What isn't told....is the increasing split between some of the Republicans...and other Republicans...IMHO...

I heard on a radio news report this morning....that at that Davos soiree that Kerry was at....there was forum about "human rights"...and lo and behold, along with Jack Straw and representatives from other nations...

WHO was the lone US participant???

Well, one POTUS candidate, John McCain...and, did he use his time castigating BAD countries for their atrocities...the terrorists for be-heading and kidnapping innocent people in Iraq....the outlaws in the Sudan, the Congo...elsewhere???
NO...NO...he spent his timed CASTIGATING THE US for the "continued abuse and torture of prisoners at Gitmo"...

Yes...my friends...I dare say, there is a contingent of Republicans that are running contrary to what Bush's agenda is in trying to fight terrorism...and, just about everything else he is trying to accomplish.

Luckily, Specter decided to use some of the sense God gave him...to actually work to get one of Bush's nominees confirmed....but, not before making deals with the devil...and having it drawn out into a nasty, fight.

And yet some people that claim to be "conservatives" suggest we suck up a McCain presidency because the Dem alternative would be worse? Forget that attitude of defeatism in the first place, What's the saying certain '60's rejects like? "Hell no, we won't go"? Sums up my feelings about anyone trying to push that unstable egomanical whackjob on me as a saner choice than Hillary or any Democrat. He's worse. He's worse because having a damn R by his name excuses him to do more than any "conservative" would stand by and allow a Democrat to do.

I don't believe for a MINUTE that the MSM sponsered campaign to pick the GOP candidate means only McCain and Rudy can win. McCain will lose if he's the candidate for one thing. But the little known secret is just about anyone, minus that "maverick", has the edge to win and I'm not compromising my conscience to usher him to office. I wouldn't do it for Clinton, and I won't do it for McCain.

However, say he were nominated? I'd work to kill his campaign and them nominate Blackwell in '12.

The opinion piece here? Just the usual pre-dawn State of the Union MSM hack job portraying their fear of the President speaking unrestricted to the American people again. Everytime he does that he knocks out a few months chalked up of lies.

NSA the public is on the President's side.

Alito the public is on the President's side.

Abramhoff the public couldn't care less, and those that think about it, think it affects both parties. The only people interested are Dem activists, yellow bellied Republicans in Washington, and certain blogs trying to insert their choice for Delay's job the same way they did with Lott that resulted in Frist (great accomplishment on their part.....) and claiming this is akin to Miers. One problem? Miers was a true grassroots effort. It wasn't ginned up by a few blogs claiming to speak for "conservatives" on this issue. A Congressman admitted as much when he expressed frustratedly in a quote to a paper, I think it was Foley? That people weren't calling. They were more interested in other concerns. Surprise, surprise.

Thanks for the post.
Thankfully, McCain is never going to be President.
I liked that thread the other day: "The next President will be Rudy Giuliani".
I could live with that.
