Fox does it again -- Meet John McCain, D-AZ

Fox News never gets tired of making this mistake:

No doubt we will hear the same tired excuse; Oops! it was an unintentional human error! (tee hee). I don’t support McCain, but I dislike this kind of sleazy tactic, no matter who the target.

Well Andy Coulter says he’s more liberal than Hillary.

oh good grief. McCain (essentially) has won the repub nomination. Ain’t no fucking way Fox won’t support him in the national, ergo no way they are intending to fuck w/him now.

And I hate Fox.

With Dobson finally weighing in, the Huckster can still turn things around for America’s Party!

It almost makes me think this is a new method of manipulating the sheeple, I mean public. Maybe fox, Limbaugh, et. al., think they can swing a bunch of independents and “Reagan Democrats” over to the GOP ticket if they continue complaining about how liberal McCain is, never mind that his voting record paints him as one of the most conservative in the Senate. It’s just too pat if you ask me, but believing crap like this is the first step on the path to tin-foil hat world.

We have seemingly nice rational posters on this board complaining McCain is too liberal and that he is not a true conservative and a betrayer of the GOP.

I don’t think Rush & Fox are playing some weird game of mirrors, I think they are honestly just that twisted that they don’t even know what a conservative is.

Some of them think Huck is a conservative when he is nothing but a Theo-Con populist. Romney had very little real conservative cred in his record. This world has gone bizarro.

I want my party back, dammit!

Dump all the religious nutjobs, and get back to economic rationality and small government.

When you succeed, I will be happy to return, I officially left the party yesterday. I gave up the fight. Maybe we can resurrect the Bull-Moose Party? :wink:

Yep. I changed my registration to <shudder> Democrat for the second time in my life this year so I could vote against Hillary in the primary (the first time was so I could vote against Tom Hayden in a primary). As it stands now, I’m hoping for an Obama/McCain contest. that way I’ll be reasonably satisfied whoever wins.

But I want a new party. Bull Moose would do just fine. The only thing that scares me more than the Radical Left is the Religious Right.

If I ever saw any evidence that the GOP was into economic rationality and small government, I would consider voting Republican. As it is, I have voted ~60% Democratic and 20% Libertarian and 20% independent in past presidential elections. The GOP, to me at least, seems to be the party of defense contractors, corporate America, the religious right, and legislated morality. The Democrats, while not being much (i.e. any) better with regards to small government and fiscal responsibility, at least doesn’t try to control my actions or force their morality and religion down my throat. YMMV and all that.

Well he has betrayed the GOP of the last few years. He has of at least a few occasions expressed opinions that have not been throughly vetted with powers that be in the GOP. It will be interesting to see if the powers that be are so cranky at not being able to call all of the shots that they take their ball and go home in the fall.

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity.

Isn’t it at all possible that Fox News just has a bunch of retarded monkeys at the keyboards, instead of Republican conspirators?

Just asking. Stupid or evil, makes no nevermind to me.

Guys, you’re not getting the reference: Daz is a washing powder! They’re saying he’s whiter than white!

:smiley:

Could be both:

Eh, fuck that.

Whig party in '08!

I swear we are twin brothers by different mothers. I agree.

So, you were in “the party” back in the 70’s? I thought you were younger than that.

I would be very happy with Obama vs. McCain. Two candidates I like and respect in the same year, that would be amazing. It is rare that I have had a single candidate I liked and respected.

I don’t think McCain has betrayed the GOP, he has just did not toe the line with the Bush/Cheney/Tom Delay/Rush Windbag wing of the party, which sadly is the GOP leadership for all too long now. My reason for leaving the party.

**Silenus ** has at least 10 years on me and I was a Young Republican going back to 1983 and voted for Reagan in 1984.

Jim

Yeah! And the Left is only criticizing Hillary because they want to make her look more moderate!

Well, that’s not true, either.

It should be telling that Republicans are voting for a guy with supposed Democratic leanings. And I don’t see the point of Fox doing this at this late a stage.
