When Bush nominated Miers the Republican base rose up in protest and we got … Roberts. When a Democrat nominates the next Ginsberg, the Republican base will rise up and get … NOTHING.Mark K. writes:

This is as accurate a description of the Obama phenomenon that I’ve come across. A 7 minute video with Shelby Steele. When Steele says, “I don’t know who this man is,” I realized the same thing last night in the debate with Hillary. Why would anybody vote for a candidate whose policies are indefinite, who describes them in a halting manner, whose opponent dances rings around him when using facts and figures? Steele very nicely encapsulates the issue. This is about something else …Mark K. continues:
I have a confession to make … uh oh … how can I say it … ah me … how can I say it … well here goes … I would also vote for Hillary over McCain. She gives me that warm fuzzy feeling that neither Obama or McCain give me. If it isn’t Romney, then it’s Hillary. And with that hot dog (or is it dog in heat) roaming the White House puppy Bill, I feel the warm glow of family. Coulter is right. McCain is just an outright liar. I watched him at the debate two nights ago and I grew to detest him.LA writes:
I’ve re-posted this article on McCain the anti-white multiculturalist many times, but a reader has requested it again, so here it is.A reader writes:
Useful roundup of response to McC from conservatives and others. Grover Norquist pictured with a beard, has he gone far into Islam?Mark K. writes:
I noticed at the debate how McCain used a tactic of propaganda—keep repeating something whether it is true or false. He kept using the word “timetable” with respect to Romney’s purported statement that there should be a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Even the CNN moderator pointed out to McCain that Romney was referring to a timetable for Iraq’s takeover of all policing and military actions. Yet McCain persisted in saying that Romney’s statement was about US troop withdrawal.Howard Sutherland writes:
Re McCain: the anti-white, anti-American multiculturalist, I wrote the VDare letter discussed in that post, and it stands the test of (a short) time. McCain isn’t nuts because the Navy didn’t give him a flag; rather, I suspect that the Navy didn’t give him a flag because the selectors sensed he was seriously off-baseHoward Sutherland writes:
The British “conservative” broadsheet the Telegraph has drunk the McCain Kool-Aid, it seems. This is a very softball, sanitized account of the career of McQueeg/McInsane (take your pick).Howard Sutherland writes:
This VDARE article is worth reading! Good evisceration by Marcus Epstein of a new book by a hispanette flack who used to work for Bush touting the need for Republicans to hispander—and cast into outer darkness the Tancredos. This worries me, though: “John McCain, Newt Gingrich and (significantly) Mitt Romney endorsed the book with enthusiastic blurbs about the merits of Hispandering.”LA replies:
I’ve already pointed out many times that Romney is not good on the national question, but also that he has not shown any ideological passion for open borders. I don’t want to add more to the attack on him now, at this crucial moment. Can’t we prioritize, and handle the transcendent problem of McCain now, which would give us the leasure of dealing with the lesser problem of Romney later? If McCain wins, we won’t have the option of dealing with the Romney problem.American Cassandra writes:
