Never in my lifetime and I hope never again has there been such an awful group in the latter stages of the Presidential race.

This is a corrupt "Two-Party Cartel" run by & controlled by the elites & as cartels go it will only get worse next go around & thereafter.

No, McCain has already clinched the nomination. Republicans voters have already chosen their candidate. Causing a ruckus at the convention will on help the Dims. Anyone that betrays the party will quickly be shown the door. Luckily, those most likely to cause trouble (the Paulbots) are being weeded out beforehand.

For sure, and awful is better than horrible.

No, Mr. Awful is not better than the other choices.

John McCain will destroy your party and the conservative nature of the GOP if he becomes President.

How you may ask?

It's simple. As shown by his comments during the last few days, his Comprehensive Immigration plan is on his short list of to do items.

We all know that Comprehensive Immigration Reform is simply a code-phrase for Amnesty for Illegal Aliens.

John McCain will grant amnesty to the 20-40 million+ illegal aliens in this country who will vote (just like the current Hispanic voting block) 70%+ Democrat.

This will dump a huge imbalance of Democrat voters into the US electorate and will erase the razor thin margins between Democrat and Republican voters.

Republicans will start losing by large numbers from this point on and will become the minority party for decades.

Furthermore, by granting Amnesty against the desires of the GOP's base (conservatives) he will have put the last knife into the back of conservatives.

Conservatives will leave the party by the millions or simply check out of the process and give up.

On top of all the mischief that John McCain will visit on the GOP with this single issue, he will also be pushing Global Warming, a health care plan that has socialistic leanings, he will not be pushing for major tax-cuts as evidenced by his history of voting against killing the death tax and voting against President Bush's tax cuts and calling them tax-cuts for the rich. He will also be pushing the Global Warming scam including a Carbon Cap-and-Trade system that will tear our economy apart.

Now, what do you think our GOP congress will be doing all this time?

They will be rubber-stamping John McCain's agenda much as the current congress, for the most part, have done with President Bush (No fiscal Responsibility, Big new Medicare Program, etc.)

Now, if either of the Marxists are elected, the GOP members in congress will all of a sudden grow a spine and remember who they represent and will fight like Hell guaranting a much higher level of gridlock.

I vote for Gridlock.

“All of this is so far above my paygrade but it doesnt change the fact that he has and continues to piss off the conservative base.The powers behind the scenes are just loving this.Cant we get at the delegates or do we not have them?”

Don’t feel bad. It is above my paygrade too! When I still hear McCain referred to as the “presumptive nominee” when he already has the delegates, I wonder if something could possibly happen to remove him and maybe get Thompson or Romney instead. Then I read posts about McCain blowing up and causing his own demise. Guess anything can happen, but looks like McCain is just going to be the lesser of three evils in November. :(
