This is just another 'get with the program and vote McCain' vanity thread, thinly disquised as a sincere inquiry. SOS different day!, Oh, your were right on in your other post. Go get'em!

On the contrary, I am pointing out that some issues are more important than others, and no, immigration is not the be-all and end-all of modern politics. Security, for one, is a more important issue, and his being good on it is why I fully support president Bush, while disagreeing with him on illegal immigration.

No McCain, no way. Stop the bleeding. Make the RINO extinct before it appears in every election.

“Why would any conservative try to persuade others to help O or H get elected? This is my main question, you only restated it.”
~I don’t see where any conservatives are trying to “persuade others to help O or H get elected”.
~I do see where thoughtful conservatives have come to, or are coming to, the conclusion that 4 years of O or H is preferable to 4 years of McCain followed by 8, 12 or 16 years of Dem rule.
~In the long run, I’m not sure why a McCain Presidency would be preferable to an O or H Presidency.

I don't really care. I enunciate my principles and I defend them. The chips fall where they may. We are not wizards, other people are free to use their freedom badly if they like.

Unfortunately, this is true...Repuds. held their nose and voted for McCain thinking he was ‘electable’. He is not, and now we are cooked.

You assume wrongly that McCain can beat Obama; he cant. The Repubs picked the worst possible nominee...now this nominee will lose big. You're right.
The sad thing is that when McCain loses, many of the movers and shakers in the Republican party will assume it was because McCain was too conservative.
I'll get a jump on things. With this thinking, I predict these same people will put forth their dream candidate in 2012 - Lincoln Chaffee!

Don't care about changing your mind, I care about the objective fact.
You care more about your mind, fine, go live in the mind you so care about. I care about the world because I live there, not in your mind.

Why does the 3rd group have to “viscerally dislike” McCain?
Can we not leave the feeeeeeeeelings at the door and have a feeling-free logical reason? I have not one single feeeeeeeling towards McCain.
How about those that will not ever vote for McCain because, being the sponsor of McCain-Feingold that foisted upon the people free speech blackout periods designed to protect incombents, McCain violated his oath of office and the United States Constitution?
....and I will never vote for him to take yet another oath to protect the same Constitution he already overtly violated.
How about that I too took an oath to protect the Constitution and if I give my vote to a known infringer, I will be in violation of my own oath?
Nawwww.....gotta be some sort of feeeeeeeelings in there somewhere to blame.

In fact, I would even dare suggest that the reluctant McCain supporters are far more miserable and simply resent having it pointed out to them. I don't know that they're miserable, but I believe those that scream the loudest condemnation at anyone not supporting McCain are doing so to assuage their own guilt. They're compromising their principles, and watching others refuse to do so only highlights their own choice.
To: JasonC
If you don't control your borders, you have no security. Comprende? If you do, congratulations: it's more than can be said for Bush or McCain.
Security, for one, is a more important issue

You better hope McCain gets into double digits and doesn’t lose 49 states...he is that bad a candidate.

Except, it is chickenfeathers. M-F is bad law, but it hasn't changed actual US politics in the slightest.

Don't care about changing your mind, I care about the objective fact. Of course you do. That's why you're spending so much time on this thread blasting those with whom you disagree. ROFL!
To: nyconse
He will get into double digits, and he will win numerous states. Might still lose, no question, but it will come down to Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Mexico - as usual.

NOW THAT'S FUNNY! Have you forgotten that President George Herbert Walker Bush brought the "Honorable" David H. Souter to the SCOTUS table? Do you *really* think McCain is capable of doing better? C'mon!You had to stretch so far for that one your arms must hurt. Not to mention I didn't even mention GHWB--who had the support of a certain Ronald Reagan. But what did that Reagan fella know about conservatism?
But you're right--Hillary and Obama will choose MUCH more conservative candidates for SCOTUS.
And oddly enough, you don't mention another SCOTUS pick by George H.W. Bush...
