So Much for a Warm Welcome

Joe, I find it rather humourous that you carp about the "those radical conservatives" and how they've been running things for the last 7+ yrs. Has the conservative base, of which I'm proudly one, really been running things, there wouldn't have been the Harriet Myers debacle, nor McCain's sellout of excellent judicial nominees with his "Gang of 14" nonsense. There wouldn't have been McCain-Feingold, it would have been vetoed out of hand rather than signed into law with the lame hope that the courts would over turn it, Good luck with that happening with the court dominated by the likes of RBG and David David Breyer. Had the conservatives been truly in control, there wouldn't have been an effort to sneak McCain-Kennedy through, in some backroom deal, literally in the dead of night. Had the conservatives been firmly in control, there wouldn't be the possibility of McCain-Leiberman and all the cap and trade destruction of our economy to pander to global warming religion zealots.

It's your "Centurist Republicans," more commonly known as "RINO's," to the rest of us that are responsible for all that, and so much more, Trying to overturn the ban on partial birth abortion, suing Wisconsin Right to Life, to force them to shutup, to McCain stating that he wouldn't have nominated Samuel Alito because he "wears his conservatism on his sleeve." As if Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Renquist didn't wear their conservatism on their sleeves. McCain's recorded statement of Roberst and Alito being the benchmark for justices in the future means what exactly; that they're too conservative and so he'll nominate more moderate judges so he can pander to his buddies "Chappaquidick" Ted Kennedy, Dick "Turbin" Durbin, Patrick "Leaky" Leahy, Dianne "War Profiteer" Feinstein, "Up"Chuck "Schemer" and Hitlery Rottenhams Klintoon? Given his Senate track record, I'd bet a month's salary that is what he really means with his benchmark statement.

Regards,

Mike

I'll vote for McCain before I'd vote for either of the democrats - at least then I'd know that this country will be protected and that our president won't be afraid to fight like the last democrat that was in office-Thanks President Clinton - for letting 9/11 happen. If you'd done your job - you could have stopped that disaster from happening after the USS Cole was hit.

The story has never been the far right's hatred of McCain, the story was always the liberal and moderate republicans hatred of the far right. These bible thumping idiots have ruined our party and they still think of themselves as the core of the party. Hey idiots, there is a reason McCain has this thing won, go look in the mirror and figure it out! Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity and all the rest of these losers are simply mad because they're losing power and would rather be in power on a losing team than be subserviant on a winning team. Let's see . . . someone else famous in history said this same sort of thing. Come on bible thumpers, you guys ought to know this one. It went something like this . . . "Better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven." Now who was it that said that?? Could it be mmmmmmmmm . . . SATAN! You Nazis just need to go away. Are you listening Rush, Hannity, Coulter???

Oh what tripe from Newsweek. They haven't a clue the difference between conservative and GOP. The article rails against those that support only party over ideals (not mentioning this is a democrat thing) and at the same time rails against conservatives for following their principles. Hmm, which is it, party first or principles first. The contridictions in the article are too numerous to count, but representative of a "journalist "in today's age of political commentary. My favorite is when talking about the McCain-Feingold anti free speech bill, the article says it is because it "deprived conservative lobbying groups of influence." No, it is because it deprived every singular citizen of influence, but hey, that is just a minor point. Now we can pretend the author is just stupid or we can know better and realize disingenuous writing when we see it. .It is too bad a news organization is not more pro-free speech, but like a good socialist, they only like things that apply to them or work for them, but not to have it go both ways.

it looks seriously like obama is going to win. looks like having oprah on your side not only sells your book but sells your candidacy for president.

Rush Limbaugh, I think you all are just jealous of McCain. Obviously, you all do not know what is a stake. There are a few issues that I do not agree with him on, but McCain has held a position in the Senate for 20 years and has 28 years of military experience. He will have my vote this November. America needs a leader who has military experience considering the over all safety of America.... If Obama wins the election, there is a bigger possibility that the terrorists would come back to the U.S.A. At least McCain voted for the troops. Obama did not even support it. So don't get you alls panties in a bunch. He is the one that can reach both parties. No, this will not hurt the Republican party; the only thing hurting it is the Republicans not supporting it.

Amen to Ayndee's comment. I am a conservative Christian who happens to love John McCain. I cannot fathom the ire because he's reached across the aisle to Democrats to vote his conscience. Coulter says he hates gun laws but all he wants is a gun show restriction..come on people! The relig right/Coulter-Rush types are turning into the Christian version of the Islam/Arabs who fight their own kind if they disagree.

If John McCain gets the nomination the GOP will have no hope. He is nothing more than Bush:2.0 and honestly they can't afford to have another disaster like Bush in the White House. If McCain gets the nomination-I will vote democrat. Honestly, Sen. McCain, 100 MORE years in Iraq?? How many more people are you going to let die for an empire? For something that has nothing to do with our national security? And putting the country in trillions of dollars of debt to China? Were you with Clinton when "he did not inhale"?

Bleep those radical Conservatives, I'd give a month's pay to see Ann Coulter campaigning for Hilary, another loser! Rush is so far over-the-hil that you need a telescope to find the man & his tarnished reputation.

We've just had 7yrs+ of the far right Conservative diet in the White House & these bozo's are still mouthing off as if having a 30% approval rating is something t/b proud of. Only Congress ,as a whole ,has a worse rating, but it's well deserved.

Centurist Republicans should bury the Radical Right whenever the opportunity presents itself, LIKE NOW!!!

Frankly, I'm sick and tired of these facist far right blowhards. Their vocal minority hijacked the Republican party and drove me and many other moderates out, It's about time we had a candidate whos got a concience and is willing to work with the other side to get things done. All this partisian bovine scatology is part of why this country is in the mess it is. They had their chance for the last 8 years, and things are NOT better than before they had power. Let them howl, and if they want to cry like little children (WAAAAH I can't have my way, so I'm taking my toys and going home!) and not turn out and vote for McCain like we voted for their lousy candidate the last election, well, goodbye to bad rubbish.

In many an election, I vote, not because there is someone or something I want to vote for, as much as there is something or someone I want to vote AGAINST. I think either of the most prominent Democratic candidates becoming President of the United States would be the worst possible thing to happen, even though I would wish that Republican conservatives would not take that as a "go-ahead" symbol to get ridiculous, that is still better than losing our national security to an apologist from the Democratic party that seems to hate everything our parents fought to create.

Every decent human knows John MCCain is an honerable man so no matter what you believe or who you vote for to slander a man who votes his beliefs just shows your petty thoughts are more important to you Mr. mjcrew9 than is reality. I may not agree with McCain but he is the most honerable man politics has had in my 54 years. God bless decency!

Instead of listening to all these people who don't give a damn about the Republican party like Coulter and Limbaugh, they should be trying to unite the party behind McCain. Would they rather have Hillary,Obamanation, and the democrats run this country? Come on so-called conservatives back the man that get America working again. Can you imagine the democrats trying to protect America from terrorism;. No
true republican should turn their back on the party regardless of who the nominee is.

Dear John McCain, it may be over and you may get the GOP nomination, I am A Republican at heart, But, I would never on this planet vote for you, you had your chance to stop the illegal imigration at your boarder but did nothing, you are a puppet of the powers that be and a liar.
I know a bunch of voters who were going to vote for Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee who will vote Obama because you have had you chance to protect out boarder but failed to do so and will not perpetuate this ongoing war on terror you say that there is, that just allows you to keep blowing billions of our hard earned dollars on whom ever you see as a so called threat to your one world Government agenda, so you may win the nomination but there is no chance you will win the presidency.
Too bad so sad, for you that is.
WAKE UP AMERICA

God bless you mccain and your service to this country, but we the American people are not going to stand for another bush in the whitehouse.

RUSH LIMBALLS IS A CRAKHEAD WITH A RADIO SHOW. HE IS NOT THE RIGHT.
THE RIGHT IS THE pARTY OF BUSH. CApITALISTS WHO ARE ALIGHNED WITH THE saudi'S AND OTHER FAMILIES AROUND THE WORLD.. THEY OWN THE WORLD CApITAL AND INVEST HEAILY IN INSURANCE AND DRUG COMpANIES. THIS IS A FACT.

BUSH SUppORTS McCain and so does his brothe JEB
IT IS OVER FOR RUSH LIMBALLS ANND COULTIER AND THE OTHER SUICIDE VOTERS FROM THE RIGHT WING. THESE RADIO HOSTS ARE DEALING WITH AN INTELLIGENT ELECTORATE THIS TIME AROUND. THEY ARE OF NO USE TO THE RIGHT WING ESTABLISMENTS AND HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AS DRUG ADDICTS IN REHAB.
CONSERVATIVE RADIO HAS REACHED IT"S peak. NO ONE WANTS TO SACRIFICE ANYMORE AMERICAN LIVES IN IRAQ. THEY NEED TO SEND RUSH AND ANN TO IRAQ. BECAUSE THEY ARE A BIG REASON OBAMA IS DOING SO WELL.
EVERY STATISTIC AND poll INDICATE THAT OBAMA MIGHT TAKE twenty five per cent of the REpublican vote.
AND McCAIN WILL gain fifteen per cent of the HILLARY VOTE.
OBAMA IS ON HIS WAY TO VICTORY.

I deeply resent this Limbo Taliban slowly poisoning the masses like Joseph Goebbels did in the thirties of Germany. They must be thoroughly disowned, their radio shows shunned and boycotted. They are NOT conservatives at all. they are fascists, that our fathers and tom grandfathers generation laid down their lives and souls at Omaha, spilling their life's blood so that we could have a society free from Naziism ever taking over here. McCain is like Winston Churchill, and instead of Hitler being way over there in Germany, he is now here in America. He is here in Romney and his pandering to these very fascists, after ripping off the people through leveraged buyouts by Bain Capital, tax free in the Cayman Islands. Hitler is right here in Ann Coulter, even the hair fits the Nazi look! Hitler is right here in the Neocons that conspired with Cheney that got us into this disastrous war that has bankrupted the country. Hitler is here in Hagee and all the intolerant bigots that call themselves Christians but are not, and who have linked up with the biggest legislative crooks in modern history - abramoff and tom delay andd ralph reed. And because we have a careeristr media, these crooks and liars and hypocrites are flattered instead of scorned, and America has become corrupted and odious to civilized people everywhere. We never say that we are fallen and sinful - that's the problem - everyone blames someone else, and its usually the ones who challenge the avarice of filthy lucre. Money.....that's right, follow the money as whole multitudes lose their everlasting souls through a bottomless covetousness.....if i were john mccain, i'd walk out of that damn party just as susan eisenhower did and gen powell is thinking about it....a new party should be formed that is centrist, and reasonable and civilized, welcoming the mccains, the hagels, the murtha's, the bloombergs, the nunns....and to hell with this wicked bunch of nazis on the far right - "the time has come the walrus said, to impeach dick cheney and george w. bush....and to rebuke the accomodating democrats...i invite all reasonable people with decency and honor tocy and honor to ask McCain to be himself and to NOT toady or give in to these Limbo Taliban - to cleanse and purge the party of these Neocon Zionists - to rebuke them for hijacking America for their own Likudnik ends.....those who have tortured must be prosecuted...and those who have set it up must come to be impeached....like susan eisenhower. this independent wants to be rid of the Republican RIght Taliban....Obama for President!
