I'll gladly consider voting for any of the ones who had the good sense to vote down that Communist ACLU lawyer.
Would that include McCain? - no?

Kaus expects nothing less than a full-blown conservosphere freak-out over this. I’m underwhelmed.
After his public conference call with Clinton supporters (covered extensively by Jonathan Martin) Saturday, John McCain met privately with some 75 of those supporters at his Virginia headquarters, two people who were there said…
“He stayed for a good almost half hour afterwards shaking hands, listening to our concerns, talking to us,” said [Party Unity My Ass] founder Will Bower, who said he thought many of the people there would vote for McCain…
Bower said he’d liked McCain’s answer on judges, in which he “pointed out that he supported Bill Clinton with both Ginsberg [sic] and Breyer.”
What’s he supposed to say? He was there to woo liberals. The best he could do realistically when they asked him about judges was to point to the Gang of 14 and emphasize that he wasn’t an obstructionist when the left’s turn came to pack the Court. Which, incidentally, would be an odd thing for the right to fault him for at this point: After years of Democratic shrieking about Bush’s appointments, my sense is most conservatives believe the senate’s advice and consent should be limited to determining whether the nominee has the legal chops to do the job plus some cursory ideological vetting to make sure there’s no truly fringe kookiness anywhere in his/her closet. If the left had followed McCain’s example, Miguel Estrada would be five years into his tenure on the D.C. Circuit.
Besides, unlike immigration, this clearly isn’t a subject on which Maverick is as far left as Obama — although given the composition of the senate next year, the difference between a McCain appointee and an Obama appointee is likely to be the difference between, say, an O’Connor and a Ginsburg. The former’s better than the latter, but if you think you’re getting another Roberts or Alito under any circumstances, think again.
And that name would be...? Fred Thompson? Bob Barr? Ron Paul??? None of the Above?
Thanks! I went over to Hot Air and found it also.
We have newbie bosses now to tell us what we can and cannot do . They missed your Obama threads or didn’t bother to look.(:0
McCain may not spell the death of conservatism but he's gonna send it underground for a few decades.
The day McCain becomes the GOP nominee is the day I leave the Republican Party. Let the libs that McCain and the other RINOS bring in vote for them. I won't.
{{ crickets }}
I’m not trying to be a pain, but barring either a DRAFT in the convention (which would be unlikely) or the Senator becoming incapacitated, we’re all going to once again have the displeasure of holding our noses and voting for the one who we believe will do the LEAST damage to the nation, the economy, and to the troops.

We are so screwed.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminds me of what Madonna will look like in 20 years.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a paper advocating the age of consent for sex between an adult and a minor should be lowered to 11 years old.
Go McCain!!!!
You suck!!

“McCain to Hillary supporters: I voted to confirm Ginsburg and Breyer, you know”
Republican McCain supporters to Conservatives; IT’S ABOUT THE JUDGES!!!!
Every time this POS does this to them, it just gets FUNNIER AND FUNNIER!
After McCain closes Guantanamo (bringing more terrorists onto US soil), gives amnesty to hordes of illegals, enforces McCain-Feingold, refuses to drill for the massive amounts of oil at our disposal, there is not that much difference than Barry O, my friend.
Fundamental failure of logic.
No, we're not all going to once again have that displeasure, sir.
A Thompson for me please!!
I doubt that very much. One would have to be a hermit to not be aware of the latest passionate caresses given the Dems by McCain....and there seem to be several new ones every day.
I would.
If you happen to find out that the admiral's widdle kid is on fire, Freepmail me immediately!
>Is every other Republican in the Senate off-limits?
Is every other Republican in the Senate as far left as any democrat so called “Moderate?”
Yes? No?
McCain is way out there, friend.
