Sorry, no way in hell would I vote for Slick Willard. EVER. At least Zero has the common courtesy to serve openly as a Democrat Socialist.
“Sorry, no way in hell would I vote for Slick Willard. EVER.”
Ok. I don’t expect anyone to vote for anyone else. Unlike the McCainiacs last year, should Mitt get the nod, I will never attack anyone for refusing to vote for him. I will return fire if attacked for MY choice however.
Lets just hope together that he does NOT get the nomination so it never comes down to it.
I regard him as an enemy agent, he’s already proven himself to be. His nomination will only be proof that the party establishment wants Zero to win again. I won’t have to urge most FReepers to vote against him and for a third party, it’ll be a given. McCain was my last vote in a general for a known RINO, and that only because Sarah was on the ticket. Had Slick Willard bought the nomination, I wouldn’t have voted for that abomination if he reanimated the corpse of Reagan for his running mate.
I understand. I will actually be working for Sara should she enter the primary and I encourage everyone to settle quickly on the most conservative candidate in the race. I fully expect that will be Sara Palin. I hope that we only have two or three candidates enter the race for 2012 because I think that part of the reason McCain got the nod was because the conservative vote was split two or three ways. I’d like to see a conservative(Sara), a liberal(Romney) and someone in the middle of those two maybe a Pawlenty or Huckabee. Given those three, the GOP base ought to be able to decide who we are and what we believe and vote accordingly.
There was no Conservative vote split in ‘08, since there was no Conservative candidate amongst the so-called leaders. They were all RINOs: Huckster, Slick Willard, Captain Strawberries. When Fred dropped out, it was all over for a serious candidate of actual honesty and integrity. At least now I know why Mark Sanford didn’t run.
Because of the concerted efforts to keep his name in circulation, his own efforts to tag a long with the tea party movement, and the warm and fuzzy support by a few in the new media - one blog and one of the less gifted conservative radio hosts comes to mind.
MR can’t win. He would probably trail behind a third party candidate and BHO 2012 would probably win with a plurality.
Anybody that son of a B**** John McCain supports gets NO support from me.
“There was no Conservative vote split in ‘08, since there was no Conservative candidate amongst the so-called leaders. They were all RINOs: Huckster, Slick Willard, Captain Strawberries.”
Really?
“When Fred dropped out”
So there WAS a conservative candidate? I also liked Hunter a lot and that guy from Virginia wasn’t half-bad. We let the fringe media pick who our candidate would be. If we make the same mistake next time, we’ll have Mitt Romney as a candidate.
There was no serious Conservative after the departure of Fred. Hunter was fine, but he was not first-tier and would never get the support required to win. I said he was more Cabinet Secretary material, such as Defense. Which guy from Virginia are you talking about ? George Allen (my early pick for President) never got in.
But I had no say in the matter, by the time the primary got to TN, there was no one to vote for. The first time since I was eligible to vote I didn’t cast a vote in the GOP Presidential primary (and I certainly wasn’t going to vote in the rodent one). Had McCain not chosen Palin as his running mate (indeed, had he chosen Slick Willard or Huckster), I’d have not even bothered to cast a vote in the general.
“Which guy from Virginia are you talking about? George Allen (my early pick for President) never got in.”
Looked it up, looks like it was Jim Gilmore I was thinking of. I liked him in the debates.
Advocating TARP = sabotage.
Gilmore ? He ran for the Senate the same year, was demolished in an embarrassing landslide against Mark Warner for what should’ve been a first-tier candidate. For some reason, he wasn’t well regarded by Virginians.
Any human would be better than Satan too, but there are many humans I wouldn’t want in a position of authority, at any level.
There are plenty of folks out there as disgusting as McCain, when you get right down to it. I’m looking for someone who shares your and my ideals.
Until then, the R.P. can drop dead.
Isn’t that the truth.
I know. Since 1980, with one exception, the GOP has nominated the runner-up from the last contested primary. Bush in 2000 was the exception, but then again his name was Bush. Also, there wasn’t a clear runner-up in ‘96. If it was anybody, it was Buchanan and he had left the party by 2000.
I think my problem with McCain is that he’s always so bold with his anti-conservative positions. He’s got to broadcast them to everyone and I can’t think of many republicans like that.
Two gay RINOs. McCain is just signaling Soros that Mitt can be bought.
Nobody is perfect. It really boils down to instincts with me.
For instance, what’s your motivation if a project is going to cost the taxpayers massive taxation. Of course you’d opt out, unless it was a Constitutional government mandate, like the military.
What would be your first instinct if it was a military matter? Of course it would be supportive of the members of the armed services and also the services too.
What about terrorists? Why you’d error on the side of safety, reducing the threat of terrorism in any possible way that was legal.
McCain’s instincts are all over the map. He’ll toss you a bone once in a while, then drive off the reservation for months at a time, showing the absolute worst instincts on policy I’ve ever seen, for a guy who wants to be thought of as a Conservative.
He belongs in the Democrat party. Some of his policies are so bad, I’d shudder to think of the left adopting them, although they pretty much already have. Johns isn’t qualified by past example, to be in any legitimate political party in the U.S. Of course that’s if you truly love the U.S. and want it to thrive.
I know we’re in agreement here, it just needs to be said over and over again, so that as many people as can be, are exposed to the truth.
Take care.
I don’t think everyone here would agree with me on 20% of the issues, but I’m not the opposite of anyone here. If I acted like John, I think I would have to be extremely vocal on my biggest differences and push them as though they’re ‘our plan’.
I feel that I’m on this forum to discuss issues of commonality. I might have a differing method in my views, but I’m not going to over play my differences. I think John looses me there, because he lacks the diplomacy of his own party.
If he wants to make ‘our views’ seem more acceptable to both parties,...fine, I’m willing to see that sort of compromise, but if he starts left and move to the center, then he has no reason to be called a conservative.
But thanks for your reply and I agree.
