Want a repeat of '06? Serve up McCain/Rudy/Condi/Romney and watch it happen.
He wants to attack the Second Amendment too, with his disingenuous "Gun Show Loophole" bill. I fully expect him to propose further legislation that knocks down all the rest of the items in the Bill of Rights, "Let Soldiers Come In From The Rain" act, that stipulates how soldiers are to be quartered in houses in times of peace, and "Untie The Hands Of Law Enforcement" which would allow unreasonable, warrantless searches of dwellings for any reason, or for no reason, etc. McCain scares me.
You know I am thinking what we might need is someone to Steele our resolve and return us to the Merry Land of conservatism.
You can't trust him. He'd just as soon be the Democrat President at the GOP. He just wants to be President.
McCain might make a poster boy for all the reasons to keep a man away from the Presidency. He does all he can to stick his thumb in the eyes of conservatives. Then when he wants to run for something he brags about how conservative he is. If there is a prominent Republican who has earned rejection, it's McCain.
>Based on polling data, McCain is usually described as the front-runner.< IOW The MSM's pick for GOP, not ours.
No one held subject to communist indoctrination for years
should have a place in our government and that includes the Senate.
bumped and bookmarked.
In the end I find McCain to be a pretty decent guy.
He does not, however, make the grade for presidential material.
1) He doesn't land anywhere on a political scale. Not Liberal. Not Conservative. Not Middle of the road. He is an odd mixture of conservative and liberal ideologies. In the end people will look at the ones they disagree with as reason not to go to the polls and vote.
2) He has a high propensity toward self-serving behaviour. (i.e. He stands behind the pres when it suites him and abandons him freely when it doesn't)
3) Temper temper.
4) Too old.
5) He's an "also ran" from the past and that seldom sits well with voters.
6) His prolife stance (though stances were mentioned above) is by itself a problem. The conservative base IS NOT going to come out without a good reason and that means a prolife candidate!
From the week of April 29, 2006 wjen Mc Insane 'appeared' on the Imus show.
Quote McInsane:
""He [Michael Graham] also mentioned my abridgement of First Amendment rights, i.e. talking about campaign finance reform... I know that money corrupts... I would rather have a clean government than one where 'quote' First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."
Everyone got that, 'quote' First Amendment Rights.
So acording to McInsane 'we' have...
The Beast doesn't even hold the Constitution in such contempt.
The answer is No, No, a thousand times No.
I'm positive I read that members of Arizona's republican party tried to get the (R) removed from behind McCain's name.
Does anyone else remember reading that?
