Sixty-Six Percent Say 'Smear!' The Gray Lady's smear piece on John McCain got 66% of Rasmussen respondents believing that the paper deliberately trying to kneecap the Republican frontrunner. Only 22% think that the paper had clean motives in publishing the unsubstantiated gossip:

The Times recently became enmeshed in controversy over an article published concerning John McCain. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the nation’s likely voters say they have followed that story at least somewhat closely. Of those who followed the story, 66% believe it was an attempt by the paper to hurt the McCain campaign. Just 22% believe the Times was simply reporting the news. Republicans, by an 87% to 9% margin, believe the paper was trying to hurt McCain’s chances of winning the White House. Democrats are evenly divided.

When are the rest of you going to realize you’re being DUPED?

This Party over Principle stuff is getting real old, fast.

AMEN! This party-first stuff is tiring.

Trying to make McCain into a conservative is like trying to turn Hillary Clinton into Scarlett Johannsen

"What else is left to us but McCain?"

And McCain knows you believe that. That's why he can lie to you and spit on you with impunity. He has absolutely no respect for you or your principles. He may make a slight pretense to throw you a crumb.

If they express rage will McCain apologize for them to his good friend, the president elect?

Because in four years, every illegal in the nation will be block voting Democratic with drivers licenses, free hospital care, and whatever else this Democrat wishes to give them in exchange for their vote. With 90% Hispanics and Blacks voting Democrat, there will never be another hope of electing a Republican. We have to stop this now! Every legal resident has a right to vote. Illegals do NOT! Blacks should inform themselves of how LITTLE the Dems have done in exchange for their vote low these many years. Maybe, just maybe, they might realize the Republican way is the better way. Middle class Blacks already are beginning to see it. They will now be hit with some of those income tax increases the Dems will throw at them too.

It backfired! BIG!!

The McCain List.

[ANGGAPO]

Frankly I don’t think much of McCain as president. But I am not sure that our country can survive Hillary or Obama attempting to run the show. With McCain we might be unhappy at what he does, but after for years we will still have a country. Consider a major reduction in our military forces. Thousands of X-Soldiers looking for jobs, an air force without airplanes, Everything taxed to support a dismal health plan and the dole. Think about surviving. Read about the 1929-1940 depression, it’s an eye opener.

Dinosaur Press Alert!

We *survived* 8 years of WJC. We’re tougher than you think.

The Dims talk big but, the condition of the world today will force them to abandon their play book. If not, they won’t be in power after 4 years.

It’s up to us to make sure they hit plenty of resistance by electing people on the under card with Conservative principles not, RINOs, Countryclubbers and patsies for CFR.
