For every one [...] we’ll pick up five or six independents [...].

Heh. McCain must just be rolling in money then...

And you know this for sure?

I'm using recent history as my guide.

folks who sit it out or vote third party can’t bitch the next four years.

To bad you hate our military so much as they are the ones who especially will be hurt the most.

No, not really. Bush is no better on those three. Bush signed CFR, Bush and McCain hold the exact same position on abortion, and Bush would sign the AWB while McCain would not.

Once. The second time. And I'm being perfectly honest.

Also, I have NEVER voted for Voinovich, either for governor or the Senate.

“You’re just going to have to accept the fact that not every CONSERVATIVE is a wawawawawa cry-baby take-my-marbles-home-cause-I-didn’t-get-my-way.”

Nor does every conservative compromise their values and support a liberal politician as you are doing.

With a lifetime conservative rating of 82% it looks rather silly to call McCain and out-and-out liberal.

I think that he will pick Charlie Crist for VP and upset many conservatives even more after doing so.

With the Clinton camp and the Obama camp dead set against the other winning, it's a damn shame we couldn't have come together and nominated someone better than McCain.

Give me a break. That's not worth a response.

And let's be honest here. Barack Hussien McGovern is going to be the 'Rat nominee. My dead Republican grandmother would beat him in the general election. Unless McCain gets caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy, he's in. He'll win 41 states at a minimum.

Bob Dole, I would've trusted to appoint a strict constructionist to the court.

McCain? I'm not so sure.

Is McCain likely to appoint somebody who might overturn his signature piece of legislation -- McCain-Feingold?

I doubt it.

In fact, there is reason to believe that McCain's appointments to SCOTUS would not be significantly different than Obama's or Hillary's.

With every day that goes by, it becomes more obvious that McCain is not only "not a friend of conservatives", he may well be "an enemy of conservatives".

LOL! yeah, sure he is. They're launching their nation-wide Classified-Ads campaign even as we speak. He will be in the "Job Wanted -President" section.

*shifty eyes* Strategery. :D :D

“I feel McCain is unbalanced. I cannot be expected to vote for an unbalanced person. McCain is not a conservative. I cannot be expected to vote for a non-conservative. And so I sha’n’t”

and so instead of voting for one you might have questions and concerns about (not sure, maybe)

you will vote for, or help elect, ones with whom it is absolutely guaranteed you will hate - particularly on life time serving judges

sounds illogical to me

i think our “conservative” effort must be placed in the Congressional elections, where our candidates can still serve office in opposition to McPain

But he’s a loyal American who supports our military.

There are AT LEAST 324 that would probably not agree with you.

Oh wait...there's MORE!

Ooooops, can't forget THESE GUYS!
