Oh my What have I done now?? :)

I don’t care who McCain has in his corner. I won’t vote for him. I’ll vote third party or leave it blank. McCain was a war hero and if they want to put up his statue at Annapolis, I’ll cheer for that. He’s been a mediocre Senator and he’d be a terrible President. There may be more votes in the mushy middle than are in the base, but no Republican will get enough of them to make up for the lose of the base.

How does it strike me? Like a swift kick in the groin. Of course, I’m just one of the so-called bigots, so what do I know?

And I WOULD defect to Hitlary or Obama. I’d rather be stabbed in the front than the back. If I’m being thrown overboard from the Titanic, then I’d rather just take a big gulp of seawater and expedite the inevitable. This election is our last chance of a rescue boat.

Let’s just say I have a certain set of potential write-in tickets in mind in that eventuality. Yes, I know that will result in a Hiliary or Hussein Obama Presidency, but I’m convinced that would happen anyway.

SeeDubya, if evilned said that, I don’t think he is so far off base. Senator Grahamnesty showed first in Michigan, but it was pretty well ignored by all the press. I just happened to catch him at a McCain rally in the background. There was a rumor that Lieberman would be Mc’s chosen running mate but I have to go with the gay blade from South Carolina. Considering all the flack that Grahamnesty caught from his own state over the “No Illegal Left Behind” bill, why would McCain drag him out on the podium there with him? Why would you have a guy that invokes such anger in his own state standing there with you when you are trying to win that state? The deal has been cut and if the GOP is dumb enough to nominate McCain, it will be a McCain/Graham Amnesty Dream team that will hand the election to Obama or Clinton.

Is “gingerly, with a little slap” the correct answer to the question in this entry’s title?

Yeah, Graham doesn’t seem like he’d throw a fight-ending haymaker, does he?

As for the question about Armitage, the answer is “from behind with one hand, while the other rams the knife in.”

If McCain (or Huckster) is the nominee, I’ll vote straight Democrat in a heartbeat. I’m tired of providing RINO cover for socialism, and if this country needs to be slagged down and reforged, I’d rather turn up the furnace.

i can’t catch McCain fever.….. i spent 20 years in the NG, and i’m immune to bullshit.

since Fred is out, my last, not best, hope is Rudy, but the MSM is doing everything they can to bury him & promote the Manchurian.

i’ll vote in the Cali primary, and i’ll vote in November, since there are other things on the ballot, but there’s no way i’m voting for McCain, ever. i’ll just leave the presidential vote blank, or punch out all the options, just to be difficult. %-)

if the whole base does something similar, so that the total numbers of people voting doesn’t match the votes counted for President, maybe someone will get the message: “yes, you dumb bastards: we went & voted, but we didn’t support your RINO.….” that will be good ammo for the inevitable “i have a mandate” speeches the Dumbocrat will be giving.

JMHO.….. red

McCain has been horribly maligned for simply doing his job. He actually tried to arrive at a legislative solution for a broken immigration policy (isn’t that what senators are supposed to do?), and was savaged by the scorched-earth partisans in his own party. Contrary to the opinion of the so-called “Republican base”, the solution to our immigration problems is not to purchase 12 million pairs of handcuffs. If the Republicans want to win, they will strive to “sieze the middle”, what every sucessful presidential candidate has done at least as far back as Eisenhower.

I am what is sometimes called a “Reagan Democrat”. While I frequently vote for superior Republican candidates, I just can’t abide some of the sleazier elements of the party’s connection to rapacious businessmen and religious fanatics. I sincerely look forward to voting to John McCain in November.

Interesting reading these comments. I think McCain-Graham would be a pretty attractive ticket. Of course, I am a former republican, now democrat, about to change to being an independent. I think highly partisan politics is pretty crappy. This leaves me not supporting Clinton for the democratic nomination. I think Obama is pretty refreshing, but I don’t think he is partisan enough for the hard-line democrats. I think McCain and Graham, like Specter and Warner, have a lot of integrity. I’m not comfortable with anyone injecting too much religion into politics, but I feel like Romney has crossed the line even further than Huckabee on that. We have freedom of religion in this country because the founders understood that religion was irrational and divisive. Most of my ancestors came to America because they had suffered religious intolerance in Europe. Interestingly, in some cases, this was intolerance of protestants by other protestants. After they got to America, a number of them experienced the same thing—everything from being accused of being witches to being the wrong kind of Christians (for example, baptists instead of puritan/congregationalists, anglicans instead of puritans, quakers instead of presbyterians, presbyterians instead of anglicans, etc.). One of my ancestors had two sisters hung for being witches, but she escaped execution and sued the hell out of the authorities and won a judgement against them on behalf of her dead sisters. Other ancestors were Roger Williams and Obediah Holmes—early American Baptists. Holmes was whipped by the puritans for holding religious discussions at home. Williams and Holmes, among others, realized that religious intolerance was so deeply ingrained in people that the only solution was to keep religion and political power seperate. Now we have idiots trying to undo that, because they are about christianity just like the taliban are about islam. The old “I’m right, and everyione else is wrong” position. We will never change some people from thinking that what they believe is the only correct belief, but what is essential and is constitutionally guaranteed in America is that you are as entitled to your belief as I am entitled to mine. Of course, we all continue to be amazed at how ANYONE could POSSIBLY believe what others consider unquestionably true.

Thats an old argument. We don’t have to buy handcuffs. Cut off all aid and jobs and they will leave. As for the “middle” you should read and listen to what the Mexican politicians are saying. They say they will take over America because we are tired old white people who quit having babies. They say we should go back to the Santa Maria. These are the American/Mexican polliticians saying this. And you must be very wealthy if you don’t mind paying for free medical and welfare for 15 million illegals. Plus the jobs we are losing. They have now come up with this virtual fence. They can spot illegals and even if they are carrying backpacks. But then since Bush pulled most of the Border Patrol off the border all they can do is say “Yup, there they are. Yup,there they go.” ExPres Fox has a million dollar plan going. He is making appearances on the Mexican TV station and on MSNBC to tell us how much we need the illegals. and what heartless racists we are. Sure, he can change my mind. NOT.

Oprah Winfrey has a new religion she is hyping. No God and no sin and no rugged cross. Seems this woman heard a voice that told her about it and she wrote it all down. Oprah is buying this. There are a lot of people who hear voices. I guess noone took the time to make them into a book. Oprah bought a thousand copies she wants to hand out. I hope she sends me one in case I run out of toilet paper.
