One of my convictions is actually getting something done, as opposed to making a lot of noise while the country burns. I can’t do that with Barr, or anyone other than McCain.

Somebody FINALLY got the reference. I was wondering if there were any Lebowski fans around here... The cleaned-up version of Walter Sobchak’s rant is more hysterical and insane sounding than the f-word rant. It cracks me up every time I hear it.

I haven’t noticed your tagline until now, for some reason. The dude abides.

Bob Barr is very conservative, and isn't going to allow the borders to be open, or going to have a Gang of 14 choosing Judicial Nominees.

That much, I think, is true. The only thing I have against Bob Barr is the idea of not finishing what we started in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the whole nexus of issues around the GWOT. I believe him to be wrong in that regard, at least to the extent that I have read.

I don't know how that can be squared with a true Conservative sense. He must meet all three pillars of Conservatism squarely, or I am afraid I cannot lend him my support. But I am willing to be convinced.

It is worth considering. He was EXCELLENT during the Clinton Impeachment period. I will say that.

Yes, it is, and yes, he was.

In order to make lemonade that's fit to drink you need to add sweetener. Where is that sweetener going to come from to make the lemon (McCain)palatable? His choice for VP? We will see...

The VP choice is generally meaningless. What will matter with McCain will be his SCOTUS picks. To ensure he picks Constitutionalists, pressure must be applied by the conservatives at every turn. That pressure will take the form of backing or not backing his legislative proposals.

With Hillary and Obama, SCOTUS choices will be Marxists with no allegiance to the Constitution.

No, I am sorry I must disagree, its NOT more complicated than that, it is very simple. A president WILL be elected in Nov. We have 3 choices before us and McCain is the best of those 3 choices. He isn't good and he wasn't my first choice but he is better than the other 2. You can sit by and allow one of the others to be in office for 4/8 years or you can vote for the best alternative.

I don't want another clinton and obama is unthinkable so I am voting for McCain.

I couldn't vote for McCain, under any condition.

I'd hate to lose Barbour as my governor, if he went for the V.P. under McCain, but I don't think he'd take it.

I'm not nuts about Barr, but I can vote for him. I originally wanted Duncan Hunter, then when he dropped out, when to Fred, then to Romney. But when Romney dropped out, I couldn't stomach McCain, I'd vote for Hillary or Obama over McCain. But when I noticed Barr getting into the race, I perked up.

I'd like to see the GOP not get one penny in donations because of McCain. The GOP can eat McCain and die!!!

The only thing McCain's going to get done ... is to increase the power of the Democrats, and he'll laugh at the Republicans while he does it.

It wouldn't surprise me if, after he's elected, he declares himself a Democrat, after being sworn into office.

I believe that Barr was hired by the ACLU just to destroy his credibility with the conservatives.

He might be singing the Libertarian Party's position, just to get their nomination, which also destroys his credibility.

But Barr's actions while he was in office was starkly conservative, and I believe he'd finish the job in the middle east only with victory.

What's McCain going to do in the Persian Gulf? What's Mr "No Torture and Close Gitmo" going to do in the War on Terror? McCain's afraid to confront Obama, he's suddenly going to be a tiger in the Persian Gulf? What has McCain said to indicate that he recognizes what the threat is, where it comes from and how to fight it?

I'm just asking, I don't know. All I know is that McCain legitimized the far, far Leftwing in their "US tortures" meme and want to give terrorists captured on the battlefield access to US Courts.

Where's the indication that McCain has a clue? In practice, it is not clear, how different McCain would be from Hillary. There's a clearer case against Obama. But it's NOT clear, what McCain supports?

You've got to face reality, none of the three major candidates are good on the war. Heck, in my view, I think Bush is wimping out on the war.

Then tell me when the 'unimportant' election will be: Maybe the one after this one, when we are up to our eyeballs in Iran and Sudan? Or the one after that, when we're kickin Muzzies out of Europe?

So all us Conservatives are supposed to just toe the line and vote Big (R), allowing the traitorous Globalist Republicans a free pass on every other thing?

It is time for the RINOs, and the defcons (to a lesser degree) to understand that such as you desire is not going to come to pass. Why that is, is because the other pillars of Conservatism are not being served.

If you had endorsed a Reaganite as the nominee, this impasse would not have occurred- We would have no need to worry about our sovereignty and our borders. We would not have to worry about so called 'free trade'. We would not have to worry about back room deals with liberals.

As it turns out, this war is the means to nefarious ends for the Globalists. Those who will vote for the war above all other concerns are doing precisely as expected- becoming the useful tools of those betraying us.

You were warned. You were pleaded with. You all knew where the lines were. Now it is our fault somehow? You have made your bed. Now lie in it.
