If McCain genuinely wants the support of conservatives, now and through November, then he needs to do what every politician seeking the support of any given voting bloc routinely does, and meet their specifically vocalized needs to such an extent as to earn said support.

As the recent outpouring of raw, naked outrage on the NRCC web site makes both manifest and plain: insofar as the voting conservative base is concerned, he demonstrably has not done so.

Responsibility for the adamant rejection of John McCain by the conservative voting bloc, therefore, rests ultimately with the unsatisfactory candidate, and he alone.

It does no good whatsoever to hop up and down like so many amphetamined spider monkeys, agitatedly shrilling "OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMAOBAMAOBAMA!!!," as Barack Obama is not running as the Republican candidate for the presidency this year; McCain is. He either closes the deal himself, based on his ability to persuade conservatives what he himself has to offer them (if anything)... or: he does not.

Acts of Terrorism against the U.S.

November 4th 1979 through January 20 1981, 53 diplomats held hostage in Iran. Carter Administration.

4 years and 6 months later, October 23, 1983, Marine headquarters bombed in Beirut. Reagan Administration.

5 years and 2 months later, December, 21, 1988, Pan Am flight 103 brought down over Scotland by a bomb carried on board. Reagan administration.

5 years and 2 months later, February 26, 1993, First World Trade center Bombing. Clinton Administration.

7 months later, October 3, 1993. Dead U.S. peacekeeping soldiers dragged through the streets of Mogadishu Somalia.
Clinton Administration.

2 years and 8 months later, June 25, 1996, Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia bombed. Clinton Administration.

2 years and 1 month later, August 7, 1998, U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania bombed. Clinton Administration.

2 years and 2 months later, October 12, 2000, U.S.S. Cole bombed. Clinton Administration.

11 months later, September 11, 2001, Both World Trade Center buildings destroyed and the Pentagon damaged by high jacked Airliners. George W. Bush Adminstration.

As of May 19, 2008, 6 years and 8 months have passed without a terrorist attack against the U.S. This is the longest we have been safe in nearly 29 years.

The current strategy of fighting the terrorists in the mountains of Afghanistan and the streets of Baghdad has so far been effective.

What CHANGES will be made by the next administration so we can HOPE for more safe days?

Awesome video:

The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.

How about: Anyone who thinks it's cute or funny that this country will be put in great peril so that "some" may be "taught a lesson" are also this great country's enemies and are also a*holes?

I didn’t misread anything, but of course you could always do a Barack Obama immitation and try to spin, bob, and weave yourself out of this one.

What's most important, gumdrop, is that you genuinely believe that.

LOL!!! Are you PJ O'Rourke hiding out here? Sounds like a way to have some fun at the Congress (turn loose your pets on a day they're going to vote to further sell us into slavery).
