We're at war with some really dangerous f'n people, and McCain is:



battle tested.

Does he mean he wants to keep us in Iraq for 100 years? **** NO! However, any soldier knows, you stay until the job is finished or you shouldn't have gone at all. The NVA were about a week away from giving up before the Damn liberals coerced us into pulling out.

The WOT is not the only issue that America is facing these days.

I've been saying that ever since the guy won the nomination.  The man has done nothing to convince me that he will indeed nominate strict constructionist justices.  He has a recent history of "reaching across the aisle" that worries me greatly.

Fine, vote for Barr, or whomever. Be sure to scan your "Thank You" letter from Obama and post it here.  :whatever:

Some of us don't view McCain as some sort of savior and are not afraid to express our concerns. 

Deal with it.

You people that say you're conservative, and want someone to believe EXACTLY as you believe,

Really?

I have certainly never posted that, nor have I seen anyone else do so either.

Perhaps you can do me a favor and point out any such post that I have overlooked?

Zoning laws can only prohibit the sales and/ or transfers of handguns in a locality.

For a brief synopsis, read this:

The Last Gun Shop

I think I've read that before.  Good catch.

Deal with it? How about showing me where in the ****! I said he was some kind of Damn savior? I'd rather have Thomson or, more specifically, Hunter. Tancredo wouldn't be bad either. ....but I don't HAVE that ****ing choice, do I?

Your move.

I would say "your move", but this isn't some sort of game.

It is merely a message board where on occassion folks don't always see eye to eye.

People on this board will vote the way they want to vote. Mia, I think, is voting for Obama. You think I'm trying to "guilt" people? Well, only if you feel guilty. What, I can't express my views? You seem comfortable enough to do it. Guess I'm not allowed.  :whatever:

I said it because you told me to "deal with it". You can kiss my ass with that remark. I didn't try to do a DAMN thing to force you to vote for ANYONE. You vote for whatever candidate you want.....who has NO Damn chance of winning. Like I said, scan Obama's "Thank You" letter. I'm sure we'll all get a good laugh at it when our economy is REALLY in the tank and 5.5% unemployment seems like the good ole days.

I could lower myself to trading insults with you.  But I prefer to act like an adult.

Bro, Senator McCain is a bitter old man that has made it very clear he doesn't give one shit about conservatives like us.  His campaigns focus is independents and democrats; the same today as it was in 2000.  He doesn't care about the GOP base, he wants to drag the party to the left and destroy it as it was because he hates us for denying him the oval office in 2000.

What you are saying is exactly what he is counting on - the conservative "base" will come crawling back and vote for him no matter how he's abused and neglected us over the past several years.

There are no guarantees he will nominate decent people to SCOTUS, that he will make the tax cuts permanent, that he will not destroy our economy with all of his green ideas and the witchhunting of the oil companies, etc....

For that matter, from the way he has talked about GITMO and "torture", I'm not so sure he will actually prosecute an effective war on terror.

There are no guarantees with this guy and for me, hoping he'll see the light is not enough for me to pull the lever.

The one real reason to vote for McCain - the reason which destroys all arguments against him - is that he being elected will cause liberal pinhead idiots everywhere to melt into a blob of sobbing hysterical wild-eyed anti-matter. 

That will be my reward.

Better to elect a complete through-and-through socialist who will raise taxes, subsidize sloth, weaken us internationally, embolden our enemies and cut and run in Iraq.  That is MUCH better than someone who is not a REAL Conservative.

And if you can show me the real difference between them on "the environment", torture, big oil, big government, etc., then I may change my mind.

Also, try and see what the **** I'm saying before you try and throw some weak assed liberaltarian bullshit at me, k?  Unlike you, I won't go back on my hands and knees to someone who doesn't want me.  You can spend your time at the masters feet waiting for a crumb, I'd prefer to concentrate on local and congressional races so we can hopefully have something to blunt whatever liberal assclown is put into the White House this election cycle.

If conservatives want to vote for McCain because he's not Obama, I certainly understand that.  If conservatives choose not to vote for McCain because they can't stand him, I can understand that.  But to claim that not voting for McCain is the same as voting for Obama is just simply not true and there's no reason to even float that out as being the case.  If someone does it, ignore it, it's not worth the effort to be concerned with.  Conservatives can make up their own mind individually as to what is best for them and I, for one, will not begrudge them either way.

May not be true, but the outcome will still be the same. I voted for "Ears" twice. I've not only seen this song and dance before, I contributed to it. Not doing that again with someone that WAY left of Bill Clinton.
