		<description>McCain is for a stronger America?
Open borders, higher taxes, global warming policies, limits to free speech and advice from Teddy - yeah, he represents me perfectly.  McCain supporters - what does he give us besides talk? The country survived Carter, the first Bush, the Clintons, and it will survive four years of Obama. When the GOP left conservatives, I left the GOP. Parties have come and gone (Federalists, Whigs anyone?).  There were crises occurring then as well.  It&#039;s time to realign parties.</description>

    When all the Muslims and other likewise parasites and terrorists supporters vote for Hussein, you still think McCain can win?

    Hussein is the Muslims’ candidate, for obvious reasons.

Huh? Muslims are gonna vote for B. Hussein Obama, and somehow that fact will translate to the total country following their lead?

Again, Huh?

Where did you read that? Read again my post.

The majority of this country is made of parasites, of so-called &quot;independents,&quot; of lefties loonies, and Muslims, all these put together will vote for that terrorists supporter Muslim, Barack Hussein, and that&#039;s how the Conservatives will be defeated.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Moderate by definition is not extreme or radical.
myamphibian on February 13, 2008 at 5:01 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course not, moderates aresn&#039;t anything.

&lt;blockquote&gt;This happens every election year, right wingers bitch about how they hate having to hold their nose and vote for the lesser evil, but they always do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course.  Everything &quot;always&quot; happens.  Until it doesn&#039;t.  

Strange though, I wouldn&#039;t expect such mindless fatalistic apathy from a moderate.

Oh, wait... I just remembered:  That&#039;s all anyone ever expects from moderates!  

Don&#039;t worry though.  The good news is that - after thousands of years of never accomplishing anything significant in the entire history of mankind - moderates must be &lt;em&gt;reeeally&lt;/em&gt; rested up by now.

I suppose that&#039;s why we&#039;re not hearing any desperate teeth-gnashing at the thought you won&#039;t have us disgusting &quot;radical right-wingers&quot; gumming up the works and getting in your way this election year.

Oh, wait...</description>

		<description>This isn&#039;t complicated. Obama is getting 98% of the Black vote. The Racist vote dwarfs this by some insane order of magnitude. A large amount of white male democrats are not going to vote for Obama.

If Hillary wins vs McCain she is going to pull a crazy amount of the woman voters from everywhere. McCain cannot hold onto women voters period! Only Rudy or Romney could. The Anti-Hillary hatred is male driven by a large amount. Once women go into the both they are going to pull the lever for a woman unless there choice is only between a white or black man. That is the reality. Race has everything to do with this, something people who don&#039;t live outside major cities cannot comprehend.

If you think Hillary is easier to beat than Obama then you are delusional and have not been paying attention to women.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In other words, their beliefs will tend to track with whatever they’ve seen on television the most in the past two weeks. The problem is that the New York Times and the rest of the media are NOT going to keep idolizing John McCain over a Democrat once the real race starts.

&lt;/blockquote&gt; Did you hear this on television? Moderate by definition is not extreme or radical. I have always thought of the republican party as being more open to difference of opinion and against radicalism. This happens every election year, right wingers bitch about how they hate having to hold their nose and vote for the lesser evil, but they always do. As a Jesse Helms conservative myself, I have no problem supporting McCain and welcome anyone into the republican party that will oppose liberal democrats.</description>

		<description>That would be my hope--that in an Obama vs. McCain match, the appeal of McCain to moderate Dems is greater than Obama&#039;s appeal to not only Republicans (duh) but independents.  This is why I won&#039;t be at all surprised if McCain chooses to more-or-less ignore the evangelicals and pick a VP as moderate as or even further to the left of himself.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Moderates, pretty much by definition, are people who don’t have any set beliefs at all...

You&#039;re confusing &quot;moderates&quot; and &quot;independents.&quot;  In fact, if you aren&#039;t an ardent Communist or a full-fledged laissez-faire Libertarian, you are yourself a moderate of one stripe or another.</description>

		<description>Boehner Endorses McCain   [David Freddoso]
“John McCain is an American hero and will make an excellent President of the United States.  McCain has a solid conservative record as one of the most vocal opponents of wasteful spending, a staunch defender of America’s national security, and a strong believer in the sanctity of human life.  He is uniquely suited to lead our country forward as we take on the many opportunities and challenges of the years ahead.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I was with my friends the other day. One’s a nominal Republican, but mostly liberal on social issues; the other’s a far left lib. Both are fans of McCain and would support him in the GE against either Dem.

The Gallup poll only confirms my suspicion that Independents are stupid.

		<description>Let’s play with a scenario for a moment.

POTUS proposes this:
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’ve talked to Barack a lot about his Patriot Corporation Act&lt;/strong&gt;, which is not trade per se, but it’s certainly part of the economic package around globalization.
The Patriot Corporation Act has not gotten the attention that I would hope it would. But, basically it says that if you play by the rules, if you pay decent wages, health benefits, pension; do your production here; &lt;strong&gt;don’t resist unionization on neutral card check&lt;/strong&gt;, then you will be designated a “Patriot Corporation” and you will get tax advantages and some [preference] on government contracts.
There is so much here that’s profoundly objectionable. On card check, it’s “patriotic” to support the elimination of the secret ballot in the workplace? It’s “patriotic” to pay an employee $14 an hour, but not $13.83? Play by the rules? What does that mean?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Conservative Republican congressmen mount a resistance. Unfortunately they are the minority party in congress, so they have to get votes from conservative and moderate democrats.

Will they be able to attract moderate democrats’ opposition to a Dem POTUS or a GOP POTUS more easily? Think about the pressure the dem caucus will exert on its members. Is the dem leadership going to permit their folks to join the GOP opposition if there is a dem POTUS?

Oh, and McCain ain’t gonna propose a “patriot company act” anyway, but Obama is a cosponsor on the one that is already there.

C&#039;mon, all of you &quot;Obama&#039;s better than McCain&quot; people.  Please help me out here.</description>

But, basically it says that if you play by the rules, if you pay decent wages, health benefits, pension; do your production here; <strong>don’t resist unionization on neutral card check</strong>, then you will be designated a “Patriot Corporation” and you will get tax advantages and some [preference] on government contracts.<br />
There is so much here that’s profoundly objectionable. On card check, it’s “patriotic” to support the elimination of the secret ballot in the workplace? It’s “patriotic” to pay an employee $14 an hour, but not $13.83? Play by the rules? What does that mean?</p></blockquote>
<p>Conservative Republican congressmen mount a resistance. Unfortunately they are the minority party in congress, so they have to get votes from conservative and moderate democrats.</p>
<p>Will they be able to attract moderate democrats’ opposition to a Dem POTUS or a GOP POTUS more easily? Think about the pressure the dem caucus will exert on its members. Is the dem leadership going to permit their folks to join the GOP opposition if there is a dem POTUS?</p>
<p>Oh, and McCain ain’t gonna propose a “patriot company act” anyway, but Obama is a cosponsor on the one that is already there.</p>
<p>C&#8217;mon, all of you &#8220;Obama&#8217;s better than McCain&#8221; people.  Please help me out here.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When all the Muslims and other likewise parasites and terrorists supporters vote for Hussein, you still think McCain can win?

Hussein is the Muslims’ candidate, for obvious reasons.

Huh?  Muslims are gonna vote for B. Hussein Obama, and somehow that fact will translate to the total country following their lead?

Again, Huh?</description>

		<description>El Rushbo is right, if he endorses McCain, the moderate conservatives and democrats will drop him like a bad habit. One thing we all know, Rush will do anything to keep democrats out of power, and if that involves trashing moderates while still keeping his credibility on core conservative values, it&#039;s a no brainer. But the pièce de ré·sis·tance will be when McCain selects a hard core conservative for veep, and Rush and his listeners (or approx. 41% of them) bash &lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt; for being a liberal RINO. Brilliant indeed.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I was with my friends the other day. One’s a nominal Republican, but mostly liberal on social issues; the other’s a far left lib. Both are fans of McCain and would support him in the GE against either Dem.

The Gallup poll only confirms my suspicion that Independents are stupid.

Jaibones&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And conservatives are NOT going to vote for McCain.  He keeps sticking it to us (hello, Juan Hernandez).  So, I don&#039;t see how that translates into a victory for McCain.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In 1988 the dems almost doubled the primary turnout of the republicans. Remember President Dukakis?

funky chicken &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dukakis ran following 8 years of a very popular Republican President (Reagan) and ran against Reagan&#039;s VP (an incombent, so to speak).

McCain is NO Ronald REagan.  He is running after 8 years of Bush&#039;s dismal record.  Compare Dukakis to Obama... my, my, my, quite a difference.

If you think this election is going to turn out like 1988, you are delusional.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We elect McCain the[n] make his life hell if he doesnt play ball. Barak would ignore us McCain cant. William Amos on February 13, 2008 at 1:54 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well of course McCain can ignore you: &lt;em&gt;You will have already voted for him! &lt;/em&gt; You may jack your jaws in disapproval when he does something you don&#039;t like, but so what? You will have proven that regardless of what he does, or doesn&#039;t do, he can win your vote if he&#039;s simply juxtaposed against a Democrat in the general election.

That&#039;s a low bar to meet, because the Democrats invariably nominate a candidate for president.</description>
