McCain's Kool Aid
 

If you are politically conservative, likely Republican nominee John McCain wants to offer you some Kool Aid.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain - you know, the wizard who partnered with Ted Kennedy to make "open borders" official policy. This was bipartisanship at its best: more cheap labor for Republicans to exploit, and more poor people for Democrats to woo with feigned compassion.

Don't give it much thought, just drink the Kool Aid, and be happy.

Forget about the Bill to Undermine the First Amendment, aka McCain-Feingold. Have some more Kool Aid, lest you begin to think of "bipartisanship" as something less than a panacea for our every malaise.

If it weren't for Kool Aid, we the people might venture outside the box and come up with something radical and dangerous....like tripartisanship. Then things might really get out of hand and we'd find our brains, our hearts, and our courage.

And our blessed two-party system would melt.

Perish the thought. Liberals - drink! Conservatives - drink!

Donkeys and elephants (or is it sharks and jellyfish?) forever!

I was accused of crazy talk earlier. Now the notion of suicide voters is getting national attention.

A suicide voter is a conservative who plans to vote for a Democrat for president if McCain is the Republican nominee.

Those that have been around here long how i feel about third parties.

I am seriously considering voting for the constitution party candidate.

Re: McCain's Kool Aid
 

I'd vote for Obama before McCain.

So, I guess that makes me a suicide voter ... though I'm a registered Indie voter.

These issues are probably why the Libretarian party is one of the fastest growing parties in the U.S. I tend to agree with them on a lot of issues, especially economic ones.

How does "President Obama" sound to you?

McCain is 1,000 times more conservative on his most liberal day than Hillary or Obama are on their most conservative day.

Check the facts. The ACU gives McCain an 82.3 rating and Hillary a 9. That's an 82% conservative voting record versus her 9%. Obama is barely better than her.

You guys are nuts if you think voting third party or sitting it out or voting for a Democrat is better for our country and party. You just don't get it.

You make it sound so simple. Yes, we "get it." This is going to be a very tough choice. Not for what is on the face of it, but for the long term ramifications and variety of unintended consequences.

This could deal an existential blow to the Republican party. But if the Republican party were split properly, a third party could emerge to win over conservative Democrats and craft a majority.

The bolded is, first, completely off, and secondly, you're no Ann Coulter. Resorting to petty name-calling does nothing but justify the accusations that conservatives are mean-spirited, bitter and lack the ability to converse in a healthy debate without resorting back to kindergarten behavior.

Neither Clinton nor Obama is gay, so the first part is ignorantly wrong. And I don't believe, while they are pro-choice, either are "baby killers."

Also, voting Dem doesn't mean you've thrown your morals away, though the morale of conservatives would be weakened with a Democratic, or even a McCain presidency.

But whatever makes you feel better ...
