Redstate - Panties in a Twist
Thu Feb 07, 2008 at 02:16:17 PM PDT
There are actually quite a few of us inflating Redstate's hit rate, and this diary might contribute to that. But, dang it, the schadenfreude is just too exquisite. I bring to you below the fold, a totally biased extraction of some of the juiciest comments today from Erick's Three quarters of a loaf better than nothing ... thread. Here's an appetizer in the intro:
My problem with McCain, is that I just don't believe him. I fear he'll stab the conservatives in the back at his first opportunity. The opportunity to get good press coverage will be too much for him. (muxedo76)
Ouch! A "Republican Clinton"?
. . . I simply don't like the guy. You may be infatuated with him and that's all right with me, but don't go ballistic on me for not liking the man. As far as I'm concerned he's the Republican Clinton, it's all about power plays for him. . . . (Harold Vaughn)
Looks like "populist" is the new "liberal"
. . . regarding the VP choice. I'll pull the lever for him as it is now (heck, I voted for Dole and I didn't much like that), but if he goes with a Huckabee or some other "populist" I'm out. (muxedo76 again)
Can you say "flip flopper"? Maybe these Redstaters aren't as dumb as they often seem:
. . . Words are cheap. McCains problem is that he has a checkered past. And its well documented. He wasn't called the Maverick because he moved right of the party. This is the first time in years he even bothered to attend the CPAC meeting. Doesn't that tell you something?
And you are right. We know where McCain stands. And it differs in a lot of ways from what he said today. . . .(Bob Frazier)
Some of the comments are quite cromulent:
. . . He's not boughten my vote yet. He says "secure the border" but left open the whole argument about what to do with the illegals already here. (to mom)
From the mouths of babes who "no" better:
Its funny, if I didn't no better, I would have thought Romney was the nominee. Romney got a much better receiption than McCain did. McCain still has a lot of more work to do. (lobo)
Ok, I want this Kossack Redstater to stand up and be counted. Mr. RedHotandinBlue? Is that you Markos?
. . . They had to INSTRUCT people not to boo McCain....yet again, McCain taking hits at free speech; in a Conservative back yard; what Maverick! They conveniently put ALL McCain support up front today with their little signs and they had to applaud many times to hope to drown out the boo-birds for the media. Sad. Wonder why Fox didnt pan the room at all? Hum? Did anyone notice how Jane Skinner stayed with Mike Steele so that he could keep pimping McCain while Coburn was getting boo's during the opening of the intro of McCain? . . . (Mr. RedHotandinBlue - probably Markos)
Mysteries of the Universe, or, what the heck are you really saying?
and I will blame YOU and others if our troops sacrificed their lives in Iraq and more unborn babies are killed because of Liberal justices appointed.
Go Dawgs, Sic em' Woof Woof (GOPUGA)
And kids, remember, this is a fairly rational right wingnut site (compared to Free Republic and Little Green Footballs). These guys aren't exactly batshit crazy. Oh, except for this one:
cant think when mccain has lied - he is usually up front. i may be forgetting something here. (paulseale)
You think Kossacks are engaging in a little fratricidal blood letting? This, and other Redstate Threads, define "schadenfreude" for me.
Have a nice day. Hillary and Barack are both A-OK with me!
P.S. Don't blame me if some of these comments disappear. It's a Redstate thing.
