Barry and John

Grappling with one's political conscience. We like Huck. Yes, we can't. Hospitalists. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 12)

/p> p> President Lyndon Johnson was once asked what he would do about people overseas who told Americans to go home. Johnson wasn't bothered about it, he said that if a man told you to leave his house, you didn't argue with him, you simply picked up your hat and left. John McCain has repeated insulted conservatives, he called them racists and bigots and he said that he doesn't need their support and doesn't want it. I took President Lyndon Johnson's advice a long time ago about John McCain -- he told me to leave his house, so I picked up my hat and left. I'm not br> going back no matter what anybody says. br> -- Christopher Holland br> Canberra, Australia /p>

As a conservative, I can't wait to NOT vote for Senator McCain this November. As Rush Limbaugh has noted, "We are all mavericks now."

p>And Senator McCain is going to get a dose of his own medicine, at least from me and any other conservatives I can influence. br> -- Blant Hurt br> Jonesboro, Arkansas /p> p> I can live with McCain as POTUS. I certainly prefer him to Barack. And I despise Hillary. But I wonder what his honor obsession is covering up. What is it McCain found honorable in leaving a wife who waited for him all the time he was a POW. And whether McCain's contemptuous behavior toward conservatives is a way of overcoming the powerlessness of his captivity. So I'll be damned if I vote for him. Or any RINO. br> --
