But, for what its worth, I have always voted for the republican for president…primarily because the democrat has always been SO friggin bad.

Well, I aint doing it this time. I will vote for republicans for congress, etc. but I wont be voting for anybody for president.

This country needs a political enema. The horrid Jimmy Carter provided it in the late 70’s. The equally horrid Obama will provide it for the next four years.

Its cool…I got a bunch of money in the bank. I can handle a recession and a period of socialism.

Drudge points out a bad sign for John McCain. In both Indiana and North Carolina, a not-insignificant percentage of Republicans turned out to cast their votes for someone other than the presumptive GOP nominee. I goofed on Ron Paul supporters……

What a political twat that old bastard is..

I’ve been voting since Ronald Reagan and a political junkie long before that. This is the first time I recall that the GOP nominee has yet to solidify his own base. GHW Bush and Bob Dole were not loved but the Republican base supported them despite misgivings. I don’t get that sense this year as McCain seems intent on pissing off all but the most liberal of liberal Republicans in an effort to pander to Democrats. I think McCain is running for President with the wrong letter behind his name and I am beginning to conclude it will lead to our nation’s first sorta black President.

He is going to get his ass kicked by whoever is heading up the dem ticket.

What a political twat that old bastard is..

An effective way to “hold his feet to the fire” is to throw Lindsey Grahamnesty overboard in SC – he’s up for re-election.

As an SC resident I’ll do everything in my power to see that happen. Then we’ll see how chummy with “The Race”-baiters McCain is!

You claimed that anyone who didn’t vote for McCain wanted Obama for president

That’s true, wiseman. You did rather vehemently and unequivically state that. It’s not like you benignly “mentioned” anything.

You know, in real life, you’re eventually gonna get a Dem president – it’s the nature of the political cycle. And you’ll have to live in this country for 4 or 8 years of a Dem administration. How on earth are you going to deal?

Mentioning that if groups of republicans don’t vote for a republican that – *GASP!* we are going to have a democrat president.

Bulls**t. You claimed that anyone who didn’t vote for McCain wanted Obama for president, and blamed them for all the world’s woes and future woes based on the seventh layer of hell you claim Obama will bring upon the earth.

This strange clouded vision to not see the logical outcome of their logic is meet with name calling.

That is the behavior of a troll.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the democrats are engaged in their own stealthier version of operation chaos against us. Their goal: get a democrat elected. How can any republican in their right mind claim that a president Obama would be better than a president McCain.

It’s idiotic.

An Internet troll is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Considering that the guys you are calling trolls are regulars here and most-definitely on-topic your insult is meaningless. You might want to think of a more apropos epithet, ‘cuz “troll” ain’t it.

You can scare monger all you want, wizzman.
austinnelly on May 6, 2008 at 2:32 PM

And here I thought that the only internet trolls were liberals.

Yup. There you have it. McCain would be worse than Obama. Pathetic.

Knock yourselves out.

No, really.

There is no Reagan waiting behind a curtain. It is nearly impossible to revert socialism. These are perilous times.

Cause that’s the result. President Obama. Like that?

No. President McCain..like that even less.

Elect Obama/Hillary: Bad policies that will do damage to the country; united minority GOP more likely to oppose damaging policies.

Elect McCain: Bad Policies that will damage the country; Democrats will vote with him; some Republicans, not wanting to vote against a GOP President will vote with him. Bad Policies get passed (Global Warming legislation, Immigration, ect)

You can scare monger all you want, wizzman. My business has been destroyed by high gas prices; nothing much scares me anymore because I don’t have anything left. McCAin is not the lesser of the evils. His policies are just as capable of irreparably changing this country for the worse as either Hillary or Obama’s are. The only difference is the GOP remaining in the Congress will be more likely to slow down bad legislation from a Democrat than a Republican. McCain is actively courting the Democrat base. He is attacking the GOP more than the Democrats; what do you think that signals in his intentions? He is going to be depending on them to pass his legislation, and reelect him. We’re screwed no matter what. But I’ll be d*mned if I help that backstabbing old weasel in any manner whatsoever. Chant your mantra, wizzman: John McCain is the most conservative conservative to ever conservate in the conservatory. Clap those flippers: Vote the R! Arr, ARR ARR!

I agree.However, what makes you think Hispanics are not law-and-order types? Or that they are alineated by efforts to enforce our borders? Or that they are all under the sway of “The Race”?

VolMagic on May 5, 2008 at 7:27 PM

Check the numbers here -
40% of Hispanics want the immigration laws enforced.
Strict law enforcement is a WINNING national issue!

Cause that’s the result. President Obama. Like that? Then might as well vote for him, because that’s what’s going to happen as a result.

wise_man on May 6, 2008 at 1:49 PM

You know, your constant suggestion of voting for Obama makes me very suspicious of your motives.

There are many effects of a decision. You cannot claim that one effect drove the decision, no matter how filled with fear you are of that effect. It’s the equivalent of saying “If you don’t do this, the terrorists win.”

“The war trumps everything.”

Even illegal immigration.

President Bush wanted amnesty, but the conservative bulwark held and stopped it. President McCain will face the same wall—unless he builds one first.

But the war trumps everything. You don’t have to like John McCain or his policies, but you have to stop the Democrats from winning the White House.

I know it was a waste of time, but I went to Juan’s website and registered my opinion about this in the little comment box.

deewhybee on May 6, 2008 at 1:38 PM

I did the same. Even though McCain doesn’t care about earning the conservative vote, I wasted only a moment of my time telling him his volunteer flunkies my position.

Cause that’s the result. President Obama. Like that? Then might as well vote for him, because that’s what’s going to happen as a result.

Meanwhile, I’m going to make my vote count, and vote for an “R”, and do everything I can to ensure that a “D” does not win. Because on November 2nd, there are only two choices. Even Ross Perot, the idiot ‘vote against me because you hate poppy bush’ got Bill Clinton elected. Some people are capable of learning from the past mistakes of American history.

Some people.
