Queeg Alert!
I wouldn't.
Hillary wouldn't induce me to vote for McCain.
McCain is about as straight talking as a roller coaster.
I doubt McCain could win because conservatives know he is nothing but a Rhino of the first water. The RNC had better think twice again.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!
This was an hysterical line.
Listen up MSM. I don't give a damn what you want. McCain ain't getting my vote, and I know he doesn't have yours either beyond the primary. McCain may be too egocentric to get that reality, but the rest of us base root conservatives know your game.
What in the hell is the matter with the Telegraph? They used to be a good newspaper, one of the few that investigated bill clinton's corruption.
Leader of what? McCain couldn't lead a dying horse to water. You can't be a leader if nobody will follow you.
Another puff piece by the MSM for McCain.
(They aren't biased against Bush, though; they just report the facts. . . )
(sarc/off)
ditto
Well, count me in your column.
Is two a "ground swell?"
McCain is as straight in talking as the path of a 'Rat. McCain will not be President. nor will any Senator who has no executive ecperience.
I will nee forgive him for McCain-Feingold.
It was a terrible mistake to repeat the error of the Vietnam War...
Interestingly, the "error" of the Vietnam War was allowing the damned politicians [read lawyers] get involved. If they'd just stay the hell out, then the "error" wouldn't be repeated. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way.
As well, where does he get the backup that if we send 10K more troops over there will be more casualties? That's not necessarily true. And by the time he'd be president, who knows what the climate there will be like.
I really hate politicians!
McCain tries to put a lip lock on every TV camera he can find. Between him and Gloria Allred they have more face time than the NBC peacock. McCain, Kennedy , Kerry and Hillary are all, drop the soap buddies.
Maybe in England. But not here.
But don't tell John. He get's angry you know.
Why? McCain's a political mercenary, nothing more. He'd sell his own mother for popularity and good, hearty pats on the back, which usually come from libs when you cowtow to their BS.
I quite honestly simply wouldn't vote. McCain and Hillary would be no different IMO. In fact, McCain's so full of himself as a "unifier" that he'd sell the farm simply to get that legacy, which is the only way he'd get it, at least as he saw it before his two feet end up in the can.
Here's a Free Republic poll taken awhile ago. The others named as possible candidates against Hillary did a lot better, McCain was the only one I believe that struggled to break 50% willing to vote for him, and then, only in non members surveyed with 50.4%. I bet he wouldn't even crack 50% in non members now. So, no, those of us that refuse to vote for him under threat of Hillary are not alone and sizeable. No candidate is going to win with this tepid support in the general from the party base they are to represent. I know McCain thinks he'll lead a Giant army of moderates to victory, but, he's certifiable. he thinks the MSM actually respect him after all.
