This one? Or were you thinking of a different one?
Your recollection is absolutely right.

Thank you.
Oh yes, that would be the one. Funny how all the McCainiacs want to kick us off and shut us up.
They probably think they can ban JR.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they called him a troll for that post!
LOL
I had to ask because it’s not the only thread he has started to excoriate McCain.
Thank you very much, that’s a far better picture than the ones my Marines used to draw of me :D
LOL! A 60 huh!? What does that mean? That places him around 47th, meaning that there were 46 other Senators that placed better than your favored liberal. You lose! Blackbird.
Are you Jessie Macbeth?
Then why are you supporting an Obama victory?
So Obama is your favored liberal, not McQueeg? I DON'T SUPPORT LIBERALS! Get it yet? Blackbird.
His name is Jonathan Chait, a senior editor at The New Republic. Here's what he wrote in that magazine:
That would be the Jonathan Chait who wrote "The Case for Bush Hatred" in 2003.
Sure, not like he has an agenda or anything ...
It is no exaggeration to say that, during this crucial period, McCain was the most effective advocate of the Democratic agenda in Washington.
I guess it's "not an exaggeration" if it's flat-out wrong ...
On the environment, he sponsored with John Kerry a bill raising automobile fuel-efficiency standards ...
And that's wrong because ...? ... (aside from the company McCain keeps, I mean) ...
This is a bizarre situation. Chait, a liberal, hates Bush (he admits it: he revels in it), so he uses Bush to make McCain look like a Democrat (which he isn't). Farah, a conservative, isn't so much in love with Bush, but he swallows Chait's line on every point, without question and ends up rejecting McCain. Maybe Jon and Joe deserve each other.
What’s wrong is, he associates with democrats, he plans bills with democrats, he does things far too frequently with democrats.
There’s an old saying.
If you ride with an outlaw you die with an outlaw.
If that doesn’t bother you that’s fine with me, it’s your choice, I won’t try to change your mind on it.
But for me, Mcain far too frequently rides with democrats, as far as I’m concerned, he’s a democrat.
More and more are in agreement with us about not voting for McCain.
I actually hope he loses, and I do not think we are doomed I tell you doomed if he loses.
Any of the three will damage the economy but nothing that can’t be fixed.
Sooooooo, not only will I not vote for McCain I may vote the 3rd party. I have never voted this way before, I am 57.
Screw McCain and all of the other socialist RINO’s.
Pa- what a load of crap.
If, and I hope not, McCain were to become POTUS his plans as he has laid out would bad for conservatives and the countrym
You cannot name one valid reason to vote for McCain, not one.
But let me go down the list of just a few and why it won’t happen.
He’ll appoint conservative judges.
Wrong, je won’t have the votes so he’ll have to work with his socialist buds for a more liberal pick, besides he hates conservatives.
He will cut taxes. wrong, several of his plans will in fact require taxes to increased. One is his cap and steal from everyone with a job plan, mislabeled as enviroment plan. The other is his amnesty plan, will cost hunderds of billions of dollars.
Oil, he is against drilling for oil.
Brave soldiers died fighting to save this country from socialism, I’ll be damned if I will vote for one I don’t care which party.
This year, however, no amount of cajoling, fearmongering, or character assassination seems to be sufficient to win over support.
Regardless of what affect it will have on America's future it now seems apparent to me that Obama will win going away in November. If you can't get Freepers to stand behind McCain, then what hope is there for solid support from any other sector of the electorate?
If I was to be "self-righteous" and vote for the candidate closest to my own political opinions I might write in Tancredo. If instead I decide to be pragmatic about it, then why waste any time or energy on McCain? Why not spend my time and money on Senate and Congressional races in hopes of electing enough Republicans to block Obama?
Your claim seems to be one based on pragmatism: what is the least worst thing we can do for the future of America. But if McCain has no chance, then the least worst thing you can do is spend all your time and money on helping re-elect the roadblock to Obama's agenda.
If you can make some kind of "coattails" argument abount McCain then maybe trying to elect McCain, even though he has no chance, IS the best strategy for getting more Republicans in congress. But from what I've seen, McCain is not so much wearing a coat with long tails as a tube top.
I agree with you on Mcain, and get this.
I read an article yesterday about the RNC leadership in near panic mode because of the recent losses in the 3 special elections.
Their answer to this was to go further into darkness by embracing more communist/socialist ideals.
Evidently the brain dead morons at the RNC still don’t get it. That’s what has cost them the elections in the first place.
People, when given the choice of Liberal or Liberal lite, are going to say the hell with it and go liberal. Or they are not going to vote at all.
The RNC needs an enema and it needs one badly.
People are saying they aren’t happy with the direction the country is taking.
Duh, no kidding. The direction is Socialism, but our socialist masters are trying to implay that is not the case.
But notice that no one asks the all important question of which direction they think the country is headed, and why is it wrong?
