"Let me see if I’ve got this straight.

"The fate of Western Civilization is in the balance, and the very best person the republicans could find was McCain???"

My thoughts exactly! The GOP forces this moron down our throats, then we are told that the entire fate of civilization depends on us to agree with them. What a bunch of lunatics!

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."

- Barack Obama -

This is what we should be telling people about. Does no one get it?

After traipsing up and down the eastern seaboard, the southwest, north and northwest, Juanito's crack polling team has finally found out the real truth -- he cannot win without the support of his former conservative base.

Hey, Juanito! Think about that next time you get the urge to run off and pander to La Raza, secret Hispanic voter groups, and all the other liberally oriented voters you've been kissing...

The GOP didn’t force McCain down our throats. Conservatives didn’t line up behind any one candidate but, instead, divided their votes between Huckabee, Romney, Thompson and Paul. How can that be McCain’s or the GOP’s fault? Divide and conquer, it works every time and it’s happening again now that McCain is the nominee.

“The GOP forces this moron down our throats, then we are told that the entire fate of civilization depends on us to agree with them. What a bunch of lunatics! “

I like the way you put that.

Here’s a joke:

John McCain is walking along the desert on his ranch in Arizona with a metal detector. Suddenly the detector erupts in chirps and beeps. McCain throws aside the detector and frantically digs at the sand. Within a few seconds he discovers a genie bottle and rubs the side. A puff of smoke appears and a genie hovers over a transfixed McCain.

The genie says “I’ve have been locked in that lamp for a 1000 years. Because you have freed me, I grant you three wishes. Anything you want. Now, what is your first wish?”

So McCain scratches his head and says, “I know, I want to have open borders so Mexicans can come across to America easier.” “Granted”, says the genie. “And the second?”

McCain breathlessly says, “I want to replace the image of Thomas Jefferson on the nickel with my hero, Hillary Clinton.” “Done”, the genie says, “Now the last?”

McCain says, “Who are you again?”

The GOP isn't forcing anyone down our throats. This was an unusual primary year, in that there was no incumbent, or sitting VP, running for President for the Republicans. The primary was wide open, and, as a result, we got lots of candidates. Some were good candidates, some not so good. Some were more conservative than others, and the four more conservative candidates split the votes of the conservative base of the party. That left the moderate Repubs, some Independents, and a few Democrats who crossed over, to vote for McCain. We can complain about his being the candidate all we want, but he received the plurality of the Republican Primary votes, and as result will be our candidate.

He wasn't my guy, I was a Fredhead, but I WILL vote for McCain, because the War on Terror, and the person who will choose the next two or three Justices on the Supremes are extremely important issues for me, and I do not want a Democrat making decisions on either of them. If we want to curb McCain's more liberal tendencies, we need to make sure to get more Conservatives in Congress. He can't do anything about Immigration or any other matter, unless he gets the votes in Congress; doesn't matter how he feels personally about the issues.
