"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."



Why is this so hard for some people to understand?

I disagree with you Vote Obama nonsense.

We need to vote as a Republican block.

Neither Obama or Hillary deserve to win anymore elections.

Nah, if Her Heinous pulls it out, there WILL be bad blood in the Dem. Party. There will be new young voters, and some black voters who will just stay home out of anger for Obama having been ‘dissed’ by the party. They will NOT for her.

The goal here has never been securing the nomination of Obama or Clinton. The goal has been to make sure the Democrats will not have a clear winner going to the convention so the entire American populace can watch the Democrat implosion live on television.

So that voters say I'm not going to put into the Presidency a bunch of idiots who can't even govern their convention

No way will he be allowed to govern as leftward as he is campaigning

Obama doesn't have to. A 'Rat-dominated Congress will give him cover. I see little prospect of the 'Pubs regaining either house of Congress. In fact, if the 'Rats win big, they may end up controlling cloture without going nuclear. Then Congress can add whatever socialist policies to legislation President Obama proposes, and take whatever flack (probably little) comes their way. All Obama has to do is sit back and nominate two or three more Ginsbergs to the USSC during his term(s).

These are the reasons why we have to make defeating Hillobama our No. 1 priority, and if that means voting for John McCain, I say we do it to avoid the unthinkable (and probably unsurvivable) disaster that a Hillobama presidency would be.

No, I am not demanind 100%.

Ronald Reagan had a core set of principles which he worked his compromises toward.

Crossing the isle for Reagan meant a compromose that included his conservative views and the opposition comming towards his view.

McCain is the surrender to cross the isle. Go along to get along.

There is no core for el loco McCain.

Rush is putting in the chaos theor because MCCAIN IS A POLITICAL WIMP.

There is an old political axiom: Never try to kill a man while he is committing suicide.

McCain is just following that axiom. If McCain piles on BHO, then McCain is the story. By keeping his mouth shut, McCain lets BHO, and his pastor, share the spot light themselves.

It is too late. You are not going to get what you want in 2008. Campaigning against the Republican Presidential Nominee at this point will get you nothing and nowhere.

I am in total agreement with that statement. We have to watch what we do this time, because if we should lose there could never be a “next time”.

“Why is this so hard for some people to understand?”

I don’t know, but I doubt if all those that oppose the Rush plan are worried more about Clinton than they are about getting Obama elected!

The Dems are screwed either way. Hillary get the nod, and millions of usually reliable Black voters stay home. Obama gets the nod, and millions of moderates ready to vote Dem switch to McCain. As it turns out Obama’s candidacy effectively killed Dem chances this year. Rove, you magnificent b———. I don’t know how he got the Obama candidacy rolling, but thank you Karl.

Ahh!!! I won't be able to sleep a wink tonight... And I thought Ways and Means Chairman Rangel was as scary as it could get.
