What cracks me up about Mclame is he actually seems to think the media idiots are on his side.

He is a useful idiot to them now, and will drop him like a hot potato as soon as a Dim front runner emerges.(AKA Hildebeast)

Wait until the desperation sets in on old John that he can't win, and watch him come sucking up to the base. I promise it will be a disgusting spectacle.

Did you see O'Reilly tonight...there was a poll showing Clinton with 41% of the dem vote,now....Edwards was the closest at something like 15%....

SO>...(gag) it sounds like it WILL be Hillary....

But, the poll showed the only Republican that "could" beat her was Guiliani....

If Guiliani would get a very conservative running mate...and the Senate could get MORE conservative members..and the House also...

it MIGHT work....but, danggit---I think WE need to go for broke and start NOW....backing someone we want...not just someone we would "settle for".

Don't you think so? Otherwise...the regular Americans are NOT going to be excited and motivated to vote if we run out a mediocre candidate...

The reality is McCain will NEVER win the Republican party nomination. So talk of voting for McCain instead of Hitlery is just a moot point.

Straight talking? He hasn't been straight talking since the USS Forrestal days.

He should have ben the first one to back up President Bush today and tell that traitor Kerry to STFU and his little dog, Teddy, too.

But, no. Mr. Straight talk has to blab all about himself.

A small mind is a terrible thing to waste.

How can any Republican who is ridiculed every day by Rush Limbaugh ever expect to lead his Party?

I quite honestly simply wouldn't vote. McCain and Hillary would be no different IMO.

Same here. Let's hope it never comes to that, but if it does, I'll sit it out. McCain scares me more than Hill. He strikes me as completely unstable. Let's face it. The Clintons basically ran a co-presidency from '93 to '01. As bad as it was, the country survived (more or less). Heck, we attained a GOP congress in part as a reaction to the Clintons.

The guy is NOT a well man,

Look at the first full-face Clinton Campaign Poster from '92, or close-ups of Al Gore. Obviously, mental health is no longer considered a prequisite for the job on the democrat side. Equally obvious is the fact that no one is allowed to say these things publicly.

Neither am I a shrink or a Doctor. OTOH, nor am I a chicken. But I do know a rotten egg when I smell one.

Neither will I and he has about as much chance of being the GOP presidential candidate, in '08, as you or I have; so don't worry. ;-)

McCain couldn't even win the 2000 Republican primaries.

I would never soil myself with a vote for Hillary. I'd never forgive myself. As for John, I just couldn't. The RP has left the building...

What Harriet Miers was to the supreme court nomination, John McCain would be to the Presidential nomination.

During his last campaign, I contributed the maximum of $2,000. At this point in time...I wish I could demand my money back with interest. McCain may have, at one time, been a hero, now he is a coward in my mind. I will sit out the 2008 election for the first time in 40 years rather than vote for McCain. My GOD bless our country and our President, and may he never allow a man such as McCain to serve as our Commander in Chief.

McCain is more apt to pick a Lindsey Graham or a Colin Powell for Vice President.

And, no, it wouldn't be worth the gamble. As we've witnessed in five years Republicans feel less inclined to behave under a Republican administration with the "partisan" cover gone as an impediment. With Clinton in office they actually sought to block liberal agendas by Bill. Added, we see their unwillingness to challenge McCain on his terrorist bill, Judicial deal, CFR, etc... They won't challange whatever other insanities he comes up with in office either.

He's unstable. For her faults, Hillary isn't unstable. She's a Marxist, but I'm not convinced McCain's true colors are known in that respect. I think he hides behind a mask he thinks will elect him to office, and then only will the real mcCain show himself. But I know this. He's an opportunist. Two faced. Short temper. Out only for himself. And the MSM controls him as their personal puppet. I fear him in office while I believe Hillary can/will cause damage, I also believe we can control her in some respects as we did her husband. We can't control McCain.

Besides, I'm not even convinced Hillary will be the candidate. I'm stilling thinking they'll either go with a Warner type of an Al Gore type. Which end of the spectrum yet unknown.

Please, do yourself a favor:

Don't use such rediculous arguements if you actually want to be taken seriously.
