Zot me if you wish, but after all the vitriol towards me on FR, the last two GOP candidates left are McCain and Huckabee, the irony was too good to pass up.
JMO, but a lot of Freepers acted like the left with their stern demand that every person must adhere to a 110% litmus test.
With now McCain's sealing up the nomination and blaming everyone else and their dog, maybe you all should look at yourselves, despite the claims of 20 million listeners or being a top web site, the results are in and your brand of conservatism is not selling where it counts, the GOP primaries.
Tax Hike Mike bears a greater resemblance to fool's gold than to bedrock.

Well, at least Dane gets a point for consistency?

No votaré por McCain.
No votaré por Huckabee.
you are probably 90% correct, which is 90 out of hundred reasons NOT TO VOTE FOR A LIBERAL LIKE MCCAIN.
You aren't even worth it.
Nice job; good post and a fair question. We need to unite and stop sounding like the crazy vitriolic left.........this “hate McCain” insanity...is no different than the lefts irrational hatred for Bush.
I'm no accountant -- but that means 60% don't support him.
Hey! Watch it!
“a lot of Freepers acted like the left with their stern demand that every person must adhere to a 110% litmus test.”
STARTING with the Tancredo, Hunter One-Issue Bomb-throwers...
The Not So Great Dane has won - now Hillary or Obama will win. At least Rush and others had the guts to stand up. You, well, you are a twirp.
Barry Goldwater warned against the exact infighting you describe here in a speech in 1964.
Plus, it is a fact that most voters don’t delve into the issues or the candidates’ positions on them very deeply at all. I know many otherwise intelligent people, who aren’t however political junkies, who only knew of John McCain, “war hero”, until I explained some things to them. My own husband was disgusted when I did.
uhhh...Rush is an entertainer.......playing to his base......
Is that you John?
But is Huckabee a “conservative savior?” He raised taxes in Arkansas, he’s pushing nanny-state solutions to things. Socially he’s very conservative and I agree with his stands on many things, but he’s another big-government “compassionate conservative” a la President Bush. He’s done and said little to prove that he’s had some sort of Damascus Road conversion to fiscal conservatism to go along with his social conservatism.
Fact is, Thompson, Hunter, and Tancredo were the closest we had to “conservative saviors” across the entire spectrum of various conservative thought. Tancredo and Hunter never got any traction, and Fred...I still haven’t figured out what happened there. Too little too late, I guess. So we got left with candidates who were conservative in some areas but not in others—Huckabee the social conservative, Romney the fiscal conservative, McCain the defense conservative—and our vote got fractured.

Have the faint of heart capitulatd? In light of the quandry many republicans are in ‘to vote or not to vote’. Shall cynicism rule the day?
Was it the pressure of the establishment blue-blood country club republicans to clear the path for McScamnesty that caused Mitt to ‘suspend’ his campaign? or was it his family all concerned about their inheritance? Either way, I’m disgusted. Why give up on something you thought important enough that you would invest so much?
The Republican party has just taken a step down the road to morphing into the demonsocialists....McCain is well instructed and very adept at ‘reaching across’ the great divide (that once was) to bring republicanism into ‘harmony’ and ‘submission’ to the liberalism ballyhooed by the opPRESSive’ drive by media’.
This is the result of the moderate Republicans willing to give up on Republican core values in order to be ‘good guys’ and get the public to love them.Rush says these Republicans want amnesty not just for the illegals here, but also for democrats.
I guess the party potentates (read my lips) have agreed with all the naysayers that “the era of Reagan coalition is Dead”.
Can Republicans win based on a fear and criticizing Billary - or worse, Obama? Rush says that would be suicide because it would be categorized as anti-black, or woman hatred. But where is there leadership? The people who have made a mess of the Republican party are those who wanted to expand the party (to be a big tent) so as to marginalize the conservatives. That makes more sense than any other motivation I can see in the Establishment Republican tactics - in order to get power back from the grass roots they have despised for so long. (retribution for their embarrssment) It is the establishment republicans who have not supported conservatives, now pushing a candidate who has demeaned the base, not cooperated when Republicans tried to get legislation through the senate - in fact, joined the most liberal democrat senators to create his legislation.
Have we the intestinal fortitude to hold our nose while voting for the disengenuous Mcmaverick? We’ll see.
