Transcript for those of you who can't watch vids on your 'puters:

"I will conduct a respectful debate. Now it will be dispirited, it will be spirited because there are stark differences. I am a proud conservative liberal Repub, uh-er conservative republican. Hello, easy there. Let me say this, I'm a proud conservative republican and both of my possible or likely opponents today are liberal democrats." ~~ John McCain

[Air Force Guy]

Diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.

[PrezLeefun]

Liberal... yep thats it.... keep going.

[Elgalad]

Parapraxis on parade. :roar:

Or as Sigmund Freud and Paul Simon might have put it (had they ever performed together)..

~!~!"Slip Sliding away.. Slip Sliding away..."
~!~!"You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away..."

He must be trying to lose. Or he is dumb enough to listen to his pal, Chris Matthews, and really believe him when he says that for every conservative vote McCain loses, he gains three in the "moderate suburbs".

I heard that on Fox News on my radio yesterday while driving home and nearly left the road because I was laughing and yelling at the radio so much...

Needless to say I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!!!

Its true... I had to come to work today totally ass-less... :unsmile:

He knows we already know that, he also knows the other choices are far worse ... so we have what bed we made for ourselves by not rallying behind someone early enough for it to matter. Everyone was too "something" to be a real conservative. Well now look what we have. If we all had worked a little harder maybe we would have had a better choice. Nothing we can do about it now though, it's either him or a guy brought up with Muslim teaching at a time war has been declared on us by their Mullas, and wants to socialize everything. With those choices he's in for sure.

:biglaugh:

I wonder what would have happened if he said this before his surge in the polls.

Wouldn't have mattered. Fred got in too late and he's the only one conservatives rallied behind. If we had started with Hunter or Tancredo from the beginning it might have made a difference. We screwed this up, now we are going to have to live with him or worse, because we know one of 3 people will be our next Prez. I would even be willing to say one of 2 people.

So they stayed home.

Agreed. They have done it with every candidate. Even the conservative media and writers were dissing Fred as not conservative enough. Tancredo and Hunter would also have been far better than what we whittled down to by deciding not to vote. I hope we don't stay on that path ... and maybe I will actually get to vote in my state at some point. :huh:

Amen, hallelujah and pass the ammunition! We have us a winner here! Might I also add the fact that while they didn't get the opportunity to vote they refused to send money; which was just as deadly!!

[jayson]

Now that is Straight Talk Express. Boy I have never agreed with him more than that very moment.

Sadly the deal is/was done before they got to my state (May 6th). I did send a letter to my state representative asking them to revisit the issue of our late primary date.

Anyway, my vote is going to Obama now. Four years of a liberal on their ticket beats four years of a liberal on ours.

I don't think any of the three of them are going to get us out of Iraq in the forseeable future - regardless of what campaign pledge they make.

It's just more complicated then that.

Same with health-care - you can say you're going to do all of this stuff when you become President, but getting it done is a whole other ballgame. Presidents dont write the legislation, neither do they get to vote for it.

If they don't pull them out it will be WORSE. That means they will cut their funding that gives them the equipment they need to do the job and survive. Then they will blame them for not getting the job done. http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/images/icons/Crying00.gif no no no, please lord don't let that happen. We did that with LBJ, it pains me no end how our military was abused during that time.

The democrats control everything else too, what would stop them?

C'mon now, your memory can't be that short....

The same things that stopped the Republicans from getting things done in 03-04 - when we had total control.

[Suzie]

Healthcare is a different monster altogether. I know my REPUBLICAN congress woman, the only republican we have here supports it. That one would sail thru with the help of some republicans in high poverty states who know they don't do well in their state without crossing party lines.

[Timberwolf]

Quite honestly, I think he just "got ahead of himself"...I've done it many times when engaged in public speaking.

[RogerFGay]

Words that hold no meaning are difficult to keep track of.

Sigmund Freud had a term for moments like this...

[Bluemoon_Rising]

Ooops!

[DoctorDoom]

He for whom no one wants to vote was selected by those who DID vote while those who decided that no candidate was conservative enough stayed home.

[TeenageRepublican]

So that was your ass that my mom ran over?!
