Spanking John McCain
Mary Katharine Ham delivers the back of her hand to the McCain camp:
In the most comically overblown denouncement of a campaign flush with repudiations, McCain called the N.C. GOP “out of touch with reality and the Party,” “dead wrong,” and suggested the ad introduced issues of “race” that were inappropriate, which it did not.
For his crusade, he earned himself no less than two and a half hours of bashing on Friday’s “Rush Limbaugh Show,” where the conservative host mocked the senator for teaching us all that being of independent mind is something to be prized above all else, except for when being a Maverick means ignoring the Maverick himself. “We’re all Independents now, Senator,” Limbaugh hooted during each call from an angry North Carolina Republican.
By Saturday morning, the McCain news e-mail list, which had previously delivered to my inbox no fewer than 50 Jeremiah Wright stories since the story broke, sent me the New York Times’ editorial that validated McCain’s new notion that mentioning Wright had become “shameful, ugly, race-baiting, and manipulative.” I half-expected the next news story to inform me that McCain had joined the call of Al Sharpton to “shut down” New York City in light of the Sean Bell verdict, so deep into the weeds of liberal racial demagoguery had he creeped. In classic style, McCain’s sense of “right” was the only sense of “right” acceptable in this incident, and it happened to be decidedly, err, left.
Forget the McCain nose plugs. We need McCain paddles.
Because I guarantee you, this is not going to be the last time McCain runs to the left with his knee-jerk denunciations of conservatives as racists based on evidence he doesn’t even bother to look at.

I just saw on the Drudge Report that there is now a shortage on Fertilizer!!! How can that be with Obambi, Mcinsane, and Shrillery out on the campaign trail?
# 100
there are other vp picks that would actually benefit a national ticket as well as accomplish the same thing. we shall see if JSM does indeed pick such an individual …
#50..”Right is Right” Right On!!
We got the equivilant of The View here sometimes… They like to gang up on those who, after getting served up a big helping of McCain Crap, refuse to say it tastes good and ask for More of the Same.
Again, trying to get votes from the left.
But why can’t he REALLY grill Bill and Jeremiah instead? I mean, there’s plenty to feast on out there.
McCain—–Is—–A—–Poopy-Head
ho-hum
“Bill and Jeremiah”
um, mebbe ’cause those 2 aren’t running?
annnd, at least one of them will not be running when the general campaign starts, which, i apparently need to point out to folks here, HASN’T actually started yet?!
/sigh
Not spam, you kool-aid drinking loser. I sign off with my address in EVERY comment I put on EVERY blog. Go around the blogosphere and see for yourself.
I also imagine that if I were sitting around singing your Kum-Ba-Ya bullshit, you wouldn’t be so pissy about it.
Truth be told, you know I’m right, but can’t get past the R you and McCain share on your voter registration cards.
Go to Hell.

The Democrats are fighting each other over two candidates thier constituents like while the Republicans are fighting each other over their chosen candidate their constituents hate.
“INVASION USA
Unemployment plummets after crackdown on illegals
Lawmaker: Oklahoma no longer ‘OK’ for undocumented aliens

Unemployment rates are rising across the United States, except Oklahoma. That state is experiencing the most dramatic reduction in unemployment since 2007, an improvement many in Oklahoma attribute to the passage last year by the state legislature of a strong employment-focused immigration reform law.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday reported unemployment in Oklahoma had fallen to 3.1 percent in March, down from 4 percent in March last year, while unemployment nationwide was 5.1 percent, up from 4.4 percent in March last year.
“Oklahoma is no longer ‘OK’ for illegal aliens,” said State Rep. Randy Terrill, who sponsored House Bill 1804 which passed by overwhelming majorities last year in both the House (84-14) and Senate (41-6) of the Oklahoma Legislature.
“The bottom line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for them,” Terrill said. “They will not stay here if there is no government subsidy, and they certainly won’t stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until they are deported.”
(Story continues below)
House Bill 1804, the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007, has been characterized by USA Today as “arguably the nation’s toughest state law targeting illegal immigration.”
The Oklahoma law imposes strict penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens, makes it a felony to transport or shelter illegal immigrants, forbids the state to issue drivers licenses or pay social welfare benefits to illegal aliens or their families, and empowers state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws.

————————————-
Randy Terrill, who wrote the law in OK, should be on the ticket. in fact, he should be on the top. they got rid of most of their illegals, they self deported, and the employment rate has gone down to 3% among actual Americans.
they did it right. now it needs to be passed in Congress to make all the states fall in line.
Since, as some have pointed out, McPain is not much different than the other two nitwits, he will never get elected because he is the only typical white male running.
“not much different than the other two nitwits”
piss off double …
/shakes head
McCain claims to be a maverick, what he is a pretender. what he is a member of a corrupt network of politicians interested in maintaining power at any cost.
the real maverick is Ron Paul.
as for me, I’m changing my reg from Republican party to Libertarian party.

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.
I am not as sure as the Weary Citizen seems to be regarding the spectre of Juan McAmnesty changing his stance on amnesty and open borders. Even if he had a conservative awakening and came out 100% against amnesty, support for him would be lukewarm at best. Amnesty is by no means his only negative and he simply can’t overcome all of it at this stage of the game. As a republican candidate for president he is a turd. The abosolute worst republican candidate for president in my lifetime. I wish it weren’t so, but it is what it is. Just for fun we should be paying lot of attention to what McAmnesty and his acolytes are up to during the MayDay activities…it could prove interesting as well as illuminating!
Someone earlier in the comments mentioned that John McShame is running to the middle now and I almost spewed coffee through my nose at that one. Running to the middle from where? Since his loss to Bush in 2000 John left the reservation of the right and wandered into the wilderness of the left and has made a comfortable home for himself there. The fact that he is (barely)right of Hitlery or Obama doesn’t offer much consolation to the rank and file conservative voter.
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.
SO MUCH of that evidence is linked directly to McVAIN, as well.
“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.
EEYeeuussssszzzzzzz…
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.
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.
Psalms 91 - The Soldier’s Shield!
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
i am sorry, but i had to comment. i for one will be voting constitutional party. i think that the power needs to swiftly move from the republicans to another party immediately for the conservatives to continue to have a say in this great nation. mcamnesty, is and has been a sabotuer to the republican party. through subtefuge he has assisted in defeating core conservative issues for well over 10 years now. i have been watching this guy for a long time and he is no conservative.
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
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:

Wow, Wordpress turned it into a link!! The oher WP blog I post in does’t do that!
Fantastic!

Ouch! Ouch! I mortal wound from unwise_man’s razor sharp, rapier-like wit!
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…

Let me just say this:
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.
