The issues one believes in IS REFLECTED in whom one supports. How does your candidate's beliefs reflect upon you?
To: FairOpinion
Well if you know that's going to happen, then maybe you will like to pass on the winning lottery numbers. The truth is that absolutely everyone here thinks a choice NOT for the candidate they like will result in Hillary being president.
"
Helloooo! The issues one believes in IS REFLECTED in whom one supports. Anyone who supported McCain against Bush in 2000 demonstrated exactly what they believe in."
Seeing that we got 85% of the stuff McCain wanted anyway, I dont think it made too much of a difference.

Anyone who watched the campaign finance hearings in the Senate during which Fred Thompson got completed rolled over by Sentaor John Glen and the dem attorneys knows that the left is NOT afraid of him. Prior to those disappointing hearings, I too thought of Thompson as presidential material. Wow. You just refreshed my feeble memory. I had the same exact experience and now recall wondering at the time - "what happened to Fred Thompson?". Until that hearing I thought he was da man.

Nixon pulled a royal boner. Nixon got caught.
Nixon was the first candidate I supported for POTUS and the candidate I gave my first Presidential vote to. LBJ and Truman may have retired in disgrace, but Nixon resigned in disgrace. Great foreign policy President, but lousy on domestic policy. Nixon did great things, like wage and price controls, starting up SSI, OSHA and the EPA. What a waste Nixon was.

Ronald Reagan was a New Deal Democrat. People change.

Tut tut! Don't confuse anyone with facts. You make FairOpinion seem like (s)he doesn't know everything when you do that! I'm pretty sure, from FairOpinion's posts, that FairOpinion is omniscient. /s

The website "On the Issues" may do a good job listing the political positions and personal opinions of elected government officials and relevent public servants, but their ideological charts are RIDICULOUS.
Hillary and Rudy are leftwingers of the first order.
Fred Thompson is closer to Ronald Reagan politically, then Rudy Giuliani ever dreamed of being.

As I said on another thread, they want to split the Republican and conservative vote, which would be advantageous to McCain getting the Republican nomination.That's quite a caper, Sherlock.
McCain will get neither the so-called Republican vote nor the conservative vote, Thompson or no Thompson.
Okay?

I found it somewhat telling that lib Nina Easton's husband is working for the McCain campaign.
Didn't she say that on the panel the other night?

Did you also hear that Dem Strategist Bob Beckel is also trying to con Republicans to get Thompson in the race by making ludicrous statements, that the Dems are afraid of him. BTW, maybe Bob is really playing a super sneaky, double trick. Ya know, acting like he's pretending to be afraid, when he's really not afraid, even tough -- he really is afraid.
Sheesh, like anybody is really going to decide either way because of what dumb Bob has to say.

And you are a liberal supporting the liberal Rudy Giuliani in 2008.
You have no conservative credentials whatsoever, mister liberal!
Excuse me, but I also support Rudy so you may call me Miss Liberal.

Those little charts really mean nothing because that site is using it's own questionable criteria to determine the slant of the politicians on the issues.

Right now I go with the candidate who has the best chance of beating the Democrats. At the moment, there's no one better than RUDY. Sure, he's far from perfect, but I'll take him to protect me from the Islamofacists more than anyone else, so far.
My sentiments exactly, Gracey.

Here we go again Nixon lied about the cover up he was not involved in the break in!
Just because you did not like some of his policy does not make him a crook!
hindsight is always good but in those days one could not see the agenda of a few where is so many years have unfolded what the sneaky Rockefellow agenda was....
At the time I don't think Nixon was aware what Kissinger and the other creeps were upto including Bill Buckely another slim who pretend to be conservative even fooled Rush.
But I have read other material through the years that this pretenious man was a bag of hot air!
