The Straight Talk Express is retired. Political Correctness, here we come.

Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain accused North Carolina's Republican Party of being "out of touch with reality" over its refusal to pull an advertisement criticizing Democrat Barack Obama.

The advertisement criticized Barack Obama for being too extreme. Well, he is. It's not just all of his associations that have come to light in recent months. He was described in the National Journal as the most liberal member of the Senate. The main stream media wouldn't hesitate to describe any conservative as extreme. There's no good reason to gratuitously bash the North Carolina GOP. That wasn't enough. He felt compelled to bash the Bush Administration for the response to Katrina, while ignoring the abysmal performances of the Democrat mayor and governor. When push comes to shove in the general election, does Senator McCain expect volunteers to come forward from independents and moderates?

Since he became a prisoner of war decades ago, the Democrat Party has morphed into the local branch of the Socialist International. Within a few months of toppling Saddam's regime in Iraq, the Democrat Party led by its Moveon.org faction, has been openly undermining our efforts in Iraq and trying to portray it as an exercise in imperialism doomed to failure like Vietnam.

All is fair in love and war. We can't have an honest discussion with the left. It's no time to refuse weapons given to the GOP when the only weapons we really have are the opposition's own words. The left has infected all politics with its vile political correctness so much that conservatives can't say anything about domestic politics without being called mean, sexist, racist or homophobic. In foreign affairs, the left is not satisfied unless American interests are sacrificed, and we kowtow to a useless United Nations. Otherwise, they say we are warmongers. That's the state of the supposedly loyal opposition that conservatives are expected by Senator McCain to treat with due deference. Is he nuts? I'm serious.

This year the Democrats were supposed to do well nationwide, but almost all of our ills can be traced back to Democrats or their their half baked economic solutions, global warming foolery and sedition over Iraq. Our economy sucks because of left wing handicaps of printing fiat currency, easy credit, over regulation of industry, entitlement spending, etc. Our economy is going nowhere fast without cheap energy, energy independence, spending discipline and entitlement reform.

Senator McCain will face either Obama or Hillary, each easily described as an extremist from the left. Both are in the pocket of the NEA, and they promise to improve medical care in this country the same way as the left has improved education in this country. Twenty five years later, education is worse.

Senator McCain's medical history is well known. His left jaw looks rather pronounced. His sanity and his temper is often questioned. The American people, not just the GOP before he actually gets the nomination, deserve to know the results of his current medical status, including imaging studies, IMHO.

"That way, at least, I can still live with both myself and my conscience. "

How very noble of you. You can't live with yourself over a compromise, buy you CAN live with yourself for helping put America under social control, socialized medicine, 40-50% taxation, etc.

Yeah, sure...that makes a lot of sense I'm sure. But you can be on this board next January boasting about how well you're lliving with yourself.

Why don't you get some foreign pen-pals and ask them how well they live with themselves under a Socialist government?

I'd rather "lean left" with McCain and be in hillary/obama's breadlines.

Your posting makes no sense whatsoever. You seriously need to calm down; take a few deep breaths; and reconsider what you just spewed.

If my not casting a ballot for John McCain is, somehow, "helping put America under social control" -- i.e., the same as voting for Cankles or Obama -- then, by precisely the same [*kaff*kaff*] "logic" -- my not casting a ballot for either Cankles or Obama must be the same thing, plainly, as voting for their opponent, yes?

If it works BOTH ways, then it's genuinely a logical observation, and (therefore) may be treated as such; if NOT, then you're simply bloviating. Which is it, please?
