For McCain, the 'Right' Friends

You may be onto something. Bush and his cronies have bled away oceans of red ink in Iraq; its hard to believe that there will be anything left for infrastructure, energy bills, health care or any of the accoutrements of a civilized society in the post-Bush years. Still, it rankles ... this "conservative" President has launched a war that is costing 18 million dollars every hour we're there, and anyone has the nerve to say that the Dems are spendthrifts? (Once again proving that all comedy is tragedy.)

The chorus of dissent from, so called, right wing thought leadefs is all about commerce and not much about political pragmatism.

Messrs. Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage are all about building ratings and Ms. Coulter is all about selling books and getting big speaing fees. As such all are more interested in builing their audiences and personal incomes than in exercising any real judgement and resposible influence in the electoral proces.

By stirring disagrement, controversy and, in some cases, down right hatred, these individuals are appealing to our lesser angels and making a great deal of money doing it. El Rushbo knows that it is "good radio" to throw raw meat to many in his audience who see a conspiracy around every corner and a traitor in every citizen who dares to dsagree with a narrow, simplisic and one sided view of the world.

Until every citizen recognizes these pundits for what they really are....media stars who must build ratings and keep the pot boiling to feather their own nests. we will continue to dumb down political debate and allow the conservative agenda and discussions about how to prevent a liberal takeover of the White House. Simply put, John McCain is the most coservative person running for President and any thing these "stars" do to depress turn out and invovlement by conservaties (of every stripe) is tantamount to turning over the White House to the Democrat Party for the next two decades.

Rush and his ilk like to condemn anyone who disagrees with parts of their agenda and who dares to ask questions about the competence of this Administration as being "treasonous" and "a traitor." One of the definions of "traitor" is "one who betrays his cause or a trust." In my opinion what they are doing now is not only betraying a trust, they are doing so for the most crass of reasons. Look up some of the non-sexual applications of "prostitue."

Grover Norquist is an enemy of the American electorate. His support of the neocons who have manipulated the truth and boldy lied to the nation on Foreign Policy is the enemy of the American electorate------------

Actually, Norquist and "Movement Conservatives" are NOT conservative. They are radicals who want to remake society based upon abstract theories beneficial to their ruling cadre, but which have no basis in empirical experience, and are completely unworkable.

That view assumes that society is organic, tradition matters, and that many things that appear to work --if imperfectly --should be preserved because you really can't do much better, even if the intellectuals THINK they can.

So McCain's "right" friend are right wing communists? How charming....

Change the rules so that I can tell my employer to put all the best jobs here.

I have an idea. How about if John McCain just remains John McCain. Do we really want another president who goes around with his finger in the air, looking for the prevailing wind. For example, did anybody not want to upchuck watching that foolish display of John McCain telling us that Mitt Romney ran an honorable campaign. That must be the doubletalk express. I'll stick with Mike Huckabee, win or lose.

Intelligent people do not watch Rush/Ann/Laura/Sean or ANY LIBERAL...there is always a motive to their madness - unfortunately, they omit the RIGHTEOUNESS OF TELLING THE TRUTH, and spew their venom for ratings! Their opinions are like pholes, everyone has one with no specific value to ANY OF THOSE!!! Research on your own, and be VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT SUCKED IN BY THESE WANNABEE JOURNALISTS/REPORTERS!!!

The problem with the word "conservative" is, like the word "liberal" nobody knows anymore what the words really mean.

On the subject of no new taxes, that would be a fiscal conservative, which certainly leaves out John McCain - just how does he expect to pay for on ongoing presence in Iraq, a war in Afghanistan (why are we there, again - does anyone know?) and the other huge expansions in military spending he proposes?

If he truly believes in fiscal conservatism and no new taxes, there will be no money for new roads, new schools, education, health care, social security reform, etc, just money for a huge military.

With McCain you are left (no pun intended) with two choices: holding the line on current spending which would make us a military state (similar to the old USSR, and we know what happened to them) or raising taxes to pay for it.

Or there is the other, time-honored way - deficit spending.

Why is it ok to rack up huge deficits for the war on terrorism but not the war on poverty?

McCain can have the conservatives. Or whatever we're calling them these days. I call them people in fear, people who are clinging to the illusion of a past status quo that disappeared decades ago.

It's a new millenium, folks. The old ways didn't work in the old days, and they won't work now.

I couldn't agree more that the Rush/Ann/Laura/Sean crowd has targeted McCain, hoping for a Democratic win that will only boost their ratings. Can't go wrong by plugging into the gullibility of the American public.

This guy is in the twlight zone. Jack Kemp who is Jack Kemp. This guy is in 70,s and stuck in neutral.l

I used to be a Republican. The Republican party is now a bunch of angry quacks who want to spend us into oblivion over the fear of Terrorism. Frankly a little terrorism once in awhile is better than 10 billions dollars a month to ward against it. I'm still a conservative, just not a REPUBLICAN. Spending like drunken sailors on defense is just another federal government boondoggle. I want a true anti-government, reduce government candidate.

Please, Women who can see through Hillary speak up now. There is such an apparent acceptance of all of Hillary's BS by American women that it is nauseating.

I am a conservative who will not be satisfied with John McCain no matter what he says. He has been far too soft on the Left and somehow thinks that "working with" them is virtuous. I will NEVER EVER vote FOR either of the two Communists the Democrats are offering no matter how angry I am. Huckabee/Hunter I would consider but I don't want any talk from them other than 100% Conservative right down the line.

I ponder that someone whom calls themselves a fiscal conservative usually means less on spending on social concerns but greater spending for defense, business interest priorities, etc. Criticism directed to one viewpoint of the other only distracts from the simple math...both are deficit spending by a government that acts like it knows best.

I don't support John McCain on his liberal stances on important issues.

It does not matter to me if Pres. Bush comments that he thinks McCain is a 'true conservative" becuase I know better! Bush is not even a true conservative! Bush has taken some very liberal stances on important issues; such as illegal immigration that most real republicans do not approve of or support!
