By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how it’s a free country and they have a 1st Amendment right, etc. to yammer on and on about how bad McCain sucks, totally missing the point of my post, again. But I’m here to tell you, in this free country, that in my opinion, you should SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP! To all you ingrates, rageaholics, and self-absorbed punks, WE KNOW YOU HATE MCCAIN. You can give yourself a rest now and stop posting on every single thread the same exact comments. I’m not going to name names, but I will if I have to. I think we all know by now who I’m talking about. The folks who post the same pictures and the same comments on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. We got it. You aren’t voting for McCain. Fine. Time to move on. Yes, that’s my opinion. You have had enough time to accept the reality that John Sidney McCain III, WAR HERO, is the Republican nominee. Some folks on FR have used this time to learn more about Johnny, realize that he isn’t as bad as they thought, grow up, act like adults, and get in gear to vote for him. Some of you have decided not only to beat your collective dead horse everyday, banging out the same tiresome gripes about McCain on every thread, but you’ve also gotten increasingly VITRIOLIC. I’m talking about the following trash:
1. Saying McCain isn’t really a war hero because (insert stupid lie here.)
2. Declaring that McCain urged the U.S. government to leave other POWs back in Vietnam (for what reason would he do this exactly? Don’t bother, I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.)
3. Insulting other FR posters who like or support Johnny by using profanity, vulgarity, and name calling. YOU ARE DIMINISHING FR with your hostile posts—this kind of stuff belongs on low rent leftie sites like DU, or Daily Kos, not FREE REPUBLIC, the shining star of conservative websites.
4. AND FINALLY, the filthiest load in the McCain Haters’ verbal trebuchet: wishing, hoping or praying that John Sidney McCain III would come to some misfortune which would prevent him from living to be President. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DISGUSTING. How can you wish that a decent, G-d fearing man who suffered and sacrificed out of love for this country, who, BY THE GRACE OF G-D, survived five years of torture and imprisonment only to return to service in the military—how could you wish him anything but a long, long life? Shameful. And don’t DARE try to suggest that you are any better in moral character or principle than the angry liberal scum who wish ill upon President Bush or our troops. If your definition of “conservative” is to rage daily and most repulsively against our next President, then please call me a “right wing Reaganite traditionalist” because I want no part of your scene. I realize that some talk show hosts like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity don’t like Johnny, but I don’t recall hearing them praying for his untimely demise. No, that is the talk of the dregs of society, not adults who have their act together.
And just a heads up to all the McCain haters: I am ignoring your tirades henceforth. I can’t stop you from posting your garbage, but I certainly don’t have acknowledge it. Basically, the point of posts from people who like Johnny these days is to share daily news: tracking polls, statements he has made, who he is touring with, speeches he has given, leaders he has met with, etc. What is YOUR point? To seek out people to commiserate with? To insult fellow conservatives who’ve decided having a responsible leader in a time of war trumps giving the GOP a spanking? To try and rally others to joins the haters camp?
Are you going to do this for the next several years? If so, the best advice I can give to the non-haters is to wade through the rage and seek out the decent and the productive on FR. Do not waste your time debating the haters, because they seem to thrive on self-righteousness and rage. Try as they might, they have given absolutely no GOOD reason to allow a dem to win the presidency. Their continued daily rantings about why they hate McCain, on EVERY thread about him, only serve to define their insanity.
I seek out those of like mind. G-d Bless John Sidney McCain III.
P.S. McCain haters, please review the link in order to familiarize yourselves with the sound of Skank's voice so you can hear his directive in your head when you are about to post something vile.
Alright, Shryke...I stand corrected, thanks.
I do wish we would all chill out. I hate reading bad attitudes and hate from anybody, whether from one side or the other side. It makes the reading of political discourse and discussions unpleasant, and doesn’t solve anything.

Fair enough. Sorry for the comment.
Thanks. I should know better by now!
You mean his ACU rating, I assume. Trouble is, that's his lifetime rating, and Father Time has been in the Senate for quite awhile. His recent ratings are nowhere near that; something like 62% or so.
THANK YOU!
I just disagree w/ Sinister Juan “Keating Five / Queeq” McCranky....no more / less.
It is not the same thing at all.
McGovern was a REAL war hero. Didn't you know?
Google it.
I don’t have a problem with disagreement over what she wrote. She was angry and maybe let her emotions get the better part of her.
What I don’t condone is how the “men” of this site have decided to treat her. She is not only a long time FReeper but a committed activist who has generously given of her time and effort not only to this site, but to conservative causes in general.
The treatment of her is repugnant.
Fat chance of that.
Just thought I’d join the party. I’m resigned to the fact that John McCain is our nominee, I’m certainly not thrilled. I’ll vote for him in November, more to keep the Dems out of office than to put him in. But either way, regardless of his MANY shortcomings as a self-styled “conservative,” he’s still light years better than either Hillary or Obama. I have no real choice.
Hello Guen!

Hmmmm....”Shut Your Trap”....is your “leader” giving you orders now? First it was “calm down”, now it’s “shut up”.
YOU are telling CONVERVATIVES on a CONSERVATIVE website to shut up about a RINO at best? Are you serious?
Oh wait....aren’t you the one who “cried” at his last you tube release?
There's a ____________________ for McCain and the Dems will keep flinging crap against the wall until they find it.
When they do find it, McCain will snap like a dried out twig and it'll look just like this thread.
I like to rant once in awhile, but this is beginning to look like another “zapper” thread.
(now throw in some “open border” types and I’ll really be ranting!)
1st I just read the title and not any of the crap.
2nd You have not responded to anyone.
3rd Kiss my butt Squat Shot.
So that's only allowed when it's a female doing it?
That’s the kind of response I would expect from an FR poser...a loudmouthed, snarky do-nothing who thinks he is a big man when he is on his keyboard.
When you actually get out and do something that makes a difference, let me know. Until then you are dead weight pulling the rest of us down.
