So Much for a Warm Welcome

McCain and his stooges are so obvious in their disgust for conservatives. I have no doubt that McCain would try to settle a lot of old scores - but he is never going to get the chance, thank God. The entire Republican establishment and AIr Force One fulll of lipstick will not make any difference. You would have to drug every conservative and brainwash them to make them believe or forget McCain's treachery. And when they woke up, he;d still be there smirking, the little sawed off runt.

I think the "conservative" leaders are pissed off that Josef Stalin is not available to nominate. I've voted Republican since Reagan, but have become disallusioned with the far right. They are no better than Pelosi/Reid. A bunch of quacks. Thank you John McCain.

What the hell good is a victory if upon achieving it you turn around and implement the same agenda of the statist liberals that you fought against in the first place? My lack of interest in "fighting climate change " isn't because the Democrats are in favor of doing so; it comes from my belief that a struggle against universal dynamism is an idea too stupid to quantify in terms of magnitude.Said idea doesn't become any less ridiculous when advocated by a Republican. Fighting is only justifiable when there is something worthwile to gain, and as of Romney's departure from the race, this fight is over. I see no scenario by which someone competent and qualified becomes the next president. If not wanting to vote for an ill-tempered halfwit that would equate oil drilling in the ANWR to drilling for oil in the Grand Canyon, then God save us.

The venom reflected in this story is instructive about what is wrong with America today. Each side cares more about ideology and attack than it does about attacking the real problems we face as a nation - problems that grow more pressing with each year that we fail to take action: health care, energy, the war in Iraq, education, and the national debt, to name only a few. If we do not put aside our differences and resolve these problems, we will sufffer the consequences.

I am a Hillary democrat. If Hillary falters given the onslaught by all those in the party, I will become a republican. I want to start promoting the ideal ticket: John McCain and his running mate, Michael Bloomberg. John for foreign affairs/Iraq/terrorism and Michael to fix the broken economy. I am so charged, and not alone as I talk with my friends.

I have voted for the democratic candidate in every presidential election since I was 20 years old and I am now a 70 year old female retired college administrator. I am leaning toward Senator McCain (however, there are still 8 months left for me to mull this over). I honestly believe in that 4 to 8 years when Senator Obama has more experience he would make a good president. Although I am somewhat of a feminist, I do know that Senator Clinton has too many enemies in and out of Congress to be effective. Although the President is the leader of the free world, he/she is not the only leader of the United States. It will take someone who can compromise, who is respected, and who is experienced and wise to undo the damage that President Bush has done to the morale of the citizens of this country.
