Try as I might, I have never measured up to him.
"No" and "sale," in that order.
I am not going to vote for McLAME PERIOD! I refuse to vote for a democrat in republican clothes.
Also, my money is not going to be sent to the GOP either. I just sent a check out to the NC republican party.
Why do ALL of the republicans with a pair of cahones seem to be women?
On what basis does anyone think the McCain will offer up anything other than liberal judges?
I suppose they might well be a little less reactionary than the commies that Hillary and Obama would nominate. But that is far from reassuring.
Another example of how we have the choice of being massively screwed or being a little less massively screwed.
IMO, we have already lost the chance of ever pushing the SC in a less liberal direction. Gone forever, thanks to the Republicans in the years since 1994. They had their chance and they squandered it in a most ignominious fashion.
Then why didn’t his national hq have that information? Would have been fairly common knowledge wouldn’t it?
My point was the Revolution. We are at that point now. Who will lead us?

Reality is the 20 cents McCain will have and a stunning defeat in Novemeber.
I am not even remotely impressed with your time here or you yourself, for that matter
Most conservatives will not vote for your liberal candidate and frankly, your style is indictive of the fact that you are an ass when you see that you aren’t getting YOUR way.
Get over it.
Accept it.
Its called reality.
Thanks for your kind words. I, too, could never measure up to my father.
Your Dad was a true hero. Bless him.
That’s twice you’ve called me a filthy word. And you criticize my style.
You are a fraud.
Uh, how bout you go back over to DU and play ok.This is a conservative website not a rino site.Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and hit the REPORT ABUSE button. That's the last recourse of the crybaby anyway. Go cry to mommy and daddy that somebody in the playground said something you didn't like.
For the record, I was a dedicated Fredhead and have only grudgingly accepted the fact that McCain is the party nominee.
But the level of irrationality and vitriol among some posters here is absolutely stunning.
Here's something else for the record:
American Conservative Union Congressional Ratings
Clinton 9.0
Obama 8.0
McCain 82.3
But of course, the ACU is nothing compared to the few self-appointed arbiters of conservatism here in FR. The ACU counts for nothing. So, evidently, do the Islamofacists, who McCain has vowed to fight and the two rats have vowed to surrender to.
And you accuse ME of being from DU.
I think those who are posting here trying to boost Obama in November are DEFINITELY from DU.
But again, hit the REPORT ABUSE button. Get me kicked off for being "insufficiently conservative by the standards of several posters on FR". If Jim agrees, I'll go. With great reluctance, because I enjoy the conversations I have here with the other non-fanatics on this site. But if you can get me 86'd based on my comments on this thread, go for it.
ACU Ratings:
Lifetime Rating / 2005 Rating
John McCain 83 / 80
Hillary Clinton 9 / 12
Barack Obama 8 / 8
McCain 82.3 = Lifetime rating.
McCain 65. = 2006 rating - Most recent available.
McCain might have been a conservative many years ago, but those days are long gone.
The 65. rating puts McCain at the 4th most liberal Republican Senator, rather like his, very near the bottom, class standing at the United States Naval Academy.
So what’s your point? What’s your goal?
President Obama?
Now THERE’S a conservative for you.
There’s an AMERICAN for you. A G-d D-n America American.
There’s a president every burkha-wearer on earth can give praise to.
And we might get something kinda like a conservative from McCain. Maybe.
Boy, that says a lot about our guy...
McCain is not a conservative, he's barely a Republican.
Posting his high lifetime ACU rating is lying by omission when the most recent rating is vastly lower.
In the big picture, like many, I'm terribly torn. Shall I, for the first time in my 52 years, just go out to eat with my wife and enjoy the evening or vote a write in, for someone who won't win, or least appealing of all vote for the despicable John McCain?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he did. Still, I’ll take my chances, thinking that whatever picks he’ll make will still be slightly better than the ones Hillary or Obama would make.
Supreme Court judges are the ONLY reason I will vote for McCain in November. But if it looks like he’ll win comfortably in WY without my help (chances are he will), I won’t vote for him at all.
Posting his high lifetime ACU rating is lying by omission when the most recent rating is vastly lower.I was posting not just his lifetime rating, but all 3 candidates lifetime ratings, all from the same column, for comparison. If I posted McCain's lifetime vs. Obama's 2006 rating that would be lying. (Are you all so brainwashed by the pro-Obama media that you don't understand the concept of truth vs. lies?)
You and others here just want to cling to some insane belief that McCain and Obama are virtually the same.
Please don't lecture me about McCain's faults. I know all about them and posted voluminously on the subject back in the days when it mattered, in the fall of '07 and early '08.
But that's all ancient history.
Now we have a contest between an American and an anti-American. We're not talking about conservative vs liberal anymore. We're talking about friend vs. foe.
What do you people need to be able to see such an obvious difference? Are you so bummed out about McCain being nominated (it is a bummer, I admit) that you've all gone 100% loco?
B.S.! Maybe Democrats think that. I live in AZ and I'm a conservative and I do not think Babbitt was "one of the better governors of Arizona", and I have never ever heard of any other AZ conservatives who think that.
