Sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good.

Amen.

Vote for John McCain and save the country from the socialist and defeatist Obama.

Now go and do something constructive.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Worrying about specific candidates is like treating a pimple when the patient is dying of septicemia.

( Are you listening, Rush?)

First:

Call the enemy what it is: MARXISM! COMMUNISM! We should immediately stop using the words liberal, socialist, progressive, etc. These are merely Orwellian smokescreens to confuse conservatives as to the true nature of the enemy.

( Are you listening, Rush?)

2)Schools are the Marxists/Communists’ **most** important weapon!

The Marxists/Communists gained control of the media, the arts, all government bureaucracies through their indoctrination of youth in our colleges and universities. This is where it begins! Conservatives should do the same!

( Are you listening, Rush?)

Raise the money needed to establish departments of conservative studies on our universties.

Establish private voucher foundations to provide private vouchers to children attending **conservative** private schools. The voucher foundations could certify the teachers and curriculum and test the students. They should focus first on the “bluest” cities and states.

(Rush? Do you “get it”?)

Conservatives should work to shut down government K-12 education.

(Rush,...This is **REALLY** important!)

Conservative alumni must organize and work together to pressure their colleges and universities to teach free market and conservative prinicples. No youth should graduate from college without having thoroughly read and studied “Atals Shrugged”.

By comparison, we are living in a time of domestic peace and prosperity --- but we are under constant, minute-by-minute propaganda assault by the Left-wing media. Marxists and Communists!

There fixed that! I wish our Talking Pumpkin Heads, Rush, Hannity, and OReilly, would fix that too, and start using the "M" word and "C" word.

Vote for John McCain and save the country from the socialist and defeatist Obama.

So McCain calling for green mandates isn't socialist?

McCain calling for the abolition of 527s is not an assault on the First Amendment?

McCain calling for renewed amnesty for illegals is not an assault on America.

Then we have McCain calling for closing GITMO and moving detainees to Ft. Leavenworth, thus, using the back door to give them de facto habeas corpus rights.



How about the quote from McCain himself proudly announcing that he voted to confirm Ginsberg and Breyer.

And the list goes on.

Norm Coleman I'm supporting as I don't really have a choice there. He isn't that bad, although he let's his former Democrat self out of the bag at bad moments.

McCain is a turd. I cannot vote for him. Period. Barr gets my vote.

If you want to save the Country from Socialists, don't vote McCain. Vote Barr.

Give a real conservative a chance.

“Call the enemy what it is: MARXISM! COMMUNISM!”

Made this exact point last week. This election involves the biggest commie push I’ve ever witnessed. Like him or not, Tom Delay publicly called Obama a marxist with very little media coverage. That’s the kind of balls to the wall truthfulness required to awaken the American public.

I say throw the rocks of truth and let the dogs on the left yelp.

I am voting for McCain, but I think the fix is in this year. McCain, instead of moving to shore up the base, is trying to out-liberal Obama. Aside from the WOT, they have essentially the same platform. MCain has to be trying to lose intentionally.

Barr is not going to win. Votes for Barr are votes for Obama. You can hide your head in the sand all you want and debate your point until you are blue in the face. You cannot get enough people to vote Barr. Until a third party is a real, viable option, voting for Barr will be another Perot in 1992. Clinton was bad for this country, Obama will destroy it. There will be nothing left to pick up in 2012. I am sorry.

I care about the Republic. McCain is not my choice and he is not the best but he changed his mind this week on letting states decide to drill or not.

We can pressure him on other matters too. With Obama the country is lost.

My sentiment exactly. I believe we at least have a chance to change McCain's mind on some issues. With a marxist like Obummer, there is no chance of him deviating from the party line. It will be a marxist takeover of the USA and if the predictions can be believed, he will have a veto proof congress. Truly frightening.

No. A vote for Barr is a vote for Barr. Barr is not going to win because spineless "conservatives" will sell out their principles to vote for Democrat-lite McCain. If enough conservatives vote for a REAL conservative, Barr wins in a landslide.

Obama will destroy us quickly. McCain will destroy us as well, it'll just take him an extra year or two.

Choose your poison. I'm choosing the cup sans poison.

And what "quote" is that? Provide a link?

McCain voted to confirm both. Ginsberg was confirmed 96-3, and Breyer 87-9. Solid conservative Senators voted to confirm them both, because of the conservative principle of executive power.

I'm sorry, but you obviously have little knowledge of the actual platforms of the two candidates. You should visit the two campaign web sites and actually read their platforms.

Here are a few areas of disagreement:

  1. Extending Bush Tax Cuts
  2. Surrender in Iraq
  3. Court ruling on Habeus Corpus
  4. Offshore Oil Drilling
  5. Gay Marriage
  6. Gun Rights
  7. Abortion
  8. Nationalized Health Care
  9. Free Trade
  10. Legislative Earmarks
  11. Monitoring Terrorist Communication
  12. Support for the Military
  13. Judicial appointments
  14. State's Rights

There are others. McCain is wrong on more items than Bush was, but he is still right about a majority of the issues, and vastly more right than Obama on a host of important issues.

If I was going to vote for a true conservative, I would NEVER vote for Barr. Barr is no conservative.
