New McCain ad: Mitt’s a Reagan-betraying flip-flopper!

Truly, this is the man to lead conservative America.

If the only option is McCain, HELL YES! I know you are one of those Rudy people who are demanding we shut up and support your new candidate but it isn’t going to happen. If Juan McCain gets the nomination, I’m seriously on the fence about voting in November and I’ve never missed voting in Presidential elections since I was eligible during the Reagan years. Nevertheless, I simply can not bring myself to vote for a weasel who is pro-life, pro-amnesty, pro-gay marriage, anti-free speech and otherwise betrays virtually everything that I hold as an important value. Throw in the fact that he’ll tell you how much water he carried for GWB without mentioning the fact that he was the one put all the holes in the bucket he was carrying.

If the level of vitriol by McCain is any indication, he is clearly unfit for high office (including Senate come to that but that’s Arizona’s problem). McCain constantly lies about the facts. Today, I’ve been called un-American. I’ve been called a psuedo-Republican. I’ve even had my motives questioned just because I won’t shut up and support McCain!

What does it say for McCain’s supporters that they can’t debate the issues but quick to slander those who won’t shut up and get on the Tijuana? That’s a legitimate question. Why is it that my vote, my values, my views are supposed to be silenced so that you all can sneak a dirty liberal Democrat into the GOP nomination? If anything, speaking out against the McCain propoganda is the right thing to do!

P.S. Notice how I could voice my opinion without questioning your motives or patriotism? Why is it that you people can’t do the same thing?

Hey…psst…did you know McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution?…bet you never heard that before.

And Judas was a foot soldier for Jesus Christ.

Above everything else he seems to be the only candidate left who is grounded in reality and not using some sort of protected class status to hide behind, i.e. veteran, religion, woman, black. He has made it this far mostly using his own money and facing unwarranted attacks mostly of a personal nature.

Good point. Nor has Romney attempted to explain away his changes of positions by flat-out denial. McCain stll maintains that he wasn’t looking for amnesty when he’s on the record as calling me a racist for opposing his backroom deal with Teddy Kennedy. McCain also claims that he voted against tax relief for fiscal reasons when, in 2001, he had an entirely different reason- the rich weren’t punished for being rich. Does McCain and his supporters really think we are that stupid?

Sorry to hear that McCain’s POW years are being questioned that way- probably by those too young to remember Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and too arrogant to understand the context of serving one’s country selflessly. By all accounts, McCain was followed the code of conduct and his service was honorable in all the ways that John Kerry’s was not. I’m sorry to hear that some are “going there” when the problem with McCain is all the ways he has betrayed conservative values while in the Senate. That’s where the real argument lies.
