McCain and the Talk-Show Hosts [Helprin/ WSJ Insult Conservatives, Talk Radio]
Wall Street Journal ^ | 12 February 2008 | Mark Helprin

Posted on 02/11/2008 11:09:41 PM PST by zeestephen

"What a kerfuffle! Half a dozen talk-radio hosts whose major talent is that, like hairdressers, they can talk all day long to one client after another as they snip, have decided that the presumptive Republican nominee does not hew sufficiently close to their gospel.

"As anyone who has listened to them knows, the depth of their thought is truly Oprah-like."

zeestephen The more these people speak, the more they convince me I’m making the right decision....to reject mclame.

Yes, I am extremely comfortable in my plan to simply not vote for Mclame. I will only vote for conservatives on this year's ballot and McCain doesn't make the cut.

Well the President said it as well.

In the meantime, I think everyone who doesn’t want to vote for McCain should band together and form some coalition of the unwilling and state their terms for their vote for McCain.

1. Illegal immigration must be curtailed/stopped/border fence done
2. Pledge at real Roberts type judges
3. Tax cuts permanent
4. China is our enemy: economic sanctions up the yingyang
5. No Nafta road through the US

that would make me happier, too.

I wish I was comfortable. I am less comfortable pulling the lever for mclame than I am at not pulling any.

House and Senate is where I will focus.

“I will only vote for conservatives on this year’s ballot and McCain doesn’t make the cut.”......DITTO!

Like I said,”Heh,heh,sucker,you have no where else to go!”
Don’t confuse common petulance with a man defending his honor.
Give in to blackmail and it never ends—and McCain is holding our national security for our votes as ransom—knowing full well his goal of exterminating conservatism will be the result in the long run.
Sell your principles,mine are priceless.

“Still sore that I was right about our collective feelings of betrayal by Bush “....

ROFL!!! “our”...please DO NOT include me in ANY group of yours. Not only do I find you a troll but a weirdo as well. Once I saw your “mormons prayed and made tornadoes whip through the midwest” post, you confirmed my suspicions.

WEIRDO!

Then you, sir, have not read Ephesians 6. Was St. Paul a “weirdo”?

Get back to me after the epiphany.

And stop holding a grudge. Your boy Romney did.
