I am so freaking tired of stupid meme that John McCain is some kind of quasi-socialist just itching to implement the Democrat agenda. McCain is not a perfect conservative, but he and Pelosi and the far left agree on very little. Perhaps instead of having a Speaker Pelosi, we should actually do something to see that she isn't speaker. Oh, but that wouldn't be punishing the GOP enough, so we can't do that.<BR/><BR/>As for that KKK-wannabe Derbyshire, he ceased being a useful commentator years ago. The whole Savage/Derbyshire axis of "pox on both your houses" crankyconservatism (the real deal) is frankly getting old and tired.<BR/><BR/>No, but go have fun voting for Bob "wiretaps violate civil liberties except when I vote for them/can't even win my own party's Congressional primary" Barr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21758924.post-66017282523254813102008-09-03T20:11:00.000-04:002008-09-03T20:11:00.000-04:00I know.

When major changes happen within months of an election, these changes prove to be blatant pandering for votes. How can the results of a 30 year career be erased by 3 months worth of changed opinions? They can't and I predict if McCain wins, the coming years will prove it.<BR/><BR/>Obama will pass 75% of Pelosi's agenda. McCain probably passes 50% of it. But in the latter scenario, Pelosi's agenda ends up being passed with GOP backing. Frightening thought.<BR/><BR/>Liberals love to protest when we drop the term "moral relativism" on them or charge that they lack core principles.<BR/><BR/>However, sometimes, in fairness, it has to be turned back on us.<BR/><BR/>Ok.

It was going to be very dififcult to pull the lever without some dramatic changes. <BR/><BR/>Well, they all happened. <BR/><BR/>There is a law pending now which would clarify the UIGEA to pertain to just sports gambling, and not poker. I'm fine with that. <BR/><BR/>Amnesty was removed from the platform. Check. <BR/><BR/>ANWR is in the platform in a good way. Check. <BR/><BR/>A VP candidate was selected with the conservative viewpoints we've often shellacked McCain for. Check. <BR/><BR/>Obama tacks really, really hard to the left instead of to the center.

So he comments on how pathetic our presidential choices are this year? He's right.<BR/><BR/>I know you're on the McCain bus now. Fair enough. But since you're calling out Derbyshire for merely being consistent, I can't resist strolling down memory lane to see the very opposite approach.<BR/><BR/>Guess who said all of the following? (and who was absolutely correct in doing so as well):<BR/><BR/><I>I would not vote for McCain in any way - I would vote for Obama before I pulled the lever for McCain.</I><BR/><BR/><I>I'm not too thrilled about this outcome, and if McCain is on the top of the ticket it will be very difficult for me to go to the polls on Nov. 2.</I><BR/><BR/><I>Watched a bit of the debate and remembered why I hate McCain so much, the lying douchebag.</I><BR/><BR/><I>Unless you like McCain and Hillary. Then you're probably happy. Me, I think I'll sharpen my survivalist skills if either of them gets elected.</I><BR/><BR/>Pretty good lines make all for the Obama campaign...or for the libertarian protest vote, of course! :-)<BR/><BR/>GO BOB BARR & WAYNE ALLYN ROOTJeff Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252053713014756507noreply@blogger.com
