BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (Reuters) - Memo to disappointed women supporters of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton: Republican John McCain wants your vote.

McCain, the senator from Arizona who has wrapped up his party's White House nomination, moved on Wednesday to woo women and other Clinton backers whose disappointment over her defeat by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama could cause them to switch teams.

"I would welcome any of Senator Clinton's supporters' vote," McCain told reporters in Louisiana, adding he would seek backing from people across the political spectrum.

agreed fully

the template is already proven. probably 90% of us got lock stock and barrel behind pres. bush in 2004 all because of the big bad wolf KERRY, yet look at what we got anyway. BIG GOVERNMENT, SHAMNEST (repeated attempts at it), APPEASEMENT OF DICTATORS (North Korean deal), Myers, I could go on and on and on.... and believe me, McCAIN will be even WORSE that that compassionate conservative Bush. Just as my tagline says below.....

So when does the cretin start reaching out to Republicans and conservatives like me? I won’t be holding my breath.

(Bob) Barr and (Chuck) Baldwin supporters are free to Freepmail me and make a plea as to why their guy would deserve my vote. i am open to it.

I am a fence sitter right now when it comes to those two, although I prefer one a bit over the other.

Either choice, I will live with my choice and will not feel the slightest bit "guilty" over it. I want to vote FOR somebody, dammit, this time. TIRED of the lesser of two evils game. Been there, done that.

McCain and Obama supporters, don't even bother, thanx.

The truth is, though, Reagan stayed centered who he was and Conservatism, AND THE DISAFFECTED DEMOCRATS CAME OVER TO HIM.

In McSHAMNESTY's case, with no moral center nor conservative underpinning like The Gipper, HE WILL PHILOSOPHICALLY GO OVER THE FENCE to the liberals way of thinking just to get those Democrats.

Sorry. No deal. No thanks. Big difference. Nuff said.

You know, Reagan reached out to Democrats too and a bunch of them voted for him.

The hell he did! He campaigned on core conservative principles...his core principles and Americans responded. He never "reached out" to the other side. McCain just capitulates to the left. Attacks the Constitution, fights to keep our borders open and is now threatening to attack our economy in the name of fighting climate change. Ronald Reagan would NEVER have reached out in such a way.

I started laughing as I read your tag line because it is so true about John McCain...

If he does win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

I am just reading the tea leaves. If he actually pulls off the unimagineable, an actual win against Obama, you will hear it starting fast and furiously from just about early December on into the inauguration. I would also, however, expect FR McCAINBOTS at that time, though, to applaud our steady march into socialism if while continuing to call themselves conservatives and being on this FR forum. We will get picture after picture of him with Cindy and adoring posts bordering on certifiable cult-mentality.

The libs will beat him daily like a red-headed step child....

Well, you know what they've said about the Stockholm Syndrome. Maybe we should christen McCain and his drones the Masochist Party.

He was the only Republican left after he and Huckleberry tag teamed Mitt Romney out of the picture.
I don’t know who is the lowest of the low, McQueeg or Huckleberry Hound?

Hey, don't "apologize". The McCainiacs are taking this Country to hell, so I'm gonna enjoy slapping them around a little.
