It’s About Time
n a delicious piece of irony, many dispirited Republicans, devastated by Tuesday’s special election loss in Mississippi, now believe their savior to be John McCain — a not-so-constant conservative many of them also have long intensely disliked.
And speaking of, you’d think from reading this that McCain has been inviting Dems for weeks to conference calls, and Michelle has been pleading all this time and just now got an invitation — except that there were no Dems invited until last week’s call, and apparently, she’s been sitting there waiting for an invitation to appear in her inbox.
If he’s willing to take questions from hostile liberal bloggers, why not take some from conservative bloggers who represent substantial readerships with dissenting views on how best to make this country “safe, prosperous, and proud?â€
He does. If she had done her homework, she would know all she had to do was join the mailing list and she’d get an invitation. That’s how all of us got them. But she didn’t do her homework, and now she’s whining about it.
Put on your big girl pants, Michelle. It’s your fault you didn’t get invitations, not McCain’s, not ours, just yours.

I’m glad you’ve made your choice and are committed to it it, but I have my reservations.
I know you’ve heard it all before, but the 1st amendment, the border etc., I find it hard to jump on the bandwagon. I know he’s better than “them”, but living in Kalifornia, I feel I may be able to waste my vote and send a message to the GOP that I’d prefer someone with a real conservative stance next time.
I haven’t decided yet how to vote, If it’s close…my states “all or nothing” delegation could swing things, so I have to wait and see, but to vote McCain just to give him a popular mandate, I won’t do it.
He may “listen” to hostile opinions, but his record doesn’t recognize that he gives them any credence.

I stopped reading Malkin and a bunch of other “conservative” bloggers quite a while ago. Their hysteria is too much like the left’s. Fortunately the extremes of both wings are in the minority.
