What McCain has to offer...

he new Republican presidential candidate must be agile, quietly brilliant, intuitively political, a cross between Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan -- overwhelmingly charming and deceptive enough to achieve our national goals without anyone seeing his lips or his fingers move. Who's waiting in the Republican wings that fits that description? Few, if any. ...

.....So how does one choose the right man? C. Northcote Parkinson of Parkinson's Law fame had the answer. For every impossible job -- as per Winston Churchill or FDR in World War II or Reagan in the Cold War -- there is only one person who fits the bill. He called it a short list of selection. The times are so challenging that a prospective candidate might best be described, in caricature, by a help-wanted ad for the job.....

....Who among the contenders would be courageous enough to respond to such a daunting ad? Only one: Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Why? Is he so hopelessly ambitious to suffer indignity for his personal goals? Perhaps, but more important, he seems to be the only one who has that in-born authentic patriotic spirit that requires him to sacrifice for this nation. Plus he seems to have the sense of destiny, shared by Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Reagan -- that he is the only one of his time capable of the onerous job of a president under shattering fire. .....

.....In summation, Mr. McCain is the only presidential candidate possible for the Republican nomination. And as a plus, he is the only one who can defeat any candidate the hapless Democratic Party can put up, especially Hillary Clinton.

hosepipe, you are selling the man short! how about...

his resignation

[JFC]

Never! Can I vote for MCvane

[Mobile Vulgus]

Mclame has NOTHING to offer. He is one of the worst senators in the country.

[ hosepipe, you are selling the man short! how about... his resignation ]

Hillary probably has 8mm movies of Mclaim "servicing" his captors at Hotel Hanoi..
Received from her friends in Vietnam..

[Quix]

Agreed.

[Quix]

Voting for Shrillery really would be far worse. She's got much more tenacity and evil, energetic plans for tyranny.

McChurian
McPain
McVane as in goes with the weather, the wind
McVain as in arrogant to the bone
McTraitor to the Constitution

etc.

Sorry, I missed it!
Only excuse is that I am busy raising some baby chicks and getting my garden started.
For those of you who think I support this writer's opinion, I don't. That said, my highest priority is making sure "her thighness" is not elected in '08, or any other democrat for that matter.

Chicks can do that.

I remember when I was in high school, there were these babe chicks, oh wait - you said BABY chicks, like chickens?

Never mind. (sigh) ;)

Enjoy your day! (cheep cheep!)

McCain is a loser!

The only CONSERVATIVE & ELECTABLE GOP candidate is George Allen.

[Waco]

Nothing! McManic is an idiot who should NOT be allowed in ANY public/Gov't position,,,,,PERIOD!

[jacquej]

My husband is very perceptive, and likes George Allen quite a bit!

Do you think he can beat Her Thighness?

[G Larry]

Yes!

This won't become clear until '08, when Allen has had enough media exposure to contrast the two.

I have serious reservations about McCain.

McCain has nothing to offer, and stands for taking away our free speech and First Amendment rights:

---

McCain: "Clean Government" More Important Than 1st Amendment [video]

Transcribed, word for word (leaving out some "uhs"):

McCain: "He also mentioned about my abridgement of First Amendment Rights, i.e., talking about Campaign Finance Reform. My response to that criticism is I work in Washington and I know that money corrupts and I and a lot of other people were trying to stop that corruption and obviously from what we’ve been seeing lately we didn’t complete the job. But...I would rather have a clean government than one whose quote First Amendment Rights are being respected that has become corrupt....if I had my choice I would rather have a clean government......[chuckle]"

---

Bill of Rights * Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.

[HarleyLady27]

.....and isn't that sad.....

[Ben Mugged]

The Washington Examiner calls Senator McCain to task for his statement on Don Imus's program that "I would rather have a clean government than one where, quote, First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I’d rather have the clean government." McCain's statement implies an alarming disrespect for the Constitution and for political freedom. If McCain truly means what he told Imus, then conservatives who doubt his fitness for the presidency may have a case. As the Examiner observes, "those who put their private political vision above everybody else’s essential freedoms cannot be trusted with the reins of power."

[Common Tator]

Who could that be?

It certainly is not McCain. McCain was unable to do much of anything in 2000 against George W. Bush. He managed to come in second in New Hampshire. And the media played that as a win.

This so called southerner got his rump beat beyond recognition in South Carolina in 2000 with the Democratic party urging all Democrats to vote for him.

McCain couldn't get elected assistant butt wipe at a Diarrhea convention.
