As much as I prefer Rudy Giuliani for President, I just can't fathom voting against McCain and giving the White House to Hillary. Hopefully, most Republicans will see the lesser of two evils when casting their vote.
How 'bout a Giuliani/McCain ticket (or vice versa) for Pres. & VP? Think Independents would come on board?
I don't mean to sound like a desperate Republican, but sometimes you've just gotta call it like it is. :o)
That would REALLY motivate the base...not.
This ought to be interesting.
Got asbestos?
Normally I hold your view, but in the case of McCain v Hillary, I see both as damaging the country just about equally.
I’d rather give my vote to Fred or Romney. Remaining true to the Conservative Ideals instead of selling out.
I had to wait until I was done throwing up.
I am not voting for ugly in the GOP anymore, ugly with no principle is not what I can stand.
Go Mitt.
And if Hillary loses to McCain, she can always run as a Republican next time.
I can't say it enough.
You know, sometimes folks got to see how bad it gets beefore they know they even need a cure. Think Jimmuh “the dumb” Carter.
The lack of a national leader for conservatives for so long has been bad. In Florida I voted for the RINO, and all I got was this “stop global warming” tee shirt. Don’t need two.
lol. true... she’ll out-republican him by a mile next cycle.
FRED THOMPSON is the best person to lead this country. He is a true conservative and has been his entire life. All one has to do is check his record to see this.
During my time in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst, I served under both Presidents Carter and Reagan (as my commanders in chief). Without argument, President Reagan was the best commander-in-chief a military person could ever have served under. Fred Thompson possesses the same qualities and vision as President Reagan in that he is strong on national defense and sees a dire need to secure our borders and control immigration.
I can think of no better person to lead this country and fix the problems we have. He is the only candidate from either party who has specific and detailed plans on border security and immigration reform; revitalization of America’s armed forces; saving and protecting Social Security; and tax relief and economic growth. These are detailed on his Web site at www.fred08.com . I challenge you to find any other candidate who has laid out specific plans to fix anything.
Fred Thompson has published his first principles, some of which are mentioned above. In addition to those, he strongly believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, federalism, traditional American values, the rule of law and is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment — all concepts established during the birth of our country and documented in our Constitution.
Again, try to find any candidate who has laid out their plans to “fix” this country. You will find they all speak in vague and abstract terms on their plans.
For those who have heard Fred Thompson speak, you will usually hear him say that the Fred Thompson you see today is the same Fred Thompson you saw yesterday and is the same Fred Thompson you will see tomorrow. He stands by his principles and values and doesn’t shift his positions based on polls or public opinion; in other words, he doesn’t say what the voters want to hear just to get elected, but remains steadfast on his views and convictions.
During his time in the Senate he focused on three areas: to lower taxes, strengthen national security and expose waste in the federal government. Fred Thompson has foreign policy experience, having served as member of the Senate Foreign Relations and Senate Intelligence committees.
As chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, he opened the investigation in 1997 on the Chinese government’s attempt to influence American policies and elections, and this investigation identified connections with the Clinton administration (documented in the committee’s report).
As a member of the Finance Committee, he worked tirelessly to enact three major tax-cut bills. Fred Thompson remains steadfast and even though a person may not agree with all his views and he understands some may disagree with him, you can count on him to be consistent and unwavering.
Don’t be fooled by his laid back approach and what critics call his “laziness.” As a former assistant U.S. attorney, he earned a reputation as a tough prosecutor and he possesses the toughness this country needs in order to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s issues.
I ask that you take a hard look at what this country needs, then take a hard look at all the other candidates’ views, policies, their records and their track record on consistency. Fred Thompson possesses integrity, loyalty, commitment, energy and decisiveness, all traits of an effective leader, and will emerge as the best person to take this country boldly forward.
Please help Fred win in 2008:

Romney will be a much, much more formidable opponent than McCain.
Seriously. He’s on a roll:
Romney has already won three times.
Romney is so far ahead in delagates, he’s got almost double his nearest competitor.
Romney is nice. People like him. And frankly, women find him attractive - and I’ve seen a number of (FR) women right here on these boards, saying they’ll vote for Romney, pretty much just for that reason.
He’s got strengths which play directly against democrats.
If hillary is the nominee - Romney makes strong inroads into hillary’s otherwise lock, on “soccer moms”.
If Osama-bama is the nominee - Osama-bama’s religious ambivalence is (way) more unsettling to voters, than Romney’s faith.
And Edwards just ain’t happening.
Way I see it, Romney wins the election.
January 21 2009: Mitt Romney takes office. And Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, still won’t be able to do ... squat.
8 more years of clintons in the white house? Is that what those who say they will stay home really want? You g uys really want a repeat of clinton scandals, higher taxes, soft on terrorists?
“How ‘bout a Giuliani/McCain ticket (or vice versa) for Pres. & VP?”
What’s your DU screen name?
McCain will sell us down the river and get a lot "accomplished", mostly bad stuff; defacto amnesty, more CFR, global warming reg.,maybe gun control, "moderate" judges, and so on. No thanks, never. NEVER. Hes already shown his tue colors.
I’ve come to a very similar conclusion. And if the nation is going to take a mind-numbing hit out of this next election, I’d rather the Dims get the ultimate blame for it.
She's a one termer. For sure.
