Yes supporting Obama is spitting on our troops. Hating our country is not conservative!

Another so called conservative who hates the troops. Anyone that voted for Obama or stayed home on the 4th hates our troops.

Oh my, a new form of illogical argumentation.

"If you didn't vote for McCain (since obviously, anyone not voting for McCain voted for Obama, since there were two and only two choices), you spat on our troops."

You do realize that you're spouting such nonsense in a conservative Web forum, right? And you do realize that McCain is not a conservative but a closeted liberal Democrat and a willing enabler of Socialists, right?

What if you are one of “the troops” and you voted for Obama or 3rd party or not at all?

Who are you talking about lady? I'm going to assume you're talking about me. I voted for Palin. McCain happened to be on the ballot, and it was an unavoidable consequence that I had to vote for him in the process.

I happen to be a 13 yr veteran of the USAF and suffered through the entire reign of William J. Clinton, and take great offense at your unqualified and repugnant remark about me being a troop hater.

McCain was a turd who wouldn't flush from the start. The GOP ignored every candidate who actually shared our philosophies and instead propped up the RINOs. Needless to say, it didn't work very well. If not for Palin, McCain would have lost catastrophically, instead of the solid margin which he did. The GOP certainly never would have included her.

As for you and your unfounded comments, go find a web forum that actually supports the GOP where you can be happy. Somehow it seems that you're under the impression that we support it here.

I've gone through your postings and come to a conclusion -

ZOT!

I thought idiots like this had disappeared. I guess there are a few stragglers. Ah well...we’ll do what we’ve always done. :-)

Okay so you didn’t vote for Obama. Anyone that voted for him or a third party or didn’t vote because wah wah wah wah mccain isn’t conservative enough and therefore supporting marxism and terrorism is not a conservative.

Well then you aren’t a conservative. Supporting a marxist and voting for anyone but McCain was supporting Obama is not being a conservative.

I have less respect for the so called conservatives who voted for communism than people who voted for Obama because of hope and change.

A vote for a third party or a no vote just because wah wah wah wah wah McCain wasn’t conservative enough is support of Marxism and since when is supporting a Marxist conservative?

And most of all since when is taking a dump on Reagan’s grave being a conservative (reagan alwas taught support the party fight it out in the primaries)

He was the turd in Bush’s punchbowl for 8 years. He might as well join his soulmates Kennedy and Lieberman in support of the Dalaibama.

McCain supported the Socialist bailout bill.

That means he's not a conservative.

Conservative enough? Hell, McCain't isn't a conservative...PERIOD.

People like you would have voted for Obama if he had a R after his name.

And most of all since when is taking a dump on Reagan’s grave being a conservative (reagan alwas taught support the party fight it out in the primaries)

"Taking a dump on Reagan's grave"...what the hell?

You have an overly vivid and rather perverted imagination.

There are several choices. I chose to stand up and fight for what I believe in—freedom and liberty—despite the cost. You, on the other hand, placed your Party ahead of both your State, your country, and your beliefs.

Right now, all you're looking like is a tool for the RINOs, who themselves are tools for the Marxists in the Democratic Party and elsewhere.

Let’s dispel some myths here shall we:

Firstly I said nothing of who I voted for. I merely asked if someone was one of the troops, how is it possible that, even if they voted for Obama, they “hate the troops”? What do you base that on? While I disagree with they’re decision, I would never make the accusation that they hate the troops. I know a fellow cadet who has family going back generations up to the present in every branch of the military who voted for Obama. Does he “hate the troops”? I think not.

Secondly, McCain is hardly a good example of a conservative. In fact he’s not a conservative, except perhaps on foreign policy. He talks the talk, but he certainly doesn’t walk the walk.

Thirdly, as for my voting; I didn’t. Or rather I couldn’t. My registration got messed up. If I had been able to vote, I would’ve voted 3rd party. No I don’t have any qualms about this a) because I don’t believe voting for the lesser of 2 evils has gotten conservatism anywhere lately and b) I live in California so it wouldn’t have mattered.

The bitch has her knickers in a knot over the whole issue. There’s nothing we can do for her. Ignore her and she’ll go away....eventually.

Dude...I think Jim Rob and the admin mods need to perform a huge “purge” of FR. I think it will be way over due by the time they do it. There are simply too many closet leftists and just malicious people here any more.

You don’t mind Marxism. I do.

If you minded it that much, you'd move to a red state. Or are you secretly happy in the socialist utopia that's been established in Illinois? I think you are because you're simply too antagonistic toward real conservatives to actually be a conservative. You've got that whiny, bitchy edge that's the hallmark of leftists whenever they speak or write. You're not hiding it very well.

It's O.K. Try not to let it bother you. John McCain didn't hide it very well either. :-)

Here's another for you. :-)

...a snippet from the post states -

"I have met Senator Obama and he is a good man. Would make a terrible President but he’s a good man. Michelle is more of a bad word than Hillary ever is."

You KNOW what this means don't you?! :-)
