No, thanks, “my friend”
John McCain wants your money. This solicitation is landing in many readers’ e-mail boxes:
My Friend,
In the time since the 2008 presidential campaign ended I have had a chance to reflect on many things. And as I said on election night, I truly cannot adequately express how indebted I am to you, my entire campaign team and my running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.
The road was a difficult one from the outset. Yet, your faith, your support and friendship never wavered. Just as I have proudly served my country for more than half a century I am as committed as ever to helping see our mission through.
So to continue the movement, I have decided to launch a new grassroots organization called Country First.
Today, I’m asking you as a friend and supporter to renew your commitment to our common goals by becoming a Charter Member of Country First with an online contribution.
Country First will allow us to strengthen our Party, better define our Republican ideals and message, recruit and back strong, dedicated candidates and continue our efforts to bring real reform to government by always putting our country and the noble ideals she stands for first.
Together, we can make government more responsive to today’s problems and more answerable to the people. That’s why I hope you will become a Charter Member of Country First and support our cause by following this link to make a generous contribution of any amount today.
With your help we can work to elect these new leaders to Governorships, Statehouses, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and beyond. Once in office they will become fierce advocates for limited government, economic opportunity, personal responsibility and strong national security.
On Election Night last year, I called on all Americans not to despair of our present difficulties but to believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
Today, I am asking you to join Country First to continue fighting for the worthy cause of revitalizing both our democracy and our Party.
Our goals will never be realized if your voice falls silent. You are the best hope for our country’s success. Please stay in this fight with me; our country needs your service now as much as ever.
I know that together we can make a difference – we already have. Again, I thank you for your unwavering friendship and support.
Sincerely,
John McCain
P.S. Country First will serve as a powerful voice for the American people. It will allow us to get our Republican message out to the voters and elect a new generation of Republican leaders who can go to Statehouses and Congress to fight for all we believe in. Please join as a Charter Member of Country First by following this link to make a contribution today. Thank you.

Another item to add to the long list of RNC
mis-stepsmis-stakesF***-ups.I sent an “unsubscribe” memo after I got his e-mail. I included these words, which I will use from now on at the end of my Posts…” Omnia relinquit sevare republicam”.. To Bill Grant, if I may say so, never again will moderation be a plank in the Conservative movement. Better to have the liberals in power under the light and falling on their collective swords then later have people of your ilk come to me to ask for help come election time.
“Omnia relinquit sevare republicam”
Sorry John McRino, the pork laden TARP bill that you voted for STOLE all our money. Try asking your democrat friends.
Liberals used to call Ronald Reagan an idiot all the time.
Bill Grant:
Thanks Bill for another favorable comparison wtih me and Ronald Reagan.
Please, someone make him go away.
Am I correct in guessing Juan Hernandez McCain will NOT be getting very many contributions, large or small, from the posters here?
That arrogant little jerk just can not believe he is not worshiped. [I just got a call from the RNC-Told them no too]He calls millions of us names for opposing Amnesty, lies about it being Amnesty, tries to tell State Parties how to run their in house campaigns and then tells the whole country Obama would be as good as President as he would. Add Cap and Trade and this man is indeed in the wrong Party. He is Harry Reid Short.
Perhaps he can become Ambassador to Viet Nam–it would get him out of Arizona.
The USA is in serious trouble because of idiots like you who put party before principle. In fact in all your endless postings here you have managed to never say what principles, if any, you have. And how you expect to go about enacting them.
Why don’t you pry your sucker-like lips off McAmnestys behind for five seconds and try doing that now?
What, if anything, do you believe in? How do propose to accomplish it?
Uh, which country is talking about puting first? Because I live in Arizona and this worthless pos NEVER put’s the interests of the U.S. over the interests of Mexico . . .
Yep, received the same email. Deleted VERY quickly. He’ll be lucky to raise $5.
HA,HA,HA,HA!!!
How about if we just send cash directly to the DNC, you liberal democrat McCain!
I wish the RINO would have won. The difference between bronchitis and lung cancer, as I described it on one of these threads back in September.
But he lost, and the very fact that he agreed with Obama on so many issues many people oppose, like open borders and amnesty, and global warming/carbon taxes, and his refusal to mention Obama’s two decade membership in an America hating church, meant he couldn’t do much comparing and contrasting on the issues.
And when the MSM does a pretty good job playing down Obama’s extreme radicalism and ties, so the average person who doesn’t spend much time listening to Limbaugh or looking at conservative web sites, sees two guys that seem close in ideology, both critics of Bush, both supporters of increased regulations that blame greedy businessmen for the nations problems, and one is in his late 40s and portrayed as cool, the other in his 70s who comes off as cranky, well, no surprise Obama won.
Huh? This wasn’t written in Spanish?
But, John is missing the target audience that he fought hardest for.
I used to get e-mails from McCain but I’ve since had them flagged as junk mail so they immediately go to the trash bin so as not to clutter up my inbox.
Anyone have that link to “
CountryMexico First” ??Go crawl into a hole and stay there, McAmnesty.
I knew what I wanted to say but looks like everyone else said it for me.
The irony is that, so far, Obama is acting more conservative than McCain, especially with the announcement of a budget watchdog who’s going to start with a focus detecting waste in Medicare and Social Security. Shouldn’t the donkeys be howling soon?
Spam offers that option and it only serves as a way to confirm your email address.
When I saw this email was from the ‘Rino’ I immediately deleted it without reading it.
The one thing McCain refuses to accept or understand is that very few voters voted for him. Most of the votes were either for Sarah Palin or a vote against Obama. Very few of voters voted for him.
He got it by default because Huckabee and Romney split the conservatives in the party. Then a bunch of dumb voters went to him at the last minute because they thought he could as a moderate.
Very, very, very few.
Every vote for McCain-Palin was a vote for Palin or a vote against the Obamunist.
Certainly you jest. When he says “Country First”, which country do you think he has in mind?
Michelle, I agree with you, and putting America First, we will have to say NO THANKS!!
I don’t get emails from him anymore since I changed my party affiliation to
Conservative…and if I do get one, I’ll be sure to tell how
off…how I feel.On January 7th, 2009 at 3:27 pm, Concerned Citizen said:

MNUSMCDavid said:

JHSII said:
No – one – compared – you – to – Reagan.
flenser said:
Sure it’s not because of leftist sock-puppets like you who troll right wing blogs to split the republicans and help elect democrats? Hey, flenser you don’t like Israel; shouldn’t you be posting about the glory of Hamas today?
I’ll be sending him two pesos and asking him to spend them in his favorite country, which apparently is not the United States of America. Maybe he’ll forget his passport and have to stay there.
Neither Huck or Romney was Reaganesque conservatives, but they were a whole lot more conservative than McCain.
Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo were the purist conservatives, and both were stalwart on border security, but Tancredo got tagged by the MSM as being too shrill on the issue, which would have made electability difficult in a country where the MSM is so biased.
Hunter didn’t have the name recognition or the money. Thompson seemed pretty good, but the six month charade of “is he a candidate or not” made him lose momentum.
And, of course, the front loaded “open primaries” where Dems and Independents could vote.
Since Obama/Hillary was a horse race, not too many Dems voted in those GOP primaries, but plenty of independents did. Enough to give McCain early momentum while the more conservative candidates split the vote of the base.
I saw a lot of people on threads back when it was obvious McCain would win blame the Republican Party, but other than the stupid open primaries, set by the state parties, not the national RNC, it wasn’t the Republicans who inflicted McCain on us so much as McCain had the good luck to be the sole obvious non-conservative in a race with several conservatives or pseudo-conservatives.
It could be even worse in 2012, unless Obama is such an obvious disaster that he has a Dem challenger, the Dem primaries will not be contests, and not just independents, but lots of Democrats sent over by George Soros and his allies at KoS and DemocratUnderground will be voting in our primaries, and unless a clear conservative favorite emerges early so that there isn’t a multiple candidate horse race, than the Dems may well pick our candidate in 2012.
If it even matters, when illegals are voting thanks to same day registration/voting, ID-less voting and other Democrat/ACORN reforms.
I believe in free market competition as much as most folks, but doesn’t McCain realize the market is already saturated with extremist liberal PACs? Why another one?
I disapprove of how both sides in this little mini-debate have become the leftist sock puppet.
It makes us REAL leftists feel marginalized.
Talk about “damning with faint praise”, Ed! (but correctly so.)
First, that isn’t what I posted. If you’re going to quote me, then you can actually quote me or else you prove everything I’ve said about you is true.
The actual quote was this:
Second, YOU favorably compared me with Ronald Reagan. I pointed out exactly how you made the comparison.
Respond to what is actually posted and people might start treating you as if you weren’t a liberal plant.
Your choice.
Hades will freeze over before I give’em a penny.
If this old nitwit wanted money from us, perhaps he should have made an attempt at denouncing his own campaign from smearing Palin.
Perhaps McCain/Feingold prevents me from donating. I just don’t want to risk it.
Perhaps his fellow Gang of 14 would be willing to donate.
Country First? Perhaps you should have thought of that 6 months ago so as to run a proper campaign against Urkel. Since you ran such a sorry campaign, it was obvious you wanted to put being Mr. Nice first.
I donated to Colemans attempt to set things right. McCain deserves nothing.
Wow, so many comments already.
John McCain is not Republican, and he’s about to learn how very valuable Sarah Palin was to his fund raising effort. Very few people are going to send him $$$ to push amnesty.
I belong to The Heritage Foundation and Rush Limbaugh endorses it. Great organization. Check it out.
I thought McCain said he wouldn’t take money from PAC’s. I could be mistaken.
Actually he got it by how the RINO buffoons in he RNC set up the primaries. By having several “moderate” states first, it guaranteed a limp-wristed nominee.
My response?
I don’t give to Democrats.
I’ve read that letter several times today and I’m still not sure exactly what he wants to do other than collect money. There don’t appear to be any goals other than motherhood and apple pie.
Those who send money demonstrate clearly the principle “a fool and his money are soon parted”.
McCain is crazy! I got his solicitation, too. I unsubscribed from his mailing list. I wouldn’t give him a thin dime.
Only to meet up with another fool.
LOL!!! Mccain sux and he always will suck. Be glad when he is out of office so I don’t have to hear him or fight him in yet another amnesty battle.
Just who the heck is this Bill Grant? I haven’t been on this blog long enough to have any experience with him other than his horrible comments about Minnesotans on another thread. But he sounds like an elitist snob. Am I taking him wrong? I assume he lives on one of the coasts and is perhaps a lawyer or a professor. Just curious…does anyone know?
*I* am launching a grassroots?
Huh?
Yeah, I’ve been busy for a couple of hours too. It was gentle ribbing – no offense meant!
Interesting isn’t it? If this nitwit had grassroots support, he would not now have to launch a grassroots organization.
……and I will continue to consult with my GOOD and DEAR friends in the democratic party and at the new york times as how best to promote the republican party. This will insure that the republicans will always be the strongest minority party in the history of this great nation……
No worries. McCain has shown he cannot even run his nose, much less a presidential campaign or lefty PAC.
Happy trails, Maverick.
Point very well taken, sir!
Your the old Republican party. We’re the new conservatives. I’ve already given to much on my tax bill, thanks to your party. Go beg somewhere else.
GEES!
Actually, “Country First” has been the Bush-McCain motto for the last eight years. The country in question being Mexico.
When I got this e-mail, I first responded and said there was only one reason for my two donations to the McCain campaign and that one reason was Sarah Palin. then, I unsubscribed. Suck it, John.
I’ve observed that, too. I think Obama cleverly noticed and exploited the HUGE void in the debate which he filled with conservative-sounding rhetoric…e.g., “tax cuts for 95%”. He didn’t need to appeal to the lib base, b/c he had them already…so he cleaned up on the moderates and assuaged the consciences of conservatives by sounding like one of them. Brilliant strategy. Too bad for the US of A.
I told them I never received my Obama’s Energy Plan tire gauge when I donated $25 in September! So I told him he could keep the tire gauge in lieu of my donation.
Senility is a terrible thing to watch. So move away from the mirror, John.

Scrapper, Bill has a difficult time accepting that 1) McCain lost and 2) McCain lost because of McCain. Instead, Bill angrily blames evryone else.
If it were me, I’d lick my wounds and then move on. C’est la vie.

Another favorable comparison between me and Ronald Reagan.
Another changing of what I posted listed again as a “quote”.
Of course, you follow that with a repeat of your favorable comparison of me with Ronald Reagan.
Are you now saying that liberals never called Reagan an idiot?

Peep, we are now talking about trillion dollar defects for at least the next 4 years.

Sorry, I can’t look at the news without being “angry” and we haven’t even gotten started with the Obama administration. Yet the opposition is as divided as ever and working overtime to lose the next election as well. C’est la vie isn’t going to leave a lot left to hand to the next generation.

Another lie, it was cut and paste. All anyone has to do to verify that is tilt their head up and read your effluence.
Whether or not they did or they did not is irrelevant to you being an idiot. Idiot.
Ditto on that but
the conservative base had to take the best thing available.
Ann Coulter’s choice was Hunter. He didn’t have charisma, didn’t have the wherewhital to inspire.
Tancredo ended up looking like a one-issue candidate, plus same deficiencies as Hunter.
No, wasn’t MSM. It was the charisma/inspirational factor.
Thompson had same problem. No sizzle, just steak. Unfortunately, you have to sell the product.
I should have remembered that. That was a killer.
Could be, but how will we ever know?
Think you’ve hit the nail on the head here. Default.
Republican Party has to go through big generational adjustment. My initial fear was McCain would be another Dole.
Reminder to self: trust your instincts.
God, I wish someone would expose all that. WAY overdue.
Please! None of us here can waste even a crumb of time, money, emotion, energy, thought, etc. on McCain.
Let him go.
Bill Grant:
And now Bill starts to get long-winded in his attacks. Calling me an idiot mirrors exactly what the left did to Ronald Reagan. I’m in good company there.
It is not a lie. I have demonstrated that it is not a lie. Your hatred of me and other Conservatives is getting in the way again, Bill.
Anyone who reads my post themselves will note that I never put “[sic]” anywhere in my post. That means it was edited. Changed. That means it’s another lie by Bill.
Actually it’s very relevant because it proves that you’re the liar.
Don’t try to dig any deeper, Bill. You can’t get out of the hole that you’ve dug for yourself that way.
MNUSMCDavid and purplepeep–thank you. Back to Latin class for me! (I know it has been a couple of decades since my last class, but I should have gotten closer.)
As long as I’ve confessed to ignorance in reading Latin, is this sentence a famous quote about someone that I should have learned? Plutarch about someone?
I think John McCain has grassroots confused with astroturfing.
With McCain it might have been double that figure. On September 24 of last year he co-issued a pro-bailout statement of solidarity with Obama. Six of one half, dozen of the pther – “We were screwed ’08″.
Thank you. Everyone’s been trying to figure out who Obama really is, including me.
I see a pattern with him. In the early primaries, he played to white voters because he knew blacks wouldn’t vote for him if he wasn’t a viable candidate with whites. When he got whites duped, he shifted to playing to the black vote. Then he saw that McCain was lame and all he had to do was coast to the finish, especially with convenient near end economic downturn.
When he accepted the presidential win in Chicago, he said his next job was to win over the 47% or 48% who didn’t vote for him. He’s done a damn good job of that with his cabinet picks and not speaking out against Hamas.
My best guess about who he really is at this juncture is he’s a highly perceptive biped who has duped the left and the right so he can fulfill his latent ego need to be a president. His main concern is to figure out which past president to model after so he can be a historically memorable president.
I haven’t seen any Conservatism out of Obama.
The so-called “budget watchdog” is just another one of those agencies or commissions that will have no power whatsoever and the only purpose of which is to have him be able to say “I appointed this guy, therefore I did something about the problem.”
Remeber that Obama is part and parcel of the corrupt Chicago political machine. They’ve now went national.
Don’t fall for it.
This is a representative republic, you putz, not a democracy!
No soup for you! And none for your derelict party either!
“All the gentlemen here understand both the pressures and possibilities of this office. For me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary.”
He wasn’t kidding about valuing transparency. He knows he’s a weakling..
Previously he said being in the Oval Office would be “cool”. For God’s sake, don’t we need a grown-up for our leader?
Physically and more.
Why do you think he is obsessed with working out? To make up for his personal insecurity, his doubt of his own strength.
He didn’t have a father figure growing up.
He didn’t get the strength you should inherit from a father.
Frankly, I’d feel more secure if all the past living president camped out with him at the White House.
I think he invited all the past Presidents for that reason.
Got the same email and send the same response – No thanks and hit unsubscribe.
Great, this is the point in the program where JHSII acts like bubblegum on your shoe…not posting anything that is remotely relevant, confusing getting the last word with something valuable to contribute. “Tag, you’re it, no back-sies.” Grow up.
JHSII said:
I guess they missed teaching you about false logical syllogisms in your group home.
Your idiocy has divorced you from reality. (Too long winded?)
That is yet another lie. You are not big enough to hate. You are not a conservative and I do not hate conservatives. Indeed, I am a genuine conservative.
Here’s another lesson that will be wasted on you. [sic] indicates that the said word was reproduced “has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.” In other words I did not edit what you wrote, idiot, I indicated that I was reproducing your illiterate nonsense mistakes and all.
If I am a liar then you can cut and paste the quote where I compared you “favorably” to Ronald Reagan. Have at it. Here’s a hint; Calling you an idiot isn’t what you will need. Anything short of an actual favorable comparison demonstrates that you are what I have said you are.
Correct. Nothing solid has hit the ground. Long way there.
I understand that suspicion but Obama is a unique dude. We need to watch him.
He has infected own whole country with Chicago politics with the Blago/Burris theater.
AIDS on a patritoic scale.

Another lie. Either way, the answer is no.
More proof that I’m right about Bill. Just after I post that he’s going to stay up all night attacking me just like he did before – he posts yet another attack. It only took him ten minutes.
Then he says that my pointing out that he’s a liar and a troll is my psychologicalprojection. Sorry Bill, but posting a fact isn’t projection.
As far as his challenge that I cut and paste the quote where he compared me favorably with Ronald Reagan, fine. Here’s the direct, unedited quote:
Now, as liberals called Ronald Reagan an idiot all the time, and Bill keeps calling me that – that makes it a favorable direct comparison.
Now, can Bill control himself and not attack me agin in any followup to this post?
McCain got his a$$ handed to him with Sarah Palin on the ticket. It would have been worse than Custer’s last stand without her. This guy is a loser and dissed the conservatives and now wants to rerun the same old losing strategy. Adios Amigo—vaya con el diablo. Hope you can achieve your dream on $17.99–which is about what you will raise. Centrist BS!!
O.K. I have now figured out who the heck Bill Grant is. He is a confused little man who likes to bicker and can’t ever let anything go. He is rude, sarcastic, and likes to argue for the sake of arguing. He can’t stand anyone thinking he might be wrong, so he just keeps harping. Bill Grant may be somewhat on the conservative side, but he is still a troll. And why is everyone wasting so much time on him? I know debate can be fun, but he doesn’t debate, he argues with a stubborness that borders on paranoia. I am now done with my psychoanalysis.
I believe you meant “deficit”, Bill, though “defect” better sums up McCain. You’ve found a candidate who makes grandiose campaign promises – that’s such a rarity, y’know.

happyscrapper – Yep, that just about sums it up.
Bill also believes that by attackiing Conservatives he can bring them around to his cause. Don’t even try to figure that one out.

Good point. I keep remembering that commercial, “It’s all about the O.” In this case, it’s his ego that’s driving the train, not his ideology. Look out, though, we are in for some real twists and turns.
Agreed…once again, he’s pandering to those who would rather not think too hard about what his words really mean.
Bill, I beg to differ about McCain’s rep as a “deficit hawk”…he BLEW IT on the $700B bailout…yes, he wasted his ENTIRE rep on that single moment when the country was waiting for him to do the right thing. So now, his final legacy will be as one of those bobblehead dogs that sits in the window of a ’64 Chevy.

I am flattered that you would devote so much energy into your flash card analysis of me, however you have more pressing problems than Bill Grant. You are in the process of electing Al Frankin, your son in law is a Minnesotan moonbat and your husband is still out picking at his icehole. Turn off the NPR, hop on your Ski-Doo and go see if you can help Norm Coleman defeat Stuart Smalley in the re-recount. Because adding his name to the Elleson, Wellstone, Jesse the body Ventura list of elected officials isn’t doing a whole lot for your little Minnesota chamber of commerce routine that has gotten pretty threadbare by now.
You couldn’t even stand up for your running mate and you want me to stand up for you? Sorry Captain, I gave at the office.
I used to joke about Overstock.com with another company I called Out-of-Stock.com
The way it worked was this:
You would order something from out catalogue. I would take your credit card number and bill you. Then I would inform you that the item was out of stock, and we didn’t know when we would get another one in. Until it came in, however, I would charge your card a monthly holding fee.
Sadly the item would never come in.

So we are better off with Obama… Who made no such promises to balance the budget and is going to blow the lid off spending when we already have a 10 trillion dollar debt.(On a 13 trillion dollar GDP.) Hasn’t anyone thought about what things will look like when our dollar becomes effectively worthless? What do I do with my savings peep? Buy foreign currency? Buy foreign investments? (I am an American and my cash stays in this country, even if it is being made worthless.) I just had a talk with my mother who is making less in interest than the rate of inflation, effectively losing money on her investments. Are you old enough to remember stagflation peep? How is this better for the country?

The problem here is that McLame wasn’t the answer and his astroturfing now only makes it look like he wasn’t even trying to win the election back then.
Remember how we got McLame – the open primaries let the democrats choose our candidate. They wanted someone they could easily beat. They got him.

No! They have shunned their Constitutional responsibility (per the 20th Amendment) to ensure the President elect qualifies. They have “outsourced” that resonsibilty to Annenberg Political Fact Check, an organization that made two glaring factual errors and could have connections to Obama (Obama chaired the Chicago Annenberg Challenge)
Has any Senator or Representative asked the Supreme Court to rule on whether or not
No.
McCain is NOT a natural born citizen, and a non-binding Senate resolution cannot magically make him one.
