These Clinton donors have contributed at least $200,000 to McCain's campaign in the last few months, an amount which doesn't include larger contributions to the Republican joint fundraising committees.

Ah, I know this is a good thing in the short term, but I wholly fear what this could only mean in a McCain administration...

I keep repeating to myself, “I am not voting for McCain, I am voting against Obama.”

There you go. LOL It's great that a black man finally got to such an honorable position, but I just wish he hadn't been the worst black man there could possible be. He is not qualified. He is a laughing joke!

While they’re throwing the money his way, hopefully it’s votes and volunteering too.

Trump said Obama would kill the economy.

It comes down to this for me:

Would I rather be shot in the leg with a .22 or in the chest with a .45?

Neither is an appealing prospect, but it’s a simple choice to make.

And perhaps the long term as well. Maybe these Clinton supporters will discover their “inner conservative” (it happens.)

See there, a man who knows the real score. That's taking it right down to the brass tacks my FRiend.
