It will take a while for the above link to render for 56k but it will Morph/slowly while downloading.

Talk like that only encourages weak republicans and the beltway elites to think: we got this one in the bag, no need to worry, they’ll all come out, t vote out of fear of the Hilldabeast.

It cuts both ways, RIC. The flip side is that the more libs hear that conservatives will stay home, the more they’ll push McCain on Mr. and Mrs. Joe Uninformed, you simply have neither the time nor good fortune for a larger education in these matters.

The best thing to do is to drive home the point that they have a fight on their hands. Libs always choke when they know that the intensely driven, well-organized right is outflanking the statistically larger but much softer left. And when they choke they make mistakes. They lie to over-compensate and then get tripped up in front of the nation, which makes general left support even softer.

Right now the media is portraying the right wing as disorganized and falling apart, though when we’re unified we’re classified as being lock-step robots who don’t think for themselves. Trying to be clever and “send messages” on the scale you’re talking about is a too-cute-by-half mistake. No one can predict what these kind of messages will do.

Here, in my opinion as someone in the media in capacities in which influencing people has, alas, been part of my bread and butter for over 25 years:

1. Put Up A United Front. At the end of the day, this will be necessary anyway, and yes, that means saying you’ll vote for the Republican candidate and guess what – doing it. I assume that much of this stay home talk is being fostered by Rush. Well, I hate to say it but it may be that Rush needs a bit more recovery and Ann Coulter needs to remember that there is only one God (Rush has also framed this idea on the assumption of a republican congress, which isn’t in the cards right now): they’re both over-strategizing, and one thing is for sure: whatever Rush and Coulter are doing as influences is backfiring because Hillary is the dem frontrunner and McCain is ours. That is just precisely what we don’t want.

B. Get the word out about McCain now. There is only one way to send a message, and this needs to be done by absolutely everyone pronto: e-mail, message like you do here and call in. All take time. All being done together is a pain in the ass. All being done together is absolutely necessary. SCREAM McCain talking points until the media starts reporting, “Extremist Republicans Hate McCain” – that’s the best we can get, but it may influence enough voters to deny McCain the nod, but it needs to be done now, not tomorrow. Today! Will you do that, RIC? Will everyone? And then still vote for McCain in big numbers if we must. If you love your country RIC, this is what must be done. It matters more than your conscience, because your conscience may be based on disastrously wrong conclusions.

On the issue of personal integrity about not voting for McCain, remember what Hillary will do: she will appoint judges like Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Taxes will go up with Reid and Pelosi hot and anxious help. Weakness will be seen by our enemies who will redouble their efforts, and Hillary may be remembered my the MSM in 20 years as presiding over the worst disaster in US history when a dirty bomb kills 500,000 people outright in NYC – a disaster she herself will have precipitated by being a dove in the white house in a time of terror. Children in 1st grade will be encouraged to experiment sexually and our economy will be ruined so badly that when those kids grow up, they may still never see what it was like today, and today isn’t so great.

So before you stand on “conscience”, ask your conscience if it’s ready to absorb the guilt of all that, when by being a bit more courageous in the face of adversity, you did something equally disdainful, but for more reasonable.

Her points are well worth considering,

I think Ann was voicing her frustration, do I think Ann will campaign for Hillary? He!! no she won’t, do I think Ann will vote for Hillary? no, but I also think if McCain is the GOP candidate that she will not vote for him either, I think Ann may be right when she said Hillary is more conservitive than McCain.

Maybe Ann, MM and other conservitive’s that own the blogosphere and air waves could be convinced (If McCain look’s as if he will be nominated after Feb 5) to start a write in campaign for a suitable conservitive candidate. I’ve been thinking alot about this latley but everyone that is displeased at the prospect of McCain becoming POTUS or holding your nose and voting for the lesser of two evil’s need’s to be on the same page and vote for the same write in nationwide, here is the website address, http://www.conservitivewritein.org like I said everyone need’s to be on the same page though, some may think this is an impossible task but I think that as American’s we should think about all of the thing’s men have said where impossible and that have been proven to be possible. The fact is if this is to happen the time is now, after Feb 5 we have 1 month to organize and choose a suitable candidate and 8 month’s to campaign for the write in candidate that is longer than the two parties themselve’s have to organize behind their respective choice at their convention’s. This would be a true grass root’s campaign and if successful would be a wake up call to not only the Republican leadership that have hijacked the party but the Democrat’s whom think that the people of this country can’t think for themselves. Unite and take our country and political system back from the bloated over feed arogant career politician’s that think that we have no choice but to vote for them and their party.
One question how many of you started to or did click the link above? That was an object lesson A focus of attention, feeling, thought, or action. If you did then you should be able to support this idea. If not oh well.

#201 I did think you were being sarcastic and no problem, I’ll take you on your word that you weren’t and apologize for the tenor oif the end of my last response. When you think about it, this is still a very young medium in which we’re debating, and like all things young in communication, inflection is often the unseen landmine, which is why I always try to use the “emphasis” button for clarity.

Yes, I suppose we do disagree on McCain, but one of the things I admired about Rudy, despite his mind-bending endorsement of Sheriff OpenBorders, is that even though he was liberal on a few issues (only a few), I absolutely, positively always felt that I knew where he honestly stood. That much was crystal clear eventually in NYC, and he is still the same guy today.

As far as McCain (who is slaying McAble), exactly the reverse is true. The very fact that he could call himself a conservative means he’s either dillusional or a liar. His credentials don’t make than an honest statement, Eric, though you and I probably disagree on the matter of degree to shich one can not act like a conservative and still be so classified.

Anyway, thanks for being smart and pulling the lever for anyone but Hillary. We’ll always be on the same side of that issue, and in the final analysis, that may very well be the most important issue of the decade.

He’s the only one that has stepped up and had the cajones to confront this Berkley issue head on.

Where is the Great John “Judge Me By My Friends” McCain, when our service members are being treated like this by Berkley, et al? Isn’t he the guy that likes to flaunt his military service so flagrantly in the campaign. Where’s the loyalty, John?

Romney/Lieberman – try to steal away the decent and honest good faith we just disagree Democrats. True Independents would give a second look too.

I apologize if anyone has already used that joke.

Below is the Coulter video in which she vows not only to vote for Hillary but even to campaign for me if McCain is the nominee. Her points are well worth considering, and given the fact that the Republicans only function well in opposition — they would roll over if McCain were to become president — I’m with her 100%. Naturally.
