		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What does he have to do fellate you?…because their a**es werent kissed properly.

Nice ad hominem attack, as I recall Larry Craig was a “true” conservative (since we are playing the “Gay game”)
Squid Shark on March 13, 2008 at 10:15 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hey, lighten up, I never said that your suggestion of offering oral sex and rim jobs as political incentives was &quot;nice ad hominem.&quot;  All I&#039;m saying is that, your idol aside, you guys haven&#039;t historically been the most reliable Republican voting block.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Captain Ed, please re-check their arithmetic! Actually, McCain kicks b*tt against either Democrat candidate.&lt;/strong&gt;
.
This poll is a not-so-subtle propaganda ploy against John McCain by (&lt;i&gt;biased liberals in the MSM? Shocking!&lt;/i&gt;) NBC and the WSJ.
.
Correcting the NBC/WSJ cooked numbers definitely shows McCain beating either Obama or Clinton.
.
Re-read the bottom two paragraphs.  What NBC and the Wall Street Journal have done is a poll in which they&#039;ve deliberately low-balled the percentage of Republicans in relation to the general population.  &lt;strong&gt;The pollsters have deliberately significantly reduced the number of Republican respondents by 8.1% and shoved those numbers mostly in to the independents (where they are &quot;in play&quot; for the Democrats) and slightly into the Democrats.&lt;/strong&gt;  
.
When one does the arithmetic to correctly compensate for this, McCain actually wins over both Comrade Hussein Obama and Hillary the Racketeer. &lt;em&gt;Assuming McCain would get 90% of the registered Republicans&lt;/em&gt; (a pretty safe assumption, wouldn&#039;t you say?), it&#039;d be about &lt;strong&gt;52% McCain vs. 39% for Obama &lt;/strong&gt;AND &lt;strong&gt;McCain 52% vs. 40% for Clinton&lt;/strong&gt;, with the remainder in both cases being the undecided.
.
We&#039;re going to see (&lt;em&gt;and smell!) &lt;/em&gt;a constant flow of this anti-McCain/anti-Republican liberal biased MSM excrement between now and election day. We&#039;re counting on Hot Air to help us cut through this to see the truth!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh yeah, you can definitely count on “Rock-Ribbed Republicans” like him to carry you to the White House. I mean, hey, what could possibly go wrong with a plan like that?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I am a &quot;rock ribbed republican&quot; I have campaigned for Republicans even ones I didnt care for, because I knew what was good for the country. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;left-leaning Repblicans&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Being left of Atilla the Hun does not make me a left-leaning Republican.

&lt;blockquote&gt;limp-wristed flamers like this guy to back you up&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So how does it feel, all you left-leaning Repblicans out there, to know you traded the support of us whiney conservatives in so that you could get limp-wristed flamers like this guy to back you up?

Ill call you a whiner, and you can vote for whoever you want while enabling the reckless abandonment of our troops to 4 years of liberal BS. Thanks, but your still a crybaby. Some of you &quot;true&quot; conservatives have such a ridiculous sense of entitlement it is almost sickening.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If we can’t get together to support a candidate against what the Democrats are going to offer, then it’s over and we have two many “principled” people on our side to ever elect a candidate to the White House or to ever have a majority in Congress again.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Exactly, coalitions dont work when one group stays home because their a**es werent kissed properly.</description>

    I’d crawl over broken glass to vote against either of these people even if the Republicans were running a stuffed bear guy who would put liberal justices on the court, and keep our southern border unsecured permanently.

Please let me know whether this is OK with you.  Because I care very deeply about what you want.  Really.  Honest.

		<description>I read these posts trashing McCain and eulogizing Reagan, and all I can think is &lt;em&gt;wake up people Ronald Reagan is dead and gone and he is not coming back, making him a saint will not change that.&lt;/em&gt;

In truth Reagan was a realist, we could use some more of that instead of all this bitching about McCain when we have Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the Democratic side. Think about that...what would Saint Ronald do? Vote GOP for Chrisake.

Honestly, people can be such babies. McCain won fair and square so stop your crying.

BTW, McCain is tied up on &lt;a href=&quot;http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Rasmussens &lt;/a&gt;

You want to know why Democrats are ahead right now? Gas is almost $4 a gallon, the dollar is down and all the Republicans can think to do is complain about abortion and illegal immigration.</description>

<p>BTW, McCain is tied up on <a href="http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll" rel="nofollow"> Rasmussens </a></p>
<p>You want to know why Democrats are ahead right now? Gas is almost $4 a gallon, the dollar is down and all the Republicans can think to do is complain about abortion and illegal immigration.</p>

		<description>&quot;Keep trying as hard as you can to lay that guilt trip on us.&quot;

Not trying to lay a guilt trip.  Just tired of your incessant whining and moaning.  

Since you&#039;re sitting out this fall, how about drinking a big cup of STHU and posting again after election day?</description>

		<description>&lt;strike&gt;Again and again we said that we could get behind ANYONE BUT MCCAIN... But you* gave us the one guy that we could not support.
LegendHasIt on March 13, 2008 at 3:57 PM&lt;/strike&gt;

Hey, that&#039;s right.  Sure Ron Paul&#039;s a raving lunatic but even if (somehow) that crackhead were nominated, we couldn&#039;t have said he was the &quot;least conservative&quot; candidate.

So (assuming you don&#039;t count Jim Jeffords as technically eligible) we conservatives got screwed AS BAD AS WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN SCREWED by the Republican Party.

So go ahead, blame us all you want.  And hey, don&#039;t let all our booming laughter slow you down one tiny little bit.  Keep trying as hard as you can to lay that guilt trip on us.  &#039;Cause you never know; it just m&lt;strong&gt;ight work this time!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;They don’t give a damn about the people who actually built the party anymore.&quot;

You, Honest Abe and a few sturdy hands.  Congratulations on that.  Those were the days . . .  

Anyway, back here in the real world, we have a choice this fall.  

&quot;open borders&quot;

Oh, I see.  One that thinks that completely overblown issue is of utmost importance.  

Personally, my issue is national defense.  I don&#039;t want to see my troops undermined, abandoned and used as political tools by the absolutely worthless Democrat Party.  

But I see where that could pale in comparison to the &quot;dream&quot; of building border fences across the Mexican and Canadian borders, because that really is achievable and unbreechable.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Don’t blame us [conservative Republicans] for your [liberal Republicans&#039;] mistake.
LegendHasIt on March 13, 2008 at 3:20 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Get used to it.  Seriously, what do you EXPECT to happen when inveterate back-seat drivers gain control of a political party?

Step one:  grab the wheel; 

Step two:  turn around and blame everyone else in the car for what direction it&#039;s heading in and how fast it&#039;s going.

&lt;blockquote&gt;This non-support can work two ways. If “conservatives” aren’t going to support John McCain vs. the Obamanination or Hellary, then it’s going to convince me that it’s the end of the Republican Party winning elections. 
NoDonkey on March 13, 2008 at 3:29 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Step Three:  if your passengers refuse to accept responsibility for your inevitable crash, threaten to give up on the entire concept of automobiles.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;my ideal candidate or the highway”, &lt;/blockquote&gt;
I&#039;m getting pretty tired of this stupid meme.

Nearly all of us real conservatives supported the closest to conservative candidate until it was obvious that he was not going to be competitive.  Then we moved down to the next best, then the next best, then the next best. Finally we even got a little enthusiastic about supporting Romney who we didn&#039;t believe was really a conservative.

Again and again we said that we could get behind ANYONE BUT  MCCAIN &lt;em&gt;(well, Most of us; there WERE a few holdouts who were  indeed &quot;my way or the highway&quot;, but they were indeed a small minority)&lt;/em&gt;.  But you* gave us the one guy that we could not support.

The Republican Party doesn&#039;t deserve to win any more elections.  They don&#039;t give a damn about the people who actually built the party anymore.  Let them get their money and votes from the open borders cheap employees for business crowd and the globalists, and the reach across the aisle and make any compromise for a deal moderates.</description>

		<description>&quot;We conservatives&quot;

Look, I&#039;m a conservative.  Just not a &quot;conservative&quot;.  

Not a moderate.  

There&#039;s nothing &quot;conservative&quot;, however, with sitting at home in a hissy fit while the nation elects either a corrupt and incompetent geriatric hippie to the White House, or a corrupt and incompetent juvenile delinquent.  

&quot;But don’t worry we’re still doing our part; we’re taking over the job the job you moderates have always done so very well: standing on the sidelines and idly making fun of both sides.&quot;

Again, I&#039;m not a moderate but for a bunch of people sitting on the sidelines, you &quot;conservatives&quot; sure are a noisy bunch.</description>

		<description>McCain is not my ideal candidate.  

But the primary is over.  This is the candidate we have.  

Against a absolute disaster of a Democrat.  

And let me tell you.  This non-support can work two ways.  If &quot;conservatives&quot; aren&#039;t going to support John McCain vs. the Obamanination or Hellary, then it&#039;s going to convince me that it&#039;s the end of the Republican Party winning elections.  

If we can&#039;t get together to support a candidate against what the Democrats are going to offer, then it&#039;s over and we have two many &quot;principled&quot; people on our side to ever elect a candidate to the White House or to ever have a majority in  Congress again.  

So I&#039;ll just give up and do my best to deal with whomever the Democrats put up in the future.  If our side is this fractured and this &quot;my ideal candidate or the highway&quot;, then what&#039;s the point of even being involved or paying attention  anymore?  We&#039;re never going to elect anyone anyway.  

So if enough of you sit home and allow Hillary or Obama to sit in the Oval Office, someday when you find your ideal candidate that&#039;s good enough for you to go out and vote for, don&#039;t bother letting me know because I won&#039;t give a hoot.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So how do you “conservatives” think you’re going to push your ideal candidate over the finish line? I mean, since the media’s against us and our candidates can’t raise any money.
NoDonkey on March 13, 2008 at 2:42 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Several of the Republican candidates raised a lot of money.  Unfortunately you* people &#039;nominated&#039; the guy who can&#039;t raise money because he is completely unpalatable to those of us who have traditionally dug deep into our pockets for even a half way decent candidate.

We told you in advance that McCain wouldn&#039;t get our support.  That&#039;s OK you said:  &quot;We don&#039;t need you.  The independent moderates and the 500 remaining semi-rational democrats will make up for you dumb old paleo-cons.&quot;

Don&#039;t blame us for your mistake.

*You- it is the editorial use of the word you... I have no idea if YOU were an early supporter of McCain and therefore culpable in his getting to be the putative nominee.</description>
