Secret Is Out: RUSH Helps McCain

Excellent point, but did you mean....

“If we accept an inept commander in chief in a time of war so we can pick up seats [later]sic, we have chosen party over country. I will not do so.” ?

I agree completely with the above statement. Four days of a Clinton/Obama administration would be too many, even if it ensured a majority in two years. Four years is unthinkable. Better an actual war hero, and the father of a military veteran just back from Iraq than an administration that ‘loathes’ the military.

[Mr. Silverback]

Get a grip. Rush willl be on board soon. right now he’s doing the only thing he can do to promote Regan conservatism. Soon he will adopt Reagan’s “I’d rather get 80% than march off the cliff with my flag flying.”

[Mr. Silverback]

See post 80.

[MortMan]

Conservatives in Congress and elsewhere can exert a significant amount of restraint on a President McCain's liberal tendencies

There is no evidence to support McCain's being susceptible to conservative pressure.

[Mr. Silverback]

I don't see McCain doing this...

Then your imagination is so poor I wouldn't be surprised if you have trouble imagining the Earth as a sphere. I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open at the idiocy of the idea that McCain would not fight the terrorists. Who put his politicaal career on the line for the Surge all year, genius?

[Mr. Silverback]

I did mean earlier, becaause I think the GOP will get the Congress back eventually (there's no such thing as a permanent majority) and the sixth year of a Dem administration would be the most likely time. That said, your version is better and I'll be using that from now on.

Hillary could come back (don't believe the witch is dead until her feet curl back under the house) but I'm seeing Obama as the likely Dem nomminee, and I noticed something about him the other day: He was still pooping in a diaper when McCain was sitting alert in Skyraiders on the Enterprise during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

[Mr. Silverback]

Could those of you who say you'll never vote for McCain explain something to me?

Why is it conservative to accept an inept commander-in-chief in a time of war?

[txhurl]

Everybody’s gonna vote for McLettuce in November.

We’re just going to torture him, as he has us, until then.

Turnabout is fair play.

[Dr._Joseph_Warren]

Rush is closing in on his Lonesome Rhodes moment.

[Mr. Silverback]

Fair enough. Thanks for stepping up.

Do you know what Conservatism is? Do you understand the definition of Reagan Conservatism?

[Piquaboy]

Maybe we don’t want to go there!

[Almondjoy]

Perfect.

You do that and when all you so called conservatives sit out the race and the Democrats win then we can blame all of you for the even more liberal policies that get put in place.

Those hard core conservatives that want to sit out the race are just acting like a bunch of cry babies. You can’t stand the fact that most Republicans like McCain and so like spoiled little children you run away and hide in the corner.

Truely a pathetic display from a group of people who say they love this country most.

[beandog]

Unlike you, I’m not so sure that McCain would not be an inept CIC. After all, he’s for closing Gitmo and has whined excessively about waterboarding being torture.

[beandog]

What’s really pathetic is people like you who think they can bully people into voting for somebody they don’t want to. My son, who served with the Marines in Iraq, does not want to vote for McCain. He has every right to make whatever decison he wants to without vicious name calling from the likes of people like you.

""We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." MLK

So true. I see opportunity to spread our ideals to the moderates in the Big Tent Republican Party. Ronald Reagan would want us to do so. Those people who say, "No way am I voting for McCain!" are the same cut and run mentality that calls for the U.S. to get out of Iraq. Very foolish thinking in my book.

[Mr. Silverback]

Do you know what Conservatism is? Do you understand the definition of Reagan Conservatism?

Yes, I do, but since you seem to think I don't, answer my question and give me an education:

Why is it conservative to accept an inept commander-in-chief in a time of war?

[Mr. Silverback]

After all, he’s for closing Gitmo and has whined excessively about waterboarding

I disagree with him on that, but the idea that he's not miles ahead of Obama and Hillary on these issues is a little silly. Obama doesn't even want to listen to terrorist phone calls.

There is no comparison on national security. Making perfect the enemy of good in a time of war is suicidal.

[snowrip]

You can’t stand the fact that most Republicans like McCain

Wrong.

People can't stand the fact that, aside from the conflict in Iraq, McCain's position on every major issue is IDENTICAL to that of Hillary and Obama. Don't tell me he's a tough guy in the WOT, either; Iraq is only ONE front in the war we are in. McCain has shown his liberal tendencies in nearly every other facet of this war... anti-waterboarding, closing Gitmo, prosecuting terrorists in civilian courts, open borders, UN oversight in US military deployment... you name it.

The fact that the republican establishment endorses McCain is a non-starter for any thinking person, because it was the current republican't party that gave us such winning philosophies as compassionate conservatism, amnesty, open primaries, globalism, McCain-Feingold, and the like.

So go ahead and support McCain, you who claim to love America. Do you honestly think that John McCain will save our civilization, our American culture, from its slide towards the abyss?

Presently writes...Like there will never be another Reagan, there will never be another Rush! Let's enjoy him while we have him; hopefully, for, at least, another 30 years.

And I agree, wholeheartedly my FRiend.
