3 a.m. and I just got off of work.
I'm one of the "rich" people that just don't deserve a tax break.
I'm so glad the democrats and the republicans know how to spend my money.
I can't make up my mind whether to vote for McCain or just sit at home and laugh my tail off for 3-4 years.
This country is being destroyed by over-regulation. I see no hope that McCain and his environmental band wagon will give us any relief on that score.
On the comforting side, Sir Winston L S Churchill moved in that hazy middle-section between Labor and Conservative for much of his elected life, changed parties from Labor to Conservative, and then led a Conservative-Labor Coalition Government thru the Second World War.
He was the UK’s greatest Prime Minister ever (followed by Wellington and Marlborough IMO), and is usually held up as a fantastic Conservative model.
Just possibly McCain will do something similar. Nothing says that he has to stay the same as he already is. Churchill didn’t.
Sadly, Gorebull Warming negates one of those vital issues, The Gangrene of 14 and McCain-Feingold negate the other.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
He cannot, and will not.
Also, conservatives, though unhappy, will do the right thing for the country if only through a sense of duty.
Whistling past the graveyard.
John McCain seems to enjoy saying things that set my conservative teeth on edge. As they suggest, these things demoralize. That which demoralizes also causes hesitation, procrastination, reconsideration.
That’s exactly what John McCain doesn’t want, but he seems hell-bent on getting it.
I think he wants to prove he can win without the conservatives by forming a coalition of lib/mod republicans + mod Democrats + mod independents.
He doesn’t want to be beholden to conservatives in any way shape or form. In terms of judgeships, that is scarey. John McCain will appoint what his experience in the Senate says will get through without much difficulty; i.e., “moderates.”
Normally, by this time, I'm spending a regular work day, every day, working on my Presidential candidate's campaign. Making calls, going house-to-house, and anything else I can do to help. I'm doing for Senator Istook, but no Presidential work. I'll vote for McCain, but I can't, in honestly, work for a candidate I can't believe in.
I grew up in the country. A maverick is a heifer, steer, bull, or cow, that is too stupid to follow the rest of the herd. Somebody needs to inform the McCain campaign. I've already tried.
McCain will not appoint originalist judges(unless by accident)
And he's not good on spending either.
McCain promises billions in new spending
I could take the tax part seriously if he didn't believe in huge tax increases via cap and trade.
He is also 99% better than gun grabbing Obama. Just wait till Obama is President with the MSM behind him touting gun control He will make Bill Clinton seem pro-2nd amendment.
Another author makes the mistake of confusing conservatives with John McCain's "base". The Senator's base is the 80% liberal media, and he would have to "woo" conservatives much the same way he will have to "woo" independents.
A few months month back a local Cincinnati radio personality was asked to fire up the audience at a McPain rally, just prior to McPain showing up. Bill Cunningham, the radio personality, had the temerity to mention Obama’s middle name Hussein, as in Barak Hussein Obama. McPain upon learning of this from his buddies in the liberal MSM immediately condemned what Cunningham had said ... as Cunningham put it, McPain thru me under the bus ... the straight talk express bus, now known, I believe, as the 'no surrender' bus.
That sums it up.
He picks MYTH for VP and nothing will keep me from staying home.
This morning I see McCain’s said it’s sometimes hard to be proud of America. Oh, really? Is he now whitewashing Mrs. Obama’s remarks? If so, he’s letting the MSM manipulate him. God help us, indeed.
This has always been my problem with Mr. McCain. He will, no doubt, boldly and energetically fight the jihadists in front of us. But he will open the backdoor to let in swarms of UN and Marxist bureaucrats to control every inch of our lives to seek some kind of insane environmental utopia.
Mr. McCain is either too stupid and too complaisant to see the danger or he’s willingly selling out the country and our heritage.
“McCain is solid on two (alas, two) vital issues that make the difference; spending and judges. From the frustration of eight years of a Republican Administration......
Here’s the bad news.
Name ONE CONSERVATIVE serving in McCain’s campaign? You can’t, he hates Conservatives. So he won’t appoint any to the court. Plus when you trow in that he won’t have the votes and he stopped appointments with his gang of 14.
Next, he opposed the Bush tax cuts. His support of amnesty and cap & trade will result in our tax rates and price increases to all new hieghts.
Be not decieved McCain is a SOCIALIST of the worse kind.
And on the war congress will have the votes to force an early withdrawal thus saddleing the loss on Republicans.
As Rush stated, “McCain will be the last Republican POTUS for the next 50 years”
There appears to be only one road remaining to take our country away from the one world government socialists.
My hope is God removes McCain and delivers us from the evil.
It is likely my state will go for McCain and I will vote to register my dissatisfaction with McCain. I would do likewise in a state where Obama was the overwhelming favorite. I would only vote for McCain if I lived in a state where the outcome was uncertain. I certainly would not contribute or work for McCain.
