Fred, I am with you on this. One of the things that has come out of the McCain followers that is totally uncalled for is how vitriolic they are becoming toward those of us who won’t drop our conservative principles to support and follow McCain. Sorry, I am NOT interested in becoming a lemming. There is a lot of evidence back in 2001 that McCain wanted the fracture that is going on right now to happen. He has accomplished it.

The GOP base could congeal around McCain and still not pull it off. The general electorate has had it with the GOP cycle, and this cycle will go to the Dems. And Obama will pull it off over Hillary. However, I don’t believe for a moment that Obama will be a two-termer.

Yup, I completely agree, I just *really* hope that one of those three dems does not actually go far enough with amnesty or “universal health care” that we can’t pull back.

Heard my first Obama ad this morning (in N. Texas), the guy definitely has a great spiel.

maybe Tom, I don’t know but probably so. I keep hoping for a revolution at the polls but there ain’t gonna be one this year. The way I look at it if the country is strong enough to survive McCain then it is strong enough to survive either Obama or Hillary….and if it is not then it will give us a good chance of taking the country back in two years..we did so with the GOP’s Contract with America except they reneged on the damn contract!

Guyk,

Yeah, I know we are already on the slippery slope, our slide will only accelerate with Obama/Clinton. How far can we afford to slide? I just don’t know?

I look at France, and from 40,000′ it looks like Sarcozy(sp?) is trying to move to the right. But are we going to wind up with Mexicans and South Americans rioting and lighting cars on fire here before it gets better?

I keep trying to tell myself that a vote for McCain won’t be a vote for a Lib.- that the Dems are have such an ingained anti-Republican reflex, that they’ll fight McCains ideas from habit.

I know that’s not right, but there’s always hope, right?

LoneRider….we are already at the point where the poor has found they can vote themselves money…or at least they vote for the politicians who promise them money. And the government will eventually implode from the lack of money…

The problem with the notion in 4 years of Obama/Clinton and we will be much more conservative populace has its dangers as summed up:

“that when the poor discover that they can vote themselves money, the government will collapse into a war of everyone trying to steal from everyone else”

McCain is gonna have to do some serious ‘reach around’ to get my vote and reaching out to the Christian right wing is a sure way to lose it. I will not now nor never again vote for any candidate who runs on the premise that Christian morality should be the law of the nation.

Some are saying that McCain should get the Baptist Mullah as his VP..and I say that is a guarantee that the dim-a-crits win. McCain might be able to pull the neo libertarian and conservative independent vote if he comes out hard against amnesty for illegal immigrants and promises to veto the pork laden spending bills from congress and give us some hope that the Iraq war can either be won and won fast or that he will pull up our pants and come home and allow the ragheads to kill each other instead of American troops. But I don’t see this happening ..not yet anyway. SO it still looks like a write in for MICKY MOUSE who afterall has really helped the economy of Orlando Florida..
