Did not see it posted yet, here we go folks!
John McCain, old, bad temper, acts like Captain Queeq of the “Kane Mutany”, yep great leadership qualities there.
If a conservative candidate were to demonstrate what true conservative leadership is, RINOs would lose their raison-d'etre. The RNC isn't going to let that happen without a fight.
So disappointing . . could someone please explain to me why the print media can endorse the candidates in the primary season, but the conservative media cannot. I can’t help but think that if the big talk show hosts came out with their endorsements early, maybe it would have made a difference. If they wanted Thompson, why not just say it when it could have mattered?
I agree with everything you've written. I know that Michael Medved always says that when people say that "there is no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats" they are always wrong; and, then he will go on to point out tax policy, or judges, or social issues. Well, with McCain, there is NO difference. And, you are absolutely right concerning his "temperament". In 2000, people actually were talking about that, now, only silence.
As for those people on this site who are saying that they will not vote for HRC or Obama; McCain is counting on just that. I feel sorry for those Republicans on ballots this election season if McCain is at the top of the ticket, because a lot of conservatives are going to be staying home. (I will have to vote because I want to "re-elect" Dino Rossi for WA state governor, but I will probably write-in someone else for President.)
And finally, just MHO, but I believe that Republicans, and conservatives especially, are about to enter our "Wilderness Years".
calm down! wait and see.
Hispanics probably were told to register as GOP to vote for Mr. Amnesty. That is why Dade went so big for McNut. This stinks to high heaven.
We will never surrender our party to McNut NEVER. I have just begun to fight.
John McCain - Leadership for America

McBlame couldn’t beat Dole!
“That joker looks uncannily like... Ron Paul.”
That thought crossed my mind just before I read your post. Too funny.
I heard Rush say he could understand people who say they would sit this one out. He said he did not say he was sitting this one out.
I am on a high ridge of conservative perspective, looking down on your silliness.
You nailed it!
I just called the RNC to tell them they lost me! I could not vote for McCain.
The day after McCain sews up the nomination his so-called friends in the MSM will turn on him and start a series of articles and exposes detailing his involvement in the Keating scandal, his uncontrollable temper, his drug-addicted wife, and so on. We conservatives already know his perfidy, from CFR to amnesty for illegals.
I AM SICK TONIGHT!
MITT ROMNEY NEEDS A BIG PERFORMANCE NEXT TUESDAY - BIG!!!!!!
Unless we do something about the public education system, we could see the end of conservatism in our lifetime.

I absolutely agree with that. I don’t see it reversing any time soon. G.K. Chesterton knew that the bigger the government becomes, then the more people it will hurt once it collapses. It’s just too top heavy.
When I vote on Tuesday, I will not vote for McCain either.. IT WILL BE ROMNEY!
But no, it is not obvious to the people that we have been so successful at it we should continue running it as we have been for four or eight more years.
Nor is it obvious to them, if we are succeeding in Iraq, that it isn't a reason to declare victory and get out.
And it isn't any DNC script saying so. Count the votes cast for Romney or candidates right of him, however you care to measure that.
Some conservatives want to live in a dreamworld in which McCain isn't conservative enough to be part of their party, and neither is the governor of CA, and neither is the former mayor of NY, and neither are a dozen senators with Rs after their name, and neither is a sitting two term president at 40% in the polls because he is more conservative than half the country.
But such sentiments only make political sense if conservatism is a 60% and upward majority philosophy. If you have well over half the people agreeing with you on everything, you can afford to dump a few as not true blue enough, to move the policy goalposts.
Conservatism in the US today is not in that position. I'd like it to be, but it isn't.
Long wars are not popular. $3 gas is not popular. Housing crashes are not popular. Market corrections, even, are not popular. You don't have to be a leftist to notice this. You have to be slightly nutty not to, or to think it won't matter.
What is helping us right now is the left is caving to moonbats who many people wouldn't trust as staffers for a city councilman. Without that overreaching on their side, we'd be sunk. It isn't clear we aren't sunk anyway.
The party and conservatism will endure and eventually come back because our policies are things the country needs. The Dems, in the end, have no solution to problems like Iran. But the road will not be straight. It is delusional to think it will have to be just because we wish it were.
The state reports actual results, the Media basis it on exit polls, precint by precinct. There is no sampling error in the actual results. In the polls, there's sampling error, error in the estimate of how many people voted in that precinct. And of course there may be a considerable difference in which precincts are being reported.
In all that, there is also room for manipulation .
I'm in Orlando (on business). Local radio still reporting virtual tie, both in precincts reported so far, and in local precincts, while AP (surprise surprise) has called it for McCain.
Mark Halprin, at Time/CNN, (ditto ditto) is reporting Rudy will come out for McCain, as early as tomorrow. Guess Rudy is willing to settle for VP.
I don’t trust any voting results coming out of Florida. I imagine the Rats found a way to skew the results.
