This is gonna be great!

Just in the last few days, when it seems like John McCain will be the anointed candidate of the GOP, it seems that he doesn't appeal to some of the right's minions. Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter have each said that they would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than McCain. Rush Limbaugh says this signals the demise of the Republican Party. The National Review staff is in a tizzy.

It seems that they think that McCain is not conservative enough. They don't like that he doesn't want to deport all the brown people that are here cutting our lawns, working at McDonalds, processing our meats and produce. How far towards Joe McCarthy do you have to be to please these bloviating harpies?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of McCain. There was a time, back before the 2000 election, when I really respected him, and could have even voted for him. Then, Karl Rove and his evil minions started push polling in the SC primary, calling up potential voters, and asking them loaded "survey" questions. Ones that suggested that he had an illegitimate black child and that his wife was an addict. I don't know about you, but I would have totally went after anyone who smeared my family like that. Instead, he ends up endorsing Bush, and later embraces him publicly. Now, McCain is little more than Bush without the mispronunciations, total policy suckup to W. Some TV commentators recently characterized McCain's platform as "less jobs, more war."

So, anyway, sit tight and fasten your seatbelt, it's gonna be a bumpy ride for the GOP. (Not that I'm complaining...)

Pass the popcorn, please...


Schadenfreude, anyone?
