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.

My friend puts cinammon in drinks because he says it lowers his blood sugar. He’s diabetic, so I guess that’s what he’s trying to do.

You want a piece of her, you gotta go through me first.
Pussies.
reporting for duty, sir!
OK, After this election, I would like to see ALL conservatives
fight for a GOOD CONSERVATIVE. Work together, start propping him/her up, getting that persons name out in public. Get that person ready for the next election. We need to AGREE with one and not let DEMs mess with us again.
Now, continue the infighting....
We will always have a choice between liberals and idiots as long as we continue to support candidates like McCain. Yes, we had better choices, but for some reason the Republican voters went for McCain. Well, the Republicans can slit their own throats if they want, but they will have to do it without me. It is not that I am so righteous, it is just that I can’t stand compromising my beliefs any longer. Either a person stands for something or he/she doesn’t. In other words, I am not going to do anymore whoring for the GOP.
It’s a free country, and I have a 1st Amendment right to say that I don’t like McCain. So what was your point? (Because I didn’t make it past your second sentence.)
Compare the status of freedom today with what it was fifty or more years ago. That is what you type of reasoning has led to.
“By all means, criticize McCains policies, his governmental record. But do it dispassionately and accurately.”
You make some good points.
Here goes:
I oppose McCain because he has betrayed the Republican Party and conservatives at every step in recent years.
I oppose McCain because he takes large sums of money from an enemy of my country and our Constitution, George Soros.
I oppose John McCain because he has NO regard for the God-given and therefore unalienable rights to life and liberty, and because he is at the forefront of those who are eviscerating the Bill of Rights.
I oppose John McCain because he is trying to reward tens of millions of foreign nationals who have invaded my country with one of the most precious possessions any human being can have: American citizenship - thereby destroying my nation’s sovereignty and the rule of law, and creating a demographic, economic and political nightmare that my children may never recover from.
I oppose John McCain because he loves my enemies and hates me and my friends.
I oppose John McCain because he cynically lies and panders to naive citizens, all the while laughing his ass off at them with his leftwing buddies in politics and the press.
I oppose John McCain because he gives support to the global socialists and their grab for complete power through the propagation of the global warming myth.
I oppose John McCain because he helped give new life to the Law of the Sea Treaty, which will greatly damage my country and its sovereignty, while giving UN bureaucrats taxing authority for the very first time ever, and massive control over a majority of the earth’s surface. All with no accountibility or reference to constitutional self-government.
I could go on.
Accurate enough for you?
Any of that you care to take issue with or refute?
Says a lot about FR too.
It doesn’t take much to amuse you.
I stand for the United States having a qualified C-in-C instead of a defeatist moron. That's enough for me. If you want to talk to people about selling out conservatism, go talk to someone who voted for McCain in their primary. I didn't.
Exactly. If McCain somehow gets elected what are the chances of ever getting a more (meaning actual) conservative GOP candidate for POTUS in the future? The bar is being consistently lowered.
Thanks. But as you probably know, this is Free Republic. We’ve all seen McCain’s ACA rating, and over the last 10 years, it ain’t close to 82%. The fact that he was Conservative in 1989 means nothing to me now. NOW he is slightly more Conservative than the Democrats, only they haven’t successfully attacked the First Amendment like McCain has. I get it. I’m done voting for liberals, regardless of what party affiliation is by their name. You go ahead and settle, I can’t anymore. Too many mirrors in my house.
I was simply wondering if there could be a Day in the Life of John McCain thread where we could post pictures and articles without the hate.
I hate the hate.
I hate the whiiiiiiiining.
I am so sick of it I could throw up all over You People.
I don’t hate McCain. But then, I don’t hate Obama or Clinton, either. I just won’t vote for any one of them. I couldn’t give a damn who wins this election.

I have news for you. Pro-McCain trolls are dishing out at least as much “profanity, vulgarity, and name calling” as McCain bashers.
A vote for McCain is a vote to convince candidates that conservatives can be taken for granted and are irrelevant. I suppose that is a message some would like to send. Others would like conservatism to be considered relevant.
Two more things:
“Shut your trap”
and
“you people”
are not the best ways to convince others that your point of view is the correct one. Insults never work and you alienate your freeper peers by using these terms.
If this puts me on your list.. so be it.
I will never shut my trap online... unless McCain gets free speech shut down on the internet, which he has tried. Then I guess I will be going to jail or awful dang sneaky in how I post.
“Fight on fellow Freepers! But be nice and smile while you do it! We need to win people over and we can’t do it by lookin’ like a bunch of radical lunatic.............. “
Where could I’ve read this ?
I was far from happy when Mccain locked up the nomination , but look at the other choices . Easy pick . Should we vote obama in, or not vote and let him walk in ?
Will there be a third party run ?
