Moderate GOP Got the Campaign They Wanted and They Don't Like It

WTF are you talking about?

I was just stating that in this election there is definitely one reason to vote. The men and women serving in two wars deserve someone better than the Zero as their CIC.

The office of the POTUS is between McCain and 0bama period. One will win. McCain is far from perfect but he would be a decent Commander in Chief unlike the traitorous commie bastard on the D ticket.

Amen. I listened to Rush today and thought it was a terrible show. Liked the part about Obama’s tax plan, but couldn't understand why when we started getting some good news this weekend for a change, Rush was all about the gloom and doom.

"Even those of us who didn’t sew the socialist nanny state are going to reap the ‘benefits’."

That's true, except that we have more honest perceptions on what is ahead of us and can individually prepare our families. If working men like me are not allowed to vote, we will probably have Democrat presidents and other elected officials for a long time.

I refuse to give any respect to empty rhetoric, hysteria, celebrity insanity or name-calling. I'm analytical. My concerns for the USA are religious freedom, family, defense, allies (yes, especially Israel), morale (hire the men you want to defend you in advance, before a high-intensity world war happens), loyalty (support US production), real family rights (for real families, including families of widows and widowers),...G-d, family and country, in that order.

The Republican Party is so full of Hillary-supporting wives and their sugar daddies run wild (see crossover vote craze a few months ago), the Party doesn't even want my vote for the foreign-commie-business candidates of their choice. See the responses.

Absolutely correct. Should this election go down the way it appears to be going presently, the GOP will have no one but themselves to blame for placing McCain at the top of the ticket. His nomination by the political party that, in recent history, used to be the polar opposite of the liberal Democrats only served to be proof positive to most of the Constitutional Conservatives left in the country, that the two political parties only have an agenda for their own self interests (the party bosses and elected/appointed officials).

Democans/Republicats - a pox on both their Party's!

Early on - back when it took a whole bus to get the nominees to the debate - I decided who I would vote for. I did it by deciding who I would not vote for and seeing who was left standing. There was no way I would ever vote for Guliani or Romney or McCain and most of the others were relegated to the “Maybe” column until they - one by one - dropped out. The only one I truly had any confidence in was Ron Paul and then he dropped out too.

Finally, a miracle happened: McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. Here was a chance, albeit a slim one, for a true conservative to make it to the White House. I have decided to once again hold my nose as I vote. This time though I hope my vote and that of a few million others sweeps McCain into the oval office for a few weeks, whereupon he succumbs to old age and Sarah takes over. I am - in effect - voting for Sarah Palin... and America!

We should stand up and say “Nominate a RINO and we’re going somewhere else.”

There are a few of us here that have been saying this for months. We are not real popular around here. Apparently we are irrelevant whiners, losers or worse.

There are so many here that exclaim that the republican leaders need to 'grow a spine' or 'grow a set of brass ones'. Well, as long as the voters have no spine or ba!!s, there is no need for our leaders to grow them either.

We are not going to get better results until we demand better. This continuous cycle of choosing the lesser of two evils and hoping for better down the road is exactly what got us to where we are today.

[lt.america]

The McCain haters at it again (doing it for the good of the country no doubt). Same cast of characters; same old comments.

[pissant]

Give Larry the Mic!!!!

Sorry but Limbaugh blew it.

He stayed neutral during the primaries only did he late start pushing for either Romkney or Fred. Well Fred never had a shot. Limbaugh should have been pushing for Romney from the start. If he did that maybe we wouldnt have been stuck with McCain. Laura, Sean, and Rush got on the Romney train way too late and that is why we got McCain.

There's an old 60’s song by the Crystal.

Here are some lyrics:

He doesn't look like a movie star
He doesn't drive a Cadillac car
He sure ain't the boy I've been dreaming of but
He's sure the boy I love

McCain ain't the nominee I was dreamin’ of but I sure love him compared to Obama.

I hope Palin will lead we conservatives out of the wilderness.

But for right now John McCain is “sure the boy I love”!

“Nominate a RINO and we’re going somewhere else.”

Several notable people have advocated that very thing. But, few have been able to maintain that attitude. Obama is so abominable that people have chosen to vote for McPain(in-the-a$$) no matter how long his long list of sins against conservatives.

My personal jury is still out. I do not know if I can pull the trigger for that SOB. When he needs to make a conservative stand, he poops out and tries to out progress the progressives.

[pissant]

I have a similar take as yours. Except mine is that they should all have been on the Hunter bandwagon from the second he announced.

[ImpBill]

Right On! And most around here seem to have forgotten how McQueeg not only trashed the SBV he went out of his way to prop up the "traitor Kerry" every chance he got.

I am still steaming over that part of McCain's sorry career in politics!

[FastCoyote]

Rush is the only thing standing between us and the abyss (Hannity too). Without those two, we’d be SOL.

[bpjam]

The ‘moderates’ will have gotten the candidate they wanted and gotten to run the campaign they wanted. And when we lose, we’ll tell them that they need to get to the back of the bus while we take Congress back and in 2012 we’ll be running a real tax-cutting, smaller government, anti-global warming, pro-growth Conservative and they will need to bite their lip and vote the way we’ve been forced to do this time.

And if they don’t like it then those ‘moderates’ are going to have to change parties and we’ll take some more conservative democrats who are going to be incredibly disaffected by what is going to be happening in the next 12-24 months with Obama-Pelosi-Reid in charge. It might make Clinton-Foley-Mitchell look like the heights of bi-partisanship.

My personal jury is still out. I do not know if I can pull the trigger for that SOB.

Living in a blue state does have that advantage. Besides I have a good strong conservative congressman to vote for.

"WTF are you talking about?"

You had written:
"Men and women in Service deserve a Commander in Chief not a clueless military moron who is a marxist at heart!"

Let's see. Obama was not in the military as far as I know, so he wouldn't be "military" in any sense. And you also wrote that McCain "would be a decent Commander in Chief." So who were you referring to as a "military moron?"

"I was just stating that in this election there is definitely one reason to vote. The men and women serving in two wars deserve someone better than the Zero as their CIC.

The office of the POTUS is between McCain and 0bama period. One will win. McCain is far from perfect but he would be a decent Commander in Chief unlike the traitorous commie bastard on the D ticket."

But at least some clerks are refusing to register men like me to vote, and that was the crux of my first comment in this thread.

[David Isaac]

It is great to see you still leading the way for people of conscience (the real conscience, that is). Hunter still was, by far, the best choice.

[cripplecreek]

The only problem is that the “moderates” are like liberals in the fact that they refuse to accept blame for their failures.

[Carley]

Be nice if all the purists spent their venom on Obama and his cronies rather than attacking McCain.

The point is nothing more than hoping to be able to say, I told you so. If god forbid, we get an O presidency.

I don’t get it.

We have a choice and if they don’t see that, then they are to be pitied.
