NRO Editorial: Big Mistake (McCain)

National Review ^ | May 13, 2008 | The Editors

I know my FReeper friend, I know.

I agree that seems his position unless he has mental issues. He publicly admitted he knows nothing about the economy. On TV he talks to himself and has Lieberman whisper answers to him. He cannot tell a Shi'ite from a Sunni and perhaps not from a shiitake. Cindy refuses to release her tax return - an issue surely to be used by his opponents.

Maybe the original plan was to have Hillary win and appoint him to a high position. Only Obama ruined it, and McCain is now confused.

No McCain! He will sign all the Dems liberal bills, and the GOP will get the blame when they destroy the economy. Let Obama win, and then Dems take all the heat for their mistakes (a la 1980 and 1994). This is the only way for Conservatives to take back the GOP and Congress. Mark my words...

From what I can see around here, it's already gone.

I have yet to encounter a conservative who intends to vote for McQueeg. Conservatives are done with him, the Big Tent GOP, the RNC, NRCC and NRSC.

I’m beginning to think your view makes sense, though I’m still concerned about the judges which as you know are lifetime appointments.

Don't count on McCain to appoint solid conservatives to the court. It's not in his interest to have a court which may declare some of his pet projects unconstitutional.

[CharacterCounts]

So, all of McCain's bad policies are reversible! How many bad government policies have you seen reversed in your lifetime?

"It’s not really supposed to be about what you “want”. It’s supposed to be a selfless act that denies power to the worst choice."

I'm sure you are a really nice person, Owen, and if we should ever get to know one another better, I'll bet I might grow to think well of you, but I'm sorry, I couldn't disagree with that statement more!!!

I do NOT believe that altruism is a virtue! Especially when it comes to exercising my precious voting franchise that others have died to make available to me!!

Their act of ultimate altruism in a world where altruism would best be elimininated, but can't seem to be because of the evil in it, was to free me from the tyranny of the majority mob rule and allow me to vote FOR the ideas and representatives I WANT, NOT be complelled to vote for the lesser of two evils.

Of those two evils, I'm still being told to vote for an evil and I refuse to move us ever closer to "the dark side" with my precious voting franchise toward EVIL!!!

It is in the religious compartment of my life that I give full reign to altruism, not the legal, social, or political compartment!

Yes... Evil does come in various degrees, doesn't it??? The one you've pictured, however, is evil compounded by utter stupidity, in that it's adherents have no accurate understanding of simple plumbing, or even an electrical wall socket!!!

May God have mercy on their miserable, lost souls!!! (or in this case, soul)
