McCains base IS moderates. He has them.
There are far more McCainocrats then there are Obamicans I read the other day.
Your a stubborn conservative.
I know the type.
Stay home or write in Ronald Reagan. You will feel clean and point the fingers at the rest of us.
the rest of us are going to get into the arena, get dirty, and stop a neo-socialist and traitorous party from taking the white house and this country over the cliff.....
52 Seconds explains it all.......

Good point, why is that?
There is more than one neo-socialist party in this country. Salud!
McCain has no base. Moderates will vote Dem in the end. But again thanks for letting me off the hook. Since I am not a member of Sen. McCain’s base, I need not feel guilty for not voting for him. Good deal!
Also, there is no need to insult Ronald Reagan who was a great president...unlike McCain who will never be president-deal with it.
Great post! The McCainiacs are endlessly entertaining...bless their hearts.
I voted for Dole. Perhaps if the Repubs had fielded a better candidate, it might have been different. I actually like Dole, but he was not a good candidate. I can’t hold my nose anymore. I could have voted for all the other candidates-some more enthusiastically than others, but not McCain.
When he loses, it will be our fault. Until then, they don’t need us. Even so, if you don’t vote for him, you’re not a real American. Makes sense to me.
This is true also...maybe we will get a conservative congress. I can hope...thanks for cheering me up.
Ditto for me.
I’m not happy about it either...it’s a sad day for the once great Republican Party-the party of men like Lincoln and Reagan.
My husband got banned briefly a couple of weeks ago...he doesn’t support McCain. One of the newbie McCainiacs sicked the moderator on him-claiming my husband supported Obama and was a troll. Yeah right. My husband considers Democrats to have some sort of mental disease. He had merely noted that Obama was a very good candidate and would most likely defeat McCain. After, the moderators looked into it, he was reinstated, but this is how it has been. Newbie McCainiacs lecturing conservatives on every thread. They are as charmless as their candidate.
I think he’ll pick either Sanford or Pace. Either is acceptable to both conservatives and McCain.
Well....I got mightily pissed at Chambliss and Isaakson when they first tried to foist McCain’s amnesty bill off on the citizens of Georgia (they changed their ‘tune’ pretty damn quick when they got bombarded, however). I’d since been thinking about whether I was ever gonna vote for either of them again....I guess this clinches it for me with respect to these two.
Conversely, RINOs are RINOs are RINOs, and that is what real conservatives are no longer choosing to accept......
I hope RINO McAmnesty's gophers are lurking on this thread to see what conservatives think of him.
But all we probably have are his koolaid drinkers.
Tell him to look up the word Whigs.
He might pick up a clue in the eerie parallel to todays hot button issue of immigration...
The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories.
With deep fissures in the party on this question, the anti-slavery faction successfully prevented the nomination of its own incumbent President Fillmore in the U.S. presidential election of 1852; instead, the party nominated General Winfield Scott, who was soundly defeated.
The voter base defected to the Republican Party, various coalition parties in some states, and to the Democratic Party.
There is a saying that McCain's head of hispanic outreach, Juan Hernandez, is fond of quoting: "Si se puta!" - yes, we can.
> McCain gains with moderates though whatever he loses with stubborn conservatives.
If you believe that, then why are you having this discussion at all?
Just go on your way, secure in the knowledge that McCain will breeze through to an astounding win in November, and we will go our way on this conservative forum.
Hey, we agree!
Now go here http://www.GOP.com where the real republicans gather the cheerleader drones and we will remain here on this conservative - not republican - forum.
Take the word "Whigs" with you.
“McCain is the one that criticized Alito and said he might not vote for him because “he wore his conservatism on his sleeve.”
