I love Cunningham and Savage. They ought to make them them the spokesmodels of the conservative party.  They can hang them self with their free (hate) speech.

I never said he should be censored. It's McCain's campaign and if he doesn't want to be associated with Cunningham's rhetoric, that's his choice. I never heard McCain say that he should be silenced, he just didn't want people to think he was endorsing Cunningham's comments.

So, you think we NB'ers are right wing whack jobs and lunatic fringe do you?

McCain loses the conservatives, as represented by most of us here, and he loses the election.  And after his latest poke in the conservative eye, I hope you enjoy the rule of B. Hussein Obama.

sally,

As a conservative who is actually planning on voting for McCain against Obama, I'm not coming at him from a totally hostile position. I want him to win. There was a way to distance himself from Cunningham's raw rhetoric without alienating him and other conservatives. I sense a Bushian trait in him - the trait that contain a too gentlemanly attitude towards the dems and a tin ear when it comes to dealing with conservatives in his own party.

I think it's obvious my he says "Hussein" all the time, and that's to draw attention to the middle name, get "Hussein" in your mind whenever you think of Obama.

Hi cd...

If what Cunningham said is wrong then some of us conservatives are too...he poked a big stick in the eye of the msm, he named all the networks with the exception of Fox... he wants Obama looked into as he should be instead of the lovefest the msm and the rest of the lemmings in the political world and the rest of the critters in the country so blindly follow..if he uses his middle name to prove his point that he hasn't been looked into thoroughly or barely any for that matter...he stuck up for McCain, the audience were ticket holders, McCain has met Cunningham twice in person before....unless Cunningham is lying, which I doubt...and to be cast aside and apologized for well who would ever vote for this kind of a man if you are a conservative...with friends like these... 

I know it is just me and we all will do differing things in the end...I just hope McCain doesn't make it to the final push of the election, in fact I pray some miracle will intercede somehow...

I really didn't follow politics then, so I don't remember that.

I just find it interesting that he says "That's his (Obama's) name." Well, then he should say it for everyone if that's his explanation, shouldn't he?

sally...

You have been trollin' since you have been on this board...carry on gal.

Btw...McCain is dumb as a box of rocks adn so are his ad visors if he thinks he is going to win without us conservatives,,,moderates...are what exactly sally...just what the hell do you believe in for this country eh?

You believe in closing the borders, are you against amnesty, do you believe in drilling in this country safely...how do you feel about Supreme Ct. Judges sally? ...these are just a few questions sally...I won't even go into the water-boarding torture or McCain/Feingold, embryonic stem cell research... and so much more with McCain....let me know how you feel about all of these things...

So, sally, you are saying that the only people McCain pissed off by flushing Cunningham are right-wing "extremists"?

Wrong. The right-wing extremists already don't like him. He pissed off a lot of conservatives who were trying to find a reason to support him.

And those "moderate" voters you talk about? They will revert to the Democrat ticket as soon as the primaries are over.

McCain, like any other potitician, is trying to have it both ways. He wants the conservative vote, but he doesn't want anybody "embarassing" him. So yeah, I can understand the red-meat people feeling short-changed here.

But I suspect the leftist mainstream is doing everything it can to demoralize the right-leaning electorate, as Leon is so obviously attempting here (yeah Leon, Brer Rabbit you ain't). For some reason this is becoming an "all or nothing" situation, where having a socialist become the most powerful person on earth is preferable to a candidate who can't pass a purity test (and everyone has their own opinion about what exactly that purity is).

But sometimes, when you've done a job for a long time, instinct takes-over & overrides common sense. I can see how the world could become the Senate Floor for an exhausted John McCain thinking ahead about debating Obama, and I can see him getting overly worried about the terms used by his firebrand supporters.

If anything a partisan Republican conservative like you would know not to compare anything (even media reaction to the Senator from Archer Daniels Midland, who was IMO only nominally a Republican!) between parties for media-treatment! :) It's just a possible explanation, not really an excuse.

candance...

You are correct. Another way I can tell that they are not conservatives is the way I have been treated by them when I discuss my plans to vote my principles instead of party. I have been called every name in the book, and some I have never heard before. 

Thankfully, most of the people here at NB have been very civil. This cannot be said about other blogs I frequent.

The funniest thing I have been called so far... "this guy is nothing more than an undercover liberal trying to sow seeds of division within the GOP". I cannot tell you the vile stuff because it's waaaaay over the top.

Not that I keep up all that well with the guy, but according to TNR's mud-dwellers, David Duke's reaction to Barak Obama is rather surprising, as well...
