By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how its 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 Im 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. Im not going to name names, but I will if I have to. I think we all know by now who Im talking about. The folks who post the same pictures and the same comments on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. We got it. You arent voting for McCain. Fine. Time to move on. Yes, thats 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 isnt 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 youve also gotten increasingly VITRIOLIC. Im talking about the following trash:
1. Saying McCain isnt 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? Dont bother, I dont 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 poststhis 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 militaryhow could you wish him anything but a long, long life? Shameful. And dont 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 dont like Johnny, but I dont 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 cant stop you from posting your garbage, but I certainly dont 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 whove 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.
"Okay, enough. I've had it. One more *$@&#!ing proxy error, and I fly out to Fresno and take a hammer to the servers."
“You can post whatever you want (if JR doesnt ban you), “
Why on earth would I be banned if I didn’t do anything wrong? If you weren’t “threatening” anything, what exactly were you talking about? Please....do tell.
I voted for Bush because I had no other choice. The next time I vote it won’t be because the Republican Party’s FEAR tactics have worked again. We may lose but I’ll be dammed if I vote for McCain.
Another thing..You’re not big enuff, smart enuff, rich enuff or old enuff to tell me to shut up.
I haven’t been around to see the posts you are referring to but do add my name to that “List”. Sounds like a great group of people.
I think there are many for whom their particular "conservatism" has become a kind of religion, like liberalism, progressivism, socialism, environmentlism and feminism are quasi-religions with others.
For such folk, someone who is not their version of an orthodox, doctrinaire conservative is as dangerous as a liberal. Corrupting and leeching influences, don't you know.
I think it is probably that numerous such people are attracted to a good conservative site such as FR. What does one do try to get religionists to be real? If I knew that well, I might have become an actual pastor. ;-)
Welcome to the Conservative “list”. It’s a damn shame we need a list, especially on FR.
McCain is a socialist.
I was talking about the former Freepers who were “disappeared” for supporting Guliani. I don’t have the power to ban anybody, nor did I threaten to ban you. Can you understand?
You would.
I will gladly vote for him over either Hillary! or Obama.
Is it just me, or do I feel another ‘Purge’ coming on?
It dawns on this poster, watching this back and forth:
This is the American conservative version, of Sunni vs. Shia.
Fact is, we’re more alike than different.
But the animosity, because of egos, face and principle, escalates.
It is not religion. It is called principle and backbone.
What is a conservative if he has neither?
A McCain supporter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do the right thing and vote for a real conservative. It is time to hop down off of the lap of the GOP.
Oh, I do understand. At NO point did I EVER support rudy, so your point is moot.
I see that when a conservative decides to vote for a RINO, the conservative becomes a Democrap.
Since we don't have enough controversy, brown Rice
...or white Rice?
“I have a hunch this thread is going to be a treasure trove for my “potential McCain bumper sticker” list.”
Yeah, this one’s gonna be a keeper.
You can't handle the truth.
The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
It's a matter of record not opinion and it wasn't just Vietnam POWs and MIAs it was all vets past, present and future.
In the meantime, I have three words for those who believe they will save America with a heroic stand against the horrible beast McCain: Pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.
