Aww, then I guess he’s gotta dance with the ones that brung him.

[dforest]

The time is now to dump McCain. He is unable to get cash contributions and he is unable to get grass roots support.

His whole campaign is based on a notion that Democrats will support him.

Got big news for you Juan. Democrat voters are against the war. On that alone they will vote for whoever the piddly assed Democrats nominate. You have dissed the GOP base. We do not trust you, that is based on good reason by your past behavior.

Gee Juan, how much dough have you brought in lately? Uh, moderates and undecided Dems ain’t sending a whole lot are they? Bwhahahahaha!

[Man50D]

The title is an understatement.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

No matter what McCain says from now on, he's lying through his teeth.

Agreed.

Juan McCain is a demonstrable serial liar.

[Racehorse]

We are actually at a historic turning point on the court and to let it laspe will be an opportunity missed we won't have again in our lifetime.

Yes.

Too bad so many folks apparently find absolutely delicious the taste of gnawing off their own toes.

[Man50D]

But McCain is the lesser of three evils.

It's that kind of thinking in the GOP that has made a socialist like McCain the presumptive nominee. Stick to that method and each election will see increasing socialist candidates.

[Man50D]

In the end, many conservatives may wind up voting for McCain, but they won’t be shelling out hard cash to his campaign.

Voting for a socialist like McCain is not the action of a conservative. His position to an overwhelming majority of positions is anathema to conservatism.

[Man50D]

I agree, staying home or third party vote is not in the best interest for my family and I.

It will be impossible to vote for a third party when there is only one big socialist Republicrat party. Another party will restore the two party system.

[Rum Tum Tugger]

Not only will I not vote for McCain, I will never, ever vote for a Republican again for any office. Dubya has shown me what the GOP is all about and I want none of it.

Of course, I’ll never, ever vote for a Rat either.

[infantrywhooah]

I agree, but it’s a moot point at this point. All we can do is keep a democrat out of the White House. Personally I would not have pissed on McCain if he were on fire during the earlier stages of the campaign, pinning my hopes on Fred. But all of that is in the past. All we can do now is keep the libs out of the White House and minimize the damage.

[Man50D]

Compared to Obamao, he is William Buckley.

Compared to conservatives he is far out to the socialist left.

[infantrywhooah]

Wwll given there are only two parties, I guess you are pretty much SOL. Maybe you should go live in a cabin in Montana or somewhere like that.

[padre35]

Further left then Obamao?

[dforest]

Have you fallen asleep at the wheel or what? Do you really think that if McCain wins he is going to get a strict constructionist judge past a Democrat controlled Congress?

Copme on, get into reality. Fat Teddy and McCain’s democrat cohorts will never allow him to get a conservative SCOTUS nominee by them.

Unfortunately, McCain will comply, and you will get another Souter or O’Conner.

This notion of voting for McCain, the liberal, on SCOTUS appointments is a weak and futile attempt to convince yourself that McCain is someone other than who he really is.

McCain needs to cross the aisle to the right side to garner Conservative voters. He just does not care and that is why he will lose.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>Voting for a socialist like McCain is not the action of a conservative. His position to an overwhelming majority of positions is anathema to conservatism.

LOL McCain's not a socialist. But like many Republicans who lived through the age of Reagan, its become fashionable to push moderate politics by promoting far too many liberal policies in the hopes of gaining the votes of empty headed independents.

In the end, most conservatives will vote for McCain. The alternatives are even more repugnant.

Drilling in ANWR is part of winning the WOT...

As is securing the border and ousting illegals.

That 's two strikes, as far as I am concerned.

McCain Feingold, and he's outta there!

Only a conservatve (as in clearly, 'very' conservative) veep pick can change my view on this election: pay off debt, bury the favorite arms, keep a couple of bolt-actions handy and a wheel gun or two, and hunker down on a stack of rice and beans.

We're in for a hellofa ride either way.

At this point I'm not even sure how much (little) of that is hyperbole...

[cripplecreek]

McCain is counting on the reliable cowardice of wishy washy conservatives to help him usher in more liberalism.

[dforest]

Since when does someone sign up to post in 2008 and call out a poster who has been here far longer than you?

You make me laugh, newer newbie.

I am sure you will get kicked out of here. Why? Because you are not a conservative.

Go pound sand.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>Only a conservatve (as in clearly, 'very' conservative) veep pick can change my view on this election:

Ditto.

[Man50D]

Winning the WOT is still my top issue and except for the water boarding fiasco by McCain, he is the best of the three to fight and win it.

We won't win the war on terror by voting for socialist McCain. The WOT is not occurring just in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a global problem including our own borders. It is a fact terrorists have infiltrated the country by posing as illegal aliens. Despite that fact McCain has repeatedly giving his support of amnesty for illegal aliens. Most recently he publicly stated his opposition to stopping municipalities from declaring themselves sanctuary cities for illegals. His stance on the WOT endangers the country by making it easier for terrorists to destroy us from within our borders.
