In a purely plutonic intellectual way, of course.

McCain talks the talk but does not understand where he is walking.

The immigration issue is a primary example. The majority of military (Guard and Reserves) being used in Iraq should be returned to the states from whence they came to protect the borders.

While another ugly fact was that the Demoncrats have pillaged this nations real military and the focus of our Federal Government should be on rebuilding the regular fighting forces to protect the country’s interests overseas.

Finally the nation must realize the functions of government have been eroded. The Federal Government has relinquished many of their responsibilities to the States and can not even protect us through reorganization of the government. The reason for this erosion is that politicians can not manage our money properly (they prefer to keep it for their pork projects for votes) and use unfunded mandates to make others comply and pay.

If there is not a change soon there will be a level of internal strife that will lead to greater riffs at home which will require us to abandon the rest of the world.

Do you agree with McCain that the SwiftVets were and are “dishonest and dishonorable?”

Do you enjoy his loving embrace of the New York Troopslimers? If so, feel free to be delusional about the likelihood of him “supporting the troops” if his MSM buddies give him a diss on the subject. Money, power and fame are more important to him than basic honor and integrity.

You can bank on it.

If that fat-faced slimeball gets the GOP nomination, I’m staying home. It’ll be me & my Wii on Election Day; either that, or a write-in for Romney.

I told this guy that while that may be true, the difference is that Harry Truman was an honest foul-mouthed man who also happened to be an honest man as well. McCain doesn’t have an honest vein in his body.

The primary focus and power of the presidency is foreign. His first job is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Without security, the rest does not exist…

As to the border and internal, that power base and focus is the congress. If you want the laws changed and funding for border enforcement, target the house and senate candidates. Congress is the power for domestic, not the presidency…

McCain must realize that he is never going into the White House and wants to make sure that the GOP is splintered.

The message will be clear: the Rocky Feller wing of the GOP must be cremated, even if we have communists for president for a decade or two.

This man is not a conservative

Why do you think he hates Alito? He won’t appoint ANYONE who would overturn his treasonous oath-breaking anti-free speech abortion, that’s for d@mn sure.

NorthernCross, if this is why you choose McCain you are mistaken. McCain is not willing to fight Islamism any more than George W is. All we get from McCain is the “Islam is a religion of peace” BS. I do apologize that I’m not offering evidence right now, as I’m finishing a project. You could google around and see what you find, if this is an issue for you.

Even if I concede that you’re right that McCain is no better than Bush on the issue (and in truth, I don’t think it’s too much of a concession), I still think it’s leagues better than the Democratic alternative. The fact is that McCain has proven that he’s willing to call the enemy by their proper title, i.e. radical Islamists. That’s not to say that McCain is the perfect anti-Jihadist’s candidate for POTUS, because I don’t think he’s proven that yet. But it’s enough for me to say that if push were to come to shove and the choice will be between him and Hillary/Obama, then I’ll pick him. No contest.

Yes, odds are that he’ll show his RINO colors sell out conservatives on other issues, but how will the results on those issues be any different from the Dem’s nominee? OTOH, try to imagine how the struggle against dhimmitude in our country will look if either Hillary or Obama were President.

Its one thing to have a goon like Hillary Clinton destroy you to your face…

Its another to have a gooney bird like John McCain, allegedly one of your own, stab you in the back.

Whoa! We’re really playing with fire here.

I’ll go ahead and take that back stab…but only if it is McCain/Clinton. If Obama gets in, I’ll just stay home.

Like many of us, if Hillary is on the ballot for the Dems, we’ll hold our damn nose and pull the (R) lever no matter who is on the ticket. Even McShamnesty.

I’ll hate myself, and probably feel like a whore, but I would hate myself worse if I felt I had any part in giving Hillary the power to put justices on the Supreme Court.

Sure, we’re screwed. But we could be screwed worse.

McCain voted to CONFIRM BOTH Roberts AND Alito.
How “Liberal” is that?….

And McCain has since said that Alito is TOO conservative to sit on the Supreme Court.
How “Liberal” is that?.

And let us not forget that those two confirmations came in the context of yet another of McCain’s betrayals: The Gang of Fourteen. Instead of fixing the judicial filibuster problem, mccain sold out conservatism and preserved the Democrats biggest weapon against a Republican president’s right to appoint judges.

If conservatives are willing to endure 4 to 8 years of Obama or Hillary how can they say they have a problem with enduring 4 years of McCain ?

There are different levels of stuff to endure.

Boy, you REALLY don’t get it, do you?

Not all things are equal.

Its one thing to have a goon like Hillary Clinton destroy you to your face…

Its another to have a gooney bird like John McCain, allegedly one of your own, stab you in the back.

Many of us have simply suffered too much of John McCain’s betrayal, especially since the 2000 election turned him into a really vengeful and twisted mega-RINO.

Thats why John McCain is less acceptable than even Hillary Clinton to many people.

What is hard to understand is the willingness of otherwise reasonable conservatives to simply bend over and accept the inevitability of the unacceptable:: in the name of the alleged lesser of two evils.

Where have the Republicans with principles gone?

Gays are a fact of life in the United States. Try to cope with it.

Ann Coulter just said she would vote for Clinton over McCain. Amazing…

PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on January 31, 2008 at 9:39 PM

Let’s get together a “NO” on McCain list:

Ann Coulter

Michelle Malkin … is that a MAYBE no?

Mark Levin … I think a probably definitely, what-are-you-kidding-me, NO

Rush Limbaugh … I think also probably NO, especially considering what he’s said of late, though he may never say one way or the other.

Anyone heard of anyone else committing not to vote for McCain?

If when everything is said and done it’s between McCain and Hillary or Obama, I will choose McCain. He may be a RINO, but I have more confidence in his willingness to stand strong against Islamism than in either of the Dem frontrunners.
