DD2 makes a compelling argument here:
Some Conservatives amaze me in their lack of ability to see what’s really at stake here, to see the real big picture. . Is this election about John McCain’s personalty and his so called "Hot Head" and that he is too old, and his lack of Conservative principals? Even if McCain was 10 years younger
the people that find fault with him now would find something else be whining about.
How is handing the whole country over to a far left liberal like Barack Obama a suitable alternative to McCain? I wish someone would tell me that.
I think that Conservative are fighting the wrong enemy the republicans are not their enemy the liberals are.
There is a vast and serious difference between John McCain and a ultra liberal like Barack Obama or Hillary who is hellbent determined to bring down all your conservative values. Did you ever consider that? They have already told us that they want to put an end to conservative Talk Shows, you know that. They have the determination to stop Rush and Hannity any way they can and Sean Hannity has said so many times.
Obama, is as liberal as they come. They say that he is the number one Liberal in the Senate .
Obama is leading in the polls right now, not by much but he is leading. For the Conservatives to sit home or to foolishly vote for a 3rd party nut case candidate is simply wrong. If that happens and Obama wins, we lose, it as simple as that.
Bickering and insulting our own candidate is dumb, dumb, dumb. That’s the way Hillary and Obama did it and we all laughed at that. Bickering over it again isn’t going to help us but it’s going to hurt us. And if we aren’t careful, they will through this country into third worldism.
There is no such thing as a quick recovery from 4 years of radical liberalism We may be facing damage for 4-8-12 years or more to undo. What’s more, who’s to say that it will ever be undone? Staying home on election day allows liberals a Free pass to gain all branches of Government. Don’t our kids deserve better out of us.
I’m not asking anyone to sacrifice their own belief or convictions, but we have a serious problem here that requires that we do everything we can to minimize the damage this election can cause to our great country. The Conservatives are fighting a losing war by fighting with the Republicans
The Left achieved their goal by unity, maybe we can lean by that?
Like they say, I’d rather have 50% to 75% of McCain being Right, than 0% of Obama being Right. . Staying home on election day merely demonstrates that we’re not willing to fight
Give it some thought, friends.
'Not conservative enough'? I guess it's just not popular to be a Republican anymore!

A McCain Moment
Cross-posting from Is This Life?
Received this by e-mail from the Grand Old Partisan:
On this day in 1967, one hundred and thirty-four men died and sixty-two were wounded in a fire on an aircraft carrier, the USS Forrestal. Among the planes waited to take off, a missile misfired and hit another plane, sparking a massive inferno.
As bombs and fuel exploded, Lt. Commander John McCain jumped out of his own plane and ran toward the flames -- yes, toward the flames -- attempting to rescue another pilot. An exploding bomb then injured McCain in the chest and legs.
With his own ship out of commission, McCain volunteered for duty aboard the USS Oriskany. Three months later, he was shot down. He spent five and a half years in a communist prison, much of that time in solitary confinement.
Here is the video on YouTube.
Michael Zak is a popular speaker to Republican organizations around the country, showing office-holders, candidates and activists how they would benefit tremendously from appreciating the heritage of our Grand Old Party. Back to Basics for the Republican Party is his acclaimed history of the GOP from the Republican point of view. Each day, his Grand Old Partisan blog -- http://grandoldpartisan.typepad.com -- celebrates 154 years of Republican heroes and heroics. See www.republicanbasics.com for more information.

McCain's Race to Win or Lose
So says DD2 at "Our World As We See It:"
Obama, unsurprisingly, leads among liberals and Democrats, while McCain leads among conservatives and Republicans. Independents are nearly split, with 38 percent backing Obama and 35 percent backing McCain. Nearly one in 5 independents is undecided, and 33 percent of those who have chosen a candidate say they could change their mind.
It's John McCain 's Election To Win Or Lose.
Democratic nominee Barack Obama leads Republican counterpart John McCain 45 percent to 39 percent in the latest CBS News/New York Times poll of registered voters nationwide. The six percentage point spread is unchanged since June, when Obama led McCain 48 percent to 42 percent. But more than 1 in 10 voters now say they are undecided between the candidates - twice as many, percentage-wise, as last month
Ah, but, this is a CBS News/New York Times poll . So you know how much that really means!
So what’s the lesson here? If you want to believe a poll conducted by Crooks and Liars, than you can believe this one.
With all the news coverage for Obama and just about none for McCain and also every magazine cover with pictures and articles of Barry and Michelle the guy should be triple digits ahead of McCain. He's just barely ahead or a dead heat this tells you something!
The truly sad thing about this is that NY Times and CBS and the rest of the liberals would rather the US lose the war then to elect a Republican president.
