Freepers disappointed in McCain win
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1956501/posts

a few comments :

McLAME will never get my vote (Fred/Hunter)

Dear God, what’s wrong with people!

Good Lord, what has become of our election process...our Country?

The MEDIA is electing our President..God help us.

I am slowly coming to grips with this... just plain sad.

16. What?
You'd think he'd be their fucking patron saint (though, in their words, he might be too much of a "socialist" when it comes to economics).

19. No, they think he's a tax raising liberal.
Partly because he doesn't hate the poor

20. That is what I thought.
Though it would be interesting if the evangelical members of the site stopped to reconsider where they were when that new rule was decreed.

4. McCain at the top of the ticket with his VP Lindsey Graham.
The right wingers will be slashing their wrists.

33. Why? Graham was behind the impeachment...they should like him...at least a little.!
Funny, I predicted long ago the Graham would be McLame's VP. Not many people agreed. But,you can see Graham's eyes light up like a jack-o-lantern at the sight or sound of Mclame. He cheers him on to an extreme at every chance he gets. Wonder what disgusting job Lieberman will hold in his administration...if he gets one...heaven forbid. What chance of ending this damn immoral war would we have if those f***s get in office?

9. I feel so bad for them.
Their creepy corpse of a candidate has been a flop. Their despicably despotic leader is a monumental failure, loathed by nearly everyone on the planet. After 8 years of Republican leadership, our country is in as perilous a predicament as it has been in decades and everybody knows it.

Why, why won't the people just listen to the Freeper's sage political advice? Why????

Maybe we should hold a fund raiser. I'll bake some brownies.

It's nearly impossible to un-train a freeper.

13. Maybe they need to check out the SC DRE Machines....
They might begin to understand. MSNBC/CNN called the election with two big counties vote not even in because of "problems." McCain was ready to sue a county in Western SC he won Big in 2000 because the machines broke down and they didn't have enough paper ballots so folks were voting on "scraps of paper." Then later McCain withdraws his challenge in the County when he "got word" he was winning..in other places with machines that had problems :rofl: and the CNN/MSNBC folks taking word of the AP Wire called him the winner with 130,000 in Myrtle Beach (BIG NEW COUNTY with TRANSPLANTS and Evangelicals and the adjoining county with around 75,000 Huckabee supporters.

Those Freeps might start to understand that what happened to Dems can happen to them.

14. That's pretty awesome.
They consider Hunter and Thompson to be the only conservatives... They're both DOA.

Entertaining reading.

23. The GOP is split into three camps
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 11:08 PM by creeksneakers2
The vast right wing conspiracy adherents, secular rule based on big military and tax cuts every week, want Romney.

The Born Again crowd, anti-abortion, anti gay rights, prayer in schools but some lib things are OK, want Huckabee.

The moderates want McCain.

Huckabee might have hit a wall tonight.

38. Really, that's a serious answer
They want a Reagan, strictly speaking, not Reagan himself. That was the point of the Thompson candidacy, but it crashed and burned quickly. They're desperate not to get another W this time, but their field is so crappy they don't know who to turn to now. It's pretty much guaranteed that a significant percentage of voters stupid enough to vote Republican are going to dislike their nominee strongly. However weird our race is, theirs is passing strange this year.

24. I have a friend who is like a father to me and he bleeds Republican
and he says he will never vote for McCain. He feels as if he has not changed, but his party has moved away from him and that although the Republicans have many candidates, he has no choice.
I only wish that so many here at DU were not so ready to go into the backyard and eat dirt over who the Republican candidate may be or who the Democratic candidate will be.

The Repubs are picking the candidate that has the best chance of winning the General Election while the Dems are trying to get our best chance to drop out.

Oh, you mean Edwards! Well, I think people would like a President who is true to his word. So, not Edwards.

31. McCain won't survive the general

He made a good impression as a maverick a few years ago, and a lot of people remember warm fuzzy things about him.

As the Republican nominee, he will receive a lot more attention for the loon he has become.

34. That depends on who he's running against.
Your average Joe/Josie, moderate/independent, isn't ever going to feel warm fuzzy things about Hillary. They might not like McCain as much after the GE race exposure but they will still like him more than Hillary.

35. No, it doesn't depend on who he is running against

Disliking a candidate, and coming to the realization that a candidate does not have all of his marbles, are two different things.

Hillary doesn't need that much McCain slippage.

32. Please let them nominate Huckabee!
OK, he could count on the Religious Reich's vote but no-one else would, I honestly think his religious extremism scares the shit out of everyone else.

39. They have always hated McCain...
and they always will. He takes positions at times that are very against Freeper positions and they will never forgive him for that.

for McCain given a choice.
