Hannity is a McCain stooge?

(I don't listen to him)

[Mr. Mojo]

Sean is a fan of the anti-1st/2nd amendment, pro-amnesty/open borders McCain? Disappointing, if true.

[OB1kNOb]

"Vote for me! I'm the GOP's only hope for 2008! Aarrgghh!"...../s

[DesScorp]

"...and principled leadership"

McCainiac's principled leadership includes miranda rights for terrorist combatants, amnesty for illegals, and stabbing his own party in the back on judicial appointments. No thanks. With friends like these...

[streetpreacher]

LOL

[TChris]

McCain, casting himself in vein of Reagan...

John McCain could never be so much as a pimple on Ronald Reagan's rump.

[streetpreacher]

"In this present crisis, John McCain is not the solution to our problem; John McCain is the problem."

[Wuli]

"common-sense conservatism."

Something McPain has never known or had the principles or values for.

[SmoothTalker]

If he is our nominee I will stay home or vote third party. In no way will I ever give a vote to that RINO. Even if it means Hitlery is President.

[beckysueb]

What a pompous bloviating ass!

[BelegStrongbow]

Right now I don't see anyone. Giuliani is okay, but only from the economic side (which makes him the perfect RINO candidate: VOTE FOR ME, IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT YOU AFTER ALL).

[beckysueb]

Amen. He is the only Republican I would NOT vote for.

[conservative blonde]

McCain is not the one to show Conservatives the way. He alone has done more to frustrate and hinder Bush's policies. McCain will go down in flames.

[Gideon Reader]

If McCain is Reagan, I'm Indiana eff'en Jones without a hat.

[Stultis]

John McCain, casting himself as the embodiment of the Republican Party's future in the vein of Ronald Reagan

Whew! I don't think I'm gonna be able to stop laughing long enough to read any further.

Thanks presidio9 for bringing to us the disingenuousness of Senator John McCain. A narcissist who believes the presidency is his birthright and owed him.

Bulletin to McLame: The damage you inflicted on George W Bush and his administration is to numerous to post here. The informed Freepers are totally up to speed on the self-serving menace you have become. Now you embrace Reagan! You expect us to believe you have changed and now have a grasp on conservative reality?
Sorry!
Ain’t gonna fly!
Your race to the microphone to condemn the Swift Vets before hearing their story is not conservative, nor is McCain/Feingold, or the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill, Gang of 14, enemy rights, voting against tax cuts and for judicial authority over presidential powers. Your goal to get your own parking space next to Tim Russert at the ‘MEET the PRESS’ parking lot has won you the admiration of the MSM. They gush over you as an open-minded maverick. I don’t.

Lost our way mainly because of Senator John McCain's always Obstructionist behavior.

Tell us Senator, What was "Reaganesque" about your McCain Kennedy Immigration bill, your obstruction on the Detainee bill or your completely inexcusable Campaign Finance Reform bill?

Senator, actions speak louder then words. When Reagan lost in 1976 he did not spend all his time sticking knives in Fords back the way you have spent 6 years doing to Bush.

Senator, you can talk all you want but the Republican base KNOWS better then to trust you.

[Theodore R.]

Still, despite his bizarre behavior, the "conservative" state of AZ things the world of McCain and always will, no matter what truth is unturned.

[MNJohnnie]

It's time for a new party, The Conservatives, since the Republican party has lost its way.

Now there is an idea that could ONLY be manufactured by the Democrat National Committee. Conservatives could not win in 2006 so they should make themselves COMPLETELY irrelevant by chasing the absurd notion of a "third way" like they did in 1992?

I guess too much time has passed. The Conservative movement has totally forgotten how the Democrats play the game. The "betrayed Conservatives" actually are stupid enough to think 100% of nothing would be better then 70% of something. Go away children, you almost cost us 2004, you did cost us 2006, you will cost us 2008.

The adults are too busy now to put up with any more of these absurd 100%er temper tantrums. What to help the Conservative Movement? GET OFF OUR SIDE.

Go spend all your time sticking knives in the Democrats back for the next two years the way you spent the last two years spending all your time sticking knives in our back for them.
