Dragged Kicking and Screaming, Tancredo Will Pull Lever for McCain

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.

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.

Unlike Tancredo, I have principles. My vote will go to Bob Barr.

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?

Hopefully, one day the right to vote will carry more choices for us all. But we are dealing with today's standards.

McCain has a really big problem if he has supporters with this level of enthusiam.

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!

HoosierSue: You may be surprised what Republican women will do in November.

No all are from the boondocks and know that McCain would be disastrous for America women!

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!

But, then, don't forget that George W. Bush didn't need to win elections to get into the White House...two times. Perhaps the next occupant of the White House will take the same path.

Well there's a thought!
Me thinks the Dem's are on the same playbill. Oh what a web they weave...........

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!!

You got numbers on this?

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.

I have no doubt Republicans will choose McCain over Obama. The sad thing is, many moderate Reps and Rep women would have chosen Hillary over McCain. The Dems really blew this one!

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!

While I am not a fan of Tom Tancredo's politics or that of John McCain, I will be joining Tancredo in November and cast my vote for John McCain.

Along with Tancredo, I am completely disgusted at having to cast my votes for the lesser of two evils, but barring an unanticipated power move at one or both of the conventions, that will be the choice.

But, then, don't forget that George W. Bush didn't need to win elections to get into the White House...two times. Perhaps the next occupant of the White House will take the same path.

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.

So now the spinners are claiming that the 18 million Hillary voters are all for Obama!

Surprise we are not ready to make nice...and it's not just the way the media pushed Obama 80% of the time....and it's not just the corrupt DNC that choose to bend it's rules to "slap" Hillary on the way out...It's because while the Obama delegates in Texas were deluging the Hillary delegates with threats we started checking out McCain.

It's because 4 of every ten new voters are Hillary voters and we believe our votes should count for something....It's because there is residual anger from being portrayed racist or idiots by the Obama campaign and the media.

It's because we cannot vote for a man who sat through 20 years of angry anti-White racist rhetoric when we would have never tolerated anti-Black racist rhetoric in our homes or churches.

Remember November...and remember the same people that were calling you names a week ago will be praising Hillary today....DON"T BE BAMBOOZLED!

tomdavie,

It takes more than a "fist pump" to fight off terrorist beheaders. Get a clue.

I was a total Clinton supporter .

I felt that Obama was too liberal, had no experience, and relied heavily on media spin , moveon.org and other factions to win .

But now since I saw the 'fist pump' with Michelle, I am convinced he will be the best president ever.

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.
