“and your daughter too”
No thanks.
The fact that McCain was nominated to be the Republican presidential candidate is a pretty clear indication that the Republican Party is already too inclusive.
We’ll be more inclusive...
of real conservatives.
Get lost McCain.
Hey, you think that the Republican party might decide to be inclusive of my values?
Like, repealing all gun control “laws”, ending abortion, eliminating the Federal Reserve and reauthorizing gold and silver coinage, removing ourselves from the U.N., securing our borders, and stopping this ridiculous “nation building” interventionist b.s.????
Ah, well, we all gotta have dreams.
McCain's "diversity" extends to liberals. That ain't conservative.
“We are in danger of becoming a regional party”
What "region" is McCain referring to?
John:
Please just go away. The Media is even saying it. your 15 Minutes are up.
McCain is a brown nose lukewarm liberal
“Republicans need to be more inclusive, need to include people whose values line up with [the] party, but maybe don’t agree on every single issue.”
On its face, this says nothing. No two people, let alone the entire constituency of a majority party, agree on everything. Typical political message.
That being said, the subtext is huge, and reads: Republicans should be more liberal, like McCain and the Democrats.
More ‘big tent’ nonsense. How about just following the Republican platform....this is the problem with the big tenters like McCAin.....they don’t even prescribe to the platform! He along with graham, snowe, et al are NOT republicans.
” The rule of law means guaranteeing to law enforcement the tools and coordination to deport criminal aliens without delay – and correcting court decisions that have made deportation so difficult. It means enforcing the law against those who overstay their visas, rather than letting millions flout the generosity that gave them temporary entry. It means imposing maximum penalties on those who smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S., both for their lawbreaking and for their cruel exploitation. It means requiring cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement and real consequences, including the denial of federal funds, for self-described sanctuary cities, which stand in open defiance of the federal and state statutes that expressly prohibit such sanctuary policies, and which endanger the lives of U.S. citizens. It does not mean driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, nor does it mean that states should be allowed to flout the federal law barring them from giving in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, nor does it mean that illegal aliens should receive social security benefits, or other public benefits, except as provided by federal law.
We oppose amnesty.
The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people’s rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government’s past failures to enforce the law.”[snip]

“We are in danger of becoming a regional party,” McCain explained.’
Somebody tell McCain he’s only popular in a ‘region’ as two national campaigns (2000 and 2008) demonstrate conclusively.
btw...Baby McCain taking another round of potshots at Sarah Palin in three....two.....one.
Look for Baby McCain on MSNBC within the next 48 hours.
Let’s bury our heads like ostriches.
The purpose of political parties is to win elections. You have to build coalitions. While I say “Good riddance” to people like my senator Arlen McSpecter, the Republicans are in danger of losing the younger generation. Let’s face it, the Republicans also need to figure out what to do with the Spanish-speaking community in its various aspects.
Any so-called “conservative” who uses PC speak like the word “inclusive” has been co-opted by the indoctrination.

The problem with the two party system is evident in McCain, He is not a bad guy, and he brings up valid points, but I’ll be the last person that advocates non Conserv values.
Speaking at a LARAZA function lost some swing states, in that, I have no doubt. I’ll never openly admit (in mixed company) that I voted for McCain. He’s wrong about a great many things, folk like myself held our noses and voted for the lesser of two evils.
If I thought Bob Barr, or Ron Paul (silly but not evil)or any third party candidate had a chance I would have voted for them.
Third party option is out, not because it is not right, but because it is simply not feasable at this time. Taking back the GOP - back to Conservatisim - is within the realm of possibility. We shold understand McCain and refuse his opinion to his face, we should not be more inclusive of the GOP, but define it further still to the point of acceptance of the hard working taxpayers, after all (we) they foot the bill.
It should always be about how our tax money is spent.
Actually I’d LOVE for the Republican Party to be inclusive, as long as those who want to join us ALSO want the Republican principles such as smaller government, lower taxes, and respect for unborn human life, to be moved forward in this country.
McCain, the republicrat party is already so “inclusive” that I left it. You can have it, I have no use for people such as yourself or your idiot daughter.
Go to bed, old man.
Republicans are already as inclusive as MLK dreamed we would some day become. Conservatives judge people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, and we should be proud to do that rather than using the racist standards that liberals demand.
McCain is being vague, as most Republicans who say that deliberately are.
What are to be considered the core Republican values?
I vote for privatization, Constitutional rights, the Right to Life, and border security.
What are to be considered the expendable issues on which it is O.K. if Republican politicians "don't agree"?
I vote for unnecessary involvements in the Middle East, pandering to big corporations, polluting the environment, and "trickle down" economics in general.
