No lol

Conservatives will rally around Ron Paul, the only conservative left standing in this race.

My comment:
''Yes, some brands of conservative will rally behind McCain -- like neo-conservatives & Marxist conservatives. Rule-of-law conservatives, peace-loving conservatives, free-thinking conservatives, and paleo-conservatives will NOT rally behind McCain's phony conservatism. McCain is a globalist Trojan horse. Conservatism is rooted in the Constitution, and McCain's roots are rotten.''

To Cafferty...

Real Conservaties will never ‘rally’ around McCain , although I expect the Republican Party at large will. When it comes down to it these people don’t have principle, they put party over everything. The real conservaties have already rallied — around Ron Paul. And will continue to do so.

My response:

I can only speak for myself, Jack. As a conservative who believes in small government, fewer taxes, and abiding by the Constitution - I will never, ever, ever vote for or in any way support John McCain. The very idea that he could be the Republican nominee, much less President, is terrifying.

Like I said, anyone who thinks McCain is a Conservative doesn't need to reproduce.

And anyone that thinks Mr "Less jobs and More wars" is going to beat a democrat, simply needs to be shot for utter stupidity

I’m a Republican, and I will never vote for McCain.

McCain can suck my left nut.

I wouldn't give him a dollar if I saw him homeless, on the side of the road, holding a Ron Paul 2008 sign made from a piece of cardboard.

How's that Jack?

Something like, "Ron Paul is still in the race" might be helpful.

I'm working under the premise (for now) that we need to slaugher (figuratively speaking, of course) McCain and not associate said attacks with Dr Paul so...I left the following:

As a 40-something, life-long Repubican I can tell you that a certain locale will freeze over before I cast a vote for McAmnesty. As the co-founder of Tennessee's anti-illegal immigration organization (www.TnRIP.org), I can say that Democrat in Republican clothing cost me several months of my life fighting his Amnesty bill and people here aren't likely to forget it any time soon! I'll go even further and say that, should he get the nomination, the RNC won't see another dime of my money until he's out of office and they prove to me that they learned their lesson!

True conservatives have already rallied around Ron Paul. Everyone else is just a poser.

My comment.


Rally around? No. Social and fiscal conservatives will be left out of this race sadly. As the general election moves closer, I see McCain speaking more and more to the center, irritating conservatives more and more because that’s the only way he can get elected. Come election day, the people that will vote for John McCain are the independents and the “Anybody but Hillary” crowd. Fiscal conservatives such as myself will abstain so that Democrats will have to be the ones to bring socialism to America and maybe we can rebuild the party post-McCain.

Jack,

I am sick and tired of hearing news personalities say that McCain is our only choice even though he is not ‘conservative.’ Rush, Hannity and others gripe that there is no one running who will defend our liberties, reduce taxes, cut spending, and get government out of our lives. They describe Ron Paul’s platform to a tee and even used direct quotes that have come from Dr. Paul. Yet they refuse to say his name and try to deceive Americans by indicating that Dr. Paul is not in this race anymore. Jack, I simply beg you to post this email so that America knows that McCain and Hillary/Obama are NOT our only choices. IF you do not want John McCain as our next president, you MUST vote Ron Paul.

Thank you,

Here's my reply:

Convervatives will not rally for McCain because he is not a conservative. All he wants is to stay in Iraq & go into Iran. He knows NOTHING about the economy. How does he plan to pay for these wars? Did he get some magic beans from a stranger?

P.S.
Can CNN hire a fact checker? I’m getting sick & tired of seeing stories that McCain & Huckabee are the only republican candidates left running since Romney dropped out. My little niece is qualified for the position, she can count to three.

Excellent posts!!!
So many so quickly... no matter how hard I try, I still cannot believe how blatantly the MSM is working to suppress the fact that Ron is still running!

Many noted how Rush, Hannity, etc seem to be quoting Ron's message verbatim, then lamenting that there's no choice but to settle for McCain... do you think this is all they CAN say w/o saying Ron Paul's name, else get 20 lashes from their master?
