Are there any Freepers who support John McCain?

If you support Mr. McCain, can you make the case for your man?

Can you make the case without bringing up the War?

Can you make the case without bringing up Judges?

Can you make the case without using any ACU ratings? (Those don't impress anybody.)

Can you make the case without insults or telling people to "calm down"?

Can you make the case without the type of lying and dishonesty we've come to expect from John McCain and his special friend Mike Huckabee?

Can you make the case without trashing Barack Obama?

Can you make the case without using Hillary Rodham Clinton as some kind of boogyman or boogyperson?

Can you?

The ball is in your court.

McCain says:

Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)

"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."

“No matter what you do, there WILL be a Senator in the White House...Just which Senator gets to pick the Supreme Court Judges can have something to do with you.”

And Senators (except for a handful of exceptionally wise, respectable Republican Senators who voted against the amnesty bill summer 2007) have earned a reputation for being closed-door, ignore the public types. How in the heck is it that this bunch of crooks: Clinton, Obama, McCain and Huckabee- that these are the ones left in the running?

Here is my case ... He is more conservative that either of the two Democratic potential nominees ...

End of argument.

There never was a perfect candidate in this race on our side, though most of us had our favorite ... and it was never McCain. There is too much at stake here to give it to Hillary by staying home, because staying home not only guarantees her victory ... it pretty much hands the Dems more Senate seats, House seats, governors, state legislatures, etc. The argument that we should let them win so we have a better chance to win next time is totally stupid. The damage they could impose on our republic with a filibuster-proof Senate may not be fixable. Think of all the legislation the Republicans managed to block just in this past year. With a filibuster-proof Senate, we would have surrendered Iraq to the terrorists. Yesterday we would have had a much more expensive "stimulus package." How long will it be before a Dem-controlled congress passes such revolting legislation as hate crime bills that outlaw the honest preaching of the gospel against lifestyles that we consider self-destructive. What about taxes ... how long would it take them to require 2/3 majority to lower any taxes, to raise taxes on everything from gasoline to cigs. A thousand other things would come to mind that would rip this country apart.

And there is no telling what measures they will take while they are in total control ... to ensure they remain in control always.

Mccain was part of the Gang of 14 threatening the “nuclear option” if Bush were to pick a conservative judge

Now that's classic. Please don't vote.

Good argument. I've got similar thoughts.

When I saw McCain at the CPAC conference today, I noticed that George Allen was on the stage with him. Let's hope Allen is his selection for Veep....(and let's hope McCain only serves one term if elected.)

Which democrat do you want to defeat? McCain, Hillary, or Obama?


Hillary and Obama have a wide lead in Democrat delegates over McCain, so definitely one of them.

Which of those three names do you suppose the jihadists fear the most?

You’d not fight a “humanitarian mission” in order to keep islamo-fascists from taking total control of the middle east?

The subject here is how/why/if would we support McCain. Those who say “no way” etc need to grow-up.

I’ve “been around” for more years than some people can count. I’ve seen Presidents screw-up...I’ve presidents wreck the economy and everything else they touched....I’ve seen Presidents do okay, and I’ve seen Presidents do great.

The O N L Y thing that matters, HOWEVER we might feel is KEEP THE LIBERAL OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE - IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.

The only hope, as much as we (me included) DON’T LIKE IT, there’ll only be two choices this fall.

We’ll be making a terrible mistake to vote for Hitlery or Obamasama by NOT voting Republican!

And you REALLY think the Democrat candidates care MORE for the GOP??

I have a bridge for sale......

Protect the country not a small sliver of an opinion which is almost irrelevant compared to what will be or is the alternative to this man you cannot abide.

If you love Billery or Obama more then you are not a dedicated Republican, letting picayune matters interfere with your mind’s ability to analyze on the basis of reality not emotion.

Respectfully, that’s what’s wrong with the West as a whole. We think with our hearts and lose to those who think and plan with their brains. Like Billary and the Terrorists.

I predict that most here, certainly not all, but most, will bite the bullet and pull the GOP lever in November.

Some may never admit it, but most of us will be there on election day.

What you mean by asking all these stupid questions is that you want a Conservative to justify his support of McCain on Immigration only.

I am disappointed in fellow Conservatives. I have never seen so many 1 issue voters in one place.

I don't support McCain on Immigration, but find him acceptable on most other things.

The meltdown from 1/2 of us and the civil war between us had Liberals laughing their asses off at us.

The 'I'd rather vote for Hillary than McCain' mantra is on par with Alec Baldwin saying he would leave the country if Bush were re-elected. Remember how we all laughed at Alec?

Watch me talk about Romney and McCain

i’m so glad at least one person understands what i’ve been trying to say. But it sounds like one of the jackasses will win, because these proud, better than you republicans are going to show mccain all right. So when the bombs come and the terrorist are here and the are 2 more ruth gensbergs on the court, who gets the blame???? those who saw what would happen and sat out anyway because once against someone doesn’t meet my standards 100%, how fricken short sighted it that?
