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.
No! McCain has dissed conservatives and the Republican party. By doing so, he has dissed FReeRepublic and many, if not most, of our members hold him in contempt.
But, thank you for your vanity.
I haven’t followed this entire thread but wanted to thank you for posting about the POW/MIAs that were sold out/left behind, etc. It’s one of the reasons I’ll have a difficult time voting for McCain. I have no idea how I’ll vote in November and the discussions here about McCain have been informative. Pro and Con. So, thanks for keeping the POWs/MIAs alive here. I will never forget them.
Point of order:
An anti-McCain hater hates McCain.
An anti-McCain-hater hates McCain-haters.
Yeah, the devil *does* quote scriptures when it is convenient for him too, if you know what I mean.
FR also has a link to Salon Magazine that has been there since ...dunno, year ‘00.
Doesn’t and shouldn’t stop the fine upstanding paying members of Salon from stating their opinions, etc., for fear of what FR thinks.
I’m a big McCain-hater, but, without knowing the relative merits of their arguments, I thought he handled the situation well.
Here, here bump to your 707
“I told them when we’d go up to the Pentagon, whether he walks off a plane or is carried off, you’re not going to leave him in Iraq like you did those guys in Vietnam,” Keith Maupin said.

Screw McCain...untill Ramos and Compean are free I will not vote.
Damn, finally found a post of your’s that I read earlier.
You and I had this discussion a while back and I just wanted to say that I appreciate your posts. I’m not a McCain supporter, no idea what I’m going to do come November. I haven’t read this entire thread either. However, you provided some good info and arguments for supporting him here and in a prior thread. And others have provided info for not supporting him. And, I have my own info.
Why is it Calpernia's posts are being removed?
After the rude, crude, vile and inflamatory things that have been said on FR and this thread in particular, it is hypocritical and absurd! Why not provide a list of the "chosen" so the rest of us will know who has rights and who does not?
You mean you don't get what the lies are supposed to be? As in: Don’t bother, I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.
I guess it means if s/he does not agree with your factual posts they are deemed LIES! See how easy that is?
>>Can we trust McCain to keep his promises or not?
NO! How many times in his lifetime has he taken an oath to defend the USA from enemies, both foreign and domestic? How many times has he taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the USA? Has he EVER kept those oaths? Why would he begin now? <<
It’s a bad sign that he does not seem to want to keep his promises, so far. It’s difficult for me to vote for someone I can’t trust.
I surely do like your tagline.
*sigh*
tell me about it. Instead, I’m concentrating an having a blast participating in “Operation Chaos”.
Find a lib-lovin forum near you and keys just press themselves.
Kiss my McCain Hatin’ Capn’s Quarters.
Now excuse me while I go take a John and wipe my McCain.
