Supreme Court strikes down D.C. handgun ban, 5-4

[USA4ME]

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.

I don't know what the outcome will be if some conservatives don't vote for McCain.  I understand what you and others are saying on a certain level, but do know that it's up to him to give conservatives a reason to want to vote for him, and it all rest on his shoulders if he is to win.  Being the "Yes, I've stabbed you in the back and have contorted with the enemy but I'm not the other guy" thing isn't going to work with quite a few, and I can't blame them.  He's got a pretty small window here to shape up and start talking like a conservative should talk and conduct themself if he hopes to attract even a portion of those conservatives who don't like him at all, because the closer it gets to November, the closer it'll look like he's just pandering.  He's dug this hole for himself.  He's the only one to blame for his foolish moves over the past several years and, if he loses, he only need look in the mirror.

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.

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.

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 someone can point me in the direction where I said I was enthusiastically supporting McCain, I'll give you 100 bucks. I have stated NUMEROUS times he's not "MY" first, second, third, or even fourth choice. At this point in time, he's my ONLY choice. I can't STAND McCain, the politician. I HATE, however, Obama.

I've done the protest vote before. TWICE, in '92 and '96. I voted for "Ears". Not doing that shit again. Try being in the Damn military with Blowjob Billy in office.

Gosh, I LOVE McCain and I am enthusiastically supporting him!

Sorry.  I need the money.

Sorry.  I need the money to pay for my gay romances. 

Sorry, cannot do.

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

Why don't you try doing so also?

Rebel posts:

Like I said, scan Obama's "Thank You" letter.

Then attempts to claim he ain't trying to guilt those that don't see shit his way?

How priceless.

But I will no longer side track this thread about it.

I occurs to me that is why the folks that run this place created the fight club thread.

So grown ups are just snide rather than insultive.

Got it. 

Ooops...  I did get a bit crusty with Rebel.  I've already apologized to him privately about it.

I got a little "caught" up in the issue.

Been there done that.  Don't want to see the sequal which involves the dusting off of Carter Era defence stratigies.

Oh no, I would be the last person to claim that you liked McCain.  But when you voted for Perot twice instead of Bush41 and Dole, I'm not going to blame Clinton being elected on you or others like you.  The only one's to blame for not securing your vote is Bush41 and Dole.  That's their duty when running, to give you a reason to vote for them.

What you believe to be your "only choice" this year is in your hands and up to you, something all of us already know.  All I'm saying is that I can't blame a bunch of people for not wanting to vote for McCain despite Hussein being a twit.  McCain chose the path he's taken over the last decade or more, he made the calculated moves knowing that doing what he's done might lose him several conservative voters, and it'll either pan out for him or it won't.
