You'd think the Rs would all be flocking to McCain.

[HuskerDU]

They had 2 choices back in 2000, W or McCain. The RW windbags are dissing the hell outta McCain. Does that mean that W was the right choice in the 2000 R primary? HAHAHAHA!!

To me the RW windbags are saying that if you vote Republican, you're gonna get a disaster no matter what! You really have to use some twisted logic to believe that the Republican party is good for America, even if you listen to their shills!!

1. I hear they consider McCain over done, past his prime, no longer relevant.

I hear, personally from m my undisclosed RW sources, that there are no good choices being offered this time. That they might have to just not vote, or vote holding their noses against the Dem candidate. I maintained a straight face at the time, but it took some work.

[HuskerDU]

2. There are no good choices for them THIS time!!

What about 2000? W has proven to be horrible and they say McCain is bad. Should be an alarm to any non-robot Rs to rethink their party.

'The guy we voted for royally screwed up and Limbaugh tells us that the other guy is worse.' America was in a lose lose with either Republican candidate! Hmmmm... time to vote Dem if you love America!

3. As I said, I had a difficult time keeping a straight face.

Another acquaintance told both spouses always voted repub until this time. They have been thinking, watching, listening, and realizing that repub is party NOT of business but of Big Business. After watching a 9/11 mihop/lihop thing on tv, they decided that they allowed the repubs a few lies, but "they have lied about so much, we just can't trust them on anything." so are staunch Obama supporters now and will vote for whomever Dem candidate is.

4. I was at the Post Office today

and ran into a gentleman I know slightly. I'm aware that he is a very strong "pro-life" conservative and heavily involved in our county's GOP, so just to make conversation, I asked him what he thinks about this year's crop of candidates. He said that if McCain is the R on the ballot in November, he will vote in the other races, but leave the Presidential preference blank. He said that he feels he will be accountable for his vote, and he that he cannot ever support any candidate that isn't clearly pro-life (including on stem cell research.) His feeling is that if the R's start voting for a less conservative candidate, just to avoid getting a Dem, then the party will shift too far to the left to suit him.

If Hillary or Obama wins the presidency this year, it may be because enough people like this guy I know are sitting it out.

9. My experience has been the same as your's and uppityperson's.

I don't know many R's, but the ones I do know are sitting out, voting D or for Ron Paul.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. They certainly are.

With bats, bricks, tar, feathers, pitchforks, you name it.

This is toooooooooooo funny.

[HuskerDU]

10. Yup, shouldn't it make 'em think twice about voting R for

President? 75% of Americans can't stand W, and the other 25% hates McCain. Sheesh, if we can't win this year...

6. Check out this article

The Dems don't even have to go after him, the conversatives are doing it themselves! I found this article full of dirt on McCain on NewsMax:

(snip)
"While the Chris Mathews-Tim Russert-Imus crowd has slobbered all over McCain — mainly out of guilt over their own Vietnam War behavior — many others have known the real truth: the Arizona senator is a two-faced, sarcastic, mean-spirited, condescending hypocrite who has gotten away with numerous instances of terrible behavior because the MSM won’t take an objective look at him.

Now, however, the U.S. Veteran Dispatch, a highly respected and widely read veterans newspaper from Kinston, N.C., has published a riveting new article, "Betrayal, Deceit, Corruption, and John McCain," written by former U.S. Army Green Beret and two-tour Vietnam veteran Ted Sampley.

Among the revelations in this fascinating article: When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. Carol McCain, once a model, had been badly injured in a car wreck in 1969. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she gained a good deal of weight."

But, just a couple years later, McCain, while pondering a future in politics, met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 just a month after dumping his crippled wife and securing a divorce."

12. Sheesh, we shouldn't even pay for a Mark Penn or an Axelrod

with all this dirt!

Are these RW hate-mongerers saying that Gore was the right choice in hindsight? Or do they still think W is doing a 'heckuva job'?

7. This is GD, not GD:P. If you wanna talk primaries, you gotta dip a toe in the cesspool

Sorry. It's not a nice reality, but sadly electoral political threads belong deep in the thorny bramble of GD: Politics.

Be strong, dear Husker.

[HuskerDU]

8. I was thinking it was more about the 2000 R primary, but yeah

perhaps it would fit better in GD-P.

I was trying to show how by Republican's own standards, voting R in 2000 was a mistake. They can't defend W, and they tear McCain apart.

11. Iffin you REALLY wanna know, you gotta wade into freeperville....

they think McCain is a LEFTY!!!!
