I am not intellectually dishonest, HebrewToYou.

Yes, you are. You claimed that quote refuted misterpeasea’s position — in fact, you said it proved him a liar. In reality, it did no such thing. McCain is NOT a conservative and using his lifetime ACU rating is misleading.

But, hey, keep on truckin’ and trollin’.

If you want to call Ed Morrissey or the American Conservative Union liars, or misleading, or dishonest … then by all means, go ahead.

I started off for Duncan Hunter. When he went no where, I switched to Fred. When he dropped out, I switched to Rudy because Romney seemed unelectable and McCain unacceptable. Then Rudy dropped out, and I switched to Romney. So McCain was not among my first four choices, but he’s loads better than Obama!

wise_man, how about showing the McCain’s conservative rating over the last few years as a trend?

Here’s a nice tidbit: Senator McCain’s 39th place ACU rating showing among senators serving in 2006. McCain scored only 65, putting him in 47th place for that year. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE), for example, scored 64 and 75, respectively.

Source: American Thinker

2007: 80
2006: 65
2005: 80
2004: 72
2003: 80
2002: 72
2001: 68
2000: 81

Put in perspective, in this decade McCain’s rating is only 74.75. Hardly the rating of a true-blue conservative…. I especially love the 2006 score of 65. What a guy!

wise_man: intellectually dishonest.

Meanwhile, John McCain is still a liberal.

Hey look at this, misterpeasea is lying again.

The American Conservative Union has released its report on Congress for 2007, and John McCain will welcome the results. Despite missing a number of votes while campaigning for President, McCain voted often enough to win a rating of 80, a significant improvement over the 65 he got in 2006. That approximates his lifetime rating of 82.16 and gives McCain a little more ammunition for his argument to represent conservative values. HotAir May 14, 2008 by Ed Morrissey .

I’ve repeatedly shown you the truth, and you repeatedly lie. And lie again. And again.

Meanwhile, John McCain is still a liberal. Whose signature legislation has the names of liberals all over it. Including McCain-Feingold, which single-handedly erased the Republican advantiage in fund-raising.

And now he has the nerve to whine about Bambi turning down public financing. Similar to you whining about critics of John McCain.

scroll down to “Obama lacks judgment on terror” and Watch Rudy.

Oh wait.

You REALLY need a new nic… your current one just doesn’t fit. I’ve known some real idiots in my time, but you just seem to parade it all over the threads. You’re like the emperor with no clothes! …and confoundedly ecstatic about it!

sycophants

Thanks tommy. I’ve always spelled it psycho pants.

And somewhere the underside of a bridge is missing its troll…

But I do like his movies, except for Curly Sue.

You copy and paste the same garbage into every Fred thread. Get a grip and lose the phony hate.

Seriously? He does? That’s even more pathetic.

But he came off as lackluster.

You ate up the media narrative hook, line and sinker. He came off as a man who didn’t desire power. He came off as a man who wanted to be a true public servant. He came off as a man with a thorough grasp of the issues. But instead of focusing on what he was saying, all we got from the media was analysis stating that he lacks the “fire in his belly.”

Ridiculous.

Quit whining. Fred Thompson is one of the most intelligent (anti) politicians we have on our side.

Connie on June 19, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Connie, I’m not a whiner and I’m not whining in the least. I am quite aware of Mr Thompson’s intelligence. I was pulling as hard for Fred to get in the race as anyone. I was hoping he would come out swinging. But he came off as lackluster. I’m not whining, I’m simply disappointed.

Really don’t care about Fred “!” anymore. He’s dead to me.
He had his chance and didn’t take it seriously. He let me (and I think many poster’s here as well) way down. Just go away Fred.

He is still a sad excuse for an American

Pot, meet kettle. Your anger towards Fred! is quite unhealthy. Seek help.

tommylotto on June 19, 2008 at 12:17 PM

You’re still using these same ridiculous talking points to bash Fred? Unbelievable.
