Whatever.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

He’s gotten 100% ratings from the NRA in the past. No longer?

Well, I guess it’s Obama for me, then. ;)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“If McCain loses, it will be because his campaign strategy is beyond stupid, not because 10% or so out of a few hundred thousand Freeper voters spread throughout all fifty states made the difference.”

Can’t argue with that. But do what you can for our side, anyway.

I’ll be working the polls and have signed on to work for his campaign here in Wisconsin. If it proves to be fruitless, at least I’ll know that I did all I could and wasn’t just a “keyboard cowboy” about it. :)

And you’ll be helping how?

[no dems]

So, he should go in front of NAMBLA at their national convention as their main speaker, too?

If you wouldn't make statements like that, people wouldn't know just how ignorant you really are. BTW, I didn't know that NAMBLA had a National Convention; I don't visit their website. How did you know?

“And you’ll be helping how?”

I’ll be giving McCain all the help he deserves.

[Dead Corpse]

He's never gotten higher than a C- from the GOA and only F's the last few years. Even from the NRA.

So yeah, McCain was a "RINO" and has only gotten more LIBERAL in the intervening years.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I know, but he’s OUR RINO. We obviously didn’t fight hard enough for the other candidates.

After we win the White House and take back the Senate, I’ll start the REAL Revolution. :)

(I know; I’m dreamin’, but I can’t HELP being the Pollyanna that I am.)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, that’s your choice. But don’t denigrate mine, then.

See you in November. :)

[Dead Corpse]

He’s YOUR “rino”. I’m voting for a conservative. Ask yourself why you aren’t....

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Because it’s useless this time around.

Truly, just vote your conscience. I know I won’t change your mind. You won’t change mine, either. :)

See you in November. I can’t live with myself if I help put Obana in office.

[ConservativeMind]

You stoop to name calling when you don’t have an argument, it appears.

What’s wrong with McCain “having the guts to go before” NAMBLA, I again ask? It fits perfectly with your philosophy.

[Linden1209]

Johm,
Did you give the clenched-fist salute and yell “Viva La Reconquista” with the rest of “The Race”? Next campaign stop -Communist Party Hq.

[no dems]

It does not fit perfectly well with my philosophy. NAMBLA is not a legitimately, recognized, Social Service Organization. It is a clandestine organization of criminal pedophiles and demented sick-os.

[LadyNavyVet]

“But don’t denigrate mine, then.”

You will not find any post in my history where I’ve denigrated those who are making a different decision than I, nor will you find any post where I had the arrogance to tell any Freeper what to do about this election or any other. You’re the one issuing directives and mistaking me for someone over whom you have influence. Meanwhile I am using facts, not emotion, to make my point, which is that while it may make an immature adult feel momentarily better to vent at those who’ve made a different choice, in the same way that some give the finger to a driver who’s cut them off, it is ultimately an exercise in childish emotional indulgence and nothing more. It will not, in any way whatsoever, change the outcome of the election.

And no, if McCain loses, you won’t see me around here for awhile in November. My ego has no deep-seated need to get ugly with other people over the outcome of an election, nor do I plan to be anyone’s punching bag because they are not reasonable enough to grasp that McCain’s loss was due to McCain, not the vote of one housewife in Florida.
