[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I’m not giving up on McDonnell, but he lost a point in my book. FRegards ....

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

How can McDonnell justify speaking up for this jerk?

rabscuttle385 provides a link to each of these McCain quotes:

“[Conservatives are] going to destroy the f*cking [Republican] party...
Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such a**holes?”
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, UNKNOWN

“I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy.”
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 02 APR. 2004

“I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 10 OCT. 2008

I would rather have a clean government
than one whose — quote — First Amendment rights
are being respected that has become corrupt.
If I had my choice, I’d rather have a clean government.
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 2006

“I believe climate change is real.”
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 2010-02-23

“The fence is the least effective but I’ll build
the G****mned fence if they want it!”
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, UNKNOWN

I wasn't implying anyone should give up on him. He'll be a very good governor for the Ol' Dominion.
Yet, he's a politician so he'll at times behave like one.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Yet, he’s a politician so he’ll at times behave like one.”

Should we let McCainiac be the only one to apply political pressure?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

People should let McDonnell know that they are knocking 10% off their future contributions to him for this one thing alone.

[jla]

How about 100%?
Since Palin egregiously misleading donors I have personally resolved not to ever again donate one red cent to any politician.
I'm tired of giving money to wealthy people, (excluding Palin, at the times I had donated and candidates such as Diane Irey), to help them win elections which for the most part are merely a fulfillment of an ego trip. If a candidate has personal wealth and thinks so highly of him/herself then perhaps they should prove it and spend more of their own cash.
It is no wonder, at all, that Jefferson's most preferred place to be was at his home atop his little Virginian mountain. And our other greatest President preferred his California mountaintop abode to any populated environ.
Wonder why?

...besides, the Salvation Army would better make use of one's money than any politician.

To 40 - LOL Do you reside in a remote cave somewhere?

LOL, your post doesn't contain much of a cite, does it? LOL.

[jla]

1. "cite" is a verb, not a noun.
2. Palin, in the last several weeks, has expressed her admiration for McCain and support of his reelection on TV and radio as well as in print. Most recently on Tuesday during her segment with Jay Leno.
2. Consider changing your site name to Simpleton.

“How about 100%? Since Palin egregiously misleading donors I have personally resolved not to ever again donate one red cent to any politician.”

If 10% of McDonnell voters told him that whatever future fundraiiser he wants, they instead contribute to Hayworth —I’m happy. And if another 10% of McDonnell supporters say no more to anyone and make it clear that supporting McCainiac is a betrayal of safe borders, great. But you need to contact him and tell him why. Be my guest. Save some bucks. Whatever.

I don’t fault Palin so much, but YES — McDonnell has me ticked off. I’m seriously disappointed in him. If a city gets nuked because of his support of McCain, maybe he should stick his hand in the goo of some kid — it would be his fault.

“It is no wonder, at all, that Jefferson’s most preferred place to be was at his home atop his little Virginian mountain. And our other greatest President preferred his California mountaintop abode to any populated environ.
Wonder why?”

George Washington never saw California. But he would roll in his grave to see such sickening PARTY above PRINCIPLE loyalty.

We must spank these guys when they do stupid things — not too hard and not too soft.

[jla]

You and I are basically reading off the same page.
By the way, I've previously asked, yet you haven't responded, on the origin of your site name.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I’m a fantasy writer at heart — Arthur, an ideal I will never reach.

“March” went well with “Arthur”. Wanted a screen name that might double for a pen name one day.

Wildfire! — Was early cyber activist, back when massive driving to parties would have been too ambitious. Now these tea parties are essential, something I can’t participate in, so I’m a headline digger/organizer/etc.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

FRiend, I’m glad you are sticking with Sarah. I lost a little respect for her AZ intervention, but it’s bearable since she was a running mate. FRegards ....

[longtermmemmory]

The Dinosaur DC establishment.

McCain is too old to fight his own fights?

[longtermmemmory]

my conclusion is that palin if firmly out of politics. She is comfortable with the role of personality.

She is just going to ______ tease the conservative until everyone figures it out.

[Phosgood]

I am going to ride by Thomas Jefferson's Monticello this morning. I would ask our Governor McDonnell to review McCain's past in detail then stand at Jefferson's grave-site make and state his endorsement of RHINO McCain. Scott Brown's ailse jump to Obama's Job Stimulus Bill does not surprise me but I expected better of our new governor with his hasty endorsement. A bigger question: Is there a possible Conservative Democrate canidant in their AZ primary.

[Prokopton]

Usually punks as rude and ignorant as you are found living in their parents basement.
No matter how numerous your childish posts you still can't point to one time where Palin backed up your unsubstantiated claim that she is campaigning for McCain out of some noble need to pay him back even though it requires her to abandon her oft vocalized claim that she would only support common sense conservatives. For all I, or you, know, Palin thinks that McCain is a common sense conservative and that's why she's backing him.
Come back when you've grown up and/or have gained at least some ability to logically follow a post without juvenile name calling.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“A bigger question: Is there a possible Conservative Democrate canidant in their AZ primary.”

I seriously doubt that any democrat is better than Hayworth or even as moderate as McCain. I’ve been inundated with AZ pings, and no Arizonan has mentioned one yet. Hayworth is a trade up from McCain, the key to safer borders, tax cuts, better judges, military budget, and El Numero Uno — FREE SPEECH. He was even endorsed by Mark Levin.

Thank you for the time. I hope Governor McDonnell listens to you. There is time for him to do the right thing and gain more solid support from the conservative base.

The same with Romney. I sided with Romney during the prez primary [took some heat for that] and will not support him again, this one issue being the last straw — he endorsed McCain. But if Romney sees the light before the primary, I would reconsider. Please note that Rush called out Romney for this too. Rush hasn’t endorsed Hayworth, but it’s clear he doesn’t like McCain one bit.

— FRegards ....

[cradle of freedom]

This is why I hate endorsements. It is one of the worst things about party politics. I wish this political party stuff hadn’t gotten started 200 years ago.
