All McCain needs is to be arguing with conservative talk show hosts. I hope Bill rips him a new one!

Juan McLamebrain is already finished. This senile old Senate Washington beltway dinosaur fart, whom the RNC RINOcrat dopes thought had one more fart left in him, has just confirmed the inescapable fact to anyone who might have doubted it and the few left who were willing to swallow the turd and vote for this phony, that this clueless loser is already a dead man walking and has NO chance of winning the 2008 Presidential election because he reserves his shame, anger, and venom for his own while lavishing his enemies with praise and manners.

Before McAmnesty’s stupid repudiation of Bill Cunningham, Cunningham was advising conservatives to support for McCain, hard as it might be, in the sake of the country and future generations. However, with McCain’s ungrateful, backhanded slap to Cunningham and by extension all conservatives, McCain has demonstrated once again that not only is he opposed to conservatives, but sees them as the enemy deserving of his wrath and condemnation not his “esteemed and beloved liberal Democrat Senate colleagues”.

McCain’s campaign repeatedly insists that it will not engage in adversarial tactics in the 2008 Presidential race against either Obama or Clinton. In other words, McCain has decided not to question, probe, or criticize his opponent’s political records or ideological viewpoints. Since the very process of a national election is to present a political contest of records and a contrast of opposing viewpoints, McCain has already conceded the election to the Democrats by his own incredibly stupid and naive approximation to what extent his “esteemed” colleagues and his bosom buddies in the liberal media, who unanimously suppport his opponents, will treat him in kind.

Considering the extreme weakness of the candidate the RINO infested RNC backed and promoted to the extent of alienating its own voter base, one might ask if they really want to lose, not win. Even if McCain refrained from his familiar habit of spitting on conservatives and backstabbing his own party, the enormous anger, resentment, and ill will already generated by the Republican Party beltway establishment’s repeated failures, lies, and betrayals have already severely weakened the Republican voter base making an electoral victory very difficult. McCain’s moronic and gutless repudiations of cogent, relevant, insightful conservative criticism of his OPPONENT angers conservatives beyond redemption and sinks his already crippled campaign.

For conservatives, the White House in 2008 is already a write-off. Lost before it began. The only hope for conservatives and other liberty and freedom loving Americans is to support conservative House and Senate candidates and on the local level conservative governors, legislators, and state officials. McCain’s hands-off unrealistic and insane approach to free political debate and vigorous political speech is not shared with the lean and hungry liberals and the lapdog willing media starving for Democrat victory at all costs who are going to tear him to pieces.

McCain needs to take Obama on. This racial and religious PC intimidation will lose us the election.

Obama is a huge danger to our nation. He dwarfs the Clinton threat. His foreign policy will paint a bulls eye on our backs.

Well said. I couldn’t agree more.

Unfortunately, McCain won’t take the gloves off when dealing with the Democrats because he’s one of them.

The 2004 Democrat Vice Presidential hopeful throws another conservative under the bus.

The ad hominem slurs that may sound cute and funny to some on Free Republic turn off the majority American voters and lose general elections.

No less an authority figure than Karl Rove has warned Republican operatives from demagoguing Barack Obama's middle name. ......... Right wing figures are set to ignore Rove's advice. Rush Limbaugh used Obama's middle name more than a year ago, and Ann Coulter regularly uses the middle name, once calling him "President Hussein."

If you are going to attack either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, attack them for their dangerous left-wing politics and not because you think Hillary has fat thighs or because of the middle name Obama's father gave him when he was born.

Interesting that you didn’t refute the validity of my comment. :)

If John McCain loses this November, it won’t be because someone in Columbus, Ohio calling himself “King Snorky” made a cutting remark about him on Free Republic. If McCain loses, it will because he failed to demonstrate to voters that he is truly a conservative alternative to the Democratic nominee.

What is it with you McCainiacs wanting to regulate everyone’s political speech? If you’re so concerned about the tone of political discourse in our country, then why are you supporting Charlie Keating’s notoriously foulmouthed, short-tempered concubine?

And for the record, I don’t think Hillary has fat thighs. Fat ankles, yes. But not fat thighs.

I did not think that a tabloid claim needed refuting but, if you insist, I refute the lie that John McCain wanted to be John Kerry's VP choice.

If your have proof for your claim, put it on the table.

What is it with you McCainiacs wanting to regulate everyone’s political speech?

Geez, what a Drama Queen.

Since when does tactical advice from Karl Rove constitute "regulating political speech"?

"Karl Rove just sent us a memo that said that if you want the Southern vote, you should not refer to Southerners as 'dumb rednecks that should vote for me if they know what is good for them'".

"Karl Rove wants to regulate my political speech! That's unconstitutional!! My First Amendment rights have been violated!!!"

Drama queen? That’s an ad hominem slur! ;)

And Karl’s comments have no weight with me, so it doesn’t matter how much you post his remarks. I’ve worked with Karl a few times over the years (way back when he was a political direct mail consultant); he’s a helluva nice guy, but he’s no oracle.

At first, I thought this was no big deal since Cunningham has said some stupid things about voting for Hillary. But after I heard the clips last night, I thought, why does McCain have to alienate him? Its stupid and cost him a net loss.

I don’t think Cunningham is that great and can be as damned near foolish as Savage. However, I had a chance to listen to the clip when I got home from work yesterday and changed my mind a little. Why does McCain go out of his way to apologize for harmless statements? Makes no sense at all.

I’m not a fan of Cunningham, but McPain made he want to puke when he was kissing the arses of Barack and Hillary. I wish something would happen and Huckabee could get the nomination. He’s better than McPain.

Now Cunningham is calling McCain “Juan-Pablo” McCain. Interesting that Cunningham had no problem supporting “Juan-Pablo” McCain until yesterday.

but what kind of conservative is Cunningham to run screaming into Hillary's arms?

Someone in USENET asked the same question and one reply was 4 years of Obama would prove to Americans that liberal policies are a failure and they will come running to a conservative in 2012.

McCain seems to be unable to extend his thinking beyond the confines of the narrow and shallow world of the US Senate.

He is attempting to stick with the practice known as "Senatorial Courtesy". Unfortunately for him he's not running for Senate Majority leader but President.

The Hildabeast and Obamasama will eat him alive.
