You just described who you are voting for to a tee.
So, what’s your point?
I think I’ll write in Meghan for POTUS. Just for the hell of it.
I guess the Kool-aide drinkers do not understand. As bad as Obama is, McCain is himself bad enough that I cannot vote for him. Who would be more damaging to the country? Probably Obama, but it is not a lock. Who would be more damaging to the ideals of the country? Probably McCain, but again it is not quite a lock.
Conservatives do not bow to intimidation.
Now....why would you not know that?
All in a day's work....
...what exactly DO Conservatives do? They don't work very hard for the candidates they support, they don't fight for what they believe in (unless it's anonymously on a website), so praytell..WHAT DO CONSERVATIVES DO?
They are just Republicans.
Bwahaahahhahhahh! Who on Earth told you such nonsense? Are you the official spokesperson for management now? LOL!
A fair question.
Conservatives value tradition, family, religion, Texas, sovereignty and small government. Conservatives despise bullies, tyrants, government intrusion, enslavement, and intimidation.
Conservatives built this nation, raised my children, made a success of my company, and freed millions of people of other nations.
It is ironic that although you confess to not knowing what conservatives do, you do find us laughable.
I don’t relate to the HARD right either. I don’t relate to the HARD left either. Extremes left and right ..are just that extreme. On some level we are all close to the middle than we know. Extremes Pull ..ying yang.. until we find a happy middle ground of comprimise we can only live with.
If Young people are morons, then we can all claim to have been Morons once..right? Although as a young person, I always voted.
Could I have the copy of the list too? I want to kick their butt, if Obama wins.
I believe that McCain will be the Next President also. "The Obamamania 2008" which is media created reminds me of "the Dukasis Miracle 1988 " which was also media created, and we all know how that turned out.
You really are quite entertaining. I look foreward to each little gem of yours, makes my day. Please do not stop.
Politics is the art of the possible. Frankly stated, the seriously conservative GOP candidates such as Duncan Hunter would have had no chance of winning the general election. This is a bad Republican election in terms of popularity with the general public.
Is John McCain a perfect candidate? Of course not. But he is one of our best hopes to beat Obama.
Republicans who would sit home on election night are bringing this country just a bit closer to the disastrous result of a Democratic President, House and (almost worst of all) a potentially filibuster proof Senate.
Who in their right mind would want the above to happen?
“And what happens if the Republican is a liberal?”
We then redefine the meaning of the word “conservative” until it is so watered down that it means (just like “Republican”) NOTHING.
Did I win? Do I get a cookie? Another cup of kool aide maybe?
Absolutely....
“Meghan McCain: “I Almost Registered as a Democrat”
Wow, just like Daddy!
No matter what, come noon next January 20, a new President of the United States will be sworn in. Given the choice between the only two viable candidates to win the highest office in the land, I will be a lot more comfortable if it’s McCain. Thrilled and ecstatic, no.
This election isn’t about electing a Prom or Homecoming King. It’s deadly serious, life or death, election. McCain was not my first choice for the GOP nomination, but he’s it. I can choose to vote for him or not to vote, or vote for someone like Barr. If I were to choose to throw away my vote, just for kicks, I’d probably vote for Cynthia McKinny. However, I will never squander my vote. It’s a sacred honor and privilege accorded to me because I was just lucky enough to have been born in the USA, through no sacrifice of my own but by the blood of hundreds of thousands who preceded me and who serve today.
Just like President Bush, if we get President McCain, we can all find lots to grumble about. But if that is the outcome, we had best remind ourselves, as we have for 8 years, that it beats all hell out of a President Gore or a President Kerry or a President Obama.
We should all be damned glad that George W. Bush and not Al Gore was POTUS on 9/11/01. And, as the inevitable next strike on our soil occurs, I pray to God we have someone with courage like President Bush, who puts the USA and not a peacenik ideology first and foremost.
No pompoms waving here for McCain, just a practical view of what my choices are.
