I opposed McCain as the GOP nominee and even considered voting third party, but after seeing the harm Obambi could do to our nation, I'm now voting McCain. Even if I wasn't, I wouldn't vote for Obambi and I wouldn't spend all my time bashing McCain's ticket. I stopped bashing McCain when the primary season was over. I've complained about him and criticized a lot of things he's done, but I haven't piously announced that he's beyond the pale and endorsed the baby killing, terrorist coddling, tax raising, gun grabbing, metrosexual, Marxist, corrupt, Jihad sympathizing, Neville Chamberlain clone. I certainly didn't pile on against Sarah Palin, after she was treated with unmerciful cruelty by the media, and subjected to “gotcha” interviews that were heavily edited by leftist news sources. Your disgusting piling on when she was being flayed by people not good enough to shine her hunting rifle was one of the most sickening examples of courting the media's favor in recent memory.
There's only one way for a Republican to get positive press, and that's to attack fellow party members and work with the ‘Rats. McCain did that for years, and he found that once he was nominated and running against a hardcore leftist, the media turned on him with a vengeance. They'll turn on you, too, Kathy, unless you make the full transition to leftism, which wouldn't surprise me at this point.
Exactly. What is it that these columnists don't understand? A lot of conservatives don't like McCain but that doesn't mean you bash the ticket and support Obama!!! It defies common sense.
If you have conservative principles and believe in limited government, how could you vote for Obama?? But ah, there's the rub. These people don't have principles. The fact that Obama is going to jack up taxes so that pretty much everyone is paying 40% to 60% in tax, or enact a massive expansion of entitlements doesn't phase them. Its all a big game to them--especially a dilettante like Buckley who never had to earn a dime in his life and never had to prove himself in the work world.
I have had huge reservations about George "Lyndon Baines" Bush for years. It depresses me that people call him a conservative. He spent and expanded entitlements like a drunken sailor. But I supported him and voted for him because his philosophy was closer to mine that Gore or Kerry. And I agreed with him on a lot--especially the War on Terror and Iraq. I didn't say "Bush is a domestic liberal so I'm voting for Kerry." It defies common sense.
