McCain never had my vote to begin with. I preferred Tancredo, Thompson or Romney over him. However, I was willing to allow him the chance to earn my vote, particularly after he claimed he “got it” on immigration. If he was to do something substantive between now and the elections (like say, propose new and better border fence legislation without the amnesty crap) he would have absolutely convinced me he was being honest.

However, with his pandering to La Raza, all he has proven to me is that he does NOT “get it” and will NEVER “get it” when it comes to Illegal Immigration. All he wants us conservatives to do is just “shut up and sit down”. I think he assumes we will vote for him just because snObama and Hillary are so bad.

McVain, I’ve got news for you: I will write in “Mickey Mouse” before I will vote for you. You lying, conniving sonofaB. I will vote Conservative and Republican come this fall on every line EXCEPT POTUS, which I will either leave blank, or (if I am able) I will write in “Mickey Mouse”. You can take your La Raza and stuff it McVain. You’ve lost my vote PERMANENTLY.

I, of course, know how to spell “machine”, and other such…

Well, twitlet, it might be because I noticed, surfing on my palm Lifedrive(tm) that w/o bracketing comments, it isn’t always clear who posted what, (a failing of the built-in Blazer browser)…

It could be because long ago as a programmer, I learned to bracket sub-units of code for easy clarity…

It could be because, for better or worst, I own my posts: both the brilliant and the stupid, and I want to be certain people know who’s responsible for both…

Or, it could be that the only persons who complain abt it are insufferable twits, too lacking in mentl mahinery to produce two (2) cogents thoughts to rub together — and so are reduced to telling people to “,.,double piss-off…” — and I enjoy tweeking trogs arrested in that stage of mental development…

Or, I might just like my name…

Ombre Rose,
As a dependent of a surgeon who has been deployed, We spouses talk to & support each other while our sponser (the military member) is deployed. The friendships of shared worry and difficulty will often endure after the sponser’s return. We still talk, via email & phone. Let me let you in on a secret…

…many of us in the armed services, (this incl. member spouses) don’t trust Dishonest John, His Highness, The McCain! Any military person, whether active duty, guard (activated or not), family member, relative, what-have-you who claims that people in the military are by-and-large “pulling” for Dishonest John are either having a pipedream or talking through their hat.

You have nothing to feel sorry abt…

As a member of the Armed Services Committee, he’s stuck his finger in the military’s eye at least as often as he has conservatives’ eye. For proof, start at Hugh Hewitt’s site… or for a laundery list of the non-conserv. votes & stances of all three Democrats, goto:

now, that the republican party has decidedly moved to the left and left me on the right i am no longer a republican. i will be voting constitutional party, period. i will no longer vote party lines, but who is a conservative. calling those of us who refuse to leave our conservatism traitors is foolish.

Ombre Rose, i like the way you think!

i believe that the democrats crossed over and messed up our ability to pick our candidate. the RNC and their foolishness allows this primary process, but i for one am not going to continue to follow blindly. nope, i am chosing to be a maverick. voting constitutional party

IF I thought for REAL that a (gag)McNasty Presidency would help your husband ONE SINGLE IOTA, I swear, I would vote for him in a hot New York MINUTE.

I can understand the desperation of military families looking at the DIMS, and trying for it, in spite of the evidence, but I consider you have extenuating circumstances.

And I’m praying for our troops! I’ll be praying for your husband’s safe return and ability to do his missions with least impediments – especially from our govt. My nephew was over there a couple of years ago.

I scrolled hastily past that trainwreck before I could say all the stuff that leapt to my keyboard.

But I must say, I consider that McCain’s considerable portfolio and the serious LACK of a portfolio by Hillary and Obama, of their DIM ACCOMPLISHMENTS, leads me to realize that McCain is FAR TO THE LEFT of Hillary and Obama - not that they are any the less dangerous, just not as EFFECTIVE.

McCain would have to travel LIGHT YEARS TO THE RIGHT, in my book, to get ANYWHERE NEAR the MIDDLE.

Some people were vaccinated with Chamberlain Syndrome – they insist every human being is automatically HUMANE, regardless of the evidence to the contrary, just by “VIRTUE” of being born a human being.

As far as I am concerned, these are days when such naivete’ is SUICIDAL.

“Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me TWICE, shame on ME!”

God Himself keep quoting that to me, like 50 kajillion times, one summer, and He never let me wiggle out of what He was saying to me.

Let me make it perfectly clear, He was saying that when several people did me wrong the same way, it eventually became MY fault they did it, NOT THEIRS – BECAUSE I PROVIDED THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT INVITED IT, not merely ALLOWED it – and it did take my full cooperation.

McCain is such a situation. He cannot harm you without your complicity. He is like a mosquito or tick, or an avalanche – McCain is going to do what McCain is going to do – but you don’t have to make yourself available for him to land on YOU!

These are not days that suicidal naivete’ can be afforded like a pet rock or something.

FER INSTANCE – I bet you do not respond to e-mails asking you to give them your bank number so they can get untold wealth out of a closing country, and they will gladly let you have most of the wealth if you just let them have an accessable pathway out of that country, into a legitimate bank account – YOURS.
THe pitiful widow would rather have a tiny portion of her own inheritance, for YOUR benefit, than lose it all to the mean dictatorship in the nation she is fleeing.

Wake up, sweetie pie, Rise and Shine, and get OUT of the BOILING WATER POT.

Reminder – McCain did the same thing in 2004 when he took the Swifties to task without considering their evidence against Lurch.

SO MUCH of that evidence is linked directly to McVAIN, as well.

Congress ready to establish normal trade relations with Laos, Vietnam

…We should be trying to oppose their wicked leadership. The Bush administration is pressing ahead with their trade agenda anyway,” says Georgie Szendrey, a television producer at a Fox affiliate in California. …
…”America’s foreign policy elite should be speaking out against the horrible crimes being committed against the Hmong hilltribes in Laos, and the Montagnards in the highlands of Vietnam. Both of these hilltribes were some of the finest allies America ever had,” Szendrey said. …
…Approval of the Vietnamese BTA should have a smoother ride through Congress than the Lao agreement. NTR with Vietnam enjoys clear bipartisan support from war veterans such as Sens. John Kerry, D-Ma., Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and John McCain, R-Ariz. …
…The communist newspaper also criticized “supporters of Hmong-American groups [who] formed the U.S. Congressional Forum on Laos, which has held a series of closed-door, secretive meetings on Capitol Hill beginning in 1999. This group has no formal link to the U.S. government but has gained support from members of Congress, including Reps. George Radanovich, R-Calif., Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., and Mark Green, R-Wis. In the Senate, Bob Smith, R-N.H., and Jesse Helms, R-N.C., placed a hold on the appointment of a new ambassador to Laos and signaled their opposition to the trade agreement.
…
Much much more…

When I was younger and people would ask what political party I belonged to I proudly told them I was republican. As the years went by I began telling people that I was a conservative republican. I saw the need to offer that modifier to clear up some misconceptions that some folks might have regarding republicans. This was around the end of the first Bush administration. Now I am reduced to calling myself just a conservative. I am ashamed of the republican party. Some of the people that they allow to carry an “R” next to their name is shameful and, frankly, John McCain should have not recieved ANY support from the RNC in response to his actions the last few years. Now, the republicans have a de-facto democrat as their standard bearer for the highest office in the land. As I mentioned before, McCain is a turd of a candidate and the republican machine keeps trying to sugar coat this turd in hopes that we will more easily swallow the turd on election day. Do I need to mention that the only choice we have is a turd?!? Honestly, the vision of a Hillary or Obama white house is just unthinkable and that is the ONLY reason I will cast my vote for this contemptable little man. Now, having said that, I will never again give so much as a thin dime to the republican party until they make an attempt to clean up their act. If this is the best they can do they deserve to lose the support of all conservatives.

Ummm, you are way to emotionally driven in your defense of mcamnesty. I am beginning to believe you are either a mcamnesty staffer, a GOP staffer troll, or a liberal troll just stirring the pot. It’s one thing to defend a candidate in attempts to bring people around, but it is quite another to post reponse after response of name calling, even if others name called first. Most would say, “hey I was just trying to get you to see the err of your ways”, then drop it. Especially, if they really beleive he was not a good choice for the candidacy as you have espoused. If mcamnesty would stop his amnesty push, which he still 100% supports no matter how hard you want to beleive otherwise, the support for him around here would change 180 degrees. But don’t hold your breath that he will denounce amnesty altogether.

the real maverick is Ron Paul.

as for me, I’m changing my reg from Republican party to Libertarian party.
