten by looking like, tasting like, and smelling like—a shark! However, when he becomes POTUS, he becomes something unique. He becomes Top Shark which is something the DemonRATs fear more than anything else. He will eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, we know that McCain is a meat eater; not some girly boy, metro man.

Need I say more? I have already put some blood in the water. Watch an see them flock to this post thinking there is something to eat. Not!
