Child I agree. The young and Black don’t care anything about Bambi’s negatives, and all those new voters are going to vote him in.
The appearance is stark... old and pasty versus young and vibrant. Policy differences? not much.

Thank you, this country will not survive a Obama presidency. Mark my words. A no vote is a vote for Obama the closet mooslim.

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

Actually, any person who calls themself a conservative, that can accept McCain with open arms, is not a conservative.

They are extremely liberal republicans. Yet here they are, trying to shove the old goat down the conservative throat.

All we can do is keep a democrat out of the White House.

With all due respect your falling into the same trap as any others. It is not a matter of Republicans versus Democrat. The GOP has moved so far to the socialist left over the years that their ideology is aligning with the socialist Democrats. They are essentially one big socialist Republicrat party. For that reason it is a matter of conservative versus socialist. Voting for McCain, who stands for many things anathema to conservatism, will only advance socialism.

No, but I would suggest you get some meds. I do not believe we have ever posted to each other newer newbie.

You are destined to go back to DU or wherever you spawned.

You are not even clever.

Further left then Obamao?

Much too far left to be considered anywhere close to being a conservative or be supported by conservatives.

It’s not a trap, at this point it is nothing but a grim reality. I am just as disenchanged with the GOP as anyone but I will be GD’d if I am going to vote for a democrat, McCain is a pure stinker but the alternative is unthinkable. But like so many republicans that stayed home in 2004, I will still not let my disenchantment prevent me from voting.

Go back to the DU? Kiss my a$$. You are right, I am not a conservative. I am a GD ultra conservative. And just because you have tenure over me on this forum still does not mean you don’t have your head up your ass, which you most certainly do.

Go ahead and waste your vote then. But don’t piss and moan when Obama takes over the helm because you would have helped put him there.

McCain's reputation as a party maverick ...

How about loose cannon, hot dog, RINO? He's considered a maverick only to his very good 'rat friends in the US senate and liberal MSM. Republican conservatives, which now he claims to be, know him for who he really is ... see my earlier assessment.

Personally I’m writing in Duncan Hunter. I see no point in encouraging the leftward run of the GOP.

LOL McCain's not a socialist

McCain has proven many times in the past and present he is a socialist. He actively sought out the socialist Democrats in 2001 when he was considering joining their party. He has been funded by communist billionaire George Soros. John Kerry was considering him as a VP running mate in 2004. McCain has sponsored several bills with socialists including McCain-Kennedy that would grant amnesty to illegal aliens, McCain-Feingold that would restrict freedom of speech, Lieberman-McCain Stewardship Climate Act that is premised on the fallacy of human induced global warming.

Most recently he admonished his own party and defended Marxist Obama when the North Carolina GOP wanted to run an ad against Obama. He has promised to: speak with the National council Of La Raza, not stop sanctuary cities, and never drill in ANWR. Those are all positions supported by those in the socialist Democrat party.

In the end, most conservatives will vote for McCain.

In the end only those who are not conservative will vote for a socialist like McCain.

The alternatives are even more repugnant.

I know it's hard to accept the fact the GOP has aligned its ideology with the socialist Democrats because it has been happening incrementally for many years. It is not a matter of Republican versus Democrat. It is conservatism versus socialism. The alternative of not supporting conservatism is far worse.

“But don’t piss and moan when Obama takes over the helm”

I wasn’t planning on it.

“because you would have helped put him there.”

No, the utter dipsh*ts that nominated that backstabbing POS put ALL of us in this situation.

The alternative to McCain is conservatism.

“Personally I’m writing in Duncan Hunter.”

An excellent choice, but I feel I ought to give my vote to someone that is running. God if only Hunter had been better known....
