Another “you better support McCain or else!” thread.
McCain talks tough now, but if he wins, how long do you think it will be before he is putting his signature on some Osama/Hitlery/Reed sponsored legislation? Or nominating a Kennedy/Shummur selected judge?
Now wait a second here. I thought all Paul supporters were anti-war, skinhead, 9/11 Truther kooks? If this is so, then why is Hatch pandering to us then?

I hear you, and am not a blind JSM cheerleader! It’s just that there is SO much that is VASTLY more dangerous about Obama and his agenda for this country. And if you realize the deeply serious threats to our security that would make all other issues disappear, on this there is NO contest between the two choices. Foreign policy/the threat of radical Islam MUST be top priority, and JSM is the only choice on this.
[Sen. Orrin] Hatch to Paul backers: Support John McCain”
I always thought that Mormons were opposed to prostitution.
Orin “Dream Act” Hatch, serving since 1977.
One of the corrupt lifers. But I’m sure you knew that.
“Regardless, McCain’s dad died at age 71, his grandfather at 62.”
Just pick a conservative VP Juanito, that’s all I ask.
Awwww, ain’t they just the cutest little things though?
Well, the same thing happened in Louisiana too. The other GOP candidates forged their own ticket together to dilute Paul's impending victory in that state. I don't remember Hatch speaking out against that.
I knew this was coming, and although I'll probably hold my nose for McCain depending on who he picks for VP, I am also at the same time going to savor the fact that the GOP is going to start getting on its hands and knees for the Paul supporters. I remember reading stories of local GOP offices kicking out the Paul supporters or mocking them when they tried to register as Republicans. Payback is a female dog, Republicans. If thousands of Paul supporters stay home or write in Paul's name or vote for Barr, don't start whining to me.
“And it’s a whole lot better than Obambi.”
I see it as only slightly better however if Juan picks a good VP, I’ll vote for him.
Nice picture. See, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. All you’re doing is creating unintended consequences. You think those who support Paul are going to march in lockstep to the GOP after watching their candidate get smeared?
I don't think McCain feels comfortable accepting votes from a candidate that received his original campaign money from Timothy Leary Fundraisers
Libertarian Party sounds nice until the drug dealers show up.
Mr. Speaker, William F. Buckley has often been described as the godfather of modern-day conservatism. In 2004, he wrote that if he had known in 2002 what he now knew, that he would have opposed the war in Iraq. Last June, he wrote that if we stayed much longer there, it would soon become misapplication of pride rather than steadfastness of purpose. Now, in one of his most recent columns, Mr. Buckley wrote that, ``One can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed.
`` Many conservatives said before this war started that it would mean massive foreign aid, huge deficit spending, and would place almost the entire burden of enforcing U.N. resolutions on our taxpayers and our military, when traditionally conservatives have been the biggest critics of the U.N.
`` The so-called neo-con architects of this unnecessary war have led people down a primrose path in the opposite direction of and very much against every traditional conservative position.
``
I would of thought that William F. Buckley would try and reserve any negative thoughts about the Iraq war and not help the Marxist socialist left in our country continue being cheerleaders for failure.
I wonder what Mr. Buckley would think about the Surge having tremendous success now?
Of all of Paul’s supporters, I’d say - unscientifically -about 40% were Conservatives and the rest Liberals and Moonbats...
I think McCain will eventually get 70-80% of the conservatives that supported Paul, who realize that living with McCain is far better than an Obama administration. But McCain will get next to none of the Liberals...
So Senator Hatch is basically preaching to the choir.
Why would you think he keeps getting reelected? His district is loaded with military units mostly reservesand National Guards whom most of them have been to Iraq at least twice or headed that way. He has one of the most secure congressional seats in the nation. His mane is John J Duncan.
Being a conservative doesn't mean being a straight party line supporter or else. It means taking sometime tough and unpopular stands against the abuses of their own party. A trait hard to find in DC these days. It sickens me that so called Conservative media host have attacked ones such as Ron Paul. They attack Ron Paul but like one of them who claims Conservative beliefs supported Rudy? Being Conservative does not make a person a Conservative and vice versa. Walking the walk when they talk the talk however does. Not many left in DC these days who will do that.
Hatch is posturing for USSC Justice. McCain is dumb enough to put him there.
Correction: Being Conservative does not make a person a Republican and vice versa.
With Obama, the probability is 100%. With McCain, I would say that the probability is at least 50% he will appoint SCOTUS Justices that are to the right of Ginsburg. The impact depend on which SCOTUS Justice that will resign. So, I take McCain over Obama.
