BTW - I have errands to run this afternoon, I’ll let this thread find it’s own way and be ack later tonight.
Has he given the No Amnesty, Deport Pledge yet?
I’m in the second group and voted for Fred in my state primary. I will vote for McCain to try to keep the Dems out of the WH, but in all fairness, I do have a lot of empathy with those in the 3rd group. I do understand how they feel and why they are doing what they are doing. Holding to principle is admirable. I am more of a Reaganite, I guess, in that I’ll take what I can get and continue to work hard for the rest, while fighting the worst of the left.
Its ok. There are many prodigal sons on FRee Republic. When they return home in August or October the fatted calf will be killed and there will be rejoicing.
Their absence will not be brought up as the joy of their return is celebraated. The family knows they have their reasons for the absence and thats all that need be brought up.
The savor of victory in the offing will replace the bitter taste of primary defeat in the spring.
Which way would you rather die, a bullet to the head or an arrow in the stomach? Either way, your gonna die. Take your pick.
If you elect McCain as President, he will define conservatism. I am not willing to allow conservatism to mean: pro-amnesty, pro-human-caused Global Warming, anti-first amendment, pro-terrorists-have-civil-rights or any of the other left-wing quackery John McCain has embraced over the years.
I also don’t see why I should be expected to be more loyal to the republican party than the candidate we nominated for President.
bump!
They will no more admit this than a cold war red will admit Hiss was a soviet agent. The reason is the same - personal statements of their own are on the line. The farther out they went in slandering McCain, the less capable they are of swallowing any of it and voting for him anyway.
It is a fool's errand trying to convince any of them. Just point out that no one need follow them and they are free to take themselves off in a huff and be as silly as they like. Simple. Also, it is so last week by now, nobody cares what they think.
He cannot please Conservatives while in office and will have one term only. Thereby giving us 8 future years of a Liberal Democrat presidency.
who has the “Aw Geez! not this crap again” picture ?
For the conservatives out there who are not going to vote for McCain, you do realize that if McCain loses in November that the Republican establishment and the MSM are going to blame conservatives for the loss. I hope the establishment is not viewing conservatives the way the Dems view blacks in that they’ll vote for us no matter what because there is no way they’ll vote for the other party.
I imagine you're first reaction will be "ACK!"
(disclaimer: Just read the content of your comment in the top of the thread, maybe you are already "ack")
:>)
Naw...McCain can’t win...One thing you guys have taught me is ‘don’t waste your vote on a candidate who can’t win’...So I won’t...
I’m not voting for McCain because I said I wouldn’t, and I always keep my word. AFAIC Obama has the job already won, so it doesn’t matter whether I vote or not. I will vote for the “conservative” candidates on the local/state level, and leave the presidency up to the good Lord. I think He may have plans for giving America her justice.
I understand, especially after Tuesday’s debate, just how awful the opposition is. Looking at the number of votes cast in each primary its clear that the democratic base is on fire for Obama. The larger problem is that the republicans are not united. Some suggest that a Obama win in November will unite the republicans against a common foe. Well unity would be a welcome sight after the last 7 years of Bush hating, free spending by a republican congress. See this is about the kind of country my granddaughter will be left with. God help us.
With respect,
