I do have complaints against the Primary and what happened in it. And I can see changing to Independent again under certain circumstances. But for now Obama is a disaster I vote McCain.

Uhm…McCain voted to confirm Ginsburg.

Yeah, back when the measure used to be that the POTUS was entitled to their nominee unless they could be demonstrated to be unqualified. Times have changed in the Senate.

I doubt anyone but McCain thinks he’ll get a substantial number of Hillarites to vote for him. The RNC strategy with these ads is probably to get more disgruntled PUMAs than disgruntled conservatives to stay home.

The polling right now suggests that 25% of Hillbots will vote McCain. Perhaps more will stay home. Either way, PUMA works to Maverick’s advantage.

Talk is cheap and 25 years of liberal actions

LOL. Keep repeating that line that McCain is a liberal. Youre doing aheckofajoerb, Fletch54. Let’s inject a wee bit of truth into this claim that McCain is a big, bad, skerry liberal.

For those who see no difference between McCain and the two Democrats, this serves as a reminder that while McCain drifts to the middle on some issues, a large chasm exists between the nominees that will face off in November.

Debra Bartoshevich was a Wisconsin national delegate who was stripped of her delegate status by the Wisconsin Democratic Party after publicly declaring she might vote for John McCain. Bartoshevich is now featured in the latest John McCain ad….

argh! If McCain would go after the 60% of the country that is conservative, he would not have to deal with Clinton’s unhappy campers.

I doubt anyone but McCain thinks he’ll get a substantial number of Hillarites to vote for him. The RNC strategy with these ads is probably to get more disgruntled PUMAs than disgruntled conservatives to stay home.

That being said, my proselytizing atheist, upper-middle-class, middle-aged, socialist, animal-worshipping, white female manager would have voted for Her Thighness, but has opted for McCain…

So I’m going to have to settle for NotObama who won’t fill two more SCOTUS seats with Ginsberg clones.

Uhm…McCain voted to confirm Ginsburg. Talk is cheap and 25 years of liberal actions speak louder than 6 months of weak campaign rhetoric.

What are the chances Debra gets painted as a racist?

I’d say there isn’t a chance….It’s a certainty

But, using an apostate Hill-puma in a Mav ad–Priceless

“You go, girl!”

Also, let’s hope Maverick continues going for it.

Really deserves a raise for his or her work lately: No prisoners. For more on Debra Bartoshevich and how she became a maverick (ahem), read this post by Ed Morrissey. Technorati tags: Debra Bartoshevich, PUMA, John McCain, McCain Democrats, political…

P.S. One can dream.

I’d say the country is 40% conservative, 35% liberal, and the rest just vote for the candidate who gives the most warm fuzzies.

I think you are a bit to optimistic, especially given the voting record of these past few years.

This woman is cute, she is upbeat, the ad is inviting to Democrats & Independents, there is some humor – pls stop being such grouches all the time. McCain this, McCain that, McCain wah wah wah.. lol Any way I look at this, McCain is light years better for your President than Obama. People call themselves in America one issue voters? Well this is one issue that should trump all your other one issues!

So please make more cheery soccermom type lady ads holding up McCain signs, and run them during commercial breaks for DNC coverage, I love it.

This is the only reason he’ll win (if he wins), and he doesn’t care. His only campaign promise is that he’s not Obama. We’ll see if it will work. . . but it isn’t a process that selects the best and brightest to lead this country. Our democracy is a sham.

You are skating on pretty thin ice, Thacker. You are close to inferring that there is a better way of selecting “the best and the brightest.” That is a slippery slope to the end of democracy and the beginning of fascism or some other form of authoritarianism.

Yes, it is true that our system is imperfect. For most voters, elections are popularity contests. Many or most voters do not know the issues or how their candidate stands on them. I find this sad, but then what is the alternative?

There is no alternative that does not lead to your erosion of rights as an American. If you start taking our rights away, then the idea or dream of America will cease to exist.
