Nah, We MDSers fully understand that he is also really into:
‘Global Warming’ / ‘Cap and Trade’ economy destruction;
Restrictions on the First Amendment;
Hatred of conservatives;
pro-globalism / anti-sovereignty;
lots of other good stuff.

McCain is like a really bad Chinese Buffet:
Lots and lots to choose from; not much of it is healthy for you. Some if it may taste good at first bite, but it will leave you with salmonella in the very near future.

He’s the only real bridge the campaign has with us

What???
According to all of the MDSers, McCain is all about the Mexicans.

I’ve said this before…get McCain in the White House, and THEN rake him over the coals on any and every issue you want to. “Fear mongering” over Obama? Truth be told…I am VERY scared of an Obama presidency. You’re not, obviously.

OK, raking McCain over the coals did so well in changing his mind on Amnesty, and on McCain Feingold. Why we have so many examples of our ability to modify McCain’s approach to issues and his opinions. Just look at the Man Made Global Warming. Certainly a majority of people don’t think it’s an issue. So of course John McCain is in favor of a huge increase in taxes and costs with his cap and trade nonsense.

He won’t even consider talking to someone who says that Global Warming isn’t happening.

Rake him over the coals, you’d have a better chance of winning an argument with a pig. In that case, if you lost the argument, you could always roast the pig on the coals, you couldn’t do squat to McCain, we’ve never had any influence over him.

Delude yourself if you want to amigo, but while you are afraid of an Obama Presidency, you should be nearly as afraid of a McCain Presidency.

Personally, I’m investing in shotgun shells and canned food.

P.S. I wouldn’t put it past him to be some sort of coyote, drug smuggling, hooker poaching crime lord.

What would you give up for McCain to win? What would you sacrifice for the vote of every hold out here? Tell you what. Send me your Xbox and your copy of GTA IV, and $1000, and I’ll vote for McCain. What? You won’t do that? I guess you don’t want to win that bad. So why do you think you can ask others to set aside their objections for nothing, when you’re willing to sacrifice nothing. See, I think all this fear mongering over Obama is cr*p. If the GOP was that worried about winning, we would either have a better candidate, or he would actually be trying to win. Not attacking your opponent on his many gaffes and weaknesses, and not exploiting kitchen table issues makes McCain look like an out of touch elitist, which is pretty much why we should have had almost any other candidate to begin with.

First off, I’m not “giving up” anything by supporting John McCain. I have only everything to gain, nothing to lose.

And for the record, mine is a PS3, not an XBox (and no, you can’t have my GTA4 ;P)

I’ve said this before…get McCain in the White House, and THEN rake him over the coals on any and every issue you want to. “Fear mongering” over Obama? Truth be told…I am VERY scared of an Obama presidency. You’re not, obviously.

Here’s the kicker, tho:

Shoulda woulda coulda.

So, are you for illegal aliens?

Pass the lube…

So the GOP’s strong issue is the War on Terror, and it’s not in the top five this year. Oh Dear, has the war gone on so long as to be accepted at least for now, as part of the normal political landscape? It would appear so.

Now, we have candidates from both parties who are morons when it comes to the economy. We have candidates from both parties who are big government solution people, and both of the morons are of the opinion that Global Warming is man made, and all too real.

Popular in the press, and college campus, but not really all that popular in real working world America. With the possible exception of Iowa. Yet, we’ve hitched out wagon to a mule who won’t go conservative on any issue, so let’s pretend that he’s real different on those issues. Yeah, he’s not quite as liberal as Obama on most of them.

Energy and gas prices? He’s not conservative, he’s just not as liberal as Obama. I’m surprised that he hasn’t hired Al Gore as a consultant on Global Warming and energy issues.

Exit question: Thanks to Maliki, has Maverick’s campaign now reached a sufficient crisis level that conservatives simply have to swallow hard and let this go?

Why should we have to let it go? It’s an important issue to many people, one with far reaching consequences should McCain and Hernandez get their way. If McCain is truly concerned about the number of votes he is getting, and I thought a campaign was about persuading people to vote for you, I would think McCain should be the one to let Hernandez go. Personally, even without the amnesty issue hanging over him, McCain is a lackluster candidate. His refusal to engage Obama except in the most generic way makes him look weak and inconsistent compared to the blistering attacks he launched on fellow Republicans during the primary. If anybody needs to be let go, it’s McCain. I don’t care if the primaries are over. As far as I’m concerned, we don’t have a real candidate yet. And I’m not backing off that.

I don’t care for him either. But we have an election to win. The primaries are over.

I’m no lib and still never voting for McNumbnuts. He is loathsome in the extreme, almost as much as Hussein.

HE’s the democrat, not those of us that see him for what he truly is.

There is little he can do at this point to EARN my vote.

dogsoldier on July 22, 2008 at 6:01 PM

Don’t feel bad dog. I wrote Jindal and told him to sit this election out. Don’t get sucked into losing with McCain. He is the voice of the future, and this is the last gasp of the country club blue bloods. When they lose this election, the lack of conservative Republican will be a dinosaur with the rest of the people who think Government can solve any problem.

Exit question: Thanks to Maliki, has Maverick’s campaign now reached a sufficient crisis level that conservatives simply have to swallow hard and let this go?

Sure, let’s let that go. We let freedom of speech go via McCain Feingold. We let Bankruptcy Reform go, let’s just say goodbye to this as well. In fact, let’s redefine Conservative again to mean anyone who has ever said that Government should be smaller, and abortions are bad. Actions don’t mean anything anyway, it’s how the candidate claims to feel right?

Shift hard left again, and pretend it’s the conservative thing to do. Maliki caught us with out pants down, and McCain should have been prepared for it. He should have said that if the Iraqi Government and the commanders on the ground agree, then yes, a removal of troops is most certainly warranted. However we should remove those troops carefully, and with a look to how conditions on the ground remain after each Brigade’s withdrawal.

No, not McCain. “Obama wants to lose the war.” Oh darn, now Iraq wants us out? “Obama and Iraq want us to lose the war?”

Sounds a lot dumber that way. Maliki and the Iraqi Government know they’re first up against the wall if the Terrorists take over, so they’re not likely to try and do something that sets themselves up for failure.

Chudi, the problem is not immigrants. It’s the numbers. I am begging you to watch this.

RushBaby on July 22, 2008 at 5:00 PM

Hi RushBaby,

I respectfully disagree.

Yes, I have watched videos of Roy Beck in the past. He is right on a lot of stuff.

Personally, I believe the problem is not one of quantity or numbers.

The problem is moral in nature.

The problem is the lawlessness, crime, relativism, SSN theft, identity theft, and anarchy that accompanies illegal immigration.

I believe these hard-working, law-abiding, USA citizens agree with me too.

HE’s the democrat, not those of us that see him for what he truly is.

There is little he can do at this point to EARN my vote.

What does that thread have to do with me, or McCain?

JetBoy on July 22, 2008 at 5:38 PM

I’m just saying that we had a rather lengthy illegal immigration discussion recently and that video was a great addition to the conversation. Thought you might like to watch it in case you didn’t get a chance earlier. Sorry. Sould have explained myself better in my previous post.

Thanks to Maliki…

AP, I’m confused as to why you keep blaming Maliki for what the media did to his comments. It’s as clear as day, from todays reports about Obama and Maliki’s chat, that they do not share the “same plan”. Maliki insists on following conditions on the ground, while Obama does not.

It’s like saying Al Gore and George Bush had the “same plan” for disarming Saddam Hussein because they had overlapping goals for disarming him.

Zetterson on July 22, 2008 at 5:21 PM

What does that thread have to do with me, or McCain?

has Maverick’s campaign now reached a sufficient crisis level … ?

Allah

Uh … crisis? What crisis?

Fer cripes sake…forget about Juan Hernandez, people!

I don’t care for him either. But we have an election to win. The primaries are over.

JetBoy on July 22, 2008 at 5:12 PM

JetBoy, we missed you on the illegal immigration debate earlier today. Here’s the link in case you would like to chime in: http://hotair.com/archives/2008/07/21/video-mother-weeps-over-family-murdered-by-illegal-alien-gang-member/
I just know you wouldn’t want to have missed that one.

Zetterson on July 22, 2008 at 5:18 PM

You are correct. I somehow got BCC’d and it wound up in my spam folder.

Just goes to show you, check your spam everyone once in a while, you never know what you will find.

RobertInAustin on July 22, 2008 at 5:11 PM

I believe that was an email memo. Copied on the email was Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Teddy Kennedy, Geraldo Rivera, La Raza, AFLCIO, Felipe Calderone, Bill Clinton and Russ Feingold.
