I tried to put away my conservative bias, turn off logic and common sense and I still can’t figure it out. Even if I did feel that drug dealers, murderers and terrorists deserved the same rights as their victims, I wouldn’t be voting for Dion, Rae or Justin. I’d be voting for Jack! and the NDP.

Why? It’s quite simple. Even though their policies would flush the country down the toilet, at least they have policies. The Liberals change their votes (if they even show up) based on the latest polls.

If it wasn’t for the constant free pro-Liberal party advertising in the newspaper and on the television, I can’t see how anyone on the left would vote Liberal over the NDP.

The Liberals are the party of the brainwashed voter.

We have strong disagreements with all the Republicans running for president. The leading candidates have no plan for getting American troops out of Iraq. They are too wedded to discredited economic theories and unwilling even now to break with the legacy of President Bush. We disagree with them strongly on what makes a good Supreme Court justice.

Maybe that’s because you are Democrats?

Still, there is a choice to be made, and it is an easy one. Senator John McCain of Arizona is the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe. With a record of working across the aisle to develop sound bipartisan legislation, he would offer a choice to a broader range of Americans than the rest of the Republican field.

You mean, he’s the only Republican that keeps falling over to the left.

I’m not a big fan of the Republican options this year, now that Fred! has withdrawn but honestly, why does the NYT even bother?

In 2006, however, Mr. McCain stood up for the humane treatment of prisoners and for a ban on torture. We said then that he was being conned by Mr. Bush, who had no intention of following the rules. But Mr. McCain took a stand, just as he did in recognizing the threat of global warming early. He has been a staunch advocate of campaign finance reform, working with Senator Russ Feingold, among the most liberal of Democrats, on groundbreaking legislation, just as he worked with Senator Edward Kennedy on immigration reform.

Did he actually stand for smaller government, less taxes, etc? What actually makes him a Republican?

Even their advertising on this opinion was paid for by the DNC.

Is it time for the Conservatives to drop the what?

the puck?
their pants?

I’d vote for drop the opposition leader.
