Will The Real Conservative Please Stand Up

Can someone please tell me why John McCain is considered a frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination again? I mean besides the fact that hes John McCain?

Is this what our political process has come to, a celebrified popularity contest based on name recognition. In the simplest of terms, the guy is a tool, and no offense to my fellow Auroran but hes a rino, as is Rudy (if youre liberal on social issues but "tough on crime"...youre a liberal) who I loved as Mayor but couldnt possibly conceive voting for him for President. Ok unlike a landwar with China, maybe its conceivable but Im not too sure how'd I feel about Rudy having his finger on the button...I can see it now, youre backed up in traffic and some domicillically challenged entrepreneur is giving your windshield a spitshine and BAM, a tactical nuke strike takes out the block.

I guess I can always vote Buchanan with an absentee ballot from my Palm Springs address again.


* In no way shape or form am I calling Rudy "smoke em if ya got em" Giuliani a liberal, but rather was making a social commentary on the pusillanimous nature of the Republican Party unwilling to take tough conservative stances or endorse strong conservative candidates. The New York Republicans are a joke. It was a waste of my time to go to the polls today. If we cant beat Clinton (ok we cant beat her) Spitzer or Cuomo then we should be taken out back and shot.

Thats not very tolerant of you Lily. I thought you hippies were supposed to be more understanding of others point of view. What are you anti-catholic?

Santorum for President? That might not be a bad idea. We could use another JFK in the White House.

1. Have you ever heard the term "Rockefeller Republican" ?? New York (and Northeast in general ... see Lincoln Chaffee) Republicans have historically been far more liberal (and sane, Giuliani excepted) than national Republicans.

2. I don't believe "domicillically" is a word.

3. I think SANTORUM should be "taken out back and shot."

4. What's this with people constantly vomiting in their mouths? Is that the new rage or something?

1. I prefer the term liberal

2. It is now

3. Of course you do, as your politics is rife with hate and intolerance

4. Beats me, but it didnt work out too well for John Bonham

UM, Anita I don't really follow fashion (not even during fashion week, except Betsey Johnson)but I guess what happens especially with bloggers is that expressions perhaps catch on then wear out? Sorry to be sheepescent in the presence of the Aurorans.

For a while everyone was a "fuckwit". Then think tanks were called "wingnut welfare" and everyone felt clever writing that.

Then all the clever people adopted fucktard, and Jesus themed comments like "Holy Jesus In A Thong" or "Like OMG! WTF! Holy Jeebus on Crack, no he DIDN'T just rip up our Constitution!"

It seems that Bush doing things to the constitution (tearing, wiping his ass on it)became almost as trendy as Bush as a Nazi.

Why is everyone hating on Santorum?
He's a good man.

And on Santorum:

it has nothing to do with being Catholic. Half my relatives are Christian, Catholic or Episcopalian. Most of my family is pro-life, pro- women in the home, pro-gun, pro-Reagan, anti-welfare, and of course into baby seals and kitten punching.

There are many other issues with Santorum, first being his environmental positions. I COULD go on all day but you would just call me a commie or tell me to go get you beer...

Donkey I certainly don't mean to ignore your turf and enjoy your posts actually but the Rhino just isn't very sociable.

I gotta tell ya, he has gotten pretty pissy and vinagrette.

anita said...

"pissy and vinagrette" ... i like that ... and it seems to be somewhat apropos in this context. i notice that the rhinoculous has definitely been spitting fire these days.

Um yeah...so...hows that beer coming along?

...and try to keep the saltwater out of it.

gary said...

By the way, have you ever googled "santorum"? Take a look at the top hit.

Rhino-itall said...

u think i'm bad here? wait till i come find you at the blue republic.

Honestly i'm losing my patience with all the whiny little pussy liberals who cry about the fact that we're fighting a war that we didn't start, and think that global warming is a bigger danger than people who want to detonate a nuclear bomb in the middle of NY in the name of allah.

So maybe i'm pissy, but at least i'm not a pussy. Stop being so sensitive.

The salt's ma damn tears, Donkey! Lamenting my pathos. Sad, sad hippie life.

Beer indeed.

And if you mean the Santorum google bomb? Yeah- the liberals are behind that and we're proud. If you mean the fecal slurry, the liberals did that too. The cooler ones.

I shouldnt mention then that I am working at Casey HQ?

Rhino-itall said...

You are working at casey HQ? so what's his position on Iraq? he hasn't shown enough balls to mention that yet so if you know what it is let us know.
