The Gipper got it right, as usual.
Unlike your stance, I do believe the Gipper had it right. He was more conservative than the Democrats and he had a viable alternative that was more conservative, the Republicans.
On the other hand if you don't feel the Republicans are Conservative enough what viable alternative do you have that might be as productive as the Gippers switch to the Republicans?
The answer ....... NONE
I'll stand by what I said.
and Ronald Reagan, NOMINATED O’Connor & Kennedy.
Of course, but the McCainics are saying to us that we must rvote foe him because he will put forth conservative judges, and I am pointing out that his record on this is not ... good.
Reagan had a ton of other qualities and stood on his own merits. - He didn’t have supporters that whined that we had to vote for him because he wasn’t as bad as the other guy.
“how un-realistic it would be to just “enforce the law”.”
Oh, not only are we supposed to bow down to the Gop elephant, but now it’s “un-realistic to enforce the law”?
You McCain lovers, (Not You, Calcowgirl), are real good at pulling boogeymen out of the closet to scare people so they will back this Rino POS. Well here’s a scary story for all of you. If ANY of the three top contenders get into office, say hello to 30,000,000 new liberal, welfare sucking, un-American, citizens.
And you have dreams for “another day” for any Conservative party, after that influx. Dream on. We all better hold the Gop’s feet directly to the fire for an alternative, or this is it.
FYI, I never had a candidate but I would have voted for more than half of those running in the primary. McCain, however, didn't make the cut. McCain, as a Republican, can do more damage in advancing the liberal agenda than a democrat facing strong opposition.
You can whine and call others names all you want. I doubt it will do you much good.
Actually I am not trying to change your mind, I think I have about as much chance of doing that as reasoning with a granite block.
I would also submit to you that I am not whining or calling names. I am simply discussing the actions of some people who choose to not participate and then put some high flying, faulty reasoning on their decision to whine. See I think the people knocking McCain are the whiners, big time. Especially those that want to pick up their marbles and run home.
In reality in the long run the Republican Party may be better off without conservatives, like you apparently are, that are fair weather Republicans that sulk when they don't get their way.
As to McCain doing more harm to the Republican Party that Obama or Hillary, that is a cop out for folks like you who need an excuse.pAgain I'm not trying to change your mind or whine, I'm simply letting you know in what contempt I hold the opinion you are expressing.
Have a good day.
“Because we are talking about McCain, not Obama, and if you are trying to tell me that McCain is going to put forth better judges than Ginsburg, I am going to look at his record of nominating ... judges”
_____________________________________________________
Neither McCain nor Obama have ‘nominated’ judges; as Senators they don’t have that perogative. However, you won’t have to go very far back to find that Obama voted against both Roberts and Alito, whereas McCain voted for, and strongly supported, both of them.
As for “changing subjects” you must be losing track of the conversation. It’s exactly the point I made in my initial post which you objected to.
“...Kicking conservatives to the curb and religious cleansing of the Repub party are the Billy crowd’s longtime obsession...”
Maybe so, but I have a feeling that the moving companies in D.C. will be working 24 hours a day 7 days a week after the general election. Moving Republicans back to their home states and districts.
>>>if McCain/Huckabee ran as a ticket, they would be unbeatable.
Who wants a Christian Califate run by a leftist military dictator?
Why not nominate GOP leadership that will shut down the borders and reduce government? And, make them young and attractive so they can compete for the younger voters against callow Osama Obama.
crybabies ... spoiled children ...
Goes to credibility, your honor. The witness has none.
See I think the people knocking McCain are the whiners, big time. Especially those that want to pick up their marbles and run home.
See above.
McCain is the right man for the times. Strong on cutting spending and strong on national defense
"Strong on cutting spending"? Ha ha, stop you're killing me. McCnutts amnesty will be the largest tax earmark in history.
"Strong on defense"? Why isn't this powerful Senator doing anything other than talking about closing the border during a time of war? He could be helping himself by doing something now.
"McCain is the right man for the times"?
How much are you McCain supporters donating to his campaign?
McCnutts is going nowhere without the support of the Conservatives he shiites on daily.

Kind of cute, but meaningless.
Describing one's actions is certainly not calling names. Acting like crybabies and spoiled children is an apt description of people letting us know loudly they are not going to vote for McCain.
Pointing that out is not whining but just describing the event.
Credibility? Let me see the so called base here that calls McCain, McLame among other things certainly lacks credibility, address this to them.
But mostly just understand again that I'm just describing the actions of some here, if it fits you and it bothers you that's just kind of tough!
In a word...yes (except for a few idiots).
Yep, a picture’s worth a thousand words.
Your use of the word "support" is a far reach. McCain is the one that criticized Alito and said he might not vote for him because "he wore his conservatism on his sleeve."
Yep, some say that. They're liars.
Agreed,It would not hurt my feelings to see both of “our” senators go down to defeat in their next elections.They are what is wrong with the republican party that I used to belong to.
You’re right, I think.
But Obama says we should have hope, so here’s hoping McCain will pick a conservative.
‘Course, McCain says Hillary! would make a good President.
I may very well vote for her, since she has his endorsement.
