By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how it’s a free country and they have a 1st Amendment right, etc. to yammer on and on about how bad McCain sucks, totally missing the point of my post, again. But I’m here to tell you, in this free country, that in my opinion, you should SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP! To all you ingrates, rageaholics, and self-absorbed punks, WE KNOW YOU HATE MCCAIN. You can give yourself a rest now and stop posting on every single thread the same exact comments. I’m not going to name names, but I will if I have to. I think we all know by now who I’m talking about. The folks who post the same pictures and the same comments on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. We got it. You aren’t voting for McCain. Fine. Time to move on. Yes, that’s my opinion. You have had enough time to accept the reality that John Sidney McCain III, WAR HERO, is the Republican nominee. Some folks on FR have used this time to learn more about Johnny, realize that he isn’t as bad as they thought, grow up, act like adults, and get in gear to vote for him. Some of you have decided not only to beat your collective dead horse everyday, banging out the same tiresome gripes about McCain on every thread, but you’ve also gotten increasingly VITRIOLIC. I’m talking about the following trash:
1. Saying McCain isn’t really a war hero because (insert stupid lie here.)
2. Declaring that McCain urged the U.S. government to leave other POWs back in Vietnam (for what reason would he do this exactly? Don’t bother, I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.)
3. Insulting other FR posters who like or support Johnny by using profanity, vulgarity, and name calling. YOU ARE DIMINISHING FR with your hostile posts—this kind of stuff belongs on low rent leftie sites like DU, or Daily Kos, not FREE REPUBLIC, the shining star of conservative websites.
4. AND FINALLY, the filthiest load in the McCain Haters’ verbal trebuchet: wishing, hoping or praying that John Sidney McCain III would come to some misfortune which would prevent him from living to be President. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DISGUSTING. How can you wish that a decent, G-d fearing man who suffered and sacrificed out of love for this country, who, BY THE GRACE OF G-D, survived five years of torture and imprisonment only to return to service in the military—how could you wish him anything but a long, long life? Shameful. And don’t DARE try to suggest that you are any better in moral character or principle than the angry liberal scum who wish ill upon President Bush or our troops. If your definition of “conservative” is to rage daily and most repulsively against our next President, then please call me a “right wing Reaganite traditionalist” because I want no part of your scene. I realize that some talk show hosts like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity don’t like Johnny, but I don’t recall hearing them praying for his untimely demise. No, that is the talk of the dregs of society, not adults who have their act together.
And just a heads up to all the McCain haters: I am ignoring your tirades henceforth. I can’t stop you from posting your garbage, but I certainly don’t have acknowledge it. Basically, the point of posts from people who like Johnny these days is to share daily news: tracking polls, statements he has made, who he is touring with, speeches he has given, leaders he has met with, etc. What is YOUR point? To seek out people to commiserate with? To insult fellow conservatives who’ve decided having a responsible leader in a time of war trumps giving the GOP a spanking? To try and rally others to joins the haters camp?
Are you going to do this for the next several years? If so, the best advice I can give to the non-haters is to wade through the rage and seek out the decent and the productive on FR. Do not waste your time debating the haters, because they seem to thrive on self-righteousness and rage. Try as they might, they have given absolutely no GOOD reason to allow a dem to win the presidency. Their continued daily rantings about why they hate McCain, on EVERY thread about him, only serve to define their insanity.
I seek out those of like mind. G-d Bless John Sidney McCain III.
P.S. McCain haters, please review the link in order to familiarize yourselves with the sound of Skank's voice so you can hear his directive in your head when you are about to post something vile.
...never said I hate him....just that I’m not voting for him.
I did not realize you were active duty. Hey - THANKS!!!
Keep going Brother. I am loving it!
I’m going to have to hold my nose once again and vote for McCain. BUT I promise that I am going to raise holly hell when he pushes his globalist global warming crap. If elected he is our employee and it’s up to us to keep him in his place.
You now owe me a keyboard.
I thought this thread got yanked...
“groin leech”
LOL!
Never voted for a stinking democrap ...not going to start now. Sorry Johnnny. No ...I'm not sorry ... only sorry that the Republican party has so few conservatives left in it that it has made itself totally non viable.

SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP!
Practice what you preach!!!!
Don’t tell me how to think or what to say!!
Curious, a thread that was receiving multiple replies per minute disappeared for over 8 hours.
Hmmmmmmm?
Regarding your #4.
The only way this is likely to happen is if he names Hillary as his V.P. candidate.
You do the math.
Cheers!
First of all, the rage on this thread seems directed at McCain detractors, not McCain. That said, I mostly agree with your characterization of the choice, with the added hope given a McCain loss that conservatives in Congress will feel freer to fight against the President's agenda if that President has a (D) after their name. I know it's a gamble, and I think smart conservatives can come down on either side. I am not voting for McCain, but I can respect your reasoning for voting for him.
I picketed Bill Clinton yesterday in Medford, Oregon, and I asked all the other Pro-Lifers there who they were voting for.
Guess what? NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON said they were going to vote for John McCain.
I won’t vote for him because he wants government to censor groups that criticize politicians 60 days before an election.
Any politician who believes in censoring the NRA and Right to Life does not deserve to run for public office, whether it’s trash collector or president.
That’s one of the first things a politician must uphold, the belief in the Constitution and the 1st Amendment. McCain doesn’t support the 1st Amendment, he supports, instead, censorship of political viewpoints by groups like the NRA and Right to Life.
I’ve never expressed any vitriol towards people who disagree with me, by the way...as you seem to be doing here, a bit.
Ed
I’m not. One of our boys is an active duty Naval Officer. My husband was ex Navy.
Still THANKS. Those also serve who stand and wait.
