Democrats and Republicans: The two legs of the socialist beast.

Exactly.

Thank-you, Mr. Irrelevant.

Insanity is abandoning the most conservative, viable, alternatives in a series of elections, then bitching about the disaster which ensues.

[DManA]

I held my nose and voted for McCain. Still it’s my fault he lost.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

"Shut up and go away! McCain was a wimp during the whole time and now he has something to say about the spending bills!"

Wow...such vitriol! Are you sure you meant for ME to be the recipient of your vitriolic sting? My question is quite harmless if you care to go back and look...

So what if Obama was the "most conservative" and "viable" candidate in an election? Would you vote for him?

You have no standards, Cedric. It's because of relativistic beliefs like yours that the Republican Party has allowed the leftists to drag it further and further leftward, into the abyss of Big Government, where it has been thoroughly gutted and disemboweled.

[Cedric]

Then, you are not among those who I am addressing in this discussion and I apologize for unfairly besmirching you.

Duh.

Quit spinnin', rabs. You wanted this poopy sandwich....

[rabscuttle385]

You wanted this poopy sandwich....

No, Cedric, what I wanted was steak instead of RINO poo.

What I wanted was for the Republican Party to stop serving up sh*t and telling me to eat it with my bare hands.

Do you know what happens when you piss off your customer like that? The customer picks up the plate of poo and shoves it in your face. And...that's exactly what I did.

Same here. Maybe we get our own list. LOL

“I held my nose and voted for McCain. Still it’s my fault he lost.”

No, it’s NOT!

The reason McCain lost is because he has all the charisma of a rock, and even SO he might have won if he hadn’t muzzled Palin, said there was “nothing to fear” about Obama being in office and generally acted like an idiot with half his marbles missing.

The reason McCain lost is because he’s McCAIN.

I wish he had resigned his Senate seat to run for office - at least then we could have had the consolation of never having to hear from him again.

If we purist had our way, we wouldn't have the wannabes in there just nibbling, we'd be running the show with some real conservatives.

The fact that we have wannabes in there "nibbling" is what we were against in the first place.

[madinmadtown]

I am happy that McCain at least had the opportunity to go on television and give a reasonable response to this boondoggle. It may not be exactly what everyone on this site wants, but it is a moderately conservative view point....too much spending and not enough tax cuts. We don't get much air time on these programs and at least this was an opportunity to explain why this porkalooza bill should be flamed, not each other.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He doesn’t know.

[Right Brother]

[DManA]

He failed utterly in his (idiotic) strategy of courting “moderates”. That is the insanity party elites keep repeating.

[cripplecreek]

If he resigned his senate seat he would have become a lobbyist and ended up getting appointed to something by Zero.

[Las Vegas Ron]

No, Cedric, what I wanted was steak instead of RINO poo.

Well put, there has to be a country western song in there somewhere :0)

That'd be nice.

But, conservatives gotta start winning more elections.
