I hope some strong Republicans will run and win in the 2008 GOP Presidential primary.
Remember, McCain pushed through the Terrorist Protection Bill, so we can't get much needed intelligence from them, and he just recently was willing to give up the First Amendment.

U.S. Must Clarify Commitment to Abide by McCain Ban on Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment
http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/media/etn/2006/alert/202/
The United States opening presentation before the U.N. Committee against Torture failed to make clear the United States commitment to fully implement the McCain ban on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment for all prisoners in U.S. custody. Human Rights First called on the Administration to implement a single interrogation standard for all prisoners in keeping with the McCain legislation.
If the Administration continues to carve out groups of people who are not legally entitled to protection from torture and abuse, as it suggested again today, its hard to understand how it intends to comply with the law Congress passed that prohibits the abuse of all detainees held anywhere by any U.S. personnel, Rona said.

Let's hope it won't come to that.
That's why I said I was hoping for a strong R. candidate, who can win the primary and be able to beat the Dem nominee.

Rudy has a much better chance than McLame! I can't see Christians voting for Rudy but if it's that or Hitlary...well...they learned what happens when they stay home...Clinton and they are to smart to let that happen again.

"

Absolutely, 100% correct!
End of story.

"Just don't forget that he's better than any demonRAT."
Ha scoffing, the daddy of a "clean government" Soros style is not a dimes worth of difference than the most high priestess of liberalism.
To: FairOpinion
Ditto and Amen on his Terrorist Protection Bill.
Plus the only place he's going in the near is six feet under, he is a sick (physically) man. (mentally we know)
I caught him last week on CSPAN during the Senate's 'debate' of Pork in the Emergency Spending Bill. The complete left side of his face was swollen and covered by a huge 3"x3" (at least) band aid. He's got cancer - period.

McCain cannot carry a Southern state. Maybe one of the liberal states' primary, but nothing south of the Mason Dixon Line. He is vehemently despised in the South.

Let's be clear about this:
Think of the judges McCain will appoint and compare them to ANY democrat.
Think of which party McCain will have to have backing him for legislative and appointment purposes and compare that to the Democrats.
Think of who influences McCain and compare that to who influences the Democrats.
Think of the groups that will back McCain (admittedly somewhat reluctantly) and compare that to who will back ANY Democrat.
The chasm between US and THEM is unbridgeable. McCain may be hanging over the edge of that gulf, but he is still on our side of it.

***Just don't forget that he's better than any demonRAT.***
With all due respect when you look at his actual voting record and not his phony lifetime ACU rating, he isn't. He votes right along with his "buddies" Kennedy and Kerry a majority of the time on the important Republican / Conservative Bills.
One year, not long ago, his yearly rating was a pathetic 67. That doesn't even classify as RINO.

As I sai, in the meantime, let's hope for a good Republican candidate.
There are plenty others, who can not only win the primary, but beat the Dem candidate, whoever he is.
I still like a Jeb Bush/ Condi Rice 2008 ticket.

MACcain is a "GANG" leader running that hoax 'got to go through us' of judicial appointees. MACcain has got this political business of personal "earmarking" down to a fine art. You do not think he gets something for every nominee he and his gang let pass go?????
Sorry, after observing this little speech god trying to run Rummy out of town and his twisted anti-torture legislation, opposing drilling in ANWAR, preventing tax cuts being made permanent, attempting to pass out citizenship papers to every illegal that can make it across the border, etc., etc., I will NOT be voting for MACcain. I would rather see that high priestess in charge.
To: FairOpinion
blasting them for what he called "the evil influence that they exercise over the Republican Party." McCain and the beast display many of the same character faults.
