John McCain couldn't handle the outstanding rebel-rousing introduction by Cincinnati conservative talk show host, Bill Cunningham the other day--a man the McCain Campaign had hired to introduce the Senator. Instead, Wussie McCain immediately "apologized" profusely to Obama for Cunningham's using Obama's full name over and over during the intro. This shows how "p.c." and how "wussie" John McCain is when it comes to worrying about how the left is going to perceive him. Instead of concentrating on gaining base support which he sorely needs and can't win without, he's playing to the left and saying to conservatives, "S**w you! I can win without you!".
I watched that introduction by Cunningham and there was NOTHING "nasty" or untoward in it. He didn't call the Jewish religion "a gutter religion", and he didn't call New York City "Hymietown"! As I see it, he was asking, "Do we really want a President who, if he is not a Muslim now, is going to (as Obama has said he would) 'cozy up' or "make friends" with Islamic dictators like Iran's dictator?" That was the message I got from Cunningham's words.
The ensuing flap is something McCain probably said "I could care less about", but he should care about it because it's hurting him, big-time, with conservatives who might otherwise be inclined to vote for him. Limbaugh, Hannity et al are rushing to defend one of their own, Bill Cunningham, as well they should. If McCain thinks he's "scored points" with conservatives, he needs to "think again". After McCain's shafting Cunningham following Cunningham's introduction, Cunningham said he "...would never vote for McCain" although he wouldn't vote for Hillary, either.
Besides being a nasty old man, John McCain still doesn’t value the words or accolades from conservatives--even those who have endorsed him. I think conservatives should "return the cold shoulder" towards McCain in November, big-time!
I'm sure you donated thousands of dollars to President Bush. You are so transparent troll.
Though I don't like McCain that much, I sure don't want to toe the Communist line with Obama or Clinton.
Yeah... there are quite a few of those here pushing the liberal McCain.
They just signed up in the last few months. How long have you been here?
I think McCain is wise not to get into this and risk the media making him a bigot. Beleive me, the media would not let go of him if he didn’t condemn it. What’s funny is the rats find it offensive that his entire name was used...What are they afraid of? His name or the fact that the American people will associate Obama with, the likes of Udai and Qusai Hussein.
series and hugh
Then, in 04, when we Vietnam Veterans began a concentrated effort to expose John “The Snake” Kerry for the backstabbing, traitorous POS he was, he basically told us to get over it, keep quiet and go away.
He also dissed and attacked the Swift Boat Vets for truth as well as John O’Neil’s book (Unfit for Command) BEFORE it was even released.
Rather than support us (or at the very least stay neutral) he came to the defense of his good “bud,” Kerry, the very same Kerry who thru his anti-war actions and antics and his ilk, had been responsible for prolonging the war thereby, protracting the suffering he and the other POW’s endured by years.
When he did this, McPain lost what little respect he had from me and many other vets and regardless of his having endured much as a POW, this in of itself could not justify his actions.
At that time (and I wish I still had it) I wrote him a 4 page letter in which I expressed my disappointment and anger towards him and the one thing I remember well is that I told him that even if he had found it in his heart to forgive and forget what Kerry had done, I could not.
Thus regardless of who ends up in the White House, I cannot bring myself to vote for him. Like W, he would probably end up being strong on National Defense and taxes. However, like Bush, he will be a disastrous RINO, with regards to every other PC issue and will end up caving to the DHIMIS even more than W has-—which is quite a lot.
Thankfully, whether or not I vote or for who, here in Vermont, is wholly irrelevant, thus, I won’t lose any sleep and whatever the outcome, will learn to adapt, go to Church more often and pray a lot for our country—God Bless It!!
Oh my I have been outed !!
Get a grip cowgirl.
I just got a new name because my kid trashed the office and wrote all over everything.
So, I think its time for you to go chase those black helicopters you been hearing in your head.
This "Let Hillary Win" campaign is the worst idea of the millenium. She would do incalculable damage while you're waiting for 2012, and then she'd get re-elected. You'd be better off voting for McCain on the basis of his old age.
Hillary is The Worst Of The Worst, and I will rejoice if she loses her party's nomination.
His name is Barack [CENSORED} Obama, Jr. When he is sworn as President I wonder what name he will give. What name id he give when he was sworn in as a Senator.
? So you needed a new FR screenname? LOL. That's creative! (Did the dog eat your homework, too?)

Lots of helicopters around here.
Thank You, for your Service and Sacrifice For Our Nation.
That would be a valid reason. I'd like to hear him denounce the muslim religion openly.
The MSM certainly took Romney apart on his religion...so fair is fair!
Oh your so mean.
If you don’t have kids you can’t relate
Yes, he is supporting Hillary Clinton. The CNN report quotes him directly: “I’m joining Ann Coulter in supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton”.
Whatever!
I can’t think of a thing my kids could do that would require me to get a new FR screenname.
I think he should denounce it too!!
As for our President - calling Islam a religion of peace is quite a stretch in my opinion!
As for Obama - I have not heard him denouncing radical Islam...that's why the subject must be discussed.
There's a old Chinese proverb that says: Noob who signed up today has no room to accuse long standing FReepers of being DU pests.
Cunningham said and did nothing wrong, but this Rockefeller RINO hates conservatives and thinsk we have no choice but to vote for him. That is exaactly the attitude that will cause us not to.
I think it was '92, and what she said was even more disrespectful: "Poooor Geoooorge...he was born with a silver FOOT in his mouth." The MSM loved that and replayed it continually. She rode it to the Texas governorship.
