There...fixed it. Carry on.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
As I just said on another thread, many Freepers would rather vote for the Devil than for a backslider. I will give the backslider another chance and hope for the best.
There will be little that any sitting President can do to stop the coming economic disaster, regardless of the party in power. It will be a World wide depression.
Take into consideration, based on the incredible ignorance of the public, where the blame will go. If McCain wins, the GOP gets all the blame, starting with Bush II.
By the end of McCain’s first term, the Legislation will be over 2/3rds Democrat because the 2010 mid terms, will oust even more Republicans than are already leaving the party this election.
Then, after the MSM drums Schumer, Pelosi, etc,,, and their constant lists of blame aimed squarely at McCain and the GOP for the mess the economy is in, the American public will hate the GOP and Conservatives so badly, it will become almost as bad as being a member of the KKK.
You can count in it. But at least you will have temporary, short term gratification which is all that is left of a once great visionary philosophy.
Ahhhhh finally, a voice of reason!
Although I am sure Democrats (and independents) had a hand in nominating McCain, I too am concerned about the “operation chaos” strategy. Number one, it’s hard to calibtrate correctly - politics becomes emotional and reason doesn’t always work to address it. Also, having an express policy like this gives the left another talking point. Although I suppose they don’t need a reason to play the victim of the “evil” conservatives; they do it anyway.
I dunno. My state’s primary is over. I have until November to decide whether to vote for McCain or do a write-in (that’s a whole other discussion, which again doesn’t need to be settled today). I do find it hard to get enthused about McCain to the point of volunteering or giving money, and I suspect many others feel the same.
No amount of crossover could possibly put the Beast ahead in elected delegates. There just isn't enough left for her to come out on top before the convention.
For Republicans to win there has to be a bloody war at the convention and the final outcome needs to be an angry split RAT base. That only happens if Hildabeast gets the nomination or can battle to the bitter end.
If Obama wins you wont see single mothers and old ladies rioting and protesting a stolen nomination, but if The Beast gets it you are sure to see the blacks and barking moonbat hippies do exactly that!
The blacks and moonbats will go nuts if Hillary gets the nomination and the DNC wont put that raging wildfire out in the 2 months before the general election.
Even if they blame Republicans and Rush who can they take it out on if not Hillary? They don't want Hillary so their only protest is to stay home, vote for Nader, or vote for McCain!
Here's how I see the Dims in Denver(sounds like a song or movie title there). Both candidates come in without the delegate count to garner the nomination outright. The 'superdelegates' divide evenly between the two, leaving it as divided as before. Brokered convention.
Even this is wrought with peril for the Dims. The backroom deals that will go on, no matter the result, will split the Dims forever. If one side is left out, at least a third of the Dim voters will not support the winner. Instead they will prefer to 'teach the party a lesson', by voting Repub, or 3rd party.(sound familiar?)
In any case, the Dim party, which for years has been promoted as the 'party of the under-prviledge', the party of the little guy, and special interests, will divide between the powers-that-be, and those they sought to 'help'.
The Democrat Party has always been the party to provide other people's money to keep a captured voting block, the poor, under control for their purpose. The PTB in the Dems never expected, that sooner or later, those same people they 'help', would actually run for offices generally reserved for the Dim party elites.
......the Supreme Court this week takes up the question of whether Americans have a constitutional right to own guns....
.....Neither Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama, both candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, signed on to any briefs. Senator McCain, along with 54 other senators, has asked the Supreme Court to
affirm a lower court ruling that struck down the Washington ban.
Obama needs ‘crossover’FRiends in PA... the bit¢h is regaining strength.
You’re absolutely right. As a sitting legislator McCain could prove to conservatives today that he is serious about the border by introducing and pushing for border security legislation as hard as he pushed for the amnesty bill. I won’t hold my breath waiting.
actually the fascinating part of the story is how the DBM is trying to push the notion that the internet is NOT so important on this story. (as they show the you tube video again and again)
As Rush has pointed out many times, to support McCain is to undermine McCain.
Is mostly conservative like being mostly not pregnant?
McCain, Obama and Hillary are all DC insiders who are lost in the ether of the senate country club.
peas in a pod who “know a left spin is better for you.”
And who is backing radical Islam? Underground communism? And who has been giving money to the Clintons? I still think Hillary is by far more dangerous. If Hillary ends up getting elected President it will make Rush Limbaugh look like a punk.
Rush is putting in the chaos theor because MCCAIN IS A POLITICAL WIMP.
As a gang of 14 member, as a sponsor of illegal alien amnesty, as indifferent to protecting marriage, MCCAIN is firmly in the trent lott wuss school of politics.
If McCain was a TRUE candidate he would not need to have Rush do McCain’s job.
Not even Ronald Reagan was 100% Conservative all the time. For example, Ronald Reagan conceded to some tax increases and he even signed an amnesty bill. There are other examples, too.
The Republican Party has never been 100% Conservative all the time.
There is no viable Conservative Party on a national scale. Conservatives have a home in the Republican Party. Conservatives are ridiculed and shunned by Democrats.
No American president, Republican or Democrat, has ever been 100% Conservative all the time.
Conservatism is a matter of degree.
When you demand all or nothing, you get exactly what you deserve.
It's possible that Johhny Mac is a wuss, but I really think deep down that Mac has a warrior ethos and will do what it takes to win this time around. Some of the crap flying between Obama and Hillary are very Rovian in form.
Maybe Mac learned a few things from Rove in 2000, like feed the pigs and let them wallow in the mud. Kinda like the Dims are doing now.
