“Once John Wins, He’ll Make A Left” ~ Suicide Voters”?? LOL

ONCE JOHN WINS, HE’LL MAKE A LEFT

RUNNING as a conserva tive, John McCain rolled up huge victories last night in New York, New Jersey and beyond.
But if history is any guide, the McCain we’ve seen of late on the campaign trail is the most conservative McCain we’ll ever see.
He has taken a commanding lead in the GOP primary by packaging himself as the “true conservative” committed to limited government, to slashed federal spending and to an avowedly conservative Supreme Court.
He claims the mantle of Ronald Reagan. He even claims the mantle of Barry Goldwater, conservatism’s crack version of Reagan. But as McCain clinches the GOP nomination, he will begin his usual leftward lurch.
He will return to his lifelong positions as soft on illegal immigration, skeptical of tax cuts and favoring strong federal control over things like campaign financing.
McCain’s appeal to independents and even the left is what makes him such a powerhouse in the general election.
It is also precisely what has so many in the Republican base so wildly fearful of handing him the keys to the kingdom.
If the Republican Party expands “because we have a candidate who’s going out trying to attract liberals by being like them, then the party’s going to be around but you won’t recognize it,” thundered radio king Rush Limbaugh.
The Republican Party will “be over as it exists now,” he warns.
To understand just how McCain has managed to limp to the front of the GOP field, look no further than the outcome of yesterday’s West Virginia Republican Convention.
At the outset, victory was in the air for Mitt Romney, the flip-flopping former Massachusetts governor.
He is universally loathed by all the other GOP candidates, who banded together to give all their votes to Mike Huckabee – simply to deny Romney a win.
The depressing GOP field that has paved a path to victory for McCain also gave surprising wins last night to Huckabee in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, as well as in his home state of Arkansas.
Still, McCain has so radicalized key conservatives that some have vowed to turn themselves into suicide voters next November by pulling the lever for Hillary Rodham Clinton over him.
This last-minute blitz against McCain by Limbaugh and others, however, comes far too late.
But if those conservatives sit out the general election, they will help Democrats make history by electing either the first black president or the first female president next November.

Wild Thing’s comment…….

“Still, McCain has so radicalized key conservatives that some have vowed to turn themselves into suicide voters next November by pulling the lever for Hillary Rodham Clinton over him.”
SUICIDE VOTERS ! LOL!
John Mc Cain is the modern day Benedict Arnold. McQueeg is not Reaganesque, he’s Nixonian and worse in his dirty tricks on Super Tuesday. And we all know how McCain has attacked conservatism. Voters have been dumbed down to the point that they follow whatever they are told to do. Most of them. Conservatives, however, do still think for themselves. That will be McCain’s downfall.
According to the votes, Romney is winning the conservative vote big time. That is GOOD news. Then there is the but…….But unfortunately McCain is winning the votes from the rino’s and dems in the Republican party. And who know there is also a chance that Dems that are not as left as Hillary and Obama will be voting for McCain as well. Just my guess because where does a ‘dem lite’ go but to McCain.
McCain is not a conservative and barely a Republican. Before this year is out, the letters GOP will come to mean, “Get Out of Politics.”
Conservatives/Republicans never voted for open borders, trashing the First Amendment, “constitutional rights” for terrorists, or sacrificing the integrity of the Constitution in order to “protect the supposed integrity of Senate chicanery. No doubt, to the media and in John McCain’s mind, this is how the results are to be interpreted.
Turn left???
The man IS a democrat. – In the mold of a Lieberman on defense.
Okay, lets give that thought a roll here and see what turns up:
1) Endorses participation in the ICC. – so does Hillary.
2) Voted against the Bush tax cuts. – so did Hillary. ( McCain (only 2GOP / with Lincoln Chafee)….stated due to “tax cuts for the rich” typical liberal class warfare.
3) Wants Gitmo closed. – so does Hillary.
4) Demands an end to waterboarding. – so does Hillary.
5) Wants terrorists to have access to trial in America. – so does Hillary.
6) Wants America to be bound to a “Global Warming” agenda. – so does Hillary.
McCain supports Gore’s radical Global Warming approach
7) Wants amnesty, and authored and voted for McCain/Kennedy – so did Hillary.
Juan Hernandez in his campaign
8) Does not exclude known criminals and felons from amnesty. – neither does Hillary.
9) Does not believe that immigrants of any type should learn English. – Neither does Hillary.
10) has zero record on appointing judges. Neither does Hillary but they both did great damage to the process recently, John with the gang of .. how many? and Hillary with her voting record. Voted for Ruth Bader Ginsberg…
then also formed Gang 14 to prevent Bush’s appointments
11) John has a history of ill controlled temper – so does Hillary.
12) John opposes drilling in ANWAR – so does Hillary.
13) McCain – Feingold : against free political speech hurt GOP
14) Against Reagan’s Freedom Fighters in Nicaragua / El Salvador

Take out one or two fiscal issues and the man is closer to most dems than most dems are to each other!
There is still hope and there always will be. As long as conservatives never give up. I am talking about the Congress. This time around a number of senatorial seats, and House seats are coming up for election. If we can steer congress, we can get the judges we need.
The socialists think long term and will take half a loaf if they can get it, come back later and try to get a few more slices.
The SCOTUS will affect life for the next generation at least. Look for Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, maybe even Souter to retire after the elections, leaving the balance of the court subject to liberals.
Our job should be to get Representatives and Senators elected to stop that from happening. It’s taken them the better part of a century to fully envelop the democratic party. They now are making inroads into the Republican party. They are patient, determined and they want us on the run.
Bottom line, I am still hoping Romney can make it to November and I can vote for him. He has been moving to more conservative ideals and beliefs, and McCain well all he does is move further and further to the left. If not then I will concentrate on the other things I mentioned. There IS always hope this is America and we are a country of people that know the cost of our freedom and the lives lost and injured to make this the land of the FREE. IMO our POW’s from the Vietnam war and all the way back to WW11 are counting on us. Our burned, injured and handicapped Veterans from every war are counting on us. I will never turn my back on them.
God bless our country and thank God we live here where we can still speak out with our votes, and emails like we did with the TWO times Amnesty was attempted to be shoved upon us. I won’t and never will give up.
