Comments on: In letter to Limbaugh, Bob Dole defends McCain http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/04/in-letter-to-limbaugh-bob-dole-defends-mccain/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Cynthia http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/04/in-letter-to-limbaugh-bob-dole-defends-mccain/#comment-480733 Cynthia Thu, 07 Feb 2008 07:35:28 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=5022#comment-480733 I am not a conservative, and I never listen to the rancorous, divisive conservative talk radio programs. As a Republican I admired Bob Dole in the Senate, and supported his candidacies. To a lesser extent, I respected John McCain the last time he ran. HOWEVER, my full support is behind MITT ROMNEY. Romney is far and away the most qualified candidate for president, conservative or liberal. I probably could have supported McCain if he were all the party had to offer. But when a candidate with Romney's strengths comes forward, and the party power-brokers instead turn to the good old boy McCain, it's time to get out of bed. The stink of religious bigotry would be enough, though the stench of the old-boy RNC network is probably behind most of it. Self-preservation supercedes service to our nation. In my own case at least it will turn against them in the end if McCain ends up the nominee. I am looking at the only other candidate with any semblance of personal virtue remaining in the race-- Obama. In my view, Romney probably miscalculated when he decided to try to stand in for Reagan. He has the potential to be all and more than Reagan, and maybe next time he goes for it, he will have found that out. He's an incredible person with enormous capacity. Reagan was right for his time, but he is not what we need now. Romney is Romney, and with the nation facing challenges that exceed those which Reagan faced, Romney, given the chance, will rise even higher than Reagan. That is, if Americans can handle electing someone above the least common denominator. Maybe by then, after a few years of Billary or McClinton, we will know how to appreciate him. God bless America to survive long enough to have that chance. I am not a conservative, and I never listen to the rancorous, divisive conservative talk radio programs.

Dole was the party leaders favorite who was next in line for the nomination. McCain is hardly the party leaders favorite. The fact that Limbaugh dislikes McCain will only help him in the general election. And do you really think some of the "phony" conservatives will vote for Hillary or Obama? McCain is a real conservative who not only talks the talk, but is willing to break with his party to walk the walk. How can this administration consider itself conservative with how much it has increased the size of government? I don't understand all these comparisons of McCain and Dole.

It became old and banal very quickly. HIs program is repetitive nonsense, and he is extremely arrogant. I can usually spot a fake and Rush has it written all over him. I am conservative and a Republican and I am very concerned about this country and the direction it is going. I do have enough common sense to think critically and not allow an arrogant, pathetic little man sitting behind a microphone to dictate what is best for me, my country and everyone else living here. He is obviously pro-Romney and cannot live with the fact that people are not buying into his endorsement and supporting Romney. Romney reminds me a lot of Robert McNamara of the Vietnam era, a brilliant CEO with little common sense in international affairs. He is more fake than LImbaugh. I have gained a lot of respect for McCain because of all this. He does not need Limbaugh or any of the other radio talk show hosts, and they are furious because of it.

Why do these sham artists hate McCain so much? Because they are nothing but Republican attack dogs, on the leash of Bush and Cheney, ready to attack anyone who challenges the dictatorial presidential regime. They are not conservatives, but are rather like czarist secret police, ready to attack and discredit anyone who questions their masters. McCain has made it clear that he has no use for these frauds, and they would have no place in his administration. They sense that they are losing their position of influence, and are desperate to hold on to their power. Romney is a fraud conservative as well, having only adopted a conservative philosophy when he decided to run for president, having been a liberal before (in order to win election in a liberal state). Romney would do or say anything to win the presidency. So why don't these sham conservatives see through his charade? Because in a Romney administration, these radio frauds would be secure in their positions as attack dogs, ready at any moment to attack the rivals of their master, because Romney has no sense of ethics or decency and would use these frauds to continue the Imperial presidency started by Bush and Cheney.

Amazing. No difference between McCain and Hillary huh? Anybody seen his record on defense? Funny how nobody talks about that. Let me refresh. McCain was SCREAMING for a surge the minute that bush walked off the carrier. He was ignored. So, when his plan is finally enacted, we see success in Iraq. He was supporting the surge when the other republicans (including Romney) took a "wait and see" attitude and Hedged their bets (hence the "private timetable" comment by Romney). McCain said "I'd rather lose and election then lose a war". His poll numbers went down, but he continued to support the surge. As far as him being a conservative, he has an 82% conservative rating. Look at his entire record. He has been endorsed by a multitiude of conservatives including Phil Graham and Jack Kemp. Remember Ronald Reagan: Was pro choice as Governor of California and changed when he ran for President in 76. Raised taxes as Gov. of California (look it up) Supported Amnesty. I guess by your standards Ronald Reagan wasn't conservative enough. Oh...Fred Thompson was a strong supporter of McCain Fiengold. Never hear people tallking about that. Wow. Amazing.

McCain is unabashedly "middle of the road", meaning that he's not at all conservative. His recent record proves this. Romney says he's conservative, but you just have to look at his record to see the truth there. Huckabee doesn't have a chance, since he's not blessed by the R leadership and doesn't have near the money of McCain or Romney. Ron Paul has the money, but his head-in-the-sand approach to foreign relations sours him. So, who's left? I wish I had a say in the primaries, but I'm from Pennsylvania (the 5th largest state by electoral college votes) which votes so late that the candidates will already be chosen. I cannot support McCain, Romney, or Paul. There's very little chance that Huckabee will be nominated, and I won't vote for either Hillary or Obama. I guess that leaves me to "waste" my vote in November... I guess the Constitution party will be getting my pick unless a miracle happens. Sorry Bob Dole, but you're way off base with McCain. He's not the person you knew in the Senate! The Republican party is very disappointing this time around.

The federal government is on many levels a criminal enterprise and when they rip off a large portion of paycheck every week it makes me what is puke.

Why? I cannot imagine. McCain is at least as conservative. If Rush and others wanted a conservative candidate they would have spent this energy in promoting the candidacy of Duncan Hunter (the one true conservative). Rush ignored him. His "sour grapes" didn't keep me from voting for John McCain! It is clear that Rush has been a supporter of Romney from the beginning. Why? I cannot imagine. McCain is at least as conservative.

McCain did not show up to vote 251 times out of 446 votes in the last session. 251 times!!! Of the 195 times he did show up, he only voted with the Republican party 171 times. That's only a 38% conservative voting record in my book. The "white lie" about McCain's record is that his 87.7% voting record is from 171 votes out of the 195 he SHOWED UP for. They don't count the 251 missed votes. Very sneaky, John. Very dishonest, John. Mr Dole: You need to review McCains voting record.

For him to try to convince anyone of John "Left Wing Express" McCain's supposed conservative credentials is laughable, at best; treasonous at worst.

I'm constanly amazed by the number of people that have a strong dislike of Rush, whom never listen to his show. Rush and other conservative TV/Radio hosts are refusing to support bogus republicam candidates whom do not share their core beliefs. It's that simple! Repulican presidential candidates will not be supported strictly for party reasons. The drive-by media can not grasp this concept.
