Leave John Alone or else!

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.
Actually McCain is opposed to the First Amendment.
You go Cinnamon Girl!
Translation: I’m with you.

“Why don’t you just go ahead and make a Day in the Life thread for him? I didn’t know there was a block on negative comments on the DITL threads for President Bush. I just thought people weren’t using that thread to vent their problems with him.”
Speaking for myself, I have no problem steering clear of DITL threads for Sen. McCain. But it’s Jim Rob’s website and his mods. Whether to set aside the bandwidth and enforce a no-criticism policy on those threads is his call. He could set up a bug zapper thread if he wanted. It’s his website.
You might want to be careful what you wish for. The idea of a leading conservative website setting aside threads where conservatives can’t criticize the GOP nominee for President will be viewed with no small amount of irony. If not outright mirth.
gang of 14.....
McCain-Feingold
No Child allowed to be ahead.....
take yer pick.....
You may have spent all your money at the snake oil wagon, unspun, but I’m not buying. your weasel in sheep’s clothing makes McCain look like George Washington.
There, fixed it.
Your first post to me said, in effect, “all of them are evil”, referring to politicians then you quote Ronald Reagan.
Was he “evil”, too? It seems that that is what you were trying to say.
I’m still trying to resolve that obvious contradiction unless you do believe that he was evil.
Never mind your next lecture to me.
I’ll never, and I repeat, never vote for a democrat/liberal/left-wing/socialist or maybe outright communist/totalitarian. The slashes between them have become very clouded or non-existent. Of the three remaining, they all fall into the category of democrat/liberal/left-wing/socialist or maybe outright communist/totalitarian, which, as far as I am concerned, are synonyms, no matter their political affiliation or what they choose to call themselves.
I repeat, when people vote for the “lesser-of-two-evils” then they have guaranteed that they are going to get evil, no matter how they want to rationalize or justify their position.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is just not an option for me. It’s unfortunate that we have to disagree but that’s just life.
Once again, I will be happy to pull McCain’s knife out of your back. If he is elected it won’t take long so just let me know when.
Well, I decided I could not commit myself to doing it on a daily basis, but I might do a Week in the Life Thread if Jim approved.
This would hardly abridge anyone’s free speech since people manage to get anti-McCain comments on at least every other thread that is posted on FR.
Probably even on the doggie threads. i.e. either McCain is mean to his dog, or McCain doesn’t even have the decency to have a dog.
I know a lot of people on this site disagree with the President or don’t like him, but we do have the Day in the Life Thread where those people are discouraged (or outright forbidden) to come and disrupt.
If you can’t bear the thought of one thread where you can’t post your dislike, it’s pretty pathetic.
But it would be up to Jim and I have not contacted him about it yet.
Thanks for the reminder. Are you going through the whole list of those who McLame wrote off? He needs a reminder of his perfidy!
He used to smoke eh?
Marlboros of course....my old brand.
that I do like about him.
I know having McCain be President will suck, which is why I opposed him in the primaries. But I also know he is actually qualified for the job and his opponents aren't qualified to be dogcatchers. I have friends who will serve in combat under the next president, and so I have little use for your pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.
Leave John Alone or else!
lol...dang....
true
Then tell her to get back on her meds. She’s gone stark, staring LOONIE!
“McCain is the only one running for the office of president who is not a raving lunatic stalinist.”
Oops. You seem to have put the “not” in the wrong place... allow me to correct this for you:
“McCain is NOT the only one running for the office of president who is a raving lunatic stalinist.”
McLame is responsible for shutting down the inquiries that MAY HAVE GOTTEN BACK ALIVE some of my missing brothers. THAT part IS HIS FAULT. (And don’t forget it was a REPUBLICAN administration that wrote off over 2000 MIAs so that di*kheaded secretary of state whose name I don’t even want to recall (Henry the K) could get his Nobel Peace Prize. Republicans like those two we are far better off were they not still wasting my air.)
Cinnamon Girl. Hmmmm where have I seen that handle before?
I remember! You have the set of 34-C’s that are in the top 20 on rate my rack dot com!
My hat’s off to you.
