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.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have a family member on this list, Donald L. Harrison. The fact that he is on this list is the reason I am struggling with the issue of having to vote for John McCain. There is no way I can vote for Clinton or Obama - but how can I vote for McCain knowing that he and John Kerry were instrumental in literally “sending these missing men up the river”? I still have some of the recordings of the POW/MIA hearings on tape. I’ve been slapping my hands to keep from watching them again. It was hard enough the first time while watching the hearings on TV. Perhaps it’s much easier for young people who did not live through the Vietnam War to think that McCain is a good and honorable man. I have no hard feelings against McCain when it is about his own experience as a POW. But, I do have very strong feelings about the issue of ignoring the fact that there were men left behind long after he was able to return to his life in the US. My family member did not have that choice. And, to this day, we still do not know what happened to Donald Leigh Harrison. I suspect we never will.
Yeah, but if we follow your logic we are likely to end up stuck with this sort of a Hobsons choice every election. Because if we elect McCain then the liberal wing of the party will know that they were right all along and we will vote for any liberal Republican provided the democrat he is running against is even more liberal.
“elections allowed independants and CROSSOVER DIMS. And by then, it was over, a done deal, ship it. Ninety-five percent of our electorate had no say.”
Here in lays our biggest problem. Which seems to be over looked by the infighting. Laws need to be changed as soon as possible to prevent a repeat. (I am one of the 95% that didn’t get my vote heard since the primary hasn’t happened yet in my state.)
We may not have the same end voting plan on this election but I hope All conservatives will join together and fight for our right to our Freedoms.
I think that is when we make an organized, well published and financially backed mass movement to a third party. We should think about doing it now.
I believe that the three people that I assume you are referring to- Thunderthighs, Barak (unspeakable) Obama, and our very own McCain have a 90-95% chance of being the group that our next president is chosen from. HOWEVER, I believe that the traitor party might have a broken/brokered convention, which might open the possibilities up to algore or barbara streisand or ???. The Republican convention is yet to be held. If massive witholding of financial support occurs, McCain might have a problem. But then, he might have some unconventional support in the future.
AMEN!
Calling people who disagree on principle with others “haters” has that DU-Daily Kos ring to it.
So I reject being called a “hater” because McCain has a liberal record on taxes, immigraton, free speech etc.
I’ll honestly look at this election and if McCain does something wrong, I will disagree.
My best hope is that IF he is lucky enough to win, he will take us the least to the left. He is already talking about international consensus, reaching across the aisle, and the pond for approval of our national priorities. BHO and thunderthighs, of course, will destroy our country.
I DON’T HATE McCAIN
What I hate is what he stands for. Tony Snow said it best, “The democrats are not your friends”. And .. Tony had to be in a position to really understand that statement.
For McCain to choose most of his friends from the democrat side of the isle is just too much for me. He’s deluding himself if he thinks he can change them .. and most of the time he doesn’t even want to do that .. because he JOINS THEM IN THEIR STUPID CRUSADES for stuff that really hurts America.
What I hate is that I will be forced to vote for him in order to keep the Clinton/Obama nightmare from happening.
And .. what is it with you people that every time we disagree with McCain - WE ARE ALWAYS TOLD WE HATE HIM. I think you all are pushing the envelope on that one.
For EACH TIME you post such pablum of RINO apologetics in support of McCain in the form of a new FR vanity thread, I will do my utmost to turn out one more individual to the polls in November to vote AGAINST him (as well as which of the other two dolts head the (D) ticket.
Keep postin! Hugs and Kisses, ;-)
Yah, Mccain is responsible for shooting down POWs and MIAs like it was Bush’s fault that the WTC was attacked.
Wrong enemy.
I AM going to suggest, though, that you SHUT IT.
Hugs,
Get off your moral high horse.
If McCain cared one whit about his country, he wouldn't have pandered to the likes of Pelosi, Reid and Kennedy, and rammed that friggin' Shamnesty crap down everyone's throats or given Constitutional rights to the vermin trying to kill you, me and everyone else in this country.
Maybe you need to take a step back from the bong pipe and join the rest of us in reality.
If there ever was one recurring theme, it is this: Everyone knows BHO and Hillary will screw up big time, and by the same token, they're "hoping" McCain doesn't.
Hah hah hah, that is SO funny!
I just saw that movie on TCM, what an apt analogy!
Ed
You will be begging God to somehow give Bush a third term.
You're right about that. Montana's GOP had it's caucus on Feb 5th, whereby the state's party bigwigs in the GOP got to vote, and those like myself had to stay home and wait for the results. The Montana GOP effectively disenfranchised every single GOP vote in this state that, by large extension, is trending Democrat.
I just have to say, that the Montana GOP is about as inept and incompetent as the national party.
