Like I said, conservatism will be greatly benefited as a result.

Another insult to the right wing! McDole needs to reach out to his base.

He IS reaching out to HIS base.
It is just that we aren’t members of that base.

Is that a joke?

Drill Now, Drill Here, Pay Less!

Another insult to the right wing! McDole needs to reach out to his base.

I would hope that you get drunk using your brain cell destroying alcohol of choice, and then go play with a loaded shotgun. Conservatism will be greatly benefited as a result.

Thank you.

Wow, you only hope I go kill myself? Well there’s a winning argument. Why not decide next to take it upon yourself to go out and kill the apostates who believe differently than you.

You’re not too far away from that as-is, are you?

But keep your threats and psychosis slightly veiled. I’m sure everyone still respects you simply calling for the death of your political opponents; oddly, not opponents on the other side either, but opponents nominally on your side.

I wonder how you expect all Democrats to die if you want apostate Conservatives to suicide for your political goals… How about the Green Party? Nader supporters? Communist/Marxists?

Do you have death wishes for all of them as well, or are you saving your death wishes for Conservatives who disagree with you?

McCain is flat-lining here in PA.

Is he? I haven’t seen any recent polls. But the surprising thing about the primaries was that Obama won only two of the four bedroom counties surrounding Philly. If McCain spends a good deal of time courting the voters in those four counties, he may swing PA red.

Here are the RCP poll #s for PA. Read em and weep. McCain led in several polls earlier in the year; in recent weeks he has slipped badly, even though Hillary, who was strong here, has dropped out. This after a pretty substantial media buy for McCain’s dumb global warming ad.

Groan. Who’s the “we” in “we are worried about having a couple of white guys on the ticket”?

You have never supported Mitt, and this is clearly just a silly talking point you’ve pulled out of your hat.

Don’t think so. McCain is flat-lining here in PA.

Is he? I haven’t seen any recent polls. But the surprising thing about the primaries was that Obama won only two of the four bedroom counties surrounding Philly. If McCain spends a good deal of time courting the voters in those four counties, he may swing PA red.

As for Bayh, since I lived in Indiana for most of my life and had Hostettler, Sodrel, and Hill as my reps, I doubt very much that putting Bayh on the ticket would significantly affect Indiana’s vote. The only way Obama can win Indiana is with magically appearing “votes” from Lake County (not unlike the primaries). As the man said, Bayh swung far to the left as soon as he got to DC.

So I guess that would make John McCain, Juan McBernie.

A BHO win might in some odd way be good for the Republican party because it would ensure 8 years for the next Republican after he’s is done trashing the country for his 4 years. That would be unthinkable because (to quote McCain) it’s country first, party second.

Give your money to the hardest hitting 527 that comes up. McCain’s going to try and play the gentleman here and that’s not gonna help things. I”m going to donate to this year’s version of the Swift Boat Vets For Truth; as soon as they come on the scene.

3 million buy in four key states attacking Obama on energy. Worth it? You tell me.

Record gas prices, a climate in crisis. John McCain says solve it now, with a balanced plan — alternative energy, conservation, suspending the gas tax AND more prod…

mccain, endorsed by the nytimes for GOP presidential candidate. thats reason enough for conservatives to skip voting on the presidential race this year.

Oh, we’re back to this. And I almost missed it.

I absolutely love it when the so called ‘conservatives’ on this site advocate not voting for McCain. Which is – by a complete coincidence – exactly what the democrats also want us to do. So Obama can be the next president. In the interest of fairness, I am resolved to suspecting that these people who regurgitate this democrat talking point are actually ‘conservatives.’

In which case, I’ll offer this suggestion. If you don’t like the winner of the republican primaries, and you don’t want to support the man that your precious Fred Thompson is endorsing,and you also understand that by not supporting McCain because he is the ‘lesser of two evils’ – you are ( by default ) helping to ensure that the “greater of two evils,” Barack Obama will be the next president, and that is a ( repeat with me ) a bad thing. Because if McCain loses, there is no guarantee that the next republican nominee will be any more conservative than McCain, because a McCain loss will somehow teach the GOP a lesson. Example: When the voters punished George Bush senior for his ‘read my lips, no new taxes’ betrayal, and then didn’t vote for him, or voted for Ross Perot, then the results of punishing Bush for not being conservative enough was: EIGHT years of Bill Clinton, and everything his presidency did to the whitehouse and this country, and then Bush’s son won the presidency after that. So how did that work out for you?

And, for the others who advocate not voting for McCain because Ron Paul lost, or you support Bob Barr, then I would hope that you get drunk using your brain cell destroying alcohol of choice, and then go play with a loaded shotgun. Conservatism will be greatly benefited as a result.

Thank you.

Terrye: Usually about once a week or so, we here in the Houston area get treated to reports in the Chronicle regarding some family that died in a fiery car crash as the result of some drunken illegal smashing into them. Last week it was an HPD Officer. And the illegal was a Vietnamese man. Ran the police officer over and killed him. Its been estimated that there are 400K illegals in the greater Houston area. Hospitals, neighborhoods and schools are suffering. You and all your northern GOP’rs can continue to live life with your head stuck in the sand. Out of sight – out of mind. But if you think Texans are going to be ignored, think again. The situation has deteriorated tremendously since “W” was governor. The comparison you make is simplistic and about 10 years short of reality. Darvin Dowdy

And chasdal, the NYT endorsed McCain by saying he sucked but not as bad as the others. They also endorsed Hillary and no doubt between now and November they will endorse Obama.

And for Chrisake people McCain supports drilling off shore. He supports building nuclear power plants. sheesh.

and after mccain defended kerry back in 2004.
chasdal on July 6, 2008 at 10:06 PM

“defended” how?

steveegg on July 6, 2008 at 8:53 PM

here’s what bipartisanship gets you. and after mccain defended kerry back in 2004. kerry is right about mccain having bad judgement. mccain doesnt know who to trust. those he has worked w/ the most on legislation will now stab him in the back. next up kennedy, followed by feingold.

mccain, endorsed by the nytimes for GOP presidential candidate. thats reason enough for conservatives to skip voting on the presidential race this year.

Conservatives will gag on the “pushing his own party to face climate change”, and rightly so, but it makes the point that McCain’s the one with a track record of bipartisanship, while Obama gave a couple of speeches on the subject.

You have to remember that “bipartisanship” goes but one direction, and that is a direction I don’t approve.

Conservatives will hate these ads….

rockmom on July 6, 2008 at 1:34 PM

You can say that again.

Conservatives will gag on the “pushing his own party to face climate change”, and rightly so,

Rightly so!

I have to agree.

But Bayh has gone left since he went to DC. That kind of pisses people off around here.

For some, perception is reality. When people decide who they are going to vote for, in their minds, they have an image. And McCain-Romney would tend to look a little younger than McCain-Giuliani, or McCain-Thompson. In my opinion.

wise_man on July 6, 2008 at 7:15 PM

I’ll agree to that, to a certain extent, on the age issue. However, as if we are worried about how “white” a certain ticket seems (I’m not, actually), Romney is one of the two or three “whitest” guys in the country. Top ten, anyway.

Big S on July 6, 2008 at 6:38 PM

While Mitt may be 3 years younger than Giuliani, his excess “whiteness” basically cancels it out. Yes, McCain-Romney would be perceived as just as “old and white” as McCain-Giuliani.
