Re: What James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh and the WPF A
In the immortal words of Wofford...
Dumb thread. McCain is a liberal democrat in republican sheep clothing. He is only turning right to get elected, and then will go back to his "centrist" and liberal ways.
So, Deacon, no dice here. McCain is a hothead who doesn't need a trigger.

I'm not sure I'd be as radical about this as Rush is, but I can see his frustration.
McCain has acted like a Democrat and compromised with them so many times before, why should we believe he'll act any different if he took office as President?

Well, we know for a FACT that Obama and Hillary are not only going to act like Democrats---THEY ARE! And the most liberal of the kind at that. McCain at worst is only agreeing with them 17.8% of the time! DO YOU GUYS NOT GET THESE PERCENTAGES?
In Las Vegas, someone gives you 80/20 odds, you would bet the farm practically. If the doctor said you have a very rare form of cancer and it is very dangerous but you had an 80% chance to live---you would rejoice. If you pastored a church of 20 and 80 people showed up---you would declare you were having a revival. If you got an 80% raise---you would click your heels all the way home.
But a President who agrees with you 80% of the time? NAH WE CANT HAVE THAT!

OK...
Go ahead and elect the democrat candidate of your choice. Just who would you prefer, Hillary or Osama?

Sooooo, we would rather see Obama or Hillary get elected? I don't get it.

Re: What James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh and the WPF A
Classic, rather than applaud for standing for his conviction, you would rather rationalize him as the opposite.
I am not voting for a president to vote against somebody else, which is the choice you are saying I should take. I am desiring to be able to vote FOR someone who I can find acceptable.
Choice A.... Fred Thompson. He drops out. So......
Choice B.... Mitt Romney. Yes. Kicking and screaming because he is a Mormon and not as conservative as I would like, and has changed his position (with good explanation, thankfully) on some things important to me, but..... With great angst, I would vote for him. If he gets out...............
Choice C... Vote third party if there is somebody worth voting for, knowing they don't have a chance to make it. If no Choice C, or choice C drops out............
Don't vote at all, because I cannot condone any of the other candidates with my vote, so I will just have to remain out of the voter's box and wait hopefully for the next go around.

Dumb quote.
May his/her immortal words experience the same fate as scattered snow on a hot day.
This is a brilliant thread with many worthwhile observations...irrefutable observations worth careful contemplation.

Re: What James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh and the WPF A
It's a tough call in my book. Not a McCain fan but it seems wrong to just allow the Dems to win because all the good conservatives boycott voting in Nov.
Not sure how I'll handle it but I've always felt my vote was my right as an American and not voting is a poor choice.

I can't believe this rationale nor can I understand it in the least. This attitude among conservatives is a vote for Obama or Hillary. I hope that there will be enough rational voters to prevent that horrible outcome.
This desperate time in our national life is no time for deserters to shirk when every man/woman is needed at their post of duty though they may disagree with them 17% of the time. To expect someone to be 100% to their approval is unrealistic.

You don't get it.
We are at war. THAT is the issue here. Four to eight years of Obama/Hillary defunding the military, defunding the intelligence community, of pulling out of the Middle East, of abdicating our sovereignty to the UN. We can't afford to "sit it out" because our guy isn't a party line guy. That is stupid. You go ahead and wait four to eight years of the Dems running the show and tell me you were glad they were in the White House and not McCain. I'll bet lots of money you will admit you were wrong.
Sometimes it takes a child abduction to get Amber's Law? Ask Amber's parents.
Really flawed logic. Really, really flawed.
