WTH? Earning Points?
By Erick Posted in Blogosphere — Comments (105) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
Thanks to Michelle Malkin for pointing this out.
Feel free to say nice things about John McCain, but if you are doing it to accumulate points of some kind, I'd appreciate it if you disclose that fact.
Do you really need points to say something nice?
UPDATE: (krempasky) To make this easier, feel free to just cut and paste.

I just had to laugh at that. I *knew* we were in for problems putting that up yesterday.
Sadly, I couldn't get Mary Jo Kopeckne on the phone for advice on how to handle that one.
I don't think they're givin' out nothin'. I think the publicity has brought their server down.

John McCain will put the national interest ahead of partisanship, he will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. If John McCain is elected President, the era of the permanent campaign will end. The era of problem solving will begin. Read More..

McCain better gear the hell up to fight a real campaign and get off this "honorable campaign" crap as if the Republicans haven't had one before. The sooner he starts dumping people who refuse to fight Obama, the sooner we can actually try to win because ads like this aren't going to get any nicer or less convincing.
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
did a hit piece on Susan Collins up here in Maine! The Tom Allen Campaign Committee foisted it on a local TV Station that aired it as a legitimate news story. Here's the piece(note the attribution to Brave New Films at 1:12):
And 4 minutes into it is a beautiful little piece of work. I wonder if anyone had to pay for that time.
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
a blind eye when it comes to liberals but an eye nontheless!
Why would the Dems be putting this much effort into defeating Susan Collins? Isn't she already almost a Democrat herself?
Incidentally, I think she sounds a lot more sensible than does Allen. He's realy a doofus by raising an issue that she can refute and point out his failure to vote on it. But I guess one must try anything that might stick when attempting to unseat a long-time incumbent Senator.

I come back over here and see you have beaten me to the punch...points..what are they thinking? and oh by the way now when someone says something "nice" we will have to wonder if they are trying to earn some McCain points...how really pathetic.

does this mean they can't get enough people to post nice things about him without paying them in some way?
I think it's more about getting spinners on the cheap...no need to pay a big dollar spinner like Andy Card if you can get people to read your cue cards for pennies on the dollar!

I'd have anything good to say about him, with or without points.
Not ONE THING good? Not ONE SINGLE THING good to say about him? Wow. You might want to get that checked; it appears to be malignant.
He's a war hero, that I appreciate. Can't think of one thing since that. I remember the good ol' days when he was a RedState pariah too.

How about:
He's the least objectionable Democrat still running.
He s*cks less than the other candidates.
Those qualify?
Do I get points taken away if I don't say nice things?
If I have negative points at the end of the round, do I owe McCain money?
I am not a part of McCain's blog, nor are any of my comments or blogs here to score points or gain in anyway except intellectual intercourse with people who are (hopefully) a bit to the right of center.
Independence is Freedom. Dependence is Slavery.
I guess that's one way out of the fund-raising difficulties...
I need no further incentive to say nice things about Mac, and this idea is nuts.
I'm not a big McCain fan. Never REALLY have been.
He has been slated as a "Maverick" for the same reason that Zell Miller was branded a "Turncoat Backstabbing Traitor" . . . he went against his party often. Except, with McCain, he sided WITH the Dems, so the media treats him well. (and will do so until the Obama/Hillary mess get sorted out. We've only seen a few signal flares fired with these stories about McCain being too old, or not qualified because he is a disabled Vet.... Once the Dem nominee is sorted, the wagons will circle and the hatefest will begin anew.)
He has a few good feathers in his cap, and under a repubican (conservative republican) congress, he might do well. However, with a democrat congress, I see him 'reaching across the aisle' (I.e., giving in) far too many times to do us much good as a Republican voice.
Independence is Freedom. Dependence is Slavery.
There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences between the candidates. And we will argue about them, as we should. But it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other.

McCain has never been part of the Conservative cause. He's ridiculed us and is only interested now because he'd like to be President. No thanks.
points do I get?

No, John McCain is not a conservative but do you think B. Hussein Obama is??? I intend to vote for McCain and go home and puke, BECAUSE I cannot bring myself to do anything(like not vote or vote for some Perot type 3rd party) that might give the presidency to a Marxist and Obama is absolutely a Marxist

Nobody accused you of anything.
Malkin and Coulter are NATIONAL figures that people pay attention to on a daily basis.
We are in the general election for all practical purposes. We all need to heed our Mama's advice and stay silent, or at the least quiet and private with our criticisms.
You may not like McCain, but he is our ugly baby. And we are going to like him a whole lot better than the other ugly baby.
We aren't going to beat Barack complaining about McCain.

They both lack (this is just my opinion, nothing more) class. You can lump 'populist' blowhard Bill O'Reilly in there as well.
A partial list of conservative commentators I do like:
Thomas Sowell
Michael Medved
Michael Reagan
Rich Galen
Walter E. Williams
Jonah Goldberg
David Limbaugh
Rich Lowry
Byron York
Charles Krauthammer
Brent Bozell
I'm sure that I'm leaving plenty of people out of both lists. You like who you like, I like who I like - I don't understand why people get upset about who likes which columnists.

You don't limit your opinion to being a matter of taste as you (actually I don't recall reading you railing on Coulter much, so consider this a general "you") as you mention a lack of class and self-aggrandizement as characteristics of conservatives I like. I personally think your list, while all reasonable (at first glance), are largely very boring. I of course enjoy reading Thomas Sowell and David Limbaugh because as a matter of taste they don't bore me, but the majority of your list is boring. Boring hardly keeps a movement alive. I don't know that your list contains anyone whose audience had any significance in getting the amnesty bill shutdown.
Now I got my ideological problems with O'Reilly, and I don't like the way he or Hannity "debate" (it's largely debateable if either of them understand how to have a back and forth conversation), but I don't generally start writing them off as "gone". They have their style, I don't enjoy it, I buy something else. But the accusations of "gone" (some I could mention like Savage really are) is just the sort of "I'm afraid they'll make us all look bad by the liberal's standards" type of PC stuff I can't stand. Now, if I'm wrong that you aren't just trying to distance us all because "they'll make us all look bad", then does it come down to you actually believing you know their motives (like self-aggrandizement)?
I personally think Coulter's comments are quite witty and also acceptable discourse. I don't fear what people think of us because of what she says, I fear what people think of us if we let the left define the conversation so that her perfectly acceptable words become "wrong".
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
I don't find any of the people he listed as boring, especially Medved and Krauthammer. On the other hand I am bored to tears with Coulter, because I know exactly what talking point or cheap shot will next leave her mouth on any given subject.
Limbaugh has become much the same way, (but funnier, and not as nasty). I have heard him enough so that there is no mystery on what he is going to say on any subject. Maybe it's familiarity breeds contempt.

"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
I don't know that your list contains anyone whose audience had any significance in getting the amnesty bill shutdown.
See, that subject is important to you, it's not to me. So when I see people getting off their rocker on it, I just tune out.
To be fair, I don't even read much from those people I cited. I don't have any of them bookmarked. I'm not a regular "column-reading" type of guy.

My point was that they have influence in keeping conservative ideas alive and working. The boring guys (yes, it may be a matter of opinion) who simply don't have the audience may be nice as personal entertainment, but they aren't nearly as helpful to the cause.
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
I can see that. I'm not sure that in the long run it's effective (short term is can be very effective).

"If we want to take this party back, and I think we can someday, let’s get to work." – Barry Goldwater
Our nominee is no longer a "Maverick" he's the establishment!
Conservatives are "Mavericks" now and we're being treated as such!
Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, Coulter, Malkin, and anyone else that dares to do as the one time "Maverick" has done and differ with the establishment are nothing more than troublemakers who must be discredited and crushed despite all the work they've done to advance the Republican Party in the past!

She's gotten less thoughtful and more angry. But her readers like it, so it's hard to blame her.

"If we want to take this party back, and I think we can someday, let’s get to work." – Barry Goldwater
I find it mildly amusing (not actually ironic) the way that people who complain about Republicans changing from '1994 ideals' have themselves exhibited behavior they would have been sickened by 4 years ago. Malkin isn't like that all the time, her article at NR on Barack's gaffes is a good one. When it comes to immigration, however, she's pretty unhinged.

She had been one of the most instrumental voices along with NumbersUSA getting that travesty of a bill killed...on her site in her opeds on FOX news...perhaps you are for some form of amnesty but Michelle Malkin is not and neither are a large majority of people....she is passionate not unhinged....Michelle Malkin had to move because some leftist site put her address in VA out there because of her CONSERVATIVE ideals...she has been most vocal about jihad and works along with Jawa and Ace of Spades and many military bloggers to make sure the information of arrested plotters and planners gets noticed because the MSM sure isn't going to tell you.....remember the Goosecreek jihadi's who just had "fireworks" in their trunk? the government said "not terrorism" in the first hours but she didn't buy it and stayed on the story and guess what they were plotting to attack a military base and you never saw that in the MSM and she NEVER lets a Democrat get away with their lies and calls them on it.
This "unhinged" woman even had a Pray for Ted Kennedy diary yesterday. I think that speaks to her kindness.
Michelle Malkin deserves all due respect for all the hard work she has done...she is no Ann Coulter but than the Republican college kids love her so her career won't be over anytime soon either.
Have you read her book Unhinged? because if you did you would see she is no where near "unhinged".

If it were just YOUR opinion it wouldn't matter...but there is a concerted effort on that is wearing really thin that is attacking lifelong Republicans because they refuse to stay silent while their Conservative ideals are trashed by our "Maverick" Candidate!
Malking speaks for a huge swath of the Party as do Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Ingraham and others who are refusing to bow at the alter of St. John! I understand the tactic...McCain supporters want to win...but how do you win by destroying the voices that have done more to advance the Republican Party and the Conservative ideals the Republican Party used to represent?

Sorry, I'm just now getting back to this thread. Where was I? Oh yeah, with Malkin, I just don't care, I made an off-hand comment about her and that was it. If I went into detail about why I didn't like her, then I guess I'd be open to your accusation. Columnists don't build the party nearly as much as the actual men* in the arena.

If you're not part of the effort to discredit and smear Conservatives then obviously this doesn't apply to you.

I don't much care if you care about me but the fact is...the Party needs all of us to do our parts and Malkin has a place as do the others I've mentioned. It's pathetic to see the smears that are happening to people who have done more to advance Conservative/Republican principles, ideals, and fortunes than most can claim.

It's that sound make when you shrug your shoulders and indicate with a verbally that you just don't care. As far as I can tell it's an internet thing like "snark".
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
then I'd agree. I never was as hard right as Malkin on immigration. Don't get me started on that though. I'll be deluged with accusations of being a leftist on immigration.
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
but immigration is not her only subject and I hardly think she is "gone" over one subject.
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
on NR was awesome! This is where I wish she would put her energy.
as for her immigration stuff, I agree with a lot of what she says, but I don't think she is doing a very good job of convincing others with her sarcasm and snark.
Same with Ann. Both are pretty darn smart. But they aren't so great with stating our case to the opposition in a way that would win friends and influence enemies.
I see us in a battle for the hearts and minds of Americans right now. When we get down to it, this country is center-right. But the dems are whipping us because they are better at getting out their message.
Don't get me wrong, I love a street fighter when needed. I just don't think continually pounding on McCain is the kind of street fighting Malkin needs to be doing right now.
How's that for a muddled reply?
Just a typical, small town, white girl...
At the same time I think it's important to recognise that we do need our own cheerleaders to get those on our side fired up when we have to be, and also it's good to have them around to preach to the choir to keep the goal posts firmly planted whenever the libs try to move them. How's that for mixing metaphors?
"Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em. I'm a whale biologist."
You have a point when it comes to their sarcasm...and it's not for everybody...I couldn't take a steady diet of it which is why they aren't talk show hosts...but they have their place. Sometimes it takes getting slapped in the face to wake you up to a truth that's been right there in front of you for a long time. Coulter and Malkin have an abrasive style and a way of slapping people when stating the obvious which can serve to wake people up and bring them along...
Those that criticize them would never go along with them anyway and we have calmer voices in the movement to bring those along who are offended by the sarcasm but can be persuaded.

Back to the real world:
Given the option, which would you rather have determining where this country goes?
Barack Obama, the man the myth the legend in his handler's minds?
Or
John McCain, the real deal.
If you say there is a third option and you are going to sit out the election, or you are going to keep harping on conservative this and conservative that, then you need a reality check.
One of those two are going to be running this country. There is nothing you can do to change your choices. (Unless you get Hillary to replace Barack, which is like just flipping the toast.)
You can known McCain all you want but it makes no difference. And literally... as we approach the general election, the liberals are watching this site, they are waiting for quotes, they are doing what they can to harm McCain's election and if you are helping them, then the comment about supporting Obama is a default condition.
Please get real . This is not a game. This is our country at stake and there is literally NO ROOM for people who won't take the side of reality, instead opting to create their own, regardless of the consquences.

McCain better have a platform I like--cause this time I'm voting my convictions even if it hurts us in the election. As we learned last time around--the lesser of two evils still is pretty bad. Fortunalty I think McCain has the opportunity to be a fantastic president, and with the right VP choice ensure a successor to the WhiteHouse and groom him for the job (unlike Bush did with old man Cheny)
If you're not going to vote for McCain, tell us who you're voting for and why.

I like McCain on a lot of issues. I think he's good on foreign policy and the most qualified candidate for the war. He is good on the tax cuts too--it's just that the GO14 make me wonder how Pro-life Pro-social-con he is when we had a chance of pulling the Nuclear option and forcing through the Judge we wanted.
But if he can speak well enough on these topics, then he'll get my vote--if not I'll use my vote as an opportunity to remind my party not to forget us social-cons or take our vote for granted. If this might give me a Social conservative candidate 8 years down the road, then it may be worth suffering the worse of two evils temporarily.
But like I said hopefully McCain will come out strong on these topics and my conscience will be a non-issue

Niel, with all due respect, it's not about being bothered to vot...I will vote down ticket, I might vote for McCain depending on how he runs the rest of this campaign, Its about believing in something. It's about whether a McCain victory would really be good for the Party and more importantly with what we believe.
and before you start with the tripe about the damage that will be done if Obama wins, let me ask you this. Did McCain stop to think about the Damage he was doing with the Gang of 14? Did he worry about the damage he was doing by pushing McCain Fiengold? Did he stop to think about the damage he was doing when he pushed for amnesty? is he thinking about the damage he'll do by pushing for Cap and Trade legislation and supporting the taxes that will be included in that legislation? Is he worrying about the damage he'll do by pushing for health care reform complete with unfunded mandates on the state, regulation of insurance companies, federal subsidies for "The Poor"?
McCain hasn't lost my vote but he's managed to put me back on the fence recently and acting like he doesn't have any fences to mend doesn't do him, or the Party any favors!

Will probably convince me to vote for him if he comes out strong on Social issues and backpeddals a bit on GO14 and his immigration and health ideas, But giving him money??
