If Obama is elected Nov 4, it will never be normal again. We may be shut down, sued or intimidated out of existence, marked as “hate mongers”and dealt with accordingly.
I truly believe the fate of our republic may rest in this election,,I never thought that before.
John McCain is our last best hope here.
“We’re spoiled, and we sit here at our keyboards and bellyache about the imperfections of our leaders. We have faced nothing like those who came before us, including John McCain. I’m sure what he went through has left scars that affect his personality. The closest most of us have gotten to the danger of the enemy of the US was on Sept. 11, 2001.”
Yes, a lot of us are spoiled relatively speaking. True, John McCain served our country honorably and sacrificed more than I can even imagine. He does however, live a very different life now and has for a very long time. He does not have to use the same hospitals we do that are so crowded with illegals that it is a detriment to our health when we are sick or injured. He didn’t have to send his kids to overcrowded, gang infested public schools. He doesn’t have to worry about not having a pension or retirement account, paying off his mortgage, or how he’ll help his kids through college.
He’s been part of the Ivory towers crowd for a long time and I assume that most of us here are not. I’ll continue to send money but it will continue to be to those organizations fighting for conservative causes as well as to victims such as Ramos and Compean. I can’t send one dime to McCain in good conscience while those two men sit in prison for doing the job our govt refuses to.
I've been over to the PUMA website several times in the last few weeks and I for one would be proud to lock arms and go forward together to defeat the most dire threat our nation has faced in 70 years. If we as a whole can't recognize our common enemy, then we will lose our precious America to the Marxist/Socialists radical left.
History is full of examples of foes that come together to fight a greater threat. This is another one of those times when we must do that. Obama, and the forces behind him are truly a threat to our Liberty, Freedom and America.
The below is an example of the wannabe Fuhrer's youth movement. We should all be very afraid.

You jest. There is nothing conservative about those that are willing to give up and give their vote to Obama when they know full well the destruction to our freedom, our constitution, our future.
And then come on here and fight to claim they are purists. I don’t think a pure conservative would ever dream of turning their country over to an Obama.
If they would - then what good are they? They give away power. They do not build, they do not fight along with our soldiers.
In fact, they remind me of McCain. You can never count on them when they are needed - because they have to “show” everybody they belong to no one. And, in effect, none will ever depend on them by choice.
The saddest sentence I've ever seen on FR.
“If Obama is elected Nov 4, it will never be normal again. We may be shut down, sued or intimidated out of existence, marked as “hate mongers”and dealt with accordingly.

John McCain is our last best hope here.”
I think that may be a little extreme.
Do you remember a guy named Larry Nichols? Towards the end of the Clinton administration, he would show up on talk radio convinced that Clinton would cancel the elections and stay in office forever.
Pace yourself...
“He does not have to use the same hospitals we do that are so crowded with illegals that it is a detriment to our health when we are sick or injured. He didn’t have to send his kids to overcrowded, gang infested public schools.

He does not consider you “God’s Children” unless you’re here illegally.
That’s how he rolls.
(Now watch, I’ll be attacked for posting the truth. That’s where we are.)
Blame me for McCain’s failure as a real leader, as opposed to the calculating politician he has become all you want. My conscience is clear. I will not follow in willful blindness a liberal in conservative’s clothing. I had been clinging to a few other issues that I care deeply about in order to talk myself into voting for him, but no more. My only plans for the future, other than continuing to enjoy my family and my life, are to try to pay enough attention to the news stories out there that I can donate to the right conservative causes and hopefully have someone I can support in future elections.
“I can’t send one dime to McCain in good conscience...”
You don’t have to.
Don’t let anybody tell you anything different.
It’s still America.
Amen.
That’s a hell of an endorsement of McCain.
Darn tootin’.
This is still America.
The onus is still on the candidate to convince the voter...
...not the other way around.
Welcome, IndPuma! And thank you.
I’m sure everyone here has strong opinions as you’ve expressed, and I’m not here to defend every political wrong that John McCain has done. I want to keep obama out of the most powerful position in the world, and that’s my only goal.
To donate money or not, that’s your decision. But I certainly will, as at this point in time, however noble the cause, they don’t help with efforts to defeat BHO.
Many people are feeling the same way. Obama is going to surprise us all,,we suspect what he is, some know what he is but as president with a willing congress, he will be difficult to stop doing whatever he wants to do.
I am 66 years old and learned to pace myself many years ago. Don’t condescend to me.
It is sad but I think true. We needed a better nominee but didn’t get him.
Hey Chubby, I know your birthday was the other day, 65th or 7th, the newspaper said so, you’d better learn to pace yourself before you patronizingly advise others to do. It’s too late to twist again (like we did last summer)!
At which point this republican ceased being a Republican.
