John McCain lost this election before it began.  He caters to all the wrong people and has been part of the problem for years!  We nominated the wrong guy this time around and all due to backroom backstabbing and political menuevering.  George W. Bush just helped him lose because of his policies lately...People are fed up and voting for any change regardless of whether it's defined or just the imaginary kind!

Hell, I'd have probably voted for Huckabee or Romney instead of McCain....I'm writing in my own name or my dog Harley for President and trying to get rid of John Kerry!

Before you condemn the "Blue blood Republicans" you might want to think about Teddy Roosevelts roots.

The same as Dewey, Nixon, and Ford.

I've never even considered McCain to be conservative. He's more like the "Blue Blood Republicans" of old. If the dems weren't controlled by the new version of the National Socialist, I'd vote for them before the Blue Bloods. As it is, my choices are bad and worse. Yes, I'm well aware of the Libertarian option, but, they can't get enough votes to control a city council, much less the congress or the country.

I think this is where I am too.  We conservatives were taken horrible advantage of and treated like red-headed step children by GW Bush.  I remember who he had write the DC vs. Heller opinion, his stand on southern border invaders and other such nonsense.

Don't do that, to vote anything other than Republican is a vote for that Bastard from Ill. (technical term for illegitimate child)
Why would you ever want to get rid of Kerry ? He did such a wonderful job David Lee Roth wrote a song about him.

"Just a gigolo, and every where I go, people know the part I'm playing..."

The same as Dewey, Nixon, and Ford.

I'm not sure what you mean. Dewey lost, Nixon did OK,He actually kept his campaign promises ,in fact we could use that sort of campaigning now, (except the getting caught part ;D ) that's what the socialists are doing, Ford was a good President, He managed a potentially dangerous situation (Nixon ) in a manner that maintained National calm, when it COULD have led to fighting in the streets.
Dewey may have come from an affluent family, (I don't remember) but "Tricky Dick", and Ford were both from working class families.
One thing I have never been able to figure out, Why did women hate Ford so much ?

Tom, all due respect!  My dog Harley IS more of a republican than John McCain and secondly as your aware because you live just north of me, the republican party in Massachusetts is non-existant and no matter how I vote, BHO will get all 12 electoral votes in MA and all of them in Vermont, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island!  New Hampshire is a toss up!

I personally know five republicans/conservatives in MA.  Myself, my wife, my daughter, her boyfriend and my dog Harley, who according to Acorn is more than eligible to vote!  He's never registered, he doesn't speak the language and is more than willing to sponge off of his family for sustenance!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Please don't get me started on Kerry or Kennedy, I don't have ability to keep my temper in check!!! >:(

I've refused to even GO to that state since I passed through in 2000 on my way back from Ca. only reason I did then was I could not find a bus that went through Vt.
We MUST kill these communist bastards in the election or we will have to kill them in the streets like in 1776, or kiss OUR country good bye .

We need to be careful with stuff like this. We need to make sure that we are not giving ammunition to the enemy. MB's Blog has already been sited by the media (Yahoo News) with regards to Presidential politics, and it might happen again.

http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?topic=3204.0

We need to be mindful that there are varmints lurking around this site looking for evidence that gun owners and conservatives have thrown McCain/Palin overboard..... we just need to make sure that we dont add any fuel to the fire, and think about how things we say might look when taken out of context.

Good reminder!

It is easy to forget that we are not alone. I get busy bantering, teasing, joking and blowing off steam and forget we are not sitting at the bar together.  I almost always look at the top of a thread to see who's there.  There are times I am the only one, or there are a few of us, but it is rare that you do not see some guests lurking.  I also check the upcoming birthday list, and it amazes me how few names I recognize.  Then I check them out and find that many are one time posters and sometimes have never posted.

We are not alone!

I agree totally with the part that starts with "If the dems".  For the past 20 years or so, I have been either not voting for President or voting for the lesser of two bad choices.  This election turns out to be the same.  McCains perfromance and proposals are lame.  If Obama wasn't so scary in what he represents and the danger he poses to the country, I might have considered him.  I voted against Clinton, Gore and Kerry.  Now I'll vote Palin/McCain.  After this election, I'll probably change from Democrat to Independent.  Libertarians don't like what they have to say.

What I posted falls under the opening paragraphs of the declaration of Independence, and is backed by the historical facts that socialist take overs of formerly free societies are always accompanied by violence, generally started by the socialists and not answered by the anti communists until to late to do any good as one example look at the so called "Russian Revolution" of October 1917, the Czar had abdicated in MARCH, what was over thrown in October was representative govt. The Bolsheviks did not overthrow the Czar, they overthrew the other parties.
