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.
Vote for him. He is exactly what a conservative is these days, Friend.

Perhaps the McCainiacs need a hotline to call so they can spew their venom at us. Sort of like Sean Hannity’s “Hate Hannity Hotline”. That way, they can vent their spleen and maybe feel better about themselves. I think it would be therapeutic, and can avoid threads like this one.
In the fine McCain tradition of shutting down free speech when the speech exposes you, hats off to McCain/Feingold and later his full support of the “Fairness Doctrine”.
You can say “SHUT Your Stinking TRAP!” legally then. And you helped. You make McCain so proud........RINO’s everywhere, and so many who vote like good little GOP robots!
No more ILLEGAL immigrants, lets just make them all legal!
He TRIED to fix that problem, and will if we only make him president.
I don’t hate McCain. I’m just concerned he would be a disaster as president. The article listed none of my concerns. McCain favors massive taxpayer subsidies for illegal aliens. McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts and voted against them and only now when he is campaigning does he say he was wrong. McCain supports massive carbon offset taxes to fight global warming which is a scam. McCain undermined the attempt to appoint conservative judges by helping to create the “gang of 14”. I sincerely hope McCain will admit he was wrong and change his views. He has done this to a small degree on McCain-Kennedy and tax cuts but it still worries me that he would be a terrible president.
yes I do respect his being a war hero
He is NOT a conservative he is not even a moderate republican.
He is left on so many issues to make him almost completely unpalatable....
....his only saving grace is that his 2 opponents are so damn communistic as to make McCain look like Barry Goldwater in comparison.
but please...don’t make him out to be any better than he is....
Hey, go for it. Please add my name to your list. Thank you.
Haha. MMMM, delicious!
New Republican campaign slogan?
That’s the way to win hearts & minds...

Vote for McCain and hope he rises to the occasion on some important issuers. Or don't, and hope the ensuing all-Dem all-the-time nightmare produces a Reaganesque reactionary hero years down the road, and that the Dem damage hasn't been irreparable. I'm voting for McCain.

I don’t hate McCain, but conservative, ethical, honest, and decent he is not. Just because he is least of the worst, does not mean I have to like, agree with, or support him. He’s nothing more than the turd that floated to the top of the bowl.
There is not much alternative at this point. Grousing about the clear nominee does nothing of any use to anybody. Maybe they have their own candidate and maybe their own candidate will get enough votes in Nov to rate somthing more than a goose egg, but probably not. It’s the world, and it’s not perfect as we were told it should be when we were three years old.
...you talk to. ;^)
