McCain - All You Need is Hate

Wow. Honestly, I've never seen the level of vitriol for anyone not named Clinton. I think the problem is that conservatives don't just see McCain as not an authentic conservative. Many see Giuliani that way, but they don't detest him like they do McCain. McCain's big sin is that he has a hatred for conservatives, for talk radio, for blogs...in short for many of the activists that have helped build the party and help it be successful. Since McCain has so gleefully kneed talk radio and blogs in the groin, they are more than happy to return the favor.

Yes, it's personal. And it's not likely to ever get better.

Here are some snippets...Michael Reagan writing that "John McCain Hates Me" ...(and he's right):

As I watched McCain and Governor Romney go at it during the debate at the Reagan Library I was struck by the huge gap that separates McCain -- whose contempt for his fellow humans is patently obvious -- and my dad, Ronald Reagan, who had nothing but the deepest affection and respect for the American people.

The feeling is mutual between McCain and me. I don’t like the way he treats people. You get the impression that he thinks everybody is beneath him. He seems to be saying, “I was a war hero, and you had damn well better treat me as your superior.”



and Thomas Sowell, writing about "McCain's Straight Lies":

When confronted with any of his misdeeds, Senator McCain tends to fall back on his record as a war hero in Vietnam. Let's talk sense. Benedict Arnold was a war hero but that did not exempt him from condemnation for his later betrayal. Being a war hero is not a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card. And becoming President of the United States is not a matter of rewarding an individual for past services.

The Presidency is a heavy responsibility for the future of the nation, including generations yet unborn. Character and integrity are major qualifications. The passing years and a friendly media have allowed Senator McCain's shortcomings in the character and integrity department to fade into the background.

Michael Steele delivers GOP weekly address

Here is Michael Steele delivering the weekly Republican address: Transcript: This is Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Democrats have controlled both branches of government for less than a month. And you have to wonder if all that power has gone to their heads. For the last two weeks, they've been trying to force a massive spending bill through Congress under the guise of economic relief. All of us - Republicans and Democrats - agree the government must act to kick-start the American economy. American families are doing their best to balance their own budgets and pay their mortgages. The fastest way to help those families is by letting them keep more of the money they earn. Individual empowerment: that's how you stimulate the economy. But the Democrats have a different philosophy. Instead of leaving money in the family checkbook, they want to send it to Washington, run it through a slow and inefficient government, and hope that does some good. Wh...
