McCain’s speech given at CPAC almost made me want to vomit.  He mentioned G-D, conservative values, Ronald Reagan, taxes, illegal immigration (he apologized), and his absence at last year’s conference (apologized again).  In my humble  opinion it was one of the most pathetic attempts to pander I have ever seen.  The only time I became more violently ill is watching Queen Hillary do it, at least she doesn’t try as hard to hide her socialist leanings.  He was booed, jeered and met with silence a few times, and this idiot is going to be the nominee!?  A little bit of southern knowledge to share with you all, if he were the real deal, he wouldn’t have had to spend all the time he did at the convention "telling" us how much of a conservative he is.  It would be obvious were he the real deal.  One little nugget during his "speech" was that he would not allow the expansion of entitlement programs (welfare).  The idiot should be scaling them back on a huge scale, not giving lip service to the rest of us true conservative Americans, the only true American’s.  Sorry lefty’s, that’s just how I feel.

John Bicknell with CQ Politics wrote a story today bringing up the very real and very scary scenario of McCain in cahoots with a Dim(S) house and senate.  The left is weaseling more and more control over both and with an extremely "left friendly" president in office, well, quite frankly it makes me want to stock up on ammo and food stuff’s in preparation for the apocalypse.

I have resigned myself to the certainty that the next four years will be under the control of a leftist appeaser.  Take your pick from the two Dim’s(S), in ideology they are exactly the same.  At least Hussein doesn’t seem as slimy.  Here’s an update as to what the DNC is up to these day’s.  Can these people be serious?

I’ll close with some words from Libby Quaid (AP)

Main Reasons Conservatives Oppose McCain

WASHINGTON (AP) — While Republican John McCain is urging his conservative critics to rally around his presidential campaign, there is a lot of water under that bridge.

Here are the top 10 reasons some conservatives dislike the Arizona senator:

1. Campaign finance reform. McCain tried to limit the role of money in politics with measures that, critics say, stomp on the constitutional right to free speech.

2. Immigration. McCain has been a vocal supporter of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, although he now says he understands the border between the U.S. and Mexico must be sealed first.

3. Tax cuts. McCain twice voted against President Bush’s tax cuts, saying in 2001 they helped the wealthy at the expense of the middle class and in 2003 that there should be no tax relief until the cost of the Iraq war was known. But he now wants to extend the tax cuts.

4. Gay Marriage. McCain refuses to support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

5. Stem cell research. McCain would relax restrictions on federal dollars for embryonic stem cell research, which critics consider tantamount to abortion.

6. Global warming. Among the loudest voices in Congress for aggressive action against global warming and a frequent critic of the Bush administration on the issue.

7. "Gang of 14" member. One of seven Republicans and seven Democrats who averted a Senate showdown over whether filibusters could be used against Bush judicial nominees.

8. Kerry veep. McCain was approached by the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, about being his running mate. McCain talked with Kerry but rejected the offer.

9. Works with Democrats. See all of the above.

10. Belligerence. McCain can be acerbic toward his critics, such as when he labeled televangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson "agents of intolerance." He reconciled with Falwell in 2006. Conservative James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said in a statement on the morning of the Super Tuesday primaries that he would not vote for McCain, citing among other things his "legendary temper" and that he "often uses foul and obscene language."
