It could be the one other time (Buckley/NY/'68) that a true conservative Republican won in a three-way race.

"McCain pushes for global warming"

And it seems to be working.

How much more socially liberal can one get than marginalizing Evangelicals? than assuring less than up or down votes for judges? I think his POW-status is the only thing left protecting him from ABSOLUTELY furious conservatives. (I don't count him as a true pro-lifer, either, after the remark he made about what he'd say to his daughter if she sought an abortion.)

I don't know one single person who would vote for him; in fact, most people I talk to would actively work against him.

And on FR, I'm considered a "squishy" conservative.

Given to him by his buddy-for-life? I just wonder how the Keating scandal might have affected his thinking. Did he not get sufficient support from Republicans then? That time seems to be the break-off period.

On the right wing’s view of him: "They’re more accepting of me than they used to be – not accepting, but more accepting – because of the fact that I worked hard for Bush’s re-election.”

Proof that for his "hard work" for President Bush's re-election, his heart was still not in it. It is nice to know, though, that he knows everything about everything.

why not? he's been the same on family issues throughout his time in Congress, hasn't he?

it gets tiresome -- people complaining about issues, and then here comes a guy who is in line where it counts, and he gets crapped on.

That's good!!

The WORSE the BETTER.

It will increase our chances of replacing her with a REAL Republican after one term in office.

If McCain gets in, he'll be such a middle-of-the-road liberal suck-up type that he'll be stuck in there forever. And he'll spend eight years doing in the Presidency doing what he has demonstrated he's so good at in the Senate - pandering to the liberal media - sucking up to their every whim, and pandering to the Dems in Congress. He'll BEG the Dems to nominate liberals for Federal Judgeships, sign away ALL our gun rights, further eviscerate the First Amendment, and let in armies of illegal aliens.

Hitlery on the other hand is so crooked, so vile, so obnoxious, so evil and so blatant that she will be easy to defeat after one term. On the other hand, even Hitleryu gets it on the illegal alien issue, which is more than I can say for McCain.

As long as conservative Republicans or even true moderate Republicans are willing to vote for and support people like John McCain, the public will be provided with two versions of the same brand in every general election. The Republican Party will be totally taken over by "Garden Party" Repubs - people who like to sit in their limos, live in their exclusive expensive mansions, travel abroad and pick up bad new ideas on social issues, concern themselves solely with protecting their tax dollars, and give away everything else and anything else to protect their wealth.

People like Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney, and Chrissie Whitman.

Only by making sure these people NEVER get a foot hold in priamries will we have an alternative to the Dems on social issues - issues which are of absolutely no concern to limousine liberals who often even sympathize with the libs on them.

He's nuts, genuinely nuts.

He has already jumped out of the chair but he forgot to tie the rope. Keep a chair and rope handy. Sooner of later he'll get it right.

I would rather vote for Hitlery to keep this Judas out of the White House

Oooh, now you're really scaring me! That would be the worst set of choices ever. I pray it doesn't happen.

It isn't about the US anymore, it is about the New World of McCain. I am from AZ I voted for him in 1982 through 1996. He`went off the res and I have voted 3rd party since.

McCain said he wants to gain the White House "because I think I’m qualified to help make the world a better place.”

Somebody better explain to McPain that making the world a better place is the job of Miss American and Miss Universe. The POTUS is supposed to worry about the USA (see also, oath of office)
