Yes, I think holding their nose they’re going to have to take him

Steve Scully: This is a political question in terms of how he gets the nomination, but just from what you have seen, how much support do you think he has among the base of the Republican Party?
Roberta McCain: I don’t think he has any. I don’t know what the base of the Repub–maybe I don’t know enough about it, but I’ve not seen any help whatsoever.
Scully: So can he then go on and become the nominee of this party?
McCain: Yes, I think holding their nose they’re going to have to take him.
Scully: Can you explain?
McCain: Well, everything they’ve done and said. … Now I’m really popping off, but he worked like a dog to get Bush re-elected. …He’s backed Bush in everything except Rumsfeld. Have you heard other senators and congressmen backing Bush over eight years? Find me it–give me a name. I’ve not seen any public recognition of the work that he’s done for the Republican party.

“Transcript of Roberta McCain on C-SPAN (Says son hasn’t any support among GOP base)”
She’s right.
“Yes, I think holding their nose they’re going to have to take him”
OUCH! Strange comment comming from mama.
His mother is still alive? What is she, about 105? ;)
Dear Roberta:
Actions have consequences.
Your son has done much to sabotage the conservative cause in this country. Much.
straight shootin maw
Yes, I think holding their nose they’re going to have to take him
There is a logic to the argument she makes. She is saying that because my son held his nose when he supported Jorge, now the Republican base should hold its nose and support my son.
You are so right . She gets it that her son has a sense that it is owed to him . At least Juan comes from a strong gene pool .
95 in 2007
Hold my nose? Like *&%$^#* #$%% I'm holding my nose and "taking him".
PING!
Mother knows best.
She’s obviously smarter than her son since she’s able to recognize this.
No, she’s wrong. The GOP helped him promote amnesty.

“(Says son hasn’t any support among GOP base)”
What do you think the operative two words are in that sentence?
Had your son done what the foolish people of Arizona elected him to do, I would have been able to sit in my warm living room and watch the debate, instead I was out in the cold sitting on the border, your son insisted on keeping open.
Just because I hold an office in the County Republican Party doesn't mean I have to help your son get elected so I can continue to sit on the border. I hate to tell you, if he is the nominee I'll do what I've been doing for years when he was on the ballot, VOTE LIBERTARIAN.
I remember when Keating was asked publicly if his contributions had influenced the senators, he said: “I should certainly hope so.”
[if his contributions had influenced the senators]
AND the Clintons too - those nice free rides to the Bahamas, etc. Wonder what Bubba gave him?
Too bad we don’t get more honest answers from ‘contributers’, lol.
His disgraceful dealings with the POW/MIA issue, and what he did to the families of same is enough to sour any American, Veteran or not, from EVER allowing him to be our nominee for CIC!
Can the drive by media leave a 95 year old woman alone???
She’ll be 96 on February 7, 2008. Don’t forget to send her a nice birthday card.
Not completely straight - he bashed Bush every chance he got!
No matter what I think of McCain, for his mother to say some of this stuff just isn’t right.
I'm predicting MeCain will give Conservatives & Republicans and Rush Limbaugh the finger one last time as he will accept the Democrat nominee's Vice President invitation.
Mama’s got it right....he lost any shred of support from me after reading the facts in Coulter’s last column.
I wonder if Mama McCain will be holding her nose too when voting for her son. Some vote of confidence from her.
OK I’ll bite
Who are you people inclined to vote for then?
I’m filling out my ballot today (absentee).
Mama McCain is right on.
