Look, people. We are at war! I am not a McCain supporter, either. But my candidates left the race. There is a war to fight. And either of the two alternatives in the other party is so horrible to contemplate that McCain is the only choice left. Those who advocate not voting or voting for the other party — including Ann, Rush, et. al. — need to stop foaming at the mouth and ask themselves this simple question: can we afford to give Osama and Co. four free years in this war of civilizations?

But don’t forget the advance of globalism, the economic war that China is waging, the destruction of the dollar, etc etc.

Radical Islam isn’t the only threat to the US. It’s a great distraction however, to what’s happening beneath the surface.

If we can’t afford to wage a war, we’re already defeated.

McCain isnt’ going to do jack squat about that.

“Look, people. We are at war!”

That is correct, but the real war is here in this country. If there are those in the US that really want the limited gov’t, freedom, and liberty established by the founding Fathers ... then the “reset button” (as one Freeper has put it) needs to be pressed in the US, like it was in 1860. But this time the Feds/liberals are the true enemies liberty.

The terrorists and liberals are one in the same. Until the war at home can be won, we will never win the war abroad.

Ditto...my husband and I voted for Romney (would have voted for Thompson but he was off the ballot by the time our “turn” came around.) McCain is bad, but not as bad as Hillary and Obama when it comes to the war.

As far as McCain being electable...I think he probably will be because of the acrimony that’s going to exist when the Dems finish deciding who their candidate will be. Somebody asked “Where’s the angel in the whirlwind?” If there is one, it’s the battle that’s going to take place in the Democratic party.

If Obama wins hands down, that would make McCain’s electability harder, but I don’t think that will happen. If it did happen, you’ve got 2 senators, and experience versus inexperience when it comes to war issues. Poll after poll has proven that the American populace has not given up on the war, like the Dem leaders have.

But I think he and H will slug it out, and she will be nominated...turning off many of Obama’s supporters. If she offers him the VP, it still looks like she’s throwing him a bone, and the image of a woman President and behind her the black VP...well, you get the picture, not a pretty one to those with racial sensitivities.

Am I foaming? Not in the least. I am absolutely clear headed, responsible, clean, God fearing, all that stuff, and I am either NOT going to vote or I will vote for Hillary! She’s as good as anything the “true conservatives” and “social conservatives” blessed us with last night.

As stated before, she’s a woman, as such I have as much in common with her as with the mental defective, McCain.

Why all the hand wringing? You’ve made your choice. Damn.

Nor am I, but when I think think of what may happen to our men and women in uniform with Clinton or Obama at the helm, I will hold my nose and pull the lever for McCain....

America needs a rude awakening. 4 years of utter incompetency by Clinton will give us that awakening. Four years of utter incompetency from McCain, will just make America hate republicans even more.

The party has rejected conservatism in hopes that by appealing to liberals we can defeat the liberals. America has made its bed. America is going to have to sleep in it for the next four years.

We are at war!

What good is it to win a war abroad, only to have our nation's sovereignty utterly destroyed by an amnesty to 20 million illegals? This amnesty will happen whether the POTUS is Hillary, Obama, OR McCain, so it just doesn't matter.

I will not vote for any of them; I refuse to be party to the destruction of my country.

“can we afford to give Osama and Co. four free years in this war of civilizations?”

McCain wants to close gitmo, redefine waterboarding as “torture”, and join the ICC so our soldiers, airmen and marines can be prosecuted in the Hague.

Can we afford President McCain?
