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.

I don’t bite my bullets — better use for them than that.
Is it Death — or Bulunga?
The ememies speak with forked tongue like a snake.
The phrase “None of the above” comes to mind. I will actively campaign against McCain and Obama. Neither is CIC material.
So while Mr. McCain is fighting the islam-fascists in front of us, he’ll be opening the backdoor to allow in the UN communists with his global warming scam.
So when the troops come home from the middle east, they’ll find a fascist federal bureaucrat on their doorstep stealing their money for cap and trade scams and telling them how to live every moment of their life.
Is that what you’re advocating?
Mutiny at the Convention: The Last, Best Hope for Conservatives in ‘08”
Organizing a mutiny at the grassroots level shouldn’t be all that hard to jumpstart.
I don’t know how it is in other states, but in Tennessee, the names of the delegates were on the primary ballot under each candidate’s name. A lot of those name are familiar, as I am sure they are for others in each state.
The starting point would be to CONTACT THOSE PEOPLE...EN MASSE...and let them know how you feel. If there are mass abstentions on the first ballot at the Convention, McCain won’t get the votes he needs.
What I’m getting at here is to do what it takes to GET THE NOMINATION PROCESS TO THE SECOND BALLOT. If that could happen, then all bets are off, a “raucus caucus” ensues and the true fight for the “heart and soul” of the GOP can really begin.
It’s not impossible. We know who our delgates are...CONTACT THEM.
Barack Obama, in Portland, on Iran: “They don’t pose a serious threat to us.” This breathtakingly naive statement alone disqualifies Obama as CIC.
If this is the best the United States can propose for the highest office in the land, I’ll leave that entry blank on my ballot. Perhaps I’ll vote third party or write-in Ann Coulter.
“Biting the Bullet: It’s Either McCain or Obama”
That’s no choice! That’s like the killer holding a pistol and giving a guy a “choice” of “Head or chest?”
