A Phone Call Can Make All The Difference

This is simply absurd. And reading it from informed Right-side pundits is, frankly, embarrassing. Mona Charen and John Miller, both at NRO. McCain programmed a robocall on voting day - oh, he may give a conciliatory speech at CPAC tomorrow?? As I know these people aren't stupid, I can only assume they think we are. We get it, folks. It's save the GOP time. I suppose the next time Ron Popeil hits you with a robocall, you'll both run out and buy some Ginsu carving knives, too. Why not wait a week, maybe he'll toss in the Vege-Slicer and Dicer, for free? Good grief.

John, I too just got the McCain robocall and it seemed particularly aimed at conservatives. McCain promises to be a small government conservative who will appoint conservative justices, respect life, do border enforcement before any other immigration reform, and win the war on terror. Nary a word about global warming or Guantanamo. He "humbly" asks for our votes. If this is a hint of what is coming at CPAC, it suggests that McCain's famous vanity is not getting the better of him this time. He seems to be willing to meet conservatives more than halfway.

Miller: Here at home in Virginia (GOP primary: next Tuesday), I just received a John McCain robocall. He promised to lower taxes, fight spending, and defend life. He promised to "secure the border" (specifically, I think he said "secure the border first"). He also promised to nominate judges "like Justices Alito and Roberts." He concluded by saying that he's the best candidate to fight the war on terror.

Many of you probably have received these calls already. This was my first from McCain and it was well done.

i think mccain should impress upon them how often he will use the veto pen. he's an impressive hawk against pork barrel spending.

I liked the robocall I got from Bill Clinton on election day, even though I'm not a registered voter in the state where I received the call. But I got a good laugh anyway. Old Bill is back in the game, boys!

"Nary a word about Global Warming and Guantanamo"

That's becasue he wasn't calling upon voters in New Hampshire.

In any case, all his Straight Talk does is give me a headache so they only way I will know if McCain is meeting Conservatives halfway is if he selects a quality Conservative VP (not named Huckabee because he already has the social conservatives or Lieberman because he already has the moderate/independents)

The calls are much appreciated by the level-headed conservatives. We look forward to working with McCain to help make this country better.

I just got a robocall from McCain too.It kind of ran like this."Hi-I'm John McCain.As we speak I am trying to raise my arms above my head.You will remember why I can't-right jerk?And as you do you will realize that it's okay that I co-sponsored every recent piece of important liberal legislation in the last 10 years-because I can't raise my arms over my head!And you know I really did hear from you jerks loud and clear about that amnesty thing-and it wasn't effing amnesty.So I am going to secure the border before I let all those illegals become citizens-except for any of them that may be gooks.Grrrrr!I hate gooks,and do you know why-because I can't raise my arms above my head you jerk.Oh and as for raising your taxes-well I want to make those effing Bush tax cuts for the effing rich permanent.Seems my future running mate already has the Walmart Republicans in the bag,so I'm reaching out to you Wall Steet ones as well.And finally I just want you to know I'm going to appoint real conservative judges-just as long as they don't wear it on their effing sleeves,and I can convince the rest of my Gang or posse-I'm getting a little old now and I can't remember if I'm the Sheriff or the Gang Leader.Anyway I have to make sure these judges are okay with my other 13 liberal pals in theSenate.Oh yeah-I sure hope you can walk to the polls,It will be a tad too expensive for you to drive once I jam that 50 cent a gallon gas tax down your effing gas guzzling,anti-tree hugging throat.Grrrr-sure want your vote-jerk!

I received the McCain robocall on Saturday. It was certainly all the things Cons would like to hear from a nominee. Unfortunately, it didn't sound sincere coming from McCain.

My robo-call from Johnny Mac went something like this:

"Hey Jerk! I know you probably voted for that whacky Mormon, but I handed him his *** on a platter! Tough nuggies for you, you reactionary conservative. Now you have no choice but to support me in the general election.

Yup, I'm friggin in-ev-ee-ta-bulllll, and I'm LOVING it.

That's right, you get to watch me shove a size 15 up your tailpipe while I rub Ted Kennedy's fat greasy shoulders to get as many cheap workers from the south end of the NAU. I'll probably think of more ways to stick it to you poor dumb shmoes, and what's more is you'll vote for me anyway, because of ya don't - you'll be p****** on the graves of soldiers when you cause Hillary or that black guy to get elected.

Have a nice day, and don't forget to vote for me in November, you insignificant jerk!"

Oh yeah, I'm enthused.
