Lou,
Nice post. I agree with you wholeheartedly. The spineless bunch on this forum disappoint me. I’m not a big McCain man, but he’s devoted his life to this country. He’s a war hero, and except for a hand full of votes has been pretty conservative, in fact those entities that keep score say he’s right up at the top on his voting record.
If the intent here is to make him wake up and respect the issues that are important to us, then fine. I think he’s getting the message.
We have a much more chance of influencing McCain as president, esp on Supreme Court nominees, than we do with those two dems.
Check out the response I got at #40. Real smart fellow that guy.
The rope-a-dope on illegal immigration is losing elections.
“Real smart fellow that guy.” correction.....
Real smart gal that girl.

There are some FReepers who admit they will hold their nose and vote mclame because their back is against the wall. THEY are honest about it. You and others spew hateful remarks, I guess you take your talking points from your “leader”. Who, by the way, said hill would make a very good president. I don’t see you repeating that one.
I could not agree more except we would have virtually no chance of influencing SCOTUS nominations if the either dem wins. This alone (along with the war on terror) makes it necessary for us to support McCain, no matter what other problems we have with his positions.
Thanks, Nikos.
I understand where everyone is coming from. I’m disappointed it’s not Fred, or even Romney. But that’s in the past, and we need to play the hand we’re dealt. If we don’t win this, it will be far worse for the economy, the war, and the long term prospects for conservatism. If we don’t win this, plan on higher taxes, slower growth coming out of this business cycle, capitulation in the war on terror and more attacks, activist judges on the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, a new “Fairness Doctrine” to undermine talk radio, renewed attacks on the Second Amendment, and I’m sure a whole lot more negatives as yet unforeseen.
And these people are threatening to hold their breath, stamp their feet, and sit out this election - as if a moderate to liberal Republican would be worse. Wake up people: Clinton and Obama are not moderates: Clinton’s playing one to get herself elected, and Obama is one of the most liberal members of the Senate. McCain won’t be perfect, but perfect is not an option at this point.
