John McCain:
"Old Splinter Butt."
It fits. Anyone who rides fences as much as him is bound to have an ass full of splinters.
McCain Expounds
His plan has always seemed to be to just say the right thing to the right people at the right time. Instead of just saying the right thing.
I wish we could take the parts from each politician that we like and make one super-candidate. You know, President Bush's faith and loyalty, McCain's war-hero status and support of our military, Tancredo's ideas on immigration, Newt's savvy, etc.
Ah, well... lacking the super-candidate, I may well wind up sitting out the next election. Can't take these morons anymore.

Notice who McCain seems to win the most points with---the "pin-striped faggots" of the liberal Eastern elite wing of the GOP. These Nelson Rockefeller types have little in common with the conservative base of the Republican Party, often scorning (as McCain does) the common-sense conservatism of folks like Limbaugh and Hannity as coming from "ignorant,unwashed masses." Sheesh...no wonder Nixon hated these folks with their Ivy League pedigrees and their inhertied money. Frankly, I see little difference between them and the limousine liberals of the left---both are condescending, far too privileged, and just plain wrong on most issues.
While I have become increasingly disenchanted with Bush on many issues (immigration---what the HELL is he THINKING?), I would still choose him over McCain any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Ooga Booga!!!

You should go to vote and spoil your ballot instead. After all, if you don't vote, you're giving up your right to bitch about the results ... :-)

Do you suppose that the reason we are in this predicament is precisely because the republicans KNOW we see them as "the lesser of two evils"???
Somebody needs to send them a very, very loud message... maybe even if that means they lose some seats and the evil libs get some power back.
Sometimes you have to see just how bad something else is before you appreciate what is truly good.
I seriously can't stand two-faced politicians anymore... especially when they claim to be Conservative and then side with radical islam, illegal aliens, and the evil "elite."
They say that you get the government that you deserve... and I think this is our moment to decide.
Yeah, kmg, I agree.
On the other hand, I used to vote for a very Conservative third party. In one election, I was only one of only 32 votes that candidate got in all of Fresno County (CA). What I did made no difference, although it did make ME feel better. However, since politics, as Aristotle defined it, is essentially the art of maintaining a civil society, by throwing my vote away I really didn't contribute to that maintainence---I really just assuaged my own ego.
So, I have to admit I'm torn. On the one hand, the "lesser of two evils" is, as Hugh Hewitt has pointed out, quite a bit better than the alternative. On the other hand, I am getting very tired of feeling like a 5-year-old who is given candy and put in front of the TV to give his parents a few moments of peace. It's insulting as hell, and I'm really feeling like digging out my somewhat rusty pitchfork and lighting a torch right now. Sacramento and Washington, D.C. could both use a good torching to drive the rats out.
BTW, there is a great lead piece in the May 22 issue of National Review about the absurd failure of the GOP Congress to produce anything really substantive, along with their abject surrender to the Demo model of doing things, especially in the patrician Senate. Appropriately enough, the cover photo is of an elephant's ass, seen as he walks away from the viewer. As a Conservative, that is exactly how I feel right now---the Party walks away, and says "Kiss my ass" in the bargain.
Ooga Booga!!!! (lighting his tiki torch for a march on Washington...)
