So when are you going to announce a write-in campaign? :-)
If memory serves, Tammy is an ex-Dem, so that is not exactly surprising.
steveegg on February 1, 2008 at 10:17 PM
In spite of all of the angst, hand wringing and irrational threats, I predict that everyone will fall into line once Romney finally concedes.
JayHaw Phrenzie on February 1, 2008 at 10:18 PM
It’s because McCain is a Morlock
and Hillary is an Eloi
Kini on February 1, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Hannity does not get it.
The reason many of us will NEVER vote for McCain is the sheer pleasure he showed while telling COnservatives we needed to bend over, grab our ankles and accept his amnesty plan, gang of 14, assualt on free speech, global warming nonsense, etc.
He enjoyed “beating” conservatives every chance he got.
He hated us first.
Or
He drew first blood.
EJDolbow on February 1, 2008 at 10:22 PM
I don’t intend to fall in line. How can a handful of States decide the winner? I live in CA. and haven’t voted yet. There are more than two Parties on the General Election ballot, I will vote against McCain and the Beast/Obami
calgrammy on February 1, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Do you mean sell out? Do you mean reward a liar and a man who has total contempt for conservatives?
If you vote for this man, than you are just as stupid as he thinks you are, and you deseve what he gives you.
paulsur on February 1, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Tammy said herself on H&C that she was a Dem. Either way her point is taken.
Spirit of 1776 on February 1, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Don’t see it. Once McFlip thinks he has it in the bag, he will no longer run to the right and make statements “like I hardly knew ye’ all summer. His drifting left again will drive us nuts.
Starlink on February 1, 2008 at 10:23 PM
the kossacks tok over the dem party.
the dlc is nothing now. the dems are leftists.
SADLY: the right, conservatives, need to do the sdame thing wioth the gop.
YUP: 20 years after reagan and the rockefeller wing of the GOP owns the party: spector/graham/mccain/chafee/martinez/smith/snowe et al.
we need to take it back.
electing mccain won’t achieve that.
mccain in 2008 is more liberal than clinton was in 1992.
i could NEVER vote for him.

If there’s one thing I’m totally sick of, it’s the “fall in line” bit RE: McCain. Not sure what it is about it, but it annoys me.
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Don’t count on it. A lot of people feel the way AC and TB do. If we are going to head for the wall at 80 mph, it’s better to have a Democrat at the wheel. That way, people are more likely to fight for the wheel and if we hit the wall anyway, better to have Hillary driving.
TheBigOldDog on February 1, 2008 at 10:25 PM
The Moderate Republicans are trying to teach the Conservatives “our Place”
It will make millions of us HAPPY to see them defeated in November.
EJDolbow on February 1, 2008 at 10:25 PM
So does McCain. And without his making any effort to go back to the right on any issue. He can keep Juan Hernandez around and continue to say that he will sign an amnesty bill, and continue the class warfare rhetoric and continue to be conservative on just about nothing. And we’ll fall right in line.
This is what angers me so.
Hawkins1701 on February 1, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Also worthy of though is that the Republicans in the house won’t fight a President McCain, and they will fight a Dem president. So on the big issues that McCain will put on the table (amnesty for ex), I’d like to see the conservative party, such as it is, trying to thwart it, not assist it.
Spirit of 1776 on February 1, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Pardon my typo: …worthy of thought…
Spirit of 1776 on February 1, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Regardless of Maverick’s election bid, conservatism is alive, but no longer the majority of the party.

Hell, I’ll vote for Mayor McCheese before McCain, but Hillary? Only if I intended to pull a Baldwin and leave the country. Oh wait…
Big Daddy Cool on February 1, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Conservative crack-up mania isn’t the fact that we’re going to refuse to vote for McCain. Conservative crack-up mania is the fact that conservatives are in the process of nominating him in the first place. That’s what’s causing this entire mess.

In case you RINO’s are missing the message, the conservatives are in the process of taking a pound of flesh out of your puppet liberal. If we lose this nomination, you aren’t going to win either.
FWIW – I would rather live with a small group of like minded folks than a large group comprised of like minded folks and a bunch of BS artists. Get with the program or go to the dark side …..

It is one thing to say that you won’t or can’t vote for McCain. I respect that view. Write in Fred Thompson or Rush Limbaugh or whoever you truly wanted to be President.
However, it is entirely something different – and for me unacceptable – to say that you’ll vote for Clinton.
Folks who embrace such a view simply do not, it seems to me, have any credibility in criticizing the lack of conservativism in McCain.
SteveMG on February 1, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Mitt Romney was on the LA KNX 640 AM one million viewership popular John & Ken radio show today, for 20 minutes. I heard only the last 10 but he sounded very good.
J & K were tough but polite and let Mr. Romney make his case. Most here would have been happy with what he said on immigration, taxes, credits for savings accounts, and a series of other conservative-hot issues.
John and Ken are working avidly on his behalf, and they are independents.
Entelechy on February 1, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Well, at least now the lunatics are out of the box and are self-identifying. Crybabies. That is just such juvenile stuff. I don’t like the candidate on my team so I am going to vote for the other team to “punish” my team.
Oh, crap … the other team won … now I am REALLY in trouble …
It’s called cutting off your nose to spite your face. It is called doing something really stupid because you are throwing a tantrum. It is an emotional reaction, not one well thought out … or thought out at all. It is the stuff one would expect from morons and emotionally unstable people. Narcissists act like that. They think their vote is so bloody important that they are going to “punish” the party.
crosspatch on February 1, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Michael Savage brought up a good point about McCain today. He said that normally this is when Republican candidates run to the right (in the primaries) to get the nomination. Then, after getting the nomination they will move towards the middle.
So, what you have seen from McCain in these primaries is as good as it gets. He will never become more conservative than he is right now – and that is scary!
joncoltonis on February 1, 2008 at 10:33 PM
It’s not very “conservative” to be a quitter, a whiner, or poor sport.

Ronald Reagan would want each and every one of you to strap on a helmet. Batten down the hatches, and beat Hillary Clinton back to the stone age. Mav and Ronnie were buddies, and Nancy simply adores him. Suck it up. Let’s roll.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Most of the time the member of your team will be beneficial to your team and help your team. Where does he help besides defense, where he even has major weaknesses? Judges? Taxes? Free Speech? Immigration? ANWR?
He has very little benefit. I’m not saying I won’t vote for him when the time comes (I haven’t fully made up my mind), but he’s not exactly a reliable member of the team. As a matter of fact, he’s gone after and fought for the other tem quite a few times.
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:37 PM
I predict a blowout if he faces Obama, with a low GOP base turnout. It’s going to hurt him badly, and also burn down the GOP base in Congress. I predict a tight race against Hillary with larger base turnout. If you want your boy to have a chance, better hope Hillary gets the nod.
a capella on February 1, 2008 at 10:38 PM
Dude, hard-core conservatives are a majority in the GOP, and a minority in the electorate. The only reason you see moderate Republicans with any power is because they are a swing vote, and need to be courted if the GOP is to ever vote as a majority in Congress. What seems to be happening in the right-wing blogosphere is an effort to classify more and more conservatives as “moderates” or “RINOs” on account of a few perceived transgressions. When conservative voters refuse to support a candidate with some moderate tendencies over Hillary Clinton, in a misguided effort to purify the party via a “lose-to-win” gambit, they only end up marginalizing themselves. I’m not sure what purpose this is supposed to serve, but believe me, we moderates will be more than happy to take the reins.
Big S on February 1, 2008 at 10:38 PM

11th Commandment.
W]hen the chips are down and the decisions are made as to who the candidates will be, then the 11th commandment prevails and everybody goes to work, and that is: Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.

Chakra Hammer on February 1, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Did she ever confirm her endorsement? Or is it still one of Drudge sources that hasn’t been identified or confirmed? I ask honestly.
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:42 PM
See, therein…nah, too easy.
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:43 PM
I’m not a Republican. I happen to be an individual who agrees with the Woody Allen character at the end of SLEEPER, “political solutions don’t work.”
With that in mind, the idiot RINOs here don’t understand the point that the rational people are making about electing McCain as president and how he will be able to enact Demosocialist agendas with more ease than Hobama.
There are two basic forms of political parties, STRONG and WEAK. A STRONG party is one in which the party central authority has actual control over the -privilege- of party membership. This form is most common in multiparty parliamentary democracies and is mandated by the need for party discipline in such circumstances. England has STRONG parties, and as long as the party leader has control over the caucus, he or she can expell “mavericks,” as Tony Blair did to George Galloway.
In this country, we have a WEAK party system, where the central party authority has NO control over the party label. That’s why anyone from a LaRouchite to McCain to Ron Paul to David Duke can join the Republican Party and have it stick. Discipline in such parties comes from external forces, such as being in the minority, or having to deal with an executive with veto power from the opposite party.
(although, as this Congress proves, that’s not always the case)
Notice how Dubya grew more of a “surging” spine after the ‘06 loss? That’s not a coincidence. The greatest amount of party indiscipline in a WP system comes with a party that has both the executive and a -small- majority in the legislature, since mavericks will be disproportionately rewarded for being dogs in the manger. (see McCain and Jeffords) Once that margin is lost, then the Executive can use his veto threat to actually cause his minority party faction to obstruct majority party stupidity and get more things done.
That’s the “paradox” that you’re seeing now with Bush.
What that means for a McCain presidency is that he will be able to work with a majority party Dem situation and split the discipline of the minority Reps by siphoning off enough RINO legislators to block any filibuster or any other procedural block to abominations like the Fairness Doctrine, etc.
ebrown2 on February 1, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Now, there’s a really good reason to vote for him. Nancy likes him. Sounds like sound tactical thinking.
a capella on February 1, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Remember this my friends. You can always turn a negative into a positive. Look at this: Conservatives lost this primary. Granted. However, they can come in late and put Hillary back into obscurity. The same thing happened to Ted Kennedy. If you run you must win, or your done forever.
Can someone tell me the last time a person won a nomination then won the following primary to be the nominee again. Please don’t embarass me if I’m wrong.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 10:45 PM
McCain agrees with the democrats on ALL domestic issues, he is the king of compromise, he will NOT appoint conservative judges, and that he will NOT veto the very kind of generation-damaging legislation that he has SPONSORED. R’s won’t fight an R the way they would fight a D. I guarantee you, McCain WILL sign the fairness doctrine if it gets to his desk, if for no other reason than out of spite.
We all know that is true, so how can anyone justify voting for him? We know that’s the type of person he is, he’ll kill free speech for spite. Who here thinks that he won’t?
It doesn’t matter what happens in Iraq once we lose free speech. Losing free speech, now THAT would be “game over, man.” We will have to have secret web sites from which to plan “the resistance.”
Do I sound crazy? Ask Ezra Levant about gov’t persecution for free speech, then come back and tell me I’m nuts.
If Hillary/Obama take the same positions as McCain, the country is going to be ruined anyway…I would rather have the damage done by a declared democrat with a Congress fighting him/her along the way for 4 years, than have the damage inflicted by a democrat POSING as a republican doing the damage with Congressional cooperation from which the conservative movement may never recover.
If McCain gets the nomination, the country goes to hell regardless of who is President, and I hope the press slays St. John the way we all predict that they will, so that we can mount a counter attack in 2012.
JustTruth101 on February 1, 2008 at 10:45 PM
“If we take the widest and wisest view of a Cause, there is no such thing as a Lost Cause, because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause. We fight for lost causes because we know that our defeat and dismay may be the preface to our successors’ victory, though that victory itself will be temporary; we fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that it will triumph.” —T.S. Eliot
You fight even for lost causes, not throw up your hands and give in and not fight; or worse: switch sides and fight for the other side.
What are the best chances for our cause? A Hillary election? I think not.
I’m fighting alongside McCain. Even if, as I admit, half the time I have to fight him as well as the other side.
Others can choose another path.
SteveMG on February 1, 2008 at 10:45 PM
You know the funny thing about all this? The more that the conservative talk show hosts rail against McCain, the more likely that people who don’t listen to Right Wing talk show hosts will vote for them.
So with all these ‘holier than thou’ talk show hosts who have never been elected to anything in their lives. . . they are making it more likely that McCain wins the presidency.
It’s pretty funny really. When talking about ‘conservative’, ask yourself this. . . would Jesse Helms consider it ‘conservative’. What do you think Jesse Helms would have thought about the ‘conservative’ nature of ruDe, Mitt, John, and Mike.
If you think he would consider any of them conservative, well you’d be wrong. Being against McCain is one thing and fine. But being ‘for’ Romney because he is a ‘conservative’ is a laugh.
I find the whole thing massively entertaining.

Remarks in New York City at a Reception for Delegates to the State Republican Convention
June 17, 1982
I want to tell you, if I could just say one thing — I know I have to be very careful, because you have primaries to go and so forth, and so I’ve got to stay neutral until the candidates are selected — except for one: the first Republican woman candidate here in the history of our party. But I know you’ll have a spirited convention, and you’ll have a spirited primary. But remember one thing — it came from the West, I know, but I’m still singing it – the greatest thing that’s happened for the Republican Party is, when the chips are down and the decisions are made as to who the candidates will be, then the 11th commandment prevails and everybody goes to work, and that is: Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Looking at poll numbers, it seems to me that the extreme right wing anti-McCain types have already been marginalized. I’m sure that’s fueling much of their (hopefully) temporary insanity.

“Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”
Boy, the cynicism of using this quote to support McCain is unbelieveable.

SteveMG on February 1, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Did you know that amnesty had pretty much never been tried before so few knew how it would turn out, and he had a Democratic-controlled Congress that wouldn’t have accepted a John Roberts-type? Did you also know that Reagan called it amnesty, something McCain won’t admit?
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:50 PM
No but he has gone with them on several other things and I do not trust him not to switch on those things you listed if by some chance he is elected president.

This stuff is getting old, it is starting to sound like a little kid not getting what they want. I am a conservative, if anyone thinks Clinton will apoint conservatives judges they just don’t get it. McCain may not but he is more likely to. This kind of stuff you can’t go back and fix, much like Iraq.
KBird on February 1, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Respectfully, when 20 million undocumented workers start collecting welfare, social security, and the new government funded health care, combined with McCain/Lieberman energy tax and continued refusal to drill ANWR, inflation skyrockets, people lose jobs, crime goes up, and order starts to break down.
I will be fine. I have means. I feel sorry for those who don’t.

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 10:53 PM
me bad.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 10:54 PM
McCain is strongest on defense, and his position on defense is the worst it can possibly be: in favor of attacking “poor, innocent Iraqi children,” and opposed to harming “innocent” terrorists.
Newsflash: if you give voters a choice between a Democrat and another Democrat, it’s more than a little bit moronic to think they will vote for a Republican. And once McCain wins the primary, the liberal media will turn on him. What is the rule of thumb – Liberal media support gives you a 15% bonus. And they’re not just going to forget about him, they’ll go after him every bit as visciously as they did Reagan, Bush, Dole and Bush. So you take whatever McCain is doing in the polls right now and subtract 30%, ’cause that’s what you’re going to see next November.
Don’t worry your moderate little heads: McCain is going to lose with or without us conservatives. All we are doing is making damn sure it is WITHOUT us.
We’ve spent 28 years now pushing the moderates’ turds through for them. Now it’s their turn.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m under no delusions that middle-of-the-road twits will ever magically start pulling their own weight. That’s impossible – pretty much by definition.
Our only hope is that moderates will not just fail, but fail so miserably and utterly humiliatingly that they will figure out the only way to get anything they want is to stay out of the way next time.

He supports extending the Bush tax cuts. He’s on record.
Clinton and Obama will not extend them.
He voted for every one of Bush’s judicial nominees.
Immigration: He’s been terrible.
Free speech: Terrible but inconsequential. McCain-Feingold is easily circumvented.
ANWR: Bad.
I still give him a C+. And at least we have some ability to influence his future grades.
With Clinton and Obama, we have no influence. None.
SteveMG on February 1, 2008 at 10:56 PM
?
McCain hasn’t had to sacrifice his principles. He’s a Senator who can vote the way he wishes. He willingly chose to vote against conservatives on taxes, judges, global warming, enhanced interrogation, immigration, free speech and ANWR.
amerpundit on February 1, 2008 at 10:56 PM
Maybe everyone will fall into line behind McCain,but my family and friends will not be part of it.It’s the principle of it.We can not vote or contribute to a man we do not believe in and do not trust.It probably won’t make a dimes worth of difference in the grand scheme of things but it does to us!If folks want to back Mccain more power to you.He seems to us to be the Bob Dole of 2008.The establishment is behind him and the media love him.Once nominated however the media will turn on McCain and I still say he’s gonna get beat but good this Fall but who knows.All I know is win or lose he’ll do it without our help.

Yes, we all know. Everyone cracks that out. Do tell, what’s his score for 2006? What’s the score for other conservatives?

The thing that is gnawing at me more and more these days is how effed up our system is for choosing a president. For gawd’s sake, are you telling me that Hillary, Obama, McCain, and Romney are the best we can do? Swear to god, MAYBE Romney would make the top 50 if we truly were interested in finding the smartest, most accomplished, and competent people possible to lead the free world. It appears that our system is such now that we will always generate only second and third tier individuals for the most important job in the world.

Bush signed the bill and I still voted for him. Did you?
Second, how has the legislation prevented you from expressing your political views?
It’s a dumb, bad law that has had little effect on political discourse.
Seriously, has there been a chilling of political dissent or expression in America since it was enacted?

Please, please bring a video camera and post every word he says on YouTube. Do you have a YouTube account? I’ll subscribe to it if you do, let me know what it is. Thanks.

I’ve got some friends with the Mav camp(big suprise), but If I can get Mav to say he’s super duper sorry and he’ll never do it again. Will that suffice?
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 11:01 PM
There will be plenty of cameras.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 1, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Why would we believe that lie? We don’t believe any of his other lies.

You’ll come crawling back…or you’ll grow to enjoy the heel of your Authoritarian Marxist overlords grinding into your neck.

The 11th Commandment applies only after the selection of the nominee. Tammy Bruce and Ann Coulter (and the rest) are rightly trying to mobilize Republicans to shutting down this McCain thing before it gets out of hand.
By the way, if we decided that it was never ok to speak ill of another Republican, McCain wouldn’t have anything to say.

Bush has more than one thing in his favor. Bush supported tax cuts, enhanced interrogation, appointed conservative judges and favors ANWR. When he screws up, like signing the bill, he has a bit more leeway.
As for the consequences, non-profits (such as the Right to Life) can’t take out an issue ad that names a candidate within 30 days of a primary of 60 days of an election. That’s not an infringement of free speech? You’re going to tell me that that hasn’t had consequences?

I will vote for a write in candidate, never for McNumbnuts.

At the hotel where they always have it, the security is really lax. If anyone is in D.c., you can walk right in that jewel. Great access. Sure to be fireworks between campaigns. Last year it was Mitt vs. Brownback. Pathetic
