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.
“Laws need to be changed as soon as possible to prevent a repeat.”
It gets worse, here in the Pacific Northwest.
Stupid Washington voters just enacted a law that says the top two vote-getters go to the ballot, the parties appealed it, and the Supreme Court said it’s fine as it’s written.
Stupid oregon wants to adopt that same law. They say it allows more centrist applicants to political office.
The result will be, though, that in race after race, instead of the two candidates on tha ballot being members of different parties, reflecting differing political stances, the two most popular names will be listed instead, meaning that in most races the candidates will be two liberal Democrats and NO Republicans, no conservatives!
It’s absurd...they may as well just give the election to the liberals and skip the expense of printing ballots.

BUMP that. Twice.
FR is one of the the engines by which McCain wins the Presidency.
Eroding his support here is essential for any Democrat candidate.
Yah, that's a big IF.. I just don't see it. I am voting for McCain. Strangely enough, ideologue that I am.. FR has actually taught me this type of pragmatism..
Politics I think it's called.
Cry all you want. The McCain folks told people like me they didn't need us. OK. I'm NOT voting for president.
Starting to get worried you can't win without the conservative vote?

>>Personally, I just think they are Democrat plants.<<
You think Jim Robinson is a “Democrat plant?” What have you been drinking?
See #389.
All they need to do is enforce the damn laws they work so hard to create, and stop treating the USBP agents like thugs and criminals.
But God is not the "creator's name". The name of the particular God of the Hebrews is Jehovah. That "god" became The "God" when the Hebrews developed the theory which was reinforced by the victory over Sennacherib of Assyria in 701 BC (kind of like if the US attacked Grenada and Grenda winning).
Just because Monotheism thrived and developed doesn't mean the capitalized version of god is becomes the name of that single God. The word "God" still refers to Jehovah. Kind of like referring to the President generally means POTUS (as opposed to the president of a company). Still referring to The President doesn't necessarily name that specific individual.
Thus, not writing "God" is just exagerrated over-bearing self-righteousness. But hey, that's just my opinion. And, it really doesn't keep me awake at night.
Amen Cinnamon Girl!
PS John Issacs was awesome as the “badguy” in The Patriot.
I don't like the Mavericks because of their owner. Go Stars!!!
Wow! You seem to overlook that this is a conservative forum, not a liberal or even moderate Republican forum. I would suggest you should perhaps think twice about who you tell to “Shut your stinking trap!”
Perhaps you should begin with your own?
Unfortunately, that thinking and manner of voting is exactly what is responsible for the leftward drift of the republican party. The only thing that I see is going to stop the drift is a flat out refusal to vote for a liberal with an (R) following his name.
There is a great deal of mental gymnastics going on in the GOP when standing on principal becomes 'looking silly', as you put it. Another couple of election cycles and the republican party will look exactly like the democrat party and the only responsible parties will be the voters that followed along blindly.
“The stakes are just too high to do otherwise.”
They really are not. Even if you buy the premise that McCain is pro-war, Iraq won’t even be an issue by election day. The candidates are identical on everything else.
BS. Abraham, Moses, et al were not polytheistic.
Cordially,
well ... I didn’t say, “shut your trap.”
I may have thought it.
But YOU PEOPLE have becoming hate mongers, and worst of all,
YOU PEOPLE are
booooooooorrrring!
Well done Calpernia! Very well done.
Yeah, but we are not dead, so there is hope...
