McCain is arguably worse than Huckabee. No humane treatment for law breakers besides “polite” detention and expulsion. No support for the Global Warming insanity. Why does this country need McCain? There are plenty of people who understand the Islamic threat. We don’t need someone who lies about being the inventor of the surge. I’m sick of this guy and his supporters. At least the one-issue evangelicals who support the idiot Huck do so because that’s all they care about. And no bipartisanship. Nothing but political war with Nancy Peolosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. Nobody need the Kennedy-loving McCain who also loves to co-sponsor bills with Barack Obama. These animals have the blood of American soldiers on their hands by giving the Islamic nuts encouragement and impeding the war. No real hero would cooperate with the traitors. He truly is a Manchurian Candidate with the Stockholm syndrome.

CentFla, I live in phoenix, would you like to bet, if he is not nominated, doesn’t get reelected to the Senate. I predict he retires because he knows he would lose.

no Mike, am not saying MOVEON, I agree with McCain’s positions on Campaign Finance and taxes, spending, abortion, gay marriage etc. I am a conservative. I believe that Bush is not a conservative with his lip service and non support of abortion issues, his growth of the government, his unchecked spending and other issues. Is Bush as Conservative to you?

I believe that if you vote for whomever the party throws up there then you are not a Conservative but will change your views to match whomever the party wants you to vote for. If I do not change my beliefs to match the party and vote for a Mitt or Rudy how can you call me anything but consistant?

How can a conservative vote for either of those two with their records?

Centfla: Back to your first comment here. It sounds a lot like the “Moveon” defense…. All those things McCain did are in the past so MOVEON.

But they represent a clear record on issues where his judgement is called into question.

No WAY do I intend to overlook them.

And while I would vote for McCheese if he’s the nominee, the fact that you can’t make your pledge to support the nominee without qualification undermines any credibility you have.

Are you a Republican and a Conservative or just a McCainiac?

whelp dang…

I posted a long reply a couple of hours ago or so and do not see it here, I must have deleted it rather than “sending” it. I would try and redo it but I am whipped from cleaning out the garage today…

I posted several organizations that have McCain graded as a middle of the road Conservative Senator. He is my guy on Taxes, Spending, experience, security, foriegn policy, and so many other things. There is no one that can come close to his back ground and preparedness for this job and no one has his commitment to service for this country in either party running for President.

Frankly the complaints about his record are silly except for his views on Immigration. I get your frustration on that position. I agree with him on that issue as well. Anyone that votes against McCain because of McCain-Feingold or Mc/Lieberman are being (IMO) vindictive because of his votes against the GOP establishment.

The GOP has changed a lot in the last twenty years, John McCain has not and neither have I.

I love you guys, love this awesome site, I am a big Tent Guy.

And no, I would not vote for Hillary for butt wiper at Folsom Prison. I would vote for anyone on the Ticket but Guiliani and Mitt. They are both nothing but smoke and make-up again, in my opinion. Either of them could set our party back further than GWB.
Sorry for my verbousness. My wife gets on me about that too…

Curt I am just surprised that John McCain is receiving this kind of wrath and as I have said many times I believe that on blogs he is generally most vilified for not falling in lock step with this president – which of course I am great with.

He is a conservative Senator whether anyone wants to believe it or not.

It is just wrong to pick these silly issues being banded about like Campaign Finance or McC-Leiberman for crying out loud (real Pelosiesque ring to that colalition).

I fully understand the opposition to his immigration stance; I just think you guys are wrong on that issue. But the rest of these issues in my mind are not as important as his positions on the economy, taxes, security, spending and most importantly the end of partisanship. That is why we can win with McCain and why I think we WILL win with McCain. I also thought until yesterday that Thompson might be his running mate but I guess that is out now.

As for whom I will vote if McCain is not the candidate I would not vote for Hillary Clinton for @$$ wiper in Folsom Prison. If the GOP Candidate is Thompson I could still vote for him despite his irration desperation lately. Guiliani and Romney will force me to hope for a 3d party candidate again. I did not vote for W (did for his dad twice) and I was right then. I believe I am right now.

Perhaps you have all noticed, I am slightly opinionated and often without the luxury of knowing what I am talking about. I am sure that my post comes off incredibly egomaniacally, I hear it from the wife all the time.
