I have just about had it with these holier-than-thou, self-righteous, self-proclaimed arbiters of who is and who is not a Republican/Conservative. Yeah, I'm talking about you Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Savage, etc., etc. I don't profess to be any kind of political genius, but even with my limited sense, I can't help but think that for all of your supposed knowledge, you people are a bunch of completely obnoxious, clueless idiots. You really hate John McCain, don't you? Fine. SUCK IT UP AND GET OVER IT. Coulter has said that she would actually prefer to have Hillary Clinton in the White House. Well, keep it up and you'll get your wish. Don't think that there is a difference between Hellary/Shrillary and McCain? How about on the Fairness Doctrine? How about on Iraq? How about on Health care? How about on tax cuts? The list goes on and on.
Honestly, I can't believe that these people are that stupid. EVERYTHING for which they supposedly stand is opposed by Clinton, and yet they would apparently rather see her in the White House than John McCain (who is still a long way away from sewing up the Republican nomination, but that's another story), and all because they didn't get THEIR chosen candidate as the nominee. Now, who that chosen nominee is varies from pundit to pundit, and from day to day. For one, it's Romney. For another, it is Huckabee. For still another, it was Fred Thompson. So now, they're throwing a collective temper tantrum, engaging in the political equivalent of threatening to hold their breath until they turn blue.
What's most offensive about this fit of pique is that for many, it is so hypocritical. Some supported Rudy Giuliani, until he dropped out on Wednesday and endorsed McCain. Now, all of a sudden, Rudy is a "RINO", a despicable acronym for "Republican In Name Only". That term is offensive and demeaning, as its users intend it to be. Well, to come full circle, who appointed YOU the arbiter of who is or is not a "true Republican"? Not me, nor anyone I know. The funny thing is, for all of your pontificating and bloviating, and for all of your "dittoheads" and the like who pander to you and tell you what you want to hear, the only people who seem to disagree with you are the actual primary voters. Imagine that, they have minds of their own! That must be very deflating to your incredibly large egos.
Here's my final word (for now) on this subject: For all of my disagreements with John McCain (immigration and Guantanamo Bay, just for starters), I acknowledge that he is the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton. As well, John McCain is a GREAT American, one who has contributed more and given up more for this country than all of the people I listed above. For them to denigrate him is despicable and base, and I am ashamed to be on the same side of the political fence as them.

Keep it up, BHG.
"You might like this, from Rachel Lucas:
Just what in the hell kind of crack are Ann Coulter and lots of other conservatives (even the normally brilliant Michelle Malkin) smoking when they say they won’t vote for him if he’s the Republican nominee? Coulter actually said last night on Hannity and Colmes that she would campaign for Hillary instead. Granted, she probably didn’t mean that, but good god damn!
I’ve read several dozen blogs yesterday and this morning, and there are even comments on my own blog, saying that if McCain is the candidate, they won’t vote at all. ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS?
Let me get this straight: you’d rather have Hillary Clinton, a bona fide socialist, liar, all-around bad person, as president. You’d rather have Obama, the senator with the most liberal voting record, as president.
Really? I throw up my hands in disgust. I truly do....
Don’t get excited. I don’t like a lot of his record, particularly a long list of quotes he’s given about class warfare and taxes. I think he’s nuts to want the Gitmo population put into American prisons. YEAH RIGHT. I think he’s an asshole for things he’s said and supported about gun shows.
And I don’t even have enough curse words in my brain to communicate my opinions about McCain-Feingold. Jesus on a muffin, that is some bad, bad stuff.
BUT.
Seriously, people. Seriously. You’d rather have Hillary? You’d rather have Obama?
I don’t even know you."
Take care!
What is the difference between Senator McCain and Senators Clinton and Obama on tax cuts? McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts not once but twice in 2001 and 2003. There is no difference here.
What is the difference between Senator McCain and Senators Clinton and Obama on "cap-and-trade"? Again, there is no difference.
There is a big difference on Iraq, though. McCain is right on this issue and wrong on nearly every other issue important to the "true conservative."
Hey Norman, voting against the tax cuts was the conservative thing to do. McCain didn't want to get on the borrow and spend train with the rest of the crowd. Don't you believe in paying as you go? There's nothing conservative about running up the national debt to finance discretionary spending while deliberately destroying your income stream. It's fiscal irresponsibility, and McCain was right to oppose it.
