Petition Calling for a McCain Boycott

rocko36 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:25:46 +0000

If you’ve had trouble discerning the difference between Senator John McCain and liberals like Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy, don’t worry…your not alone. Many conservatives are frustrated today because of politicians like Senator McCain who seem to be spending a majority of their time with Democrats trying to “compromise” on the issues. The only problem is that “the compromise” always ends up with so-called Republicans abandoning their principles to move closer to the position of their opponents. When is the last time you’ve seen a compromise in which the Democrats gave-up something? After years of these types of comprises, Republicans like McCain have moved so far Left, its difficult to distiguish them from the Liberals. And its exactly this type of action that has weakened the Republican Party.

Frustrated conservatives are beginning to say “enough is enough.” An example of this proactive stance is a new petition drive recently launched calling upon conservatives to boycott McCain is the endorsed Republican candidate. Perhaps the only way the Republican party is going to get the message is for the base to reject their liberal leaders and agendas.

Quo Vadis, Conservatives?

By Michelle Malkin

The contest for the GOP nomination is over. The conservative movement is not.

Quo Vadis, conservatives? It’s the ancient, apocryphal question the apostle Peter asked Jesus while fleeing persecution in Rome. Where are you going? Where do we go from here?

The contest for the GOP presidential nomination is over. The conservative movement is not. Sen. John McCain’s campaign resurrection and Super Tuesday victory leave a diverse group on the right – from the libertarian Club for Growth to First Amendment defenders to immigration-enforcement proponents – dispirited. But the failure to nominate a true Republican unifier does not spell ideological defeat.

On Wednesday, wielding his olive branch like a schoolmarm’s ruler, Sen. McCain told conservatives to “calm down.” My advice is exactly the opposite: Get fired up. Some on the right advise their readers and listeners to vote Democrat or sit home. My advice is exactly the opposite: Get off the couch and walk the walk for conservative candidates and officeholders who need all the help they can get defending free markets, free minds, and secure borders – no matter who takes the White House in November.

Critics of McCain’s Critics Should Chill

rocko36 — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:59:39 +0000

By David Limbaugh

Isn’t it ironic that GOP moderates are harshly criticizing GOP conservatives for being harshly critical of GOP presidential frontrunner John McCain?

What mortal sins have conservative McCain critics committed? Oh, they’ve stuck to their conservative principles, fighting for the values they believe in and refusing, prematurely, to surrender. What good would they be if they so readily threw in the towel of defeat? “Enlighted” moderates are shocked at conservatives, tagging them as uncompromising extremists who represent the very fringe of the Republican Party.

Conservative Talk Show Hosts Reject McCain

Conservative talk radio hosts including Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity and Laura Ingraham are upset by the fact that Senator John McCain appears to be the front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination. “We are trying to stop the wanton destruction of the party, the wanton dilution of the party,” said Limbaugh. “We are sick and tired of how the people who seem to be triumphing in our party are precisely the people who seem to be selling this party out in terms of its ideology.” McCain will have trouble winning in November if he fails to secure the support of conservatives.
