This one popped up in the comment section yesterday – but I figured it was worth asking here (although I know nobody will answer it).
For years, John McCain was the one Republican who could reach across the aisle. From Democrats across the spectrum – from relative moderates, like my Dad (who once said he could have brought himself to vote for Mac) to moderately-sane liberals – said that McCain was someone they could get behind. His American Conservative Union lifetime rating of just below seventy confirmed this: Mac’s correct stances on the budget and defense notwithstanding, he was no doctrinaire conservative.
And then, the moment he got nominated, he became “a radical conservative”.
Now, I understand that during the campaign the Tics will say whatever it takes; if the GOP had nominated Mother Teresa or Dennis Kucinich, they’d have called either of them “radical conservatives”, too.
But now that the campaign is over, you still see some of the left’s talkingpointbots repeating “McCain ran to the right! He became too conservative!” in an endless loop, like a piece of computer code with no exception handling.
So Democrats – how, exactly, did McCain “become to conservative”? And I’m talking policy statements, here – none of this “he picked Sarah Palin” BS, because he picked Palin to bolster his conservative support. Because he was lagging. Because he had not run to the right.
So anyway. ‘spain away.
This I gotta hear.
Thanks for answering the question.
Well Gee. Flash didn’t answer anything. I asked him twice “Now admit that you like to discriminate”, and all he ccould muster was a lame-ass joke calling me “Tommy boy”.
When I said liberals don’t debate, they lecture I meant it.
Flash proved it. *shakes head*
Swiftee-
I was thinking more like sashimi for pupus. Spam is great for breakfast only. At the local McDonalds you can get scrambled eggs, spam and sticky rice for a couple of bucks.
Down on the waterfront there is a restaurant called Coconut Grill. They serve a kalua pig sandwich topped with sweet BBQ sauce and coleslaw, fries on the side. Nothing on this planet has ever tasted as good.
I’ve answered ‘mitch’s’ questions which was the one that mattered, and was greet with goal post rolling, name calling and grenade tossing. I attempted to stay on topic as the mud continued to sling. All that is ever evident here is that the only debating that people want here is the one done by looking in the mirror.
Once you truly have a legitimate concern about the direction of this country, come back and talk to us, we’ll be the ones governing.

Fraud.
Flash, you most certainly were not on any ticket that won an office… however, if you can prove that you are Joe Biden (and I should bother trying, if I were you) we’ll want a moment of your Public Servant time.
“Your comments will not be added.” = Flush sticking his fingers in his ears loudly singing… “la la la la la not listenting to the truth la la la la…”
Stifling discussion and debate is a tactic of the Liberal Fascists. Way to go Flush.
“…a common sense fiscal conservative…”
So instead of voting for McCain, you vote for your Obamassiah to deliver $2 trillion to the debt in one year!!!
“Once you truly have a legitimate concern about the direction of this country,”
Wow!!! Obama increased the deficit from $480 billion to $2 trillion!!!!! Flush doesn’t think this is a legitimate concern. Yikes!
Lying to others is one thing, Flush, but lying to yourself is pathetic. You deserve some pity.
In your heart you know I am right.
