Does Bill have any softballs left over from his Hillary interview?

McCain doesn't read Huffpo. That has to be worth a couple votes.

Comes off very upbeat and likable...
I was disappointed in Dole's deadpan appearance and demeanor, so hey, things are looking up this time!

re: #9 HelloDare

Does Bill have any softballs left over from his Hillary interview?

Nope, O'Reilly gave them to Chris Wallace for his interview with the Obamessiah last Sunday.

I just watched the clips of John McCain on the Daily show. He was really pandering to the left here. I was not impressed at all. A real conservative would not have done what did. He quoted Chairman Mao for a freaking Proverb and said asked any one if they remembered the quote. I'm not sure if he was playing around with the audience because he believes they are leftists or if he was serious. Overall, he was doing some serious pandering.

The Liberal World

In “The Liberal World” there are no rules,
So none can ever be broken.
Only tradition and custom draped over those fools,
Under which hateful words are spoken.
Gleefully free from accountability,
Living in the realm of whim.
Built on the dead body of Liberty,
Lavishly adorning sin!
The reasons are dual to vote for a RINO or a Dem.
A believer true in slavery...
For all but them.
Or
They don’t know in whose bed they lay
Hypnotized for seduction,
The totalist fangs dug deep.
Infecting their minds with delusional
“BLEEP”
Sowing the seeds of destruction.
And killing the mind of Man.

The Liberal World

Kudos to Rush Limbaugh for the first two lines

Can an O'Reilly be fair to a McCain?

What's McCain's middle name, and why doesn't anybody use it, what is he trying to hide? Sidney? Oh, I see, never mind.

I'm watching Planet of the Apes.

His views on the world's petrol economy don't impress me.

He's been forceful speaking extemporaneously.
That's refreshing to hear.
Makes me want to hear more of him in that mode.

re: #13 Egfrow

The Great One, Mark Levin, just played a few cuts of him on John Leibowitz's, I mean John Stewart's show, then hammered McCain big-time for his pandering.

I must say, I disagree with McCain on many issues, but I appreciate his sincerity and his energy. He's always very upbeat, which is more than can be said for the Obamanator who always seems to think he has to emote the "pain" he perceives in this country.

Yep, his fuel crisis solution wasn't.

His understanding of the health care economy is much better.

Ninety percent of the political news has been focused on Hillary and Obama, with McCain getting little coverage. Once the Democrats choose a candidate we can be assured that the media will dedicate more coverage to McCain, it will all be negative coverage of course because when was the last we saw balanced coverage of a Republican candidate? The 2004 election was a joke because even the blind, deaf and dumb could see the blatant media bias toward Kerry. Expect more of the same come September. I am proud of Charles and the LGF for the role we played in exposing the CBS 60 minute October surprise for the Bush campaign, may we continue to serve our country well!

i think mccain will win, even tho the msm will shill for osama until late on election night, telling lies abt. it's too close to call, when osama, in fact, will be as far behind as jimmy carter ever was, when reagan trounced him soundly. pollsters are devious.

Saw him *live* in a town hall meeting yesterday. He repeats himself A LOT, even with a teleprompter. For the first ten minutes of his speech, I wasn't sure what the hell he was talking about. Sex slaves, internet smut, slavery, national guilt.... Oy!

He did MUCH better when discussing national security issues, then lost me again by ranting about greenhouse gases, global warming, CAFE standards.....

The real deal killer was when he bragged about working well with Teddy *the swimmer* Kennedy. GACK!

McCain isn't afraid to go head to head with O'Reilly, but Obama is afraid he will lose control of his bowels on the set.

John, "poserCon" McCain. He agrees with you, but won't do shit about it. Hey John, instead of "giving" me 5000 bucks to get my own health care, how about you don't take it from me in the first place?

McCain admitted that the American people want the border controlled and they are angry. So I think he might be more interested in making a showing on that issue, since Obama obviously isn't interested in border control.

Unbelievable. We can build nuclear powerplants as quickly as we are willing to build. Nuclear energy is expensive only when rabid antinuclear activists shut down a plant long before its amortized cost has been depreciated.

McCain still doesn't get it on immigration. He still believes that legalizing and making citizens out of millions of law violators will put an end to illegal immigration. It didn't in 1986 and won't today. Having worked as a Border Patrol agent during the 1986 amnesty, I can assure you the citizens of this country took it in the shorts. We are still legalizing people under the 1986 act due to activist judges in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The amnesty along with temporary protected status still granted to El Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Guatemalans for earth quakes and hurricanes that happened in past decades is still haunting us today. We are about to allow more central Americans in under expanded programs.

We are losing our uniquely American heritage because of the mistaken belief that uncontrolled immigration is a good thing.

McCain still doesn't get it on immigration. He still believes that legalizing and making citizens out of millions of law violators will put an end to illegal immigration. It didn't in 1986 and won't today. Having worked as a Border Patrol agent during the 1986 amnesty, I can assure you the citizens of this country took it in the shorts. We are still legalizing people under the 1986 act due to activist judges in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The amnesty along with temporary protected status still granted to El Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Guatemalans for earth quakes and hurricanes that happened in past decades is still haunting us today. We are about to allow more central Americans in under expanded programs.

We are losing our uniquely American heritage because of the mistaken belief that uncontrolled immigration is a good thing.

Well yes, Illegal immigration is a good thing if you are looking to staff a chicken processing plant with good, cheap labor. All you have to do is hire management and supervisors that speak Spanish. Construction companies are in love with them too. Americans will do this kind of work, Many American companies just don't want to pay what Americans are demanding to support themselves.....

I forgot to mention that I will vote for McCain, not because he is the best. It's that he is the lesser of three evils.

For too long the Republican party has supported leftists who fail the party when it counts. The party leadership routinely supports the likes of Olympia Snowe instead of real conservatives and we get more socialist legislation passed every year.

I believe that the Republican party will spend another decade in the wilderness and the country will suffer for it. But I do not believe that all is lost, that we cannot succeed. When we finally get to the point that we no longer accept the Olympia Snowes, and we push solid conservatives into the real leadership positions we will win.

The conservative message, properly presented with fact and reason wins every argument with the left.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

How about a mile deep well-fenced no-drilling wildlife sanctuary along the length of the U.S.-Mexico border, with lots of cougars, grizzlies, rattlesnakes, alligators, etc. This would solve the border security issue and still be palatable to moonbats, tree-huggers, dems and maybe even McCain.

re: #128 LoFlyer

LF,

You are correct. My first 13 years in the patrol were spent in San Diego County. The housing boom was in full swing and the building contractors, looking for cheap labor, were dumping long time citizens for Mexicans who would work for 5-7 dollars an hour. Not having to pay the going rate of 20-25 dollars per hour made many of them very rich indeed.

After the amnesty of 1986, the same contractors were hit with strikes from their new laborers who now wanted 25-30 dollars and hour. Guess who was called to help then? The Border Patrol. We generally didn't respond, even when these same laborers began to destroy houses they were working on in protest of not getting their way.

It's not like we couldn't find plenty of new arrestees every day. They were pouring across the border hourly and the Mayor and all of the Democrats were very happy.

re: #142 Bob in Breckenridge

I was just in AZ, and they're not liking the fact that the borders are a sieve, to say nothing of the fact that the border control is taking place other than at the border.

What can McCain accomplish that is conservative with Pelosi and company in charge? Nothing.

Are there any Alaskan Lizards? I'd love to get their input. Wanna bet what percentage of Alaska residents are in favor of drilling in ANWAR? Can you say JOBS?

I've been an Alaskan resident for 40 years, and I don't personally know anyone up here who is opposed to drilling ANWR. Doing so would be nowhere near the big 'loss of pristine virginity' that the Greenies make it out to be. If you ever worked up on the North Slope you'd see what I mean. There's a virtual ARMY of private, State and Federal inspectors working up there who watch your every move. Just taking a leak out on the tundra, or feeding any wildlife, will cost you your job, etc. etc. There's literally thousands of strict rules to follow, regarding keeping the environment clean and pure.

The extremely tiny footprint of projected construction on ANWR would cause almost zero impact on the environment. This made-up flap isn't about the environment, it's about shutting down the USA by restricting the country from using it's own natural resources.

The funny thing is that Reagan, Bush Sr., and Dubya were not the perfect conservatives people make them out to be. Reagan gave Amnesty to 3 million illegals and his record against militant Islam sucked. He pulled the Marines out of Lebanon after the barracks bombing and gave arms to the Iranians to get Hizballah to release hostages. Bush Sr. promised not to raise taxes and did. Dubya, well, swinging swords with Saudis, not good on illegal immigration, spends money like a drunken sailor.

Cost me 60 bucks after I sent in my valid insurance card. I resent safety "check points" and governments that regard me as free and involuntary source of easy revenue at little expense....

I think Conservatives dislike McCain because he appears to go out of his way to screw them.

Reagan's greatest failing was not taking the 83 barracks bombing seriously enough and prosecuting a war against Hizbullah and its terror masters in Tehran. Bush 41 lied about taxes (and made a muddle of the ME peace conference). Bush 43 has gotten tired of trying to defend the Bush Doctrine after 9/11.

McCain's failings are far more destructive - he made it his quest to destroy and undermine the 1st Amendment, followed by open borders, and then back-door dealing on judicial picks with the Gang of 14 instead of holding the line to get all of Bush appointees before the Senate to be heard.

More bs from a deluded obamite, proclaiming that it takes 20 years to build a nuclear plant and besides its the most expensive energy solution out there.

Unbelievable. We can build nuclear powerplants as quickly as we are willing to build. Nuclear energy is expensive only when rabid antinuclear activists shut down a plant long before its amortized cost has been depreciated.

That's all we get from that side. We are the new, you are the old.

Actually, they are the socialists.

Or when the enviromnentalists sue for 20 years, meaning the company has to pay interest on the money to build the plant long before they can actually build it.
The environmentalists should have to pay back what they cost the company.

Five years ago, I hit a road block and could not find my insurance card. First of all, I had not committed a crime, my car was insured. I produced some expired insurance cards but could not find the current one. The trooper explained he would of given me a warning but the local county wasn't giving him any slack in the matter. Cost me 60 bucks after I sent in my valid insurance card. I resent safety "check points" and governments that regard me as free and involuntary source of easy revenue at little expense....

Then I guess you'll obey the law from now on, which in most places is phrased something like: "Shall carry proof of valid insurance..."

I hear you, but I think the lady doth protest too much.

re: #196 Killian Bundy

Vote McCain for the sake of Israel, if for nothing else. Israel's enemies are praying for an Obama victory and preparing a coordinated "from the river to the sea" attack after the inauguration, I can smell it.

/because they all know Obama won't lift a finger to defend or provide material support to Israel, there's a good reason Hamas endorses him

Vote McCain because he's good for America. The Israel angle, while true (he is good for Israel), only plays into the hands of David Duke/Walt and Mearsheimer types.

BTW, if Israelis could vote in this election, 73% would pull the lever for McCain, IIRC.

re: #191 really grumpy big dog Johnson

If McCain isn't conservative enough for some of you, I'd expect many more complaints about Obama and Hillary that McCain.

You want somebody conservative like YOU? I say that if you use that argument that you won't vote for McCain and post endlessly about it here, you are a duplicitous asshole that wants to see our country run into the ground.

I know who you'll vote for.

I think you misunderstand some of us. It feels good to blow off steam and vent about the shortcomings of the candidate, but here's the bottom line as I see it:

I love Grandpa Cracker more than any other human being on this planet, and I disagree with him at least once a day. Or, to borrow a line from our GOP gubernatorial candidate last year, Dick DeVos, if you and I agree on everything, one of us is not necessary.

Are you kidding? They can't even consistently elect pro-Israel leaders in their own country!

re: #207 Kreuzueber Halbmond

I'll piss in them. The GOP has been hijacked by socialists posing as "compassionate conservatives". Voting for McCain and getting him elected is not going to accomplish a thing except slow down the inevitable advance toward a full-blown socialist America. Government bureaucracy and meddling in citizens' lives will increase, regardless of which party holds the majority. Conservatives may vote for McCain, but they sure as hell don't have to like it.

Agreed, but since you're voting for McCain after all, don't you think that this is a delicate time to go lobbing bombs? First elect him. *Then* beat him into shape. He needs our support to get elected, and that's what he's going to get from me.

McCain has my vote.

The real question is who are the Republicans that selected this man as their nominee? He seems willing to endlessly compromise in order to become President, so the question is ego trip or national interest?

Th real harm to the country is Obama as the nominee and presumptive President. Other countries will not trust such an administration or attempt to get over on it due to his inexperience and the weakness he has shown in comparison with Clinton.

I have no doubt Israel will decide to bomb the nuclear facilities in Iran now, given Obama's likely election.

McCain has got to win in November.

Can anyone imagine what life would be like under the Demcrats?

I'm looking at other countries just in case.

re: #190 LoFlyer

I got pulled over for speeding one day (i know speeding is against the law but ....) The cop gave me a ticket for over $100 dollars and told me to have a nice day. As he was about to walk away I said
"You know I am a small business owner in this county and the manager I had at my shop just stole over $1,000 dollars from me. I called the police and after some investigating told me they couldn't do anything because there was no paper trail and I couldn't prove she did it intentionally."

The cop just stood there and I drove away. I don't think he understood what I was trying to say, but it made me feel better. My husband and I have had two vehicles stolen from our FRONT YARD, our shed broken into, the neighbor's dog was poisoned and the police don't give a crap. But go a few miles over the speed limit and they chase you down, flash lights at you and take your money.

Doesn't seem right.

re: #214 JamesTKirk

My decision is made. If you assume that I am lying, then you are merely being insulting.

You say you won't vote for McCain, and yet you won't lobby even more against Obama and Hillary. I'm not stupid, that tells me everything I need to know. Why don't you just give up if you are so unhappy? If you believe that conservative ideological purity wins presidential elections in a norman election year, you're certifiable.

The last road block I hit was 0900 on Saturday morning. How many drunks got caught in the road block. None. How many generally law abiding citizens were pulled over to the side of the road, at least five cars. And yes I had my documentation correct!

re: #210 lawhawk

I think Conservatives dislike McCain because he appears to go out of his way to screw them.

Reagan's greatest failing was not taking the 83 barracks bombing seriously enough and prosecuting a war against Hizbullah and its terror masters in Tehran. Bush 41 lied about taxes (and made a muddle of the ME peace conference). Bush 43 has gotten tired of trying to defend the Bush Doctrine after 9/11.

McCain's failings are far more destructive - he made it his quest to destroy and undermine the 1st Amendment, followed by open borders, and then back-door dealing on judicial picks with the Gang of 14 instead of holding the line to get all of Bush appointees before the Senate to be heard.

I disagree that McCain has been any more destructive than the other three. McCain-Feingold is minor in comparison to arms-for-hostages and to say it "destroys" the first amendment is pure melodrama (although it wasn't a good act). McCain has promised to toe the line on reconstructionist judicial picks, mentioning Roberts and Scalia. McCain hasn't supported open borders any more that Bush Jr., whose immigration policy was disliked by Conservatives IIRC. The failure of our borders cannot be ascribed to any one President or individual. Clinton did nothing, Bush Sr. did nothing, and Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegals instead of sealing the border. McCain supports the fence and a sealed border. That's a good start.

re: #202 sojerofgod

Convince me Obama would even try such a thing; convince me that the current SCOTUS would uphold such a thing, even after Obama replaces a few Judges. Nice scare tactic but it doesn’t fly with me. They will undoubtedly do all kinds of stupid things like raise taxes during an economic slowdown, you don’t have to predict Armageddon to make the point of how bad they can be. What you have to do is convince me McCain won’t hold hands with Kennedy, Feingold and the rest and bipartisan us into oblivion.

OT, but what does JAFLAW mean?

Anyone have a 401(K)? Any idea what it's going to look like after Obama doubles the capital gains rate?

/oh, and you might want to take a look at Chairman Charlie's $1 trillion tax plan, you know, the one Obama won't veto

re: #238 Globular Cluster

Where in the first amendment does it talk about restrictions of political speech? It doesn't. In fact, the whole point of the first amendment was to protect political speech -the very kind of speech that McCain Feingold (and yes, passed by Congress and signed into law by Bush) cuts short in the name of campaign finance reform.

The money is still there - it's just getting spread around differently - and the influence is still there - just done differently. But the ability to run political speech at a critical time in the political cycle is cut short because McCain was spiteful.

re: #233 really grumpy big dog Johnson

You say you won't vote for McCain, and yet you won't lobby even more against Obama and Hillary.

Then you aren't paying attention. See the words "McCain on O'Reilly" at the top of the page? That means that this is a McCain thread. (This isn't rocket science.) Feel free to consult Clinton or Obama threads to see people venting dissatisfaction on them.

I'm not stupid, that tells me everything I need to know. Why don't you just give up if you are so unhappy? If you believe that conservative ideological purity wins presidential elections in a norman election year, you're certifiable.

I'm not stupid, but I don't know what a "norman election year" is. I have stated repeatedly that I do not support, nor will vote for, any of the candidates. If it makes you feel better, I live in a blue state where my vote for President is meaningless anyway.

re: #226 haakondahl

The way I see it, the race doesn't get started until after the conventions. We are supporting him. He should listen to the views of his electorate and not his ego.

He knew what you were talking about.

If you were able to ask him what he thought was the worse part of his job, he would probably have said something along the line of "The worst thing about being a cop is knowing that you know who the bad guy is, knowing that he knows that you know it, and both of you knowing that there isn't a damned thing that you can do about it because there isn't enough "evidence" to prosecute him with."

Reading some of these comments is distressing. I have not seen the broadcast. But, I agree with the poster who said that John is the "damage control" candidate. Unless you are one of the ones that sees some utility in things getting totally bad before they can get better, both Dem candidates are crypto candidates, neither of them can reveal what their agenda is without losing. I am not convinced we need this abject lesson at this moment in time.

re: #250 Killian Bundy

Forget your 401k. For all their talk of recession and a slowing economy, just know what will happen when the Bush tax cuts sunset and the prior rates kick back in. Massive tax hike doesn't begin to describe the situation. It will take trillions out of the economy and put it into gov't hands, where it will be squandered as only big gov't knows how.

How about a mile deep well-fenced no-drilling wildlife sanctuary along the length of the U.S.-Mexico border, with lots of cougars, grizzlies, rattlesnakes, alligators, etc. This would solve the border security issue and still be palatable to moonbats, tree-huggers, dems and maybe even McCain.

You are an absolute genius. That is the best compromise I have ever heard.

Imagine film at 11 of a drug-smuggling illegal getting mauled by a cougar - how sweet would that be? And if a cougar got shot by an illegal moonbats would call for a massive military response. /LOL.
