The McCain Mutiny

Republicans: George Bush insists John McCain is a true conservative. James Dobson says he's not. Meanwhile, Newsweek predicts "there will be blood" in the GOP. We predict a Republican president. There has to be.

---

McCain wasn't our first choice, but in the field that remains, he's the best choice. It would be disastrous for America if those conservative purists who'd make the perfect the enemy of the good let America go down a path from which it might not recover.

President Bush, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," responded "absolutely" to host Chris Wallace's question of whether John McCain was a "true conservative." McCain is "very strong on national defense," is "tough fiscally," "believes the tax cuts ought to be permanent" and is "pro-life," Bush noted.

For Obama and Hillary, none of the above apply.

Bush did say, "I think that if John is the nominee, he has got some convincing to do to convince people that he is a solid conservative." Indeed he does, as evidenced by Mike Huckabee's win in the Nebraska caucuses over the weekend.

McCain has done well in primaries where independents could vote for him. In caucuses dominated by party activists, he's done poorly. The caucuses of Maine, Minnesota, Alaska, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada and Wyoming were all won by Romney. One might dub McCain the "rebel without a caucus."

Ann Coulter may vote for Hillary Clinton, but we will not. The time for Coulters and the true believers to have rallied behind Mitt Romney was before Super Tuesday. It is by waiting for the next Reagan that they've risked sticking us with the next Clinton.

Your post #91-illustrates exactly why I just can't vote for McCain. I can't do it. And that was before I learned from your post that- on top of everything else- McCain has ties to Soros-figures.

I saw another video where he was addressing his own constituents in Arizona- A woman asked him to answer a question about the crimes of illegals, and anchor babies- the woman was not being unreasonable- But one of his operatives started yelling at her to "SHUT UP! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" Then McCain told the woman he would have her thrown out. (she never raised her voice-she was calm), then he had her thrown out.

There's just no way I can vote for him.

Don't listen to McCain's politically motivated promises of the moment: observe his actions. This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a certified traitor. Born in Dallas, he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last "real" job was serving on Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as his "American Reconquista Director." After that gig ran out, he worked (sic) for George Soros funded internationalist foundations, like the one that published his new book.

The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA. Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." He believes there should be no border at all between Mexico and the USA, ever.

And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week McCain was asked about this choice, and he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. If so, McCain is supporting invasion and reconquista.

Then I read our Constitution, Article 4 Section 4, where it says the federal government MUST protect the states from invasion, and I can only conclude one thing: John McCain is our new Benedict Arnold.

“I’m all for uniting.”

Really? Then why didnt you get right behind Romney when he was the one viable alternative to mcCain?

All this Huckster talk is a pipe-dream. He’s going nowhere
and doesnt deserve to go anywhere.

” The GOP needs to get behind Huckabee. “ The national polls are clear - the GOP is getting behind John McCain. Huckabee trails.

[Mamzelle]

No.

[org.whodat]

And, don’t give me the nonsense McCain is no better.

You could be correct!

I think he is much worse, he will go along with any stupid deal the democrats come up with and the republicans will not fight him, but the rino's may grow a pair and fight a Democrat since they will have proof they are in deep trouble.

Anyway back stabbing McCain will never get my vote.

Planned Parenthood ran a hit piece radio ad on McCain today (DC area) and said that McCain would try to overturn Roe vs. Wade. The ad was rather explicit and said that if you were prochoice not to vote for McCain. The ad was paid for by PP and had no candidate attached (per disclosure in ad).

[Mamzelle]

LOVE your tagline!

[TNdandelion]

I can think of worse things than losing an election.

The difference is about 80% of ACU rating. I can work with him on the other 10% and I know for sure I will not get 100% from anybody. Reagan was as close as it gets to my ideal President, but he did some nonconservative things, too.

[Jay Redhawk]

I think you are on to something here. In fact, I am beginning to think that there is no such thing as a RINO, and what is often referred to as a RINO is just the natural state of a Republican. These Republicans have just gotten to the point that they can no longer fool us into thinking they are conservatives. Indeed, Reagan may have been an aberration among Republicans because I have seen no candidate in this race that even comes close to Reagan. I bet this crop of Republicans would brand Reagan a heretic! But, not in public of course because that would cost them votes.

[xjcsa]

Ahhh...so you’re one of her liberal friends just out there stomping thru the conservative bushes, so to speak?

What gives you that idea?

“Let me get this straight. I haven’t had a vote yet. The Republican idiots have already chosen McCain, who is a well known negative quantity, and I’m the villain for not going along?”

the GOPBOTs are thick as fleas here tonight ..Support the GOP’s McCain or you are dumb, childish, etc..

I cannot vote for this man. His actions have made it clear he will not support conservative judges - without the gang of 14 OK. he will attack free speech, he will open the borders to millions of illegals..he will reach across the
aisle to Socialist Demorats again and again and we conservative will have NO input period. NONE.

[jveritas]

Thank you very much LLS, you are a great FReeper and FRiend :)

“Now we are supposed to get in line for who the GOP wants? Why even waste our time? Don’t even have a primary.”

Uh, we did have a primary, and if you hadn’t noticed, the primaries mattered. the guy who managed to get the most votes and most delegates in that primary season is John Mccain. So why are you acting like this was arranged, when in fact it was a consequence of votes?

Not that the MSM didnt have a say in this, boosting Huckster and McCain in order to shut down the Thompson and Romney campaigns. But in the end it was the voters who made the call.

“I’m talking about the man and making a point that we had better candidates that were snubbed.”

the better candidate was Romney. He was snubbed by anti-mormons. We cant unscramble the egg.

[Milly]

I.just.can’t.do.it.

I changed my mind,I can.. I’ll hold My nose, I can’t stand the thought of the Clinton's getting back in the White House.

[Republic of Texas]

Republicans have actually gotten so arrogant that they don't think they need to fool Conservatives anymore. It's obvious they tolerated us for as long as we voted right and kept quiet. We are the Blacks of the Republican Party. I say enough.

This far, and no further.

[LibLieSlayer]

“That summarizes why true conservatives cannot vote for McCain very well. However, those who support McCain will consider your logic as nothing more than a “hissy fit.”

They said that and more about Reagan... some Republicans despised Reagan... Reagan was not perfect but he was the Father of Modern Conservatism... he brought confidence to a shattered Nation and he made us believe in ourselves again. One cannot be Conservative and not believe the the “Shining City Upon the Hill”. We just have to believe and go out and do it.

mcvader is pulling 300 to 500 per crowd... osama is pulling 15,000 plus per event. We are DESERVEDLY dead meat.

Too bad that McC and the GOP didn't plan on B. Hussein, isn't it? Why are so many GOP bigshots (even some that don't care for McCain) going absolutely nuts trying to browbeat us into jumping on the "straight talk express?" Because with Hillary fading, their careful calculations are now off, and they know damn well that they need conservatives after all (if only to make the loss look less stunning than it will probably be). Clueless to the end, they can't even pull the fear card without belittling us.
