I have been in sackloth and ashes ever since the end of the Republican primary season dwelling on the mess we find ourselves in. Conservatives have watched the Republican nomination process get hijacked from them while they were debating whether our candidate should be socially conservative (Huckabee) vs economically conservative (Romney). Now we have McCain, who has historically proven to be mediocre at best on both sets of issues. His only strength was his view on the Iraq war.
Now that we appear to have turned the corner in Iraq, the whole withdrawal argument may be moot. If things continue this way, McCain will be reducing troop levels and bringing the home if elected president. So what is his candidacy about? If the Iraq war is basically won before the election, what is it that will define his candidacy?
Here's another question - who is McCain's base? Who will work the phones? Who will go door to door during the 72 hour GOTV? Who will organize and fund the 527 groups that can take shots at Obama that he can't (or won't) take himself, ala the Swiftboat Vets? More simply asked - who is passionate about McCain's candidacy?
The answer, to me is, nobody. Sure, a lot of us conservatives and disaffected union democrats will vote for McCain as the lesser of 2 evils, but who will "turn out" the voters? Who will sacrifice time from work and money from their budgets to see that he gets elected?
If I am right, I think that President Barack Hussein Obama will be in office come January, killing our way of life with an overwhelming Democrat Congress. Does anyone have a better answer?
“Neither will I help McCain get elected.”
But in post #251 you say you will consider it. So we see that the intensity of your inclination to reply to my argument is not matched by strength or consistency in your opinion. This points to either confusion or deceitfulness.
Obama is a follower of Saul Alinsky. McCain opposes the Alinsky agenda.
Obama is supported by both foreign and domestic terrorists. McCain would have them killed.
You know, that's so true. The crooked, greedy RNC, politicians and corporations put McCain out as their man, knowing how he sold the taxpayers out to illegals, and thinking he would get a big Hispanic vote and wrap up the election. Then along comes a minority candidate, and oops, there goes their big plans.
No, I said I would consider voting for him.
When I said I wouldn't help him get elected I meant I will not campaign for him.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
See my tag line.
I’m done with this ancient thread. Stop bothering me.
uh, count the times I bothered you? Or was it you who bothered me, you freaking idiot.
Rudeness does not become you. I believe you do not really care who votes for McCain, I believe you just enjoy being ass like.
I predict things are gonna get a lot uglier between now and November.
Desperation is not pretty. ;-)
Good Lord it is ugly tonight. This place is sure no longer conservative. It is weird.
I think Hillary may be on her way back. Things are not going to well for ole Barry.
Just as surely as Arnold.
Take a look at the old California Recall threads. You ain’t seen nuttin’ yet!
The Toomey/Specter threads got pretty ugly, too.
The anything-with-an-R crowd gets pretty hyperbolic when the sheep won’t be herded. ;-)
Deja vu! Schwarzeneggerianism lives!
You ladies are unfairly fighting a battle of the minds with an unarmed man!!
Where the heck you been when we needed you? We have been sorely abused? LOL
Juan's gonads are being squeezed by propaganda emanating from south of the border----Third World hellholes just lying in wait to corrupt US justice and undermine US national security.
Third Worlders throw out huge "vote" numbers (which are illegal illiterate peasants organized into hyphenated voting blocs with fraudulent credentials).
Vote-crazed politicans are mesmerized by these numbers---oblivious to escalating problems with maintaining US national defense and our national integrity.
Brutal Columbia-style terror and drugs will proliferate on US soil--aided and abetted by Third World governments with a foothold in US politics.
McCain will suckup for illegal latino votes........like a dry drunk with his mouth pressed to a beer keg.
Look for McC's October Surprise---- a signing ceremony to turnover the SW as a token of his total allegiance to Mexico. McC might order US L/E to escort drug cartels crossing the border to vote. Columbian Drug cartels will commandeer another bunch at gunpoint, carting truckloads of drug-pushers over the border to vote illegally.
Those are the votes McC wants---AKA his base.
================================================
Last month, McCain and Obama pledged to priortize overrhauling the country's immigration in appearances before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference. McCain assured the audience that he wouldn't pursue the enforcement-only approach sought by hard-line GOP conservatives, while Obama accused McCain of walking away from comprehensive immigration reform.
Both McCain and Obama support a temporary worker program and eventual path to citizenship for 30-50 millions illiterate immigrants in the country illegally.
After a comprehensive amnesty Senate bill failed twice last summer amid coast-to-coast public outcry, McCain has belatedly added that the borders must be secure first before people will accept reforms (gag).
No matter----Juan is prostrating himself before illegals. He's gonna amnesty 25% of Mexico. Reconquista is not too far away.
