		<description>When has Limbaugh ever been any good to anybody--other than duping simpletons into voting for Republicans for reasons that have nothing to do with the policies they end up crafting?

Ditto the whole roster:  Hannity, Savage, Coulter, Ingraham...  They all are sounding more and more like dinosaurs--thank goodness their whole mistake might be coming to an end.

We really need to get beyond the pretend Left-Right civil war; it&#039;s beneath all of us who have brains in working order.

		<description>&quot;Rush Limbaugh has always been an idiot&quot;
Strong words coming from a guy who went to Beirut only to completely misunderstand everything about the place. I remember your shock that the place went violent. God god.

		<description>As a side note, Andrew McCarthy sums up this whole &quot;MDS&quot; line of BS better than I could:

&lt;i&gt;I recall being most frustrated when some anti-Clinton zealot would claim the president had ordered an assassination or run cocaine through Mena Airport.  Naturally, the Clinton people would very effectively conflate those inane accusations with the highly colorable allegations that the president had obstructed justice and committed perjury.  Commentators would duly brand all the presidentÔøΩs critics as deranged Clinton haters.&lt;/i&gt;

Based on this post (and the prior), I believe our host is guilty of the same thing.

		<description>The available evidence is pretty strong that McCain has Duke Cunningham Disease.  More commonly known as Fighter Pilot&#039;s Syndrome.  He is convinced of his own perfection.  Any criticism of any of his policies drives him into foaming tirades.  He&#039;s a hater, and he&#039;s good at it.

He&#039;ll defend McCain-Feingold by appointing judges like Ginsburg and Souter.  He&#039;ll support open borders with appointments like the La Raza racist he&#039;s got as his &quot;Hispanic Outreach Director&quot;.  Tax policy will be set by Ted Kennedy.

It will probably be fun to see how he deals with his former friends in the media, once they turn on him with all the savagery and slander they use when confronted with their goal of electing a Democrat over anyone else.  That may be as entertaining as Spiro Agnew, with possibly the same end result...

I&#039;ll go vote next November, but I likely will leave the President selections unmarked.

		<description>Let me start by saying that that I will probably vote for McCain if he wins the nomination.  But I won&#039;t like it, and I&#039;ll probably regret it later.  If we weren&#039;t at war, I definitely would NOT vote for McCain.

If those who canÔøΩt stomach voting McCain stay home, it wonÔøΩt be because Limbaugh and Coulter told them to do so, itÔøΩll be because theyÔøΩve taken a principled stand. And good for them.  They have plenty of good reasons not to vote for McCain, all of which have been addressed within the comments of your numerous posts about McCain Derangement Syndrome, and none of which have addressed by the host.

The idea that conservatives are deranged if they passionately disagree with McCain on issues which they find important, is just ad-hominem masquerading as analysis.  Some of us really are concerned about this country&#039;s leftward lurch, and see the long-term effects of a McCain presidency as more damaging than 4 years of Clinton or Obama, since this would probably be followed by a return to sanity.

McCain is no conservative, regardless of what the ACU says.  He&#039;s a statist, through and through.  Because he&#039;ll continue the Iraq war should not be the ONLY prism through which to choose our next president, even if it may be the most important one.

		<description>Roger,

As pmmcarthy and MikeD have indicated, McCain is at best a RINO and at worst a blue dog Democrat.

What I find funny about your criticism of Rush is that it questions why a conservative (Rush) would criticize a supposed conservative (McCain).

The war with Islamofacism is the issue of our times.  McCain maybe okay there.

But many other things will be determined in the next Administration, including if McCain wins.  McCain SUCKS (i.e. a technical term) on almost any other issue, including McCain-Feingold, taxes and the economy, immigration, gun control and judges (on of the Gang of 14), among others.

While I don&#039;t listen to Rush, I know a lot of people who also don&#039;t listen to Rush but who like Rush think McCain stinks.

Some conservatively persuaded voters will stay home, some will vote for Hillary (fools that they are) and some will hold their nose and vote for McCain.

If McCain wins the Republican nomination, I will most likely vote for him because (1) I don&#039;t think he will cut and run (although the Democrats will get everything else they want so he can keep the fight going) and (2) it is time to stop the Clinton corruption machine.

But I must reiterate - McCain sucks.  And I don&#039;t have any derangement syndrome!

		<description>Wow. I started reading this thread and I thought that I had somehow been transported to the Daily Kos. This is not the level of discourse that I have come to know from reading this website. Why all of these intemperate remarks? It clearly is a sign that McCain is a flawed candidate. I am sure Roger that you know that. Attacking Rush Limbaugh (no I am not a fan of Rush) is not going to change the fact that many Republicans have major issues with John McCain. Rather than trying to change the subject by deflecting the anger to Rush or Ann Coulter or anybody else, why don&#039;t we all stop and take a deep breath and assess the situation from a more pragmatic point of view. A lot of Republican&#039;s do not like McCain for a host of very good reasons. Until McCain sews up the nomination, these people are going to do what is in their power to try and prevent McCain from getting the nomination. Thus you hear some Republicans saying that under no circumstance will they vote for McCain and others saying that they would even support Hillary in the general election. However, before you get too excited, remember that this is being said before they are faced with the stark reality of having to choose between McCain and Hillary or Obama. Rather than calling them names, just give these people a chance to vent their anger over what is (certainly from my perspective) one of the worse choices we could get for a candidate. When reality sinks in a lot (not all) of these Republicans will with great reluctance (as I will do) vote for John McCain, the lesser of two evils.

		<description>&quot;That may come from his, endorsing by implication, our insisting on being told we are the greatest souls in the world and &#039;I, whoever the candidate is, can take that brown stain right out of your social fabric just like Tide took it out of your momma&#039;s clothes. Now let me just have at it.&#039;&quot;

This is not an example of racism.  It is merely a witty observation on how the politically correct elites perceive the candidacy of Barack Obama!  There is little doubt that his campaign is taking full advantage of white guilt.

		<description>If nothing else as Victor Davis Hanson says, &#039;the die (by our voting) has been cast&#039; and, from my point of view, we are better able to live with the results. When Iran overruns Iraq and closes the Straits of Hormuz, I&#039;ll say, &quot;Oh, Well. No biggee.  We&#039;ll get back to you when we get our act together.&quot; Re: the comment on Rush being a racist.  That may come from his, endorsing by implication, our insisting on being told we are the greatest souls in the world and &#039;I, whoever the candidate is, can take that brown stain right out of your social fabric just like Tide took it out of your momma&#039;s clothes.  Now let me just have at it.&#039;  With re: McCain Feingold, I was talking to a pharmaceutical rep today.  They can&#039;t talk about their products or scientific studies unless there talking about an FDA approved indication; forget published peer reviewed literature indexed by the National Library of Medicine.  This is a very serious infringement on free speech; anybody care? So reacting to that one restriction does not reestablish free speech. The SBVT which sunk Kerry was done after McCain-Feingold.
