We slayed the Hildabeast,

Who’s this “we”? Obama beat Hillary with the help of the MM, her poor campaign, and moronic voters.

A “grass roots effort” is a political one.

I’ll give you a pass and assume you were drunk when you composed that strange post.

Well, aren’t you just the cutest little single-issue self-aggrandizing purist evah!

Golly, ’tis truly a pleasure – nay, privilege! – to be allowed to bask in the vicinity of your superior personal personalness. And, dare I say, your obvious intellectual grandeur.

Oh, I’ve got a multitude of issues with McCain, and if you want to label me a “self-aggrandizing purist” then you might want to notice that HA is a “conservative Internet broadcast network”, not only “a cheerleader for RINO’s”.

It shouldn’t be a shock to you that conservatives are actually commenting. It also shouldn’t shock you that most conservatives won’t ignore a Rep candidates liberal economy-crushing ideologies, just because he served in the military.

No. MexicCain will never get my vote.

HYTEAndy on June 3, 2008 at 10:33 AM

What a cute nickname, your so clever!

Is that conservative enough for you all?

THE CHOSEN ONE on June 2, 2008 at 11:10 PM

No. MexicCain will never get my vote.

Huh? Who isn’t looking at the man’s voting records? What on earth are you talking about?

That’s exactly what the dems did with John Kerry.

John McCain was a real war hero as opposed to John Kerrey, and he had the integrity not to betray his comrades when he came back, no comparison.

you don’t want to persuade;

Why would I try to persuade you are so blinded by your righteous quest to fight the “RINO” you will cut off your nose to spite your face.

People can’t disagree with you, otherwise they’re wrong, and stupid and bad people.

I never said that you could not disagree with me, I think you are short sighted and likely a little paranoid. Prone to the most extreme hyperbolke as well.

As I recall, TC’s and MDSers are the ones calling me and my kind RINO’s and Traitors.

Have fun with the archaeology, ladies.

Oh yeah, calling us ladies too. *checks* nope, not a lady.

What does this say about President Bush, the man in charge of border control and national security?

There’s a world of difference between nonfeasance and mal- or misfeasance. Acts of commission versus acts of omission.

And, by the way, sounding like Keith Olbermann is not a smart idea.

If there wasnt MDSers I dont know how I would stay entertained.

Squid Shark on June 2, 2008 at 9:31 PM

What? Rooting around in 30 year old magazine articles desperately trying to find anything positive to say about your candidate doesn’t entertain you? I bet if you go back to grammar school, you’ll find all kinds of positive things to say about McCain: plays well with others, good citizen and he doesn’t eat the glue!

I think it’s pretty sad you guys are sitting here playing the military service card like it’s the all absolving trump. That’s exactly what the dems did with John Kerry. Don’t look at his policies or legislative record, just cue up the star spangled banner and check him out in his uniform. Just like the democrats. And you argue like them too; you don’t want to persuade; all you do is shout them down, call them names; People can’t disagree with you, otherwise they’re wrong, and stupid and bad people. But hey, keep riding that moral highhorse. Seeing a bunch of so called right wingers acting like libs is pretty entertaining for some of us on the unrepresented side too. The only reaction I have, incidentally to McCain’s service is to ask: What happened to him? Because as a politician, he’s pretty big weasel insider…remember the amnesty bill? Dead of night; slip it through with no hearings? Nothing wrong with that, right? Gotta slide legislation through like that else the bigots will get ideas above their station. Have fun with the archaeology, ladies.

From the article:

“All through this period, the “gooks” were bombarding us with antiwar quotes from people in high places back in Washington. This was the most effective propaganda they had to use against us—speeches and statements by men who were generally respected in the United States.

They used Senator Fulbright a great deal, and Senator Brooke. Ted Kennedy was quoted again and again, as was Averell Harriman. Clark Clifford was another favorite, right after he had been Secretary of Defense under President Johnson.

When Ramsey Clark came over they thought that was a great coup for their cause.”

Now THAT is treason. Nancy Pelosi kissing Assad’s ass is treason. Jim Wright and his “Dear Commandante” letter to Daniel Ortega is treason. John F’ing Kerry lying to Congress about what his fellow soldiers like John McCain were doing in Vietnam is treason. Too bad you don’t know the difference.

Indy Conservative on June 2, 2008 at 8:54 PM
Plain and simple.
He is what he is NOW.

You’re right. And I hope that by coddling Obama, Drudge scares the begeebers into McCain to take a cold hard look at himself. When we look into the mirror, we should be able to see ourselves as the Dorian Grey portrait, and rather than pretend otherwise, do the honorable thing with what WAS so important, Marine or not, semper fidelis. America has given John McCain his due in honors and opportunity to serve and feel glorified. He is a mere mortal. Many great warriors have travelled his course, like Murtha, only to disappoint God Almighty and America. McCain’s posse will lead the leader. Sooner than later, McCain had better announce his conservative prospects who’ve agreed to join his cabinet.

We don’t need Lieberman or Hillary or his duo-citizen supporters to muddy the water in McCain’s brain. It is a matter of “face” and McCain had better wash the egg off his own and clean his hands in the process. It’s whistlin’ Dixie, but IF ONLY McCain were using the liberals the way we conservatives feel he is using us; that in the end, McCain proves himself the conquerer of the system. No doubt, that’s what he’s telling himself. What a sorry excuse for what should have been, all of that liberal legislation speaking for his senatorial career. McCain has bound Americans with burdens he himself wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.

Très impressionant. Très. Really. If only you had arrived earlier to so brilliantly correct my thinking, why, how utterly marvelous my you-deprived life might’ve been! I weep at the tragedy of the years we’ve failed to share. *sniff*

…sticking to his principles shamnesty bill, refusing to give up seal the border, persisting against the odds conservatives.

Perhaps this is why some hard-line principled conservatives hate him so much hold his feet to the fire. McCain does what he thinks is right centrist/bi-partisan/moderate, and is not swayed by fashion the constitution or polls what the voters want or group conservative pressure.

McCain is one incredibly tough bipartisan guy. Always has been. I’ll be proud to pull the lever for him vote against Obama in November.

Amazing is right. That McCain even survived is remarkable.

I’m struck by how the torture he endured made him even stronger in captivity. I see that character in his insistence on the surge and in his campaign for the nomination – sticking to his principles, refusing to give up, persisting against the odds.

Perhaps this is why some hard-line conservatives hate him so much. McCain does what he thinks is right, and is not swayed by fashion or polls or group pressure.

On top of that, anyone for open borders, and especially someone as adamant as McCain for keeping the borders open, is, at the very least complicit to the future terrorist activity cause by it.

I enlisted but got a medical discharge due to a heart problem (mitral valve prolapse, a condition which causes me absolutely no trouble at all).

SteveMG on June 2, 2008 at 9:21 PM

Thanks Steve.Your heart may not have been good enough for the military but it sure is in the right place.

This was the paradox—so many guys were so mistreated to get them to say they were grateful. But this is the Communist way.

Ain’t it the truth?

Some people want something so pure, they cannot live. They’re the ones who, if they get to Heave, will complain that God isn’t pure enough.

know now

Sorry

SteveMG on June 2, 2008 at 9:13 PM

Well they better shoot me know, treason while serving in the military…there is only one solution.

Common sense and speaking the truth without bias is what I do. I’m an Independent Idiot Conservative Troll. I make my own mind on the issues.

Fixed it
