I understand McRino’s politics: “let them eat lettuce.”

Does that ring any bells, lol?!

Real Americans Won’t Vote for McCain. Go Bill!

Sorry, I’m a real American and a Conservative who will vote for McCain. Solely because he’ll make the best Commander-in Chief of those real Americans serving in Iraq & Afghanistan.
I don’t want them under the command of left wing Traitorcrats.

I respect the choice of those who will not tow the party line, and not vote for McCain. That’s Democracy and you should vote your conscience. But not all of us who are voting for McCain are doing so for the party. I hope those that won’t vote for him will still vote the under card.. we need to send more Conservatives to Congress.

Lieberman-McCain, too! McCain is already digging in his heels and spitting in the face of conservatives, not only refusing to fight with the liberals, but championing their goals! Who will fight this if we have a President McCain?

None, because all the RINOS in Congress will back him, and all those elected with the letter (R) after their name will be beat up if they don't get behind the (R) in the White House.

Your vote will go directly to the most conservative 3rd party candidate to emerge {can’t think who that will be, because the Huckster isn’t a conservative}, and then be re-directed to Mrs. Clinton or Obama. Unfortunately none of us have any control of that. It is called the Law of Unintended Consequences. So which one do you prefer to be nominating our next Supreme Court justices?

All it takes is one state to send the message. I would go for a fairly unpopulated state like Idaho for an easier win. Personally I'm writing Duncan Hunter in here in Michigan.

Hunter was as near to perfect we were going to see in this race. Despite Michael Reagan's apparent backing of McCain, he called Hunter the best man for the job and the one man most like Ronald Reagan.

Snort. Well put. HE won’t stifle conservatives! He’ll be constrained by the Constitution! And he WILL surrender in Iraq.

Not that they loved Huckabee, but that they have zero trust in the promises of McCain.

And who can blame them? I'm not a Republican, but I see where everyone in the party should be pissed off. McCain's underhanded antics increasingly remind of a part of A Christmas Carol, Present talking about the children Ignorance and Want:

Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. "Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And bide the end!"

That's strange - you've been a vocal supporter of a moonbat leftist candidate throughout the election cycle

ROFL. Even on foreign policy, Ron Paul is more conservative than McCain.

McCain on the DC gun ban ““The citizens of the nation’s capital do not enjoy the Right to Keep and Bear arms. That’s why I’ve co-sponsored legislation repealing the ban on firearms possession for law-abiding citizens in the District of Columbia. The Second Amendment is not just for rural Arizona; it’s for all of America.”

I am voting for McCain for president.

The article is incorrect on every point.

Please feel free to elaborate and support your argument.

It’s pathetic watching many conservatives act like petulent children having a tantrum because things aren’t going the way they would like. The same types who back in 1964 lambasted the liberal wing of the Republican Party for not supporting Goldwater.

...all those elected with the letter (R) after their name will be beat up if they don't get behind the (R) in the White House.

Or, more likely as Richardson testifies, they'll be run out of town and targeted for defeat in their next election.

Real Americans don't vote for Soros-funded liberals...even if they have an 'R' by their name!

I swear...these McCain supporters would be cheerleaders for Hillary if she switched parties.

“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” --Ronald Reagan

McCain has sold conservatives out time and time again to cozy up with liberals.

Now that the libs have used him to push conservatives out of the Republican nomination his usefulness is over and his democrat pals are starting to cut him loose.
They crossed over to vote for him in the primaries but everyone except MCCain and his McCainiac followers knows they will vote solidly democrat in November.

McCain will not have the liberal voters he sucked up to over the years and he won't have the conservative voters he has screwed for a living.

Maybe there is some justice once in a while.

The following is by Bill Press/Syndicated columnist and author.
He was also the chairman of the California Democratic Party from 1993 to 1996.

Bill Press: All Aboard the McCain Double Talk Express

"To all my friends, Democrats and Independents, who have told me they'd consider voting for John McCain in November, I have only two words.

PLEASE DON'T.

For the sake of God, country and Mother Theresa, wise up.

Now that it's clear he's going to be the Republican nominee for president, it's time to end our love affair with John McCain."

"McCain, as president, would stifle the voices of elected Republican leaders and try to legislate the conservative movement out of existence. "

OH My Goodness!!! I had no idea McCain would bring legislative power to the Executive Branch of our government. Yes, we must do everything we can to stop him.

Thank you, Ms. Obama 08, for pointing that out to us.

Good point. I've often wondered about these people who have stated that they'll vote for "whoever" the GOP nominates. By this logic, they would support Hillary Clinton, so long as she was the GOP nominee.

It's insanity.

Take your choice and remember just how long it took for Russia to recover after Lenin took over.

Well, it's not a Godwin, but it's pretty close.

Funded by Soros.
McCain-Feingold.
McCain-Kennedy.
McCain-Lieberman.
McCain-Edwards.
Pro-abortion (you can't be pro-life and still be in favor of federally-funded embryonic stem cell research)
Anti-Second Amendment.
Pro-Amnesty for foreign invaders.

And you think he's entitled to our vote? If you give that a pass, it's pretty clear that you'd cheerlead for Hillary if she just switched parties.
