McCain was just shown in MA saying that if he is elected “he will get OBL and bring him to justice”
But he would not use a waterboard. He has no problem with killing, just with waterboarding. Plus no doubt he would turn on any soldier who captured him. He would be one scary Comander in Chief to the military.

The scariest – for sure!

And we all know WHO WOULD BE ON TRIAL and who would be the STAR WITNESS WITH AMNESTY and a HIDDEN WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM on some millionaire hide-away.

For sure.

I won’t do that to any of the military or to any of the Border Patrol, or to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, either.

I think you meant “moot”, and I usually don’t pick over these things, however, the difference here is important, and is not silent.

McCain will have a litmus test – and we need to consider it carefully.

Do you really think he will pick judges who would overturn:

McCain Feingold

McCain Edwards

McCain Anti-Torture Bill

McCain Kennedy

McCain Lieberman

McCain’s definition of torture, or whether waterboarding is torture

etc etc etc etc????????????????

Oh, this man has a litmus test.

Never you doubt it.

Because NEVER will you HEAR it.

Shout This One To The Heavens Till It Hurts!!

McCain is ALREADY working on one GUARANTEED to increase YOUR GASOLINE BILL by $1,000 PER YEAR just in TAXES.

So be VERY careful who you are working to defeat FOR THAT SAME CAUSE!

When Tammy said the Dims want McCain to win the nomination because HILLARY could mop the floor so easily WITH HIM – and BOB said OH THAT WAS NOT SO AT ALL, and He is NOT the Dim most hated GOP and Hillary can not… (shuts up- and that is covered by more of Tammy’s immitation of ME)

And O’R saying oh no, you are not fair, Tammy, Fox isn’t on McCain’s side

John Gibson and O’r and others who are the “CONSERVATIVES” on Fox all acting like Tammy and ANN are NUTSO for not wanting McCain to get in????

With all the info THEY have been sitting on for the last TWO YEARS!!!!

Like that McCAIN AD on Fox NEws last Friday “When McCain was a POW in the Hanoi Hilton, he was inspired by the REAGAN REVOLUTION” – first sentence ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL and NOT ONE PEEP FROM THE FOX NEWS DEPT!

Scriptwriter – “Cambodia at Christmas” no less.

I SO KID YOU NOT! I saw it first at 8:30 or 8:40 CENTRAL PM Friday nite, IN THE MIDDLE OF HANNITY AND COLMES and Sean did NOT COMMENT, even though one of his RADIO CALLERS had given him a heads up on the radio that same afternoon!

He told her he thought she was mistaken but he would look into it.

Yeah, Maybe next AUGUST. or 2025.

If so, please correct me if I am wrong, but would not Jeremiah Denton also be spinning in his grave at the idea of – Sheesh – cannot even SAY the filthy thought.
It will not cross MY keyboard or my tongue!

And yeah, if he were still alive today, would it not be BONE-CHILLING HORROR to him for everyone to be saying this #%#%#%# is a GIVEN! ?????

Forgive me if I am wrong, I think it has been 20 years AT LEAST since I read his bio…..

Let’s get out there and make the need to “hold your nose and vote for McCain” a moot point by helping MITT WIN!!!!!!!

This is the sum total of what it all amounts to. That’s the target. This is what we need to be saying, all of us, day and night. .

C R Us … very true … and she finally admitted yesterday that she will garnish your wages for the premiums if you refuse to buy her universal health care …

This should be in the top three Repub campaign banners splashed over T.V., regardless who our nominee is. I was a Fred man, but I’ll be doing the hold the nose and pull the lever thing with whoever because I do NOT want to regret in a year or so after simmering down of being the least responsible for the gov’t taking an axe to my wages to pay for mega-entitlements. I wish to H*** more angry pissed-off stay-at-home conservatives cherished their checks and community culture and gun rights as deeply as I do. I’ve yet seen one’s “principles” make up for what the gov’t gouges out of my check.

Every president says he has no litmus test – it’s a standard response

How can we be convinced that McCain would be tougher against the Muslim crazies than would the socialists?

We know that he would let these crazies walk right across the borders and become citizens.

Will the McCain supporters accuse Sen. Cochran of “MDS?” “Dyspepsia?” Immaturity?

I love the irony of McCain’s supporters becoming just like McCain himself. Arrogant … intolerant of dissent … vindictive … condescending …turning against their own conservative bretheren.

Rather than actually make a case for McCain, they immediately go on the attack, even against people like Mark Levin that have spelled out their differences with McCain, point by point by point. And rather than responding to those points, a significant number of McCain defenders simply engage in all of the above with one ad hominem attack after another.

Way to bring us over to your side, guys!!

A) Be not quite as bad as a socialist?

B) Be just as bad as/no different from a socialist?

C) Be worse than a socialist?

What should we believe?

This is THE question we have to wrestle with.

IF McCain is the Republican nominee, do we:

A) Vote for him?

B) Vote for a socialist?

C) Write in someone – say, Romney?

How can we be convinced that McCain would be tougher against the Muslim crazies than would the socialists?

How can we be convinced that McCain would be better at securing the border than would the socialists?

How can we be convinced that he would not raise taxes and spend wastefully, as badly as the socialists would?

How can we be convinced that he would be a safer bet, as far as judicial nominations are concerened, than the socialists would?

How can we be convinced that he would not push for the resurrection of the “Fairness” Doctrine just as strongly as would the socialists?

How can we be convinced that a President McCain would not change party affiliation to socialist?

I can’t think of any other issues right now…but THE question, on any issue, seems to be, how can we be convinced that McCain would be a better bet than a socialist?

And, that’s what it appears come down to – a bet.

Put another way, how and why can and should we trust McCain?
