If Tea Party activists are unhappy with President Barack Obama, it would have been a lot worse under President John McCain, Tom Tancredo declared Thursday in opening remarks at the convention in Nashville, Tenn.

You were saying ...

Hey, ST ... we're talking about Tom Tancredo here. The only clues he's interested in are those that aid his hunger for self-promotion.

Ahhh... okay, I get it now... :-)

I've been trying to think of a worse Republican to have, for a Republican Administration -- than Obama... sorry, I can't come up with one... LOL...

Take your pick.  There's a whole bunch of them.  Many of them voted for the stimulus bill.  Conservatives too.

Policy-wise, McCain is no different.

I’m not glad McCain/Palin lost the election, by no means. But since they did, this is the perfect opportunity to clean house and get our ducks in line.

There are some heads that need to roll. While we organize to get rid of Pelosi, and Reid, and Specter, we need to remember to give McCain the attention he sorely deserves. This is the guy who gave us McCain-Feingold, which is the law that elected Soros king of America. For that he needs to go home in disgrace.

I’m sorry, but there’s just no way that McCain can match up to Obama... that will never fly with me... :-)

He would have been a great president.

Yeah... if there was only one issue in the country to solve... the immigration issue... LOL...

Not my fault you refuse to deal in reality.

Not to worry, I’m sure the RNC can find one without your help, although they may still need the DNC and open primaries to get him/her/it onto the November ballot.

There was tacit support for McCain, but everyone knows that he would not have tried to advance as Leftist an agenda as Barry has in 1 year.

Yes, it's true... but it's also true that "a little bit less leftist than the other guy" is the same pile-of-crap agenda that the Republican party's been pushing for years, and it's just not going to cut it any longer.

Well, anyone that can say that McCain matches up to Obama in his policies and how he would govern... that’s off in fantasy land...

Obama might as well be the Antichrist (even though he’s technically not...)...

Techinically in the short term it wouldnt have been worse. Long term..probably. For the reasons cited here.

Yes, I am glad McCain lost. Doesn’t mean I’m happy Obama won, but it doesn’t have to one or the other.

Obama is not just a Leftist, he’s outright ANTI-American. McCain may be wrongheaded on policy but he is not outwardly against this nation nor does he see it to be the source of all evils in the world for the past 200 years.

They certainly won't be getting my help to get that kind of candidate in office. If I identify one, it will be for the purposes of who not to vote for... :-)

And since you bring it up, and for the record... I think the primaries should not be open and should only be for the party itself. :-)

“Obama is the poster child — he may very well make the biggest contribution to the conservative movement since Jimmy Carter.”

Ding, ding ding! We have a winner!

The Tea Party was started by Ron Paul supporters. Libertarians.

Hello Chief!

True, but "MY" Tea Parties and the Tea Party Nation really took hold with Rick Santelli's announcement!

*sigh* And therein lies the bigest difference between them. McCain's road is paved with good intentions.

What? Proof that he is -- or -- that he is not the Antichrist.

And if you're talking about the "proof" that he is... you know that's going to take going over what the Bible says about the characteristics of the one who is called the Antichrist in the Bible...

Now, I can go over that, but I sorta doubt that this is what people on this thread are interested in going over (although it's a very interesting topic to me and I've gone over it in the religion threads... :-) ...)
