Just think about what her picks for the Supreme Court might be like.

McCain's would be just as bad - think the "Republican" Souter who votes consistently with Ginsburg.

A 3rd Party (rumored to be McCain backed) person took Oklahoma to court about our closed primaries. SCOTUS ruled last month that Oklahoma has every right to keep their closed primary system. We will not have an open primary and any State wishing to go back to a closed primary has every right now with the SCOTUS ruling. This was a major ruling that went unnoticed by the media except here in OK.

So, if it's McCain v Clinton, what are you going to do?

Vote Perot.

Even Mccain is better that piaps. I would hold my nose but I would vote for him if it came to that.
Frankly I rather liked McKinnon. I loved the ad where he was playing the song "don't stop thinking about tomorrow" (clinton theme) then the scratch across the record and then "we won't go back again!!!"
hahahaha!

Two words -- Executive Orders! Amazing how fast all of you forget those two words -- Clinton ran the Government with use of Executive Orders and after they are on the books, it takes years to get them off.

Don't be fooled -- if Hillary wins, it will be a Dem landslide and we will not control the House or even maybe the Senator or in such a small number that some will cross the aisle.

Hillary counts on people like you that say we know she is the enemy -- I don't want either one of them near FBI or CIA files again or be able to destroy out military infrastructure like Clinton did and left us vulnerable to 9-11. In 1994 we elected a Republican House and a Republican Senate so what does Clinton do -- went to governing with those "Executive Orders" -- short memory around here these days.

"It is not going to be McCain if we all get organized in our states as Conservatives and go out and defeat him in each of our primaries."


That's right! The primaries come first. That's the time to get busy!

McC's already attacking the Swift Boat Vets for Truth.

If they get after him early and often during the primary McC will NOT be the candidate.

If the objection to Jeb is that the country wouldn't stand for a third member of the Bush family, I'd take George Herbert Walker Bush in 2008 over John McCain. (He'd be 84 on election day, but he's got good genes...his mother lived into her 90s.)

Question: "So, if it's McCain v. Clinton what are you going to do?"

Answer: Wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and see which hand fills up first.

Since I never liked McKinnon as an ad person, I am not surprised at this -- never trusted him either...

Reminds me of that old saying about how a man known by the company he keeps.

Mark McKinnon ... has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid.

McKinnon - one of the president's closest friends and confidants and a frequent mountain biking companion - met with the Arizona Republican over lunch this spring in the Senate dining room to discuss his support...

McCain won't win the Republican nomination, so Hillary will find a way to have her backers goad him into running as a third-party candidate, allowing her to win the same way her husband did...

Well I am hoping that Hillary loses in 2006 then she won't be able to run in 2008. (But that's not going to happen.) I would stay home rather than vote for Hillary.

Vote for Michael Moriarty who is launching his Realist party next year. http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0605/0605moriartypresident.htm Moriarty, who is writing weekly for enter stage right, is one actor who did what the Alec Baldwins of the world said they would. Disgusted with Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, he moved to British Columbia where he has worked in Canadian conservative politics.

Stay home (which I never do!). If that is the best the Republican Party can come up with they don't want my vote to begin with. So they won't get it!

Sorry, but I will vote for McCain (not in the primary) if it keeps Hillary out of the White House.

Not this cat...What if Kerry switched parties...Would you vote for him to keep Hillary out of the White House??? Not me...
