   Was Mc Cain part of the GOP betrayal crowd during the Clinton impeachment days when honorable men like James Rogin (R,CA) was “thrown under the bus”?

   Or maybe they consider themselves Conservatives first, and Republicans second… like many of their constituents, whom they represent.

   Hope they have heard from their constituents and are on the ‘get rid of illegal aliens and illegal criminals’ side.

   I know I waste my time writing to my reps, but I keep writing anyway. I’m from the once great state of Illinois and my reps are all D. The Chicago machine sees to that.

   Quite the opposite, it would appear. House Republicans are more united in their opposition to McCain than ever, it seems.

   Maybe it is because the House Reps have to work closer with constituents because they are on the block every two years. Maybe we are noisier with our Reps and the House has a better feel for our disappointment with McCain.

    Who will cause more damage to the United States over the next 4 years as President. McCain or Obama?

    This is a no-brainer for me. I can see withholding donations to try and pressure McCain to toe a certain line but it’s not in my best interest to withhold my vote.

    I think all of these creative ideas on what to do so far should be tried. Such as, if you get an envelope from McCain, send him back a mexican peso. Or you can do an internet search of what it looks like and make a color printout of the image.

    You could get a picture of that mexican peso (or whatever that looks like a dollar bill in mexican currency) that has the picture of Bush, and then scotch tape a picture of McCain’s head over the one of Bush and do the same thing.

    One other thing I suggested before is to make a pledge to McCain for a hundred dollars. Then, send in the ‘first installment’ of ten dollars along with a note that says you will send in the balance of $90 when he reverses his stance on rewarding illegal immigrants who have successfully broken our laws and violated our sovereignty by ignoring our borders and customs offices.

    IF enough people did this, it might make a difference.

    I disagree. It is easier to fight the enemy outside the gates than it is to deal with a traitor inside the gate. McCain’s mission since SC in 2000 has been to dismantle the conservative agenda and the apparatus used to fight liberalism.

    If McCain wins, there will be no opposition to liberal policies. At least with Obama, there will be a fight.

    “Looks like House Republicans are doing what a lot of grass-roots conservatives are doing–or rather not doing: Not giving John McCain cash. “

    Translation:

    See kids, don’t give Mc Shamnasty(TM) cash, ‘kuz you is “conservatives” and somehow not “Americans” therefore it’s OK of Obama runs the country in to the ground and surrenders to the islamists who want us destroyed.

    Meanwhile:

    “The presidential campaign for Democrat Barack Obama reported Thursday it raised 52 million dollars in June”

    Thats right kids, we are “conservatives” and that’s why it is somehow OK to sit back and elect the most liberal socialist senator in US history.

    If Obama wins he will simply sign every crazy, dishonorable, destructive, socialist piece of legislation that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Ted Kennedy send him. Opposition? The only opposition from Obama will be that they are not crazy, dishonorable, destructive, and socialist enough.

    Frank,

    Of course, we dont want to count the logical conclusion that people who dont give to mccain and likewise for obama has nothing to do with them being cheap, but maybe that they dont really support either candidate and see them both equally as a problem.

    I look at it this way. There are 2 places on my way home in the afternoon that serve a particular type of soda concoction i prefer. I dislike both because they hire illegals and one of them has less than perfect customer service.

    As a result, i do one of 2 things. I either come home and drink something else, or go out of my way a couple of miles to another location. The moral of the story is, I dont support or patronize places that I don’t like. It would be like going a few times a week to a restaurant you absolutely hate, but go and eat there for no reason anyway. Same principle at play here.

    #38- I’m not sure what the “lie” is. Wasting a vote on McCain on the prayer that he will act like a conservative? Or that conservatism stands a better chance without a reach-across-the-aisle RINO at the helm?

    Your sets of points are self-contradictory. If, God forbid, Obama is elected he will have a democrat House and a democrat Senate who be sending him criminally insane legislation and any threat of republican filibustering or obstruction in any way will be useless because Barack will gleefully sign whatever they send; including gigantic entitlement programs which will become like social security, you will not be able to take them away. These nanny-state programs will get people addicted to a huge government which will take away more and more freedom by virtue of its growth.

    If McCain gets in he will have no incentive to cooperate with a democrat congress and the few republicans left (hopefully there will be enough) can exert a measure of control over the budget which hasn’t been balanced in years and which McCain has promised to do.

    In so far as “forever emasculating the GOP from ever fighting the conservative fight again” you do not gain influence by losing elections. Simply hoping for the democrats to make a mess so you can blame it on them isn’t good for the country and wont work anyway. (The democratic congress has record low approval ratings and obama has proven himself to be an inveterate liar and dangerous incompetent and guess what: the press and the democratic base do not care. They are going to lie for/vote for them anyway.)

    Indeed, I believe it is imperative for conservatives for McCain to win this. It will demonstrate that despite the democratic advantages of a education indoctrination system, complete control of the media, lavish funding by evil Hungarian billionaires, Bush screwing the pooch, etc, that the country does not want to take the path that they are cramming down our throat. If they win, It will set back conservatism for decades because of the changes they will make to solidify their power.

    McCain-Feingold biting the Errant Senator on the butt? He has spent twenty years bad mouthing his fellow Republicans and is at a lost to understand why they don’t support him. Is this man smart enough to be President? And his election staff is no brighter. They have no way of tracting their mailings. When I get a McCain 08 letter I send them a 10 centavo coin. That would not pay for the postage! And yet the next month I get a new mailing.

    I am sending money to quite a few conservatives around the country. I will vote for McCain out of fear of Obama and MamaObama. But just about the time I almost broke down and sent something he goes and speaks to LaRaza. Let them support his campaign. The Senator can take up a collection at the Maricopa County Jail and Arizona State Prison. Quite a few of his “God’s Children” are there at the moment. Does the Senator realize he is fuera de La Raza? That means he gets nothing/nada.
    But with all that reaching across the isle maybe the Democrats will stand up and help. Nada?
