WASHINGTON -- Contrarian that I am, I'm voting for John McCain. I'm not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it's over before it's over. I'm talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they're left out in the cold without a ...

Krauthammer condemns "wet fingered conservatives"

I'm talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they're left out in the
cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.
I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe -- neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell),
genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) -- yelling "Stop!" I shall have no
part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I'd rather lose an ...
Krauthammer Makes The Case For McCain
The Atlantic Politics Channel —
The Great K writes: McCain the "erratic" is a cheap Obama talking point. The 40-year record testifies to McCain the stalwart. Nor will I countenance the "dirty campaign" pretense. The double
standard here is stunning. Obama ran a scurrilous Spanish-language ad
falsely associating McCain with anti-Hispanic slurs. Another ad falsely
claimed McCain supports "cutting Social Security benefits in half." And
for months Democrats insisted that McCain sought 100 years of war in
Iraq. McCain's critics are offended that he raised the issue of ...

Charles Krauthammer tries to refocus attention on national security issues:
The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.
This is a common conservative conceit ...

Krauthammer Pile-On
democracyarsenal.org —
... Never underestimate Charles Krauthammer - you may think you know how he feels, but then, all of sudden, he lurches into a hyperbolic rant that's completely inconsistent with his previous position. Case in point: today's squirm-inducing endorsement of John Mcain, principally for reasons of foreign policy, and intended to drive people into the voting booths and from there under their beads where they will remain, paralyzed with fear. Earlier this month, Krauthammer gave Barack Obama ...
