So Much for a Warm Welcome

I'm not one to complain about the strong influence of evangelicals and the far cultural right in the Republican party, but this news really bothers me. In their caustic attacks on McCain the groups I've named have indicated that they believe that they SHOULD have the final say on who the nominee of the Republican party is. McCain's great crossover appeal is a unique opportunity to show Limbaugh et al. that they do not own the party. Evangelicals and the far right need to know: we can do it without you, and come November I'll bet few of you have the sand to vote for someone other than McCain. You had an influential eight years. Time for some new blood.

Go John!!! I am not worried about big bills. I AM worried about having a country. Why is no one worried about our war with the Iragi Muslims? They mean to have ths country, and all countries, Muslim rven if they have to kill us all. We need McCain right now. He at least has prooven his love and loyaty and his ability to lead. T don't truat Hillary, and Obama just has no experience of leadership. No where. McCain hasworked for this country his whole life and almost gave his life for us. GO McCAIN

What amazes me as I read this article is the fact that Coulter still has credibility with a large audience. Is faith in conservatism so all important that supporters can take seriously a person who takes for her own the words of others, a plagiarist that lies about her theft when the evidence of her act is preserved in print.

McCain rants against Socialized medicine. His insurance comes from the Federal Govt. which the taxpayers fund. He pays 20% deductible, co pays and then Socialized medicine steps in and pays for the rest of his insurance. The Taxpayers of the USA pays for 80% pf his medical care. That my friends is socialized medicine. And the Senator Pals and Big Govt. types around him..Sen. Brownbeck, Sen. Coburn, Sen.Issakson, Sen. Chambliss, etc. are all on socialized medicine. The USA govt. pays for their medical care and they get only the best. They get private suites at Walter Reed and other private perks you can only dream off....all from socialized medicine. Hillary Clinton in a moment of honesty detailed the Health Paln Taxpayers provide for The Imperial Elites of Congress and it is the best in the world. And it is all socialized medicine. They love it. They just don't see why you should have affordable health care when there are wars to be fought, war toys to squander billions of on, a foreign aid program where they can take our money, dole out 100 billion to Pakistan and then shrug when no one knows what happened to it. And Illegal aliens keep the wages low and as Sen. GRaham, an endorser l of McCain's said on tape "they keep the grounds at the Golf Club so nicely"..

I see the polls where Virginia has forty something per cent who will vote for McCain. I say Prove it. they could not pay that many people in Virginia to vote for Amnesty John McCain.

To be sure, extreme conservatives are like rabid dogs. Snarling, biting, and attacking anything or anyone in their way. Just what we need in a time of national crisis...mad dogs leading the way. Are you better off now than you were 8 years ago? I rather doubt it.

The posters on this board are confusing the Conservative wing of the Republican Party with the NeoConservative group. The true Conservative wing wants our borders protected, they think the Govt. is to protect you so you can provide for your family but not the International Globalistic Military Unit McCain and the Neo Conservatives WILL form when he assumes the Presidency of the USA. The A. P. article in the McClathcy Newspaper Chain today spells out the true Imperialistic Global designs of McCain and the Old Free Traders Cultists who surround him. Ron Paul is a conservative, Jeff Sessions is a conservative..actually the litmus test is...Did they vote for NAFTA? If NO..then they are a conservative. If they voted YES for Corporate President Clinton..they are FREE TRADE CULTISTS and NEO CONS. War mongers.

Huckabee is far more a conservative Republican than McCain. John McCain, who apparently feels he is the only person who ever suffered in Viet Nam judging from the non stop videos we see 24/7, has been honored and rewarded for his serive. Many of our family and friends who died there were not. This selling of misfortune is beginning to sicken me. I wish I could give the life he has had to my loved ones who walk this earth no more, but who died in that pointless war.

I am glad that Mike Huckebee is standing up to Karl Rove and Perry..the Gov. of Texas who is building the NAFTA HIGHWAY on steroids that has Texans out by the thousands protesting it, and he was the Gov. who wanted to give all Pre Teen girls the cancer vaccine that now has doctors worried...and Jack Kemp, Mr. Killer of the Prop. 187 in CA and the Father of Illegal Immigration. Phil Grayham, now why did he retire...do you remember? Google him. And Google Armey. And Dole who is a lobbyist for the UAE.
I am beginning to see a moral fiber in Huckelbee that can only survive in someone who does NOT live or work in Washington, D.C.
Go Huck GO.

McCain may be the catalyst of change to redirect the Republican Party back to true conservative principles that were the mainstay of the Goldwater era before the party was co-opted by the religious zealots. Ideally, this could isolate the Limbaugh/Coulter/Ingraham obsessive hotheads and attract like-minded Centrist-Democrats. There is a contingent of middle of the road Democrats who like some of the Republican ideas and vice versa. McCain's surrender to the illegal immigration issue has the smell and shine of a rotten mackeral in the moonlight (borrowed phrase) but you can't have everything. He's likely trying to win Latin American votes. He would be strong on defense. Historically - after a Republican self destructs in office (Nixon) - the electorate goes after a Democratic feel-good candidate who turns out to be even worse (Carter), and we have to wait out the next crisis while the military rebuilds and gets re-fitted. John McCain is old enough and wise enough to protect the country. He's got the battle-scars and the savvy to deal with the third world countries who threaten the US and her allies. That's the most important thing. We don't need another Pearl Harbor or 911. Nixon said 75% of the world's countries are run by gangsters. If you have traveled to the middle east, Latin America, Africa, or Asia and spent significant time there either in a business capacity or for pleasure - you know this to be true. It is going to require a President not only with credentials and knowledge but someone who has "seen the elephant". Obama is undoubtably a decent man, but he would be co-opted by third world country issues and his consensus building is what we need to fix Congress, but he would be weak in foreign policy. The gangsters would take advantage of him. He would never know what hit him. Clinton has an honorable social agenda but weak foreign policy objectives. I think John McCain is exactly what the country needs now. He's in the middle and has managed the irritate both sides. When Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh "valiantly" profess that they will not vote - this may be the sign these people will mercifully leave the Republican Party and form a third party of their own liking. I'll buy a ticket to see that.

Conservatives are paying a bitter price for backing a presidential war. They accepted the premise that the Constitution is a "living, breathing" document after Congress refused to formally declare war and assign temporary emergency war powers to the Executive Branch. Congress cannot rescind war powers under the War Powers Act never granted, and return governance to normalcy. The diminution of civil liberties has become permanent with each mutation (Patriot Act, et al). This, and the embracement of the Welfare State and demobilization of that segment of the workforce we traditional relied upon to move to and take the crucial (and difficult) jobs that built this country invites a replacement workforce - illegal aliens, adds to the fire. Wild, out-of-control deficit spending, no mention of a balanced budget or threat to veto any budget sent up by Congress that spends no more than we collect in taxes, and the loss of Limited (federal) Governance as a concept has clearly redefined how we look at a conservative movement that sold its soul to the neoconservatives. So who???s Paleo now, radio boys?

And now I remember...ABC News Brian Williams in a national newscast last week did a story on the divide in the Republican Party and he used the same expert witnesses. He cast them as 'conservative Republicans". He interviewed Charles Black, Michael Melved and Richard Land. That was LAST week. I know Melved and Land are Open Borders, Land was involved in the Sanctuary Church thing I think and that is certainly not conservative. Charles Black is the Charles Black who is a famous Washington D.C. Lobbyists..he is an attorney who works for one of the top 20 lobbying firms. The Number One Lobbyist is the son of deceased Louisiana Senator..(Roll Call News on Line has Lobbyists news).
So NBC and then NEWSWEEK publish the same basic story with the 'same experts'?

If they really wanted to interview True Conservatives.......why would they seek out Open Borders, Amnesty types to pose as such?
We never get finished with being disillustioned with those we once respected.

And I do wish the pundits would consider something astonishing.....A majority of Democrats despise Amnesty as much as Republicans do. So they will rush out and vote for McCain? And the Media does know that Lou Dobbs has been suggesting for over a year now that fed up Republicans and Democrats can become Independents to protest Pro Amnesty forces, Free Trade Cultists, Pro Huge Debt fans, The War Lords.
And we did. Do the pundits also consider that an independent in Texas is far different from an Illegal Aliens Free New Hampshire State Inddependent.
Illegal Immigration and nothing else drives the Grassroots Movement. All ofther problems come from it.

And the other 'experts' in this article? Richard Land, who did work for the SBC is an Open Borders Fanatic. He has always pushed for Amnesty, arguing it will fill empty pews with new Hispanic converts. He is intensely disliked in the Baptist World, as most Baptists follow law and order, and consider it a Biblican Mandate, (Romans 1-13). Michael Melved has always been very Open Borders, very Karl Rove Free Trader. They are all obscure people who are having their fifteen minutes of fame because...they will trash Sean and Rush and Laura.

For Two years we have battled an unpopular amnesty lobby which is well funded, well organized and very poserful. The forces who fund that group (Soros gave 17 million to the 'grassroots' MayDay Anarchy--his tax statement revealed it). Those Amnesty Forces are determined that Amnesty will become law..without ever being voted on because it is hated by about 80% of the USA population.

In those two years of Battles, Sean, Rush, Laura and company became leaders because there was a vacaum of truth on the subject,. They just told the truth..and the truth stripped the amnesty lobby of their sob stories and distortions and outright lies.
The enormous trust those Radio Jocks have with the American People was not given...they earned it through battle after battle . They are heroes. They are Wolverines. If we win, and the USA remains the USA, and we get to write the history of these troubled times, they will be heroes. And if we lose, then no one will remember the USA anyway.

John McCain is worth Forty Million Dollars. His wife is a heiress to a beer distributorship and is much richer. Dollar for Dollar, McCain most likely has as much money as Romney. John McCain has been well rewarded by the USA, yet he poor mouths it and the Press lets him get away with it.

He is a Globalist. Read the McClatchy Newspaper Story on his International Ambitions running today. International Armies and such was NEVER a part of conservative Republicanism. When our Marines were killed in Lebanon, Ronald Reagan realizing,,,,in his own words..that they were "crazed" pulled our troops out and brought them home. Then by diplomacy and his intelligence...not with the blood of our kids..he beat them. McCain's idea of a foreign policy is to keep troops stationed in Iraq for a hundred years, war with Iran and who else in on his list?
Ronald Reagan was a statesman who won wars with his mind and the industrial might of the USA. (Afghanistan). He was never a warmonger and many in the Republican Party have become. And they seek to hang that mantle on him. NO. They won't do it.
They are the NeoCons. Not Ronald Reagan. And he called their Free Trade Cult..VooDoo Economics.

In response to issues raised here...Ronald Reagan was told by Kennedy and other Amnesty Forces that 300,000 illegal aliens would benefit from amnesty. Ed Meese, who adminsitered that '86 Program said on CSPAN that three years later., after three million had been legalized, they ended it in disgust. He said Reagan told him he bitterly regretted it. Meese came out of retirement to fight McCain's amnesty bills.

And when Reagan was President and the Red Chinese started dumping steel in the USA...rather than let them destroy our nation and economy as McCain and the old Free Trading Fools around him have done...Ronald Reagan slapped Tarriffs on Red China..sent them packing with their dumped steel...and we beat the Communists. Reagan was a FAIR trader...not one of these Cultist like Free Traders like Phil Grahma ...Jack Kemp...Alan Greenspan..Milton Freeman...John McCain. Their Free Trade is Like a Cult..they cling to it even when it fails.
