Meet the New Barry Goldwater [McCain]

“We will survive that, if not happily.”

I’m not so sure.

[Grunthor]

“Wonder how you’ll feel after McQueeg’s amnesty and the MS-13 gang members move in next door.”

Are you kidding? Happy’ll have a fiesta.

[LiveFree99]

Well, it is very PC to “celebrate diversity”!

[gunnyg]

It’s no Goldwater—it’s only the new McStangelove.

[maine-iac7]

Good one...

[maine-iac7]

but I think Obama wins comfortably

Don't believe everything you think...

[miele man]

For some reason, I just cannot bring myself to say, “In your heart, you know he’s right”.

Younger folks should know this was a campaign slogan for Barry Goldwater. He was right then but the country didn’t know it.

[Vigilanteman]

My bet is that when he gets in, he’ll shift right. Just like most of those “moderate” or “conservative” Donks shifted hard left once they got elected in 046.

I hope you are right, but fear it is a false hope. The time he has spent kissing the ring of La Raza versus trying to mend fences with conservatives is particularly telling. Does he really have to shore up his La Raza credentials? Obama already supports amnesty and driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Does McCain think he is going to top that?

Sorry, but I still can't bring myself to vote for the guy. I would have much rather taken a chance on Rudi or Romney who, although they both governed ultraliberal northeastern constituencies, at least didn't take delight in p***ing on conservatives.

Quin Hillyer says: “We certainly could do worse than to be stuck with.....[John McCain] as our own, infuriating, headstrong, bullying, honor-obsessed, indefatigable, and sometimes downright inspirational SOB.”

Always the same inspiring argument from McCain supporters:

Dear Conservatives,

Please vote for John McCain because everybody else is even more horrible than he is.

[Grunthor]

Or....OBAMA, booga booga!

Scared yet?

[calcowgirl]

I’m so sick of these propagandists misrepresenting history just to make the RINOs appear palatable.

It’s really sad.

[Mariebl]

Well, you can’t drive a nuke car, at least not yet.

If you use nuclear power for your electricity, you have all the gasoline you need, for cars.

[Mariebl]

You know, the best thing that anyone who's pro nuclear power could do is to be, or pretend to be very concerned about global warming.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Comparing McLiberal to Mr. Conservative.

Open memo to Quin Hillyer:

One Arizona Senator (Goldwater) stood up for conservatism and didn't apologize....he "lost" and is a legend for standing up for his principles.

The other Arizona Senator (McLiberal) trashes conservatism hoping to "win" so he can gain power.
