At any rate, I join my fellow Freepers in bemoaning the fact that our choices are so overwhelmingly putrid.

How do you know that? The media likes to talk about the well-known names (McCain, Pataki, Guiliani, Frist), but there are others (particularly from the ranks of governors) who might be just fine. After all, in 1998 no one had ever heard of GWB.

It's not a given that our choices will be hillary or mccain 2 years from now. I'll be working in primary campaigns to do my part to make sure it isn't; you could do the same.

You're right, McLame is best compared to G. Ford or even GHW Bush. R. Reagan is at the other end of that continuum.

So, in 1976 you didn't vote for Ford. Therefore we have you (and other similar minded voters) to thank for Jimmah Carter! This is another excellent example of the RNC not giving the U.S. a strong candidate to rally behind. Granted, Ford's presence as president was kind of a fluke due to Nixons exit.

And, in 1976, was the general consensus among the electorate as negative about Carter as it is about Cankles? I didn't think so. There is far more dislike of Ms. Klintoon than there was for Carter. You will only be raising your own taxes by not voting against 'her'.

Presidential elections always come down to the lesser of two evils (with few notable exceptions to prove the rule).

When Ted Sampley and other Vietnam vets “swift boat” McCain like they did Kerry (and they have more to work with) Hillary or any other Democrat will beat him. I just hope they do it in the primaries instead of in the general election.

Let's see in '96 I became non-afliated with any party after 30 years of voting, contributing to, and working for GOP candidates as a loyal party member. I continued voting GOP and even donating money at times.

The time may just have come to sit out my "golden years" on the Golf Course on election days. Especially if it is a Xlinton/McInsane ticket for the top.

We all have our opinions and are entitled to them. Mine is there is absolutely little if any difference between McInsane and Hitlery Xlinton. The Republic is screwed either way.

McCain shit upon conservatives in 2000. Memories are long. Mrs. Bill Clinton isn't going places either. If she does, 2 years later there will be such a large GOP majority in congress she should try baking cookies again.

Most Republicans couldn't pick out Dr. Frist or Senator Allen from a police lineup.



I agree, and by the time true Republicans see who McCrazy really is they will come to their senses. When I first met the crazy one I also liked him, as did Barry Goldwater. The more a person gets to know him though, the more a person gets to know what he is all about, and he is not what we want for president.

I am sure if Barry Goldwater were not cremated he would be rolling in his grave at the monster he helped create.

If its Hillary vs. McCain, you will vote for McCain. Guaranteed.

Bob Dole, 1996...although, technically, he resigned his seat to campaign.

THAT is a flat out lie. McCain LOST weight. A lot of weight.

There is no difference in MacCain and first senator Hillry. Neither can pass anger management classes.

mine too, but he didn't quite defend the port agreement. It was more of cautioning against a rush to judgment

Yes he lost the weight of the plane he was flying but he came back 10 pounds heavier than when he left.

I went to see him one time he was here. I was underwhelmed. He lost control of the event to s with gripes. Also, I really oppose his committment to global warming. With respect to his temperment, I think he lost the primaries to Bush by whining about the campaign. Also, those Abramhoff hearings with him as grand inquisitor were awful. His son is real cute in his navy whites, though, and his wife is a knock out.

McCain appeared upon release to be much heavier in weight than his fellow prisoners. I wonder why?

He did not. The man could barely walk.
