VOTERS to GOP: Welcome To Obamanation

“The election is not here yet. We still have the right to not like any of the choices. The FR is still a place where we can express our distaste of McCain with good reason.”
Bears repeating in all CAPS.
Well, I thought we were talking about the GOP in general and their general view toward Conservatives.
The candidates we have now just prove the point. The GOP will never allow another candidate to be promoted simply on the grounds that they are Christian. That’s as it should be, but too many Conservatives have that line of demarcation ... which divides the Conservatives, makes a bunch of racket and brings the MSM vultures running to gleefully spin it however it best serves their interests.
But the flash point that is religion is becoming more and more of a liability, and the GOP has no option but to steer hard away from it. Anything that sounds patently “conservative” nowadays is equated with “religious nut”.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have church rallies. Go figure. Their brand of religion isn’t view as “kooky” it’s viewed as “homey” and cultural and authentic.
It’s been an artful and tedious process by the MSM but nonetheless effective. Thus, the darling of the Media, John McCain. Who must be scratching busily at all the flea bites.
Explain to me, in name of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, getting Hillary or Obama elected President is in the best interest in this country?
I am not looking out for the party, I looking out for the country.
We have choices in life, it’s not always easy to decide. McCain was NOT my first 5 choices, but that’s being a grown up. But saying that electing Hilabam president is in tune with consevrative principles is insane.

Wrtie in RuPaul if want.
You think Hilabama will be better?
Can’t go there with you. McCain is calculating, extremely intelligent, ruthless and focused. Everything I want in a fighter pilot or a leader. I’d rather he lead us into perdition in a straight line, than to stumble into backwards with an idiot like Obama.
The people of Iowa and New Hampshire had their chances to vote for him and didn’t.
I believe god can do anything. But I don’t believe for a second that God, for the good of Christians or Jews, picks our leaders for us. If you are voting for someone because you think God wants him to be president. By all means tell the rest of us how you came by this pearl of wisdom.
Oh let me guess, a candidate that carries the same bible you do, therefore he MUST BE THE CHOSEN ONE.
No just another observation that there is little difference between the three candidates.
This is the 1970’s crowd pushing their move back to parties being irrelevant. McCain is a creation of the DBM not the voters. Remember overr 25% of the people who voted in republican primaries were NOT republicans.
Not snarky, just a realization that 2008 is only about congress, the Presidency is over.
McCain does not get money, not get volunteers, does not get grass roots. He has to pay for volunteers just like any other Democrat.
And for the record McCain IS pandering, he is pandering to the left. (environwackos, taxes, gun control etc.)
[footnote: haven’t you noticed how condi rice has been deposed as functional sec. of state and has been couped out of power? the career desk jockeys are in charge of US policy abroad.]
God has protected America the last seven years. Why?
Oh Please...you’re playing the “victim” card? Barf Alert!
-—You think Hilabama will be better?-—
I thought it didn’t matter what I think. I’m just supposed to pull the lever for any stooge put in front of me.
See post 73
I also heard Freepers blame Rush, Ann, Sean, etc. These people still have one vote like the rest of us. Each voter has the responsibility to become informed. The truth is available among all the clutter. The Clinton years have should the voter who lies and who tells the truth. Satan has deceived America with their own personal feeling. The Christians that think Huck is good and Mitt is bad. The Republicans that think McCain is one of them. The DEMS who think Hillary or Obama will change Washington. The deception to complete and wide spread. This country is headed for a global government and we are electing corrupt weak immoral people on both sides who are going to sell us out. No one can convince me that McCain is moral. He has a weak soul. He caved in Vietnam and he caved in Congress just to be popular. Hillary and Obama have sold their souls also. We need someone with great internal strength. None of the three front runners qualify.
What a bunch of crap. It’s not about the Party...it’s about the country.
You can either support a Socialist...or you can support a canidate that is conservative 85% of the time.
I’m not sure that this is completely true. Sure, the GOP is not going to nominate a preacher (i.e. Huck) but will nominate someone who uses their religious values as a moral compass....Keep in mind GWB was elected twice - even amidst the height of his hatred in 2006.
