I agree with you for once, Raharu. I think we could also agree that the Republicans should not have control over two houses either (or maybe you meant branches of government, it really doesn't matter). The fact is that our democratic government is designed to be divided so that it cannot be corrupted. While it has obviously been corrupted to some degree since the revolution (mostly because of the times that a single party had total control), it could still get a lot worse, and I would really rather that didn't happen.

McCain is part of the problem and as such will not and can never be a part of the solution.

Sadly, the other two leftists runnign against him are also part of the problem.

I will not vote for McCain as a life long Conservative. If a leftist is going to be President, let the left take the credit for the catastrophe that is certain to follow them.

The problem is that they will never admit their failure. For the next 20 years they will be blaming Bush for everything.

Delusion is the lefties bestest good buddy! It's that which has turned Fascism and Communism to "Right Wing" in the last 60 years.

McCain's problem is quite reminiscent of the problem that another presidential candidate had in 2004 - That's right, John Kerry. His positions were never based on convictions, but on which way he thought the political winds were blowing at any given time. As a result, he lost to Bush, more on this than any other issue (and he had quite a few of them). He deserved to lose too, Just as McCain deserves to lose now.

Add to this, McCain's problem with his political compass itself. He tells everybody he is Conservative, but people are not defined by what they say, but by what they do. McCain has:

1) Worked hard to help Liberals defeat Conservatives in elections.

2) Has lied to us all on the issue of illegal immigration.

3) Was part of the infamous gang of 14, who thwarted some of Bush's Court nominations. While Bush might not be great in other areas of his presidency, his performance here was stellar. Yet McCain did all he could to derail Bush's efforts here.

4) McCain-Feingold? Enough said.

And this is just for starters. Hate to break it to you, McCain supporters, but McCain lied to you, and is still lying to you. Frankly, supporting McCain is not showing Conservatism, but aligning yourselves with the Liberals. Should he win the presidency, and if you voted for him, you will have no reason to whine about Liberals taking over. You made it happen. The alternative? Lets the Democrats have it this year, and then take back the government in 2012. At least this way, it will be done with Conservative values. And think for a minute - Obama won't be more than a one term president. Would you rather sacrifice 4 years to get your country back, or are you content to have a permanent Liberal majority? If your answer to that question is McCain, then sorry, there isn't a Conservative bone in your body, so stop lying and telling everybody about how Conservative you are, and stop lying to yourself. You are a Liberal. Live with it.

PS. Michelle Malkin also has something to say about John "Shamnesty" McCain.

I would bet money you never supported McCain!

He is an intelligent person and I am sure that as a candidate he never supported McCain. However he is saying at one point he may have if the idiot hadn't done these stupid things.

dan- has stated he is a libertarian that leans paleocon (I am unsure what that is exactly) he is very well reasoned in his arguments. I tend to disagree with him on his foreign issue stances but line up with him in the other 2 legs of the conservative stool.

McCain matches up with exactly 1 of my beliefs which is to kick the crap out of the enemy on their soil. Which is why I will find it next to impossible to vote for McCain.

I doubt it.
You don't seem like the type that'd be willing to lie, and whore yourself out to lobbyists... but I could be wrong


I would lie, and whore yourself out to lobbyists, then after I win the office I would tell them this time I lied
to all you lobbyists, but not to the American People.

It would be a first, so see someone USE the lobbyists.
ah, but it's just a pipe dream.
