“For the record Kelly, you’ve been here long enough to know that I always capitalize the word Marines, so cheap shot accepted.”

I don’t “know” what you “always” do...
I haven’t read every post you have ever made.
And “I always capitalize the word Marines” is obviously not the case here now is it.

“cheap shot?”
call it what you like...you didn’t and I corrected you.

Yeah but Obama was able to defeat Hillary with a coalition of College educated liberals and Blacks. Now the White Working Class is going to vote overwhelmingly for McCain.

In November, the Democrats will wish it was Hillary as their candidate.

You don't know many people in the armed services whose sacrifices keep you free.

you are in denial

Correct. I'm denying that Obama is electable. I stand by that denial. There are plenty of thoughtless Americans who will vote for him, but there are not enough of those to elect him.

I agree with you, Obama is not going to win a single Southern state while Hillary would be competitive in several.

>He's electible where I live in PA...In fact, I think ...

I have a home in Montgomery County, and I'm saying right now that Obama may easily take Pa.

And that is dispositive to the entire “white people won't vote for him” theory.

They can and they will.

The new dynamic is no longer “anyone but Bush” its “anyone but any republican” and they would elect Castro himself to do it.

"Instead, the Republican Party, which has seen its popularity and electoral fortunes plummet since 2004, will pin its hopes on John McCain - an individual who has frequently clashed with his own party's leadership."

I don't think it's the Republican party, which pins its hopes on McCain, maybe the party elite and party bureaucrats, but no one else. Even McCain supporters make their case in terms of "they're worse". And McCain didn't clash with the party leadership, he's insulted, dissed and dismissed the party's base, it's grassroots.

McCain has a real chance at losing this election, because he can't rally Republicans. Some hopes for McCain.

The MSM just doesn't get it, Republican voters aren't Democrats and don't behave the same way.

McCain has his flaws...

Curiously enough, they are all the same ones that make me not like the Dems too...

Imagine that...

Exactly....People here in PA are furious with Republicans, over gas prices alone...

“The MSM just doesn’t get it, Republican voters aren’t Democrats and don’t behave the same way.”

There are several “conservatives” around here shilling for the creep that need to learn the same lesson.

RUSH: In a shocking 2007 video, Barack Obama promised a leftist group that he would disarm the United States.

For the record Kelly, you’ve been here long enough to know that I always capitalize the word Marines, so cheap shot accepted.

I don’t “know” what you “always” do... I haven’t read every post you have ever made. And “I always capitalize the word Marines” is obviously not the case here now is it.

Kelly, you are acting like an ass here.  I support members of the armed services, and I treat them with respect.  So what you are doing here is trying to infer otherwise by pointing out that I made a simple mistake involving punctuation..  I am on your side here, and you are treating me like I am the enemy because we differ on the damage McCain will do to our nation, and to our military in particular.  You know damn well I didn't mean any disrespect by not capitalizing Marines.  If you didn't then I have overestimated our ability to discern what other well known posters stand for.

I don't expect you to read every one of my comments.  Having made over 70,000 of them on this forum, I would think you might have seen enough of them to know better than what you tried to infer.

cheap shot?

call it what you like...you didn’t and I corrected you.

Yes, you used third grade tactics trying to make a point at my expense, inferring I don't have respect for the Marines.

John McCain - an individual who has frequently clashed with his own party's leadership

And with all the conservatives of both parties.

I'm surrounded by democrats who will vote for Obama. I was even shocked to hear a man in my conservative church talk against Bush...I had assumed he was a Republican since the church is conservative and pro-life...The letters to the editor in the local paper are furious against Republicans...I'm just expecting a democrat landslide...
