'mc cain is just too liberal for me'. Really? When did he switch over?

[Philosoraptor]

I heard a cspan caller say that yesterday, 'mc cain is just too liberal for me', and they are HIGHLY offended that he even suggested reaching across the aisle to 'work with' the Democrats.

mc cain too liberal? What's an insane, megalomaniac, dead zone repub candidate have to do to reach across the aisle to HIS OWN PARTY for votes? Does he have to declare war on ALL the middle eastern nations? Does he have to dig up St. ronnie's corpse and drag it along to all his public appearances?

If mc cain is just too hippie dippie liberal for you, perhaps the Nazi Party is more your speed, I've been hearing a lot of good things about them, and they are officially approved by the bush royal family, who have a long business and political history with them going back 5 generations.

1. Apparently his 83% conservative voting record is about 17% shy of their ideal

No doubt, these nutbags want someone with 100% conservative support on all bills no matter how bad they are.

2. Who was the caller?

Comedian Rush Limbaugh??? :rofl:

[L. Coyote]

4. A member of McCain's campaign staff, in all likelihood.

McCain seems to have a bunch of Bushco boys working for them, given
the "up is down" stuff they are blasting at the voters already.

The most significant "Alice-in-Ronderland" claim I've heard so far
was artfully parsed by the mouth of the candidate, in a careful dodge
of the obvious lie, "Abramoff wishes he hadn't met me." As Chair
of the investigating Senate Committee in 2004, McCain was directly
in charge of the Abramoff cover-up--enabling Bush's "re-election"
and earning his present position!

Once voters realize he earned the candidacy covering up Bush crimes
..... well, tar and feathers comes to mind! :rofl:

3. The R's say McCain is a liberal. The D's say Hillary is a right-winger.

I know - let's swap candidates! Then everyone would be happy.

5. Regarding the lives of soldiers he may be.

After all, he vowed to send them to their deaths for the next 10 to 100 years, if he is elected president.

6. Well it's a perception thing

These are people that believe Hillary Clinton to be about as far left as Castro.

7. Another Dittzoid head no doubt..

Rushy has told his listeners that mcCANE is a librul, so they take it as the gospel truth.

8. Just another symptom of how far to the radical right the GOP

has moved. What's a conservative is now "liberal". As you say, where does that leave the rabid ones considered "conservative" now?

10. A Thought On That

If McCain has a dominating lead in the nomination race for their party, wouldn't that suggest that the radical right is NO LONGER THE BASE? And that when the drug addict says things like that, it just proves that they no longer have the clout the radical right had?

11. Yup. That's what they all fear, I think. To the point that they'll

support whackadoos like Huckabee or Cardboard Man and hope for the best.

Their day is over. They've proven their inability to control the gov't. Heck even Bush was using them.

True or not, McCain is seen as a moderate by many in the country. Thus his attraction for independents. But that's just what drives the far right nuts. They'd rather have Clinton or Obama, b/c then they can rail against the powers that be, drum up their fundraising efforts and do what they do best: get in the way of progress.

12. I posted a link to this excellent editorial by Harold Meyerson on that topic..

that was one of his exact comments that instead of appealing to the far right of the party and picking up just enough moderates and independents along the way to win (the Rovian doctrine), McCain is appealing to the center, hoping to pick up just enough of the right wing to come out ahead. This naturally has the rightwingnuts spinning their heads and puking like Linda Blair.

15. Yeah I Read That After I Posted This

Obviously, Harold and i agree.

14. Another thought, could it be that they are trying to get the independent vote

by painting McCain as not so bad so independents can vote for him?

What good does it do to attack the likely nominee of their party? That would be shooting themselves in the foot.

9. Parroting Limbaugh

I saw that rube on TV news yesterday, and he actually said "when has it become a conservative value to work WITH the democrats?"

So that caller is just parroting what that uneducated drug addict is saying.

13. Since I've heard that so many times this week I think it is coming from wing nut radio.

These people listen to wing nut radio and repeat it word for word in LTTE or on C-Span.

The next president will be either McCain, Clinton or Obama. They have no choice but to vote for one of them or don't vote.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. You're Right

I saw a vid clip of Limbaugh performing this rant. Another idiot heard from. (Again and again.)

17. Everytime I hear one of them say this I wonder...

what more do that want. I have heard some say that Bush is too liberal and is carrying out a liberal agenda.
