I mean, who on the left would demand that same sort of slavish hero-worship?

See, you come off as sarcastic HERE because in the next breath you answer your own question HERE:

Obama? Pelosi? The Clintons?

Then you get to this part and I question your connection to reality by making the most foolish statement I’ve seen around here in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time…

No, they all get criticized routinely by the left. It’s only the right that demands subservience to its masters.

Obama gets criticized by the left? Really? The Clintons too?

Uh, wait, there’s a common expression for claims like that, hold on, it’ll come to me…

Oh yeah: HORSESHIT!

Obama could get a city blown up and the left would blame either Bush for “inciting our enemies to attack” and leaving us “vulnerable through his misadventures abroad” or just blame America for “…being a racist country that had it coming and DON’T YOU DARE BLAME OUR BLACK PRESIDENT YOU RACIST BASTARDS!!!”

You’re so full of shit your text displays as brown on the page.

Only the right that demands subservience…so when that skag Garaffalo calls the people at the tea parties racists, driven by nothing other than racism against “their black president” or Tony Bennett saying that the American people should “support 0bama in EVERYTHING he wants to do.” or the way people who DO criticize 0bama are treated by the press, that’s not trying to whip a whole damn country into subservience?

Back to Trollville with you…

Rush and Palin…simply can’t be criticized without forfeiting some of one’s credibility as a right-winger

If you needed a distillation of why the conservative movement in this country is in the toilet, there you have it.

I mean, who on the left would demand that same sort of slavish hero-worship? Obama? Pelosi? The Clintons? No, they all get criticized routinely by the left. It’s only the right that demands subservience to its masters.

“She is absolutely right” in her assessment that that she belongs to a different Republican Party than he does, Limbaugh said during his radio show: “The Republican Party she belongs to gets shellacked election after election after election.”…

Gee, what about those Presidential primary elections that John McCain was in. He didnt get shellacked in those, despite Rush’s antipathy towards him..

And where is the Republican Party that Limbaugh belongs to that doesn’t get shellacked election after election? In his imagination, apparently. It ain’t out here in the real world.

She was the wife of a U.S. Navy Admiral she is the mother of a war hero and U.S. Senator. She is the Grandmother of 3 fine U.S. Servicemen and a family who values service to the U.S. over their own safety. It is far more than Rush Limbaugh who has never once found the time to serve his country unless he was being healthily compensated for it.

Lets put it in perspective here.

Ah, I see you’ve decided to denigrate capitalism in your comments, Squid…just like Howard “We’ve Had Enough of Capitalism” Dean?

I don’t have a problem with people choosing to fight Totalitarianism in their own way, and becoming entrepreneurs (and ultimately wealthy as a result) is by far one of the best ways to do so…they help keep people employed and free in the process.

I dare say Cindy McCain has done more along those lines than anyone else in that family…how many people has John himself employed as a Senator WITHOUT taxpayer money? (Hint: none.)

I’m not knocking those who fight for our country…NOT EVEN CLOSE. I live around, work with, and am friends with many who do exactly that, and am one of the BIGGEST supporters of our military.

But I don’t begrudge those who pursue the American Dream of making money, either…as those who help themselves help society.

Squid Shark on May 14, 2009 at 10:43 PM

Welcome troll.

McCain was a miserable, failed presidential candidate. I don’t care what he has to say anymore, let alone what his mother or daughter have to say.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Squid Shark on May 15, 2009 at 5:51 AM

Riiiiiight.

Wow, John McCain looks older than his own mother.
Grafted on May 14, 2009 at 11:25 PM

Are you sure they are actually two different people?

csdeven on May 15, 2009 at 1:07 AM

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Lets put it in perspective here.

Squid Shark on May 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM

Yes, lets. The woman is a religious bigot.

Yeah, it was all those indies infiltrating closed primaries. So much nonsense. So little time.

Chekote on May 14, 2009 at 10:48 PM

BUT BUT BUT it was Dems…sabotage…psychology…not our fault…

That is fine, but the “Base” does not win elections by itself.

But keep pretending like it does, we will see who gets “shellacked”

At least she has managed not to get pregnant.

Rush isn’t the head of the party. He has consistently identified himself as a conservative first; the GOP lines up more as a party to support than the Democrats. So, not much choice for him as to who to support. As to the GOP flying high, go look at the fencepost in the a** milquetoast moderate you nominated for President if you want a better picture of why the GOP is lying face first in a garbage heap right now. Entertainer or not, I hear a better vision of America out of one of his monologues than any speech that Shamnesty John ever made.

I thought John McCain was a war hero or something?

Having his mommy fight his battles with Rush Limbaugh?

I’d much rather Rush Limbaugh than President McCain be the standard-bearer for the conservative movement.

Go home to mommy, Johnny Boy.

seanrobins on May 14, 2009 at 6:58 PM

Look, I loathe John McCain’s self-aggrandizing “bipartisanship” shtick and his policies. And I happen to think that he holds wicked, spiteful grudges.

But John McCain is indeed a war hero. That alone is reason enough to treat him with more respect than you’ve shown.

This isn’t the DU or the Kos litterbox. We’re better than that.

Gotta dump on both major sides so you don’t dare appear to actually take a side.
