SHOCKER: Primary opponents fighting each other for nomination. Check your history books, this is par for the course.
If McCain is the nominee, then Chuck Norris has failed.
This will not just destroy the Republican Party, it will mark the end of all things, even NASCAR.
thought that John McCain would destroy the Republican Party, I would have gladly switched my party registration a month ago and went to the Republican Caucus tonight and voted for him.
As it is, I will be attending the Democratic caucus tonight and voting for Hillary, as I think she is the strongest candidate to… well, destroy McCain in November.
That’s what McCain is claiming, and I’m having trouble coming up with another explanation for the remark: “probably the last person I would hve wanted to have write a letter for me …”
Then again, everything I’ve seen of Romney so far is that he’s a Little Lord Fauntleroy in person, and relies on others to do the dirty attacking.
There’s a reason why McCain, Huckabee, Giuliani, etc. etc. were all united on one point: they all loathe Romney as a person.
very well put!
He will earn their hate while saving the party.
Now I am getting an image of Fred Thompson revising Slim Pickens role in Dr. Strangelove; riding an atomic bomb out of the planes bay doors into oblivion, kicking it with his spurs and beating it with his cowboy hat…
Thank you go blue !
James Dobson and Ann Coulter notwithstanding, most conservatives are starting to accept the fact that McCain will be the GOP nominee, and may actually be able to win the White House in Nov.
The Dr. StrangeLove comment was in response to Dave calling McCain FDR, and was tongue in cheek.
I don’t hate McCain, I just hate that he is ahead.
If the choice in November is Hillary or McCain, I will vote for McCain.
My point was, I will not send him money or work for him. And I am not alone.
He will lose just like Bob Dole, because the base can’t look their friends in the face and say I support this man.
Hillary would be closer to McCain than Obama, but I like Obama. I would trust what Obama said way before Hillary.
I would vote for neither. Just won’t feel the urge to join a Militia if Obama is elected. (JK)
Their hate filled, bombastic rhetoric turns off more and more of the general public everyday.
Chicken Hawks questioning the values of a true American War Hero – what a sad commentary on our times.
Don’t care for Dobson, but he is not what I would call a hater either.

Show me the hate here. I don’t see it. I see a man speaking his convictions about issues near and dear to him.
Rush doesn’t hate McCain personally. He wants to defeat him politically so he can support someone with a better record.
they look at the word Conservative and not that this man nearly died as a P.O.W. When these hate-filled pricks can spend the same amount of time in a POW camp, then maybe I will listen to them.
I’m sorry, I’m trying to wrap my mind around this-are you saying that just because John McCain was a POW, we should rollover and give a rat’s butt about any of his positions?
That a good life-story is now the only thing Republicans should care about?
That ideas, values, and policy positions are second if someone has a really inspiring past?
JFK, Bob Dole, George HW Bush, John McCain, Duke Cinningham, are all true american military heros.
My problem is not what happended 35-40 years ago in Veitnam.
My problem is how he voted for the last 25 years in Washinton DC.
Now there is a good segway.
Bob Dole is to 1996, what John McCain will be to 2008.
Both are decorated war veterans. Both compromised regularly with the Dem’s.
Both are to the left of the average Republican, but right of Clinton. Both instill apathy in the Republican base.
And Both LOST or will LOSE to Clinton in the General election.
….that he ran against a popular and successful incumbent president who had presided over four years of peace and prosperity.
The GOP could have run Reagan and he would lost in ’96 to Bill Clinton.
Reagan would have mopped the floor with Billy boy.
Clinton did not get even 50% of the vote, he just got more than poor Bob Dole.
…but not necessarily because of the usual policy reasons sighted by conservative talk radio. To put it bluntly, the significant problem with McCain is his age.
If he gets the GOP nominee and goes up against Obama the image of these two men standing side-by-side on a stage will speak volumes – rightly or wrongly, the image will say very clearly that the GOP is for yester-year, while the Democrats are the future. To the average voter who doesn’t read much about the candidates, but tunes in for the debates, this will be the indelible image.
And consider this – if McCain were to win in November, and if he were to run for re-election, he’d be 76 years old. In my opinion, this will expose him to a much tougher re-election bid than a younger candidate.
But if McCain was really as Reagan as he claims, we could overcome the age thing (again).
His real problem is not will the base vote for him, its will they work for him.
I won’t.
sounds like a problem for both parties…
I agree completely. McCain, like Dole, Kerry, Gore and so many other losers in presidential history has no charisma. He looks like he’s 100 years old and could fall over any minute. Its sad to think the best the GOP can field is McCain or Romney.
I have no problem with his actual age, and as has been stated before, Reagan overcame age issues, but he looked strong, confident and charismatic. I think both parties are fighting to hand the election to the other.
Dobson wants to complain about this country but he “boycotts” the election. Is that suppose to get me to not vote? Honestly, what he says doesnt change my vote. Guess he will boycott this election like he did in 2004 for Coors!
when this a$$hole boycotts an election (don’t get me wrong, I’d love for him to burn his voter registration card and encourage his followers to do the same), no one questions his patriotism, yet let one Democrat express a policy disagreement with the administration and we they are instantly not patriotic?
LOL
Oh, and did you not notice
Didn’t you get the memo?
Hopefully, McCain (or Romney) will inspire conservatives to eradicate the neoconservative gene in the Republican party. Neocons are liberals (progressives) with a slightly different “to do” list. One thing that isn’t different between neocons and liberals is the need to spend, spend, spend. Neocons want to spend, spend, spend on militaristic imperialism; liberals want to spend, spend, spend to construct a socialist agenda that works with the UN.
I suspect the Ron Paul blimp gets completely deflated tonight. He will win his congressional seat again, and that is good enough.
But we conservatives will be back. Not as Paultards. Call me Conservatard. Maybe I’ll change my name ….
and a life long Republican and even she thinks he looks old.
What the Republican and Evangelicals are banking on is that their base will associate the thumping they are going to take in November with McCain and not with their failed ideology or their darling George Bush. The pundits and theocrats have their fingers crossed that McCain will become the scapegoat and George Bush will as usual skirt responsibility for the awful state of our nation. If mainstream Republicans see through this scam then the pundits and theocrats will end up ranting to a smaller and smaller base.
I went to my Democratic caucus last night and we had seven times the turnout of our previous best. The place was packed and people were hungry to vote and participate. I have never seen anything like it. Not even St. Ronnie himself could win as a conservative this year. The Republican Party won’t be extinct but it is ideologically bankrupt and has proven that people who hate government can’t be trusted to run it competently.
standing next to his mother, I thought they looked more like brother and sister than parent and child.
