Dragged Kicking and Screaming, Tancredo Will Pull Lever for McCain

I had a high opinion of Tancredo. Apparently I was wrong. What a fraud.

Tancredo will be joined by legions of people with myriad and diverse objections to Obama as voters get to know him. Some will be appalled by Obama’s long-standing and close friendships with felons and freaks like Rezko, Wright, Pfleger and Ayers. Some will find his inexperience unacceptable. Others will find his proposed tax increases staggering. Some will question the disconnect between his post-partisan rhetoric and his record, which has not deviated from the party line.

Since McCain locked up the GOP nomination about 20% of Republicans in every primary come out to vote against McCain, including uncommited.

McCain will allow construction for security measures on the border. Obama said he will stop all construction.
McCain is for a secure border while Obama is not for a secure border.
Obama said hate crimes were doubled because of lou dobbs.
The facts are wrong.
We will have 60 dem senators, dem house we need McCain to balance this out.
McCain will veto the big spending bills.
We need balance in government not a one party monopoly.

I am a moderate democrat. I can NOT vote for Obama. McCain is good enough for me. I know he will be a good commander-in-chief. I know he will not raise my taxes to support all those ridiculous socialist programs.

One issue neither party talks about is illegal immigration and it is a big issue in some states. Most Americans want our borders closed to illegals and those here sent back home. We do not need new laws to do that, just enforce the ones on the books. With our ecomony going donwhill and unemployment going up, the illegals should be sent home one way or another. They cost too much for education, medical, law enforcement, etc than taxes collected if any. Illegals are criminals.

Does it really matter?
If you’re looking for a way to ease and repair the economy, you shouldn’t have “dissed” Hillary Clinton; she was by far the best candidate of the three.
Obama doesn’t have a clue!
The DNC is broken.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!

A lot of us have the same problem this year. At this point it’s Nader for me.

Clinton Supporters,
Here’s the plan:
1) Tell any and all pollsters that you are now considering voting for Obama. (Tell them that you were unsure but you were convinced by the fist bump.
2) Vote for all Democrats except Obama.
3) Vote McCain or sit on your hands for President.
We will then be well-positioned for Hillary’s run in 2012, or even in 2008 should Obama finally implode.

Let the vetting begin!

tomdavie,
It takes more than a “fist pump” to fight off terrorist beheaders. Get a clue.

Well, I’m happy that in the primary, I voted FOR someone, because I liked their positions. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find someone I could stand behind. At first I supported Ron Paul, and the man will always be a hero to me.
And now it seems I can vote FOR Bob Barr. With a fractured GOP base, McCain can’t win. If you don’t want Obamanation, then you better think twice about voting against him with McCain. Listen to the positions, and not the rhetoric, the new Bob might surprise you.

I can’t imagine any self respecting Repubican voting Obama….thank God. If McCain isn’t Republican enough for them the most liberal candidate in the history of elections surely won’t be their pick either.
GO McCAIN ’08!

I voted for Tancredo in the Florida primary (Florida’s Republican delegates actually counted at 1/2 value). I don’t think I can vote for McCain as a matter of conscience. Even if super-liberal Obama wins as a result, it is better than voting for a man that has sharfted the conservative base of the Republican party every chance he got. MeCain always wanted to be the medai’s darly boy– doing whatever he felt would earn their praise. Well he’s in for the shock of his life because between now and November big media is going to let him have it with both barrels and I’m going to sit back and laugh. Maybe he will finally get the message that no matter how much you appease them they will never love you because you have an ‘R’ after your name.

Tancredo is right unfortunately, we can deal with McCain as President, but we will not survive if Obama is elected!!
For Hilary supporters to vote for any democrat candidate after what they did to Hilary will not teach the DNC any lessons. They stabbed Hilary in the back so vote all the dems out!!

at least it seems mccain won his party’ nomination fair and square,
i cannot say that for the dems.
super d, dem bigwigs and back room deals
which will make it easy for me a former dem to pull the lever for mccain in nov.

SO TRUE!

Marsha – just how would McCain be disastrous – by protecting American women from jihadis? By keeping crime from ballooning? By keeping us out of a depression that Obama would cause by doubling our taxes and gas prices? Oh, maybe you mean he might try to overturn Roe v. Wade and send abortion law back to the states where it belongs? I think you better do some more research!

Hillary needs to run for president so that honest voters don’t have to vote for Obama or McCain. Could not she be drafted for the good of the country?

Some conservatives are withholding support for McCain. Here is my response to those that are on the fence:
1. McCain is a moderate-to-conservative, Obama was rated *most liberal* Senator in the Senate last year. McCain is better on taxes, Judges, Iraq, Iran, GWOT, right-to-life, gun rights, earmarks/spending, and gay marriage (Obama will use his bully pulpit to encourage it)
2. McCain is a capable and experienced man who served the country his whole life, even spending 5 years in a POW camp. Obama has spent a lifetime raised and associated with radicals, marxists, and leftwing activists; he has served ‘the cause’ of leftwing politics only and nothing else. He has no accomplishments worthy of note except getting elected.
3. Ideology aside, and putting just the basic protection of the country on the line, there is no comparison – McCain is better.
4. We vote based on who is best for the country as top priority. Republican conservatives can clean up the mess of RINO poop in the RNC later as a secondary priority, but the top priority of a patriot is what is best for America. Country before party!
5. Based on #1, #2 and #3, McCain is far far better for this country than Obama. Neither man is ‘evil’, but far more bad things will happen to USA if Obama is elected.
6. You never win by losing. The most leftwing President in American history – Obama – will be a huge blow to the conservative cause.

Tancredo says he’s for McCain now, but as McCain continues to creep down in the polls, he’ll come around to supporting Bob Barr…. make no mistake, Barr is the ONLY candidate that stands between America and President Obama…. if Obama is sworn in next January, it will be a testament of the failure of conservatives to get behind a conservative candidate.
