...Ronald Reagan democrat, I was all for McCain in 2000 until the unfortunate effects of the Republican Party's upper echelon sank his efforts. But the traits that made me admire McCain's Straight Talk Express in 2000 are no longer apparent today. He lost my respect when he made a Faustian bargain to get the vote of his party's base, abandoning his critiques of the Iraq war and Jerry Falwell. I doubt independents will support him.

Of course, every argument can be reduced to comparisons with Hitler; most people just have the integrity and good sense not to do so. I would imagine that the Nazis enjoyed hunting, but I have not yet heard even the most dyed-in-the-wool liberals use this fact as an argument...
...vacate my seat, you may ask, if I take issue with your style, substance and mission to fracture the Republican Party? The reason is simple: leaving the talk would have meant giving up a rare opportunity to peer into the bottom of the American political barrel and the outright perversion of dialogue and the English language. Note that I didn’t stay because I was outraged or secretly thrilled by your audacious accusations and asides; the experience was more like staring at a car wreck. I don’t know, Ms. Coulter, if you thought...
