McCain must be promising everybody the VP!

I heard tonight that he might have mention VP to Charlie Crist.

Or maybe, just maybe folks....maybe it’s us.

Remembering that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

The American public doesn’t want conservatism never mind this FreeRepublic with hundreds of thousands of subscribers and Rush Limbaugh with some twenty million listeners, as alleged.

We must not be in the majority. This McCain thing as REPUBLICAN nominee makes no sense. Which is not to say that McCain wouldn’t be understand as a presidential nominee of some sort....an argument could be made that he’s presidential.

So is Republican a party of Conservatives or, right now as it seems, Moderates?

Maybe we’re all wrong. We might think we see it clear and know truth from lies but maybe we don’t.

I don’t want to fight. A little commiseration is welcome.

Right now I am at a TOTAL loss.

Pray for an inspired VP pick...

(Don’t expect one, though)

The “Republican Party” cannot be “conservative”. If it was, it would be a 25% party.

Conservatives like to talk about getting rid of all the moderates, but then we won’t win any elections.

In order to get a Reagan, we have to be able to get 51% of the vote.

John McCain won’t win in November. He’s a lousy candidate. And yet he might just be able to get a win in Florida, which maybe means HE CAN get people to vote for him.

If we assume for the moment he CAN win the election, then we have to decide if we WANT him to win. Well, he’s strong on the war. He’s good for the military. He’s bad for catching terrorists, but we only waterboarded a few people anyway, and my guess is deep down he’ll turn aside if he has to.

Maybe he would be OK. We already decided here that McCain/Feingold/Thompson wasn’t the deal-killer we used to think, since we were voting for Thompson.

He’s a nut about global warming, but maybe 4 years of global warming hysteria won’t kill us.

It’s going to take a while to talk me into McCain. But I think it’s easier than talking me into Huckabee or Rudy.

At some point conservatives may have to decide if we are going to let McCain win without us. Because if we do, he’ll owe us nothing.

Maybe McCain will pick Fred Thompson as VP. And then quit after 4 years.
