I’m currently supporting Governor Huckabee, but I’d say Governor Romney is a significantly better (i.e. more conservative) candidate than Senator McCain, and I’d be interested to know whether any supporters of Senator Thompson here would agree.
Given McPain’s Liberal sellouts , he does have a somewhat Conservative track record on certain issues . Romney has a decidedly Liberal track record with a whole lot of Conservative flip-flop talk .
What’s your take ?
Romney boasts that he doesn’t “see eye to eye with the NRA on every issue” and wants to ban weapons of “extreme lethality.” John McCain voted against the Brady bill and the assault weapons ban and even voted against requiring background checks at gun shows. No contest.
I still cannot forgive McCain for shamnesty, and I fear that Huckabee will be Shamnesty-Part II. I don't know if Mitt Romney really means it or not when he says he's not for amnesty, I have to look at his record in Massachusetts, and I'm not thrilled.
I'm about 45 days away from not giving a rip who wins in November. Even a Hillary win would help us rebuild our party if the best we can nominate is a Giuliani, a Huckabee, or a McCain.
With all due respect, you seem very conflicted. I cannot believe that so many Republicans seem to be considering Leftist candidates.
Huckabee is a liberal Democrat on everything but abortion and gun rights. Even those two fights will be lost if the Democrats achieve super-majority status as they would under a Huckster regime. He has lead a huge Dem resurgence in Arkansas. No conservative would or should EVER consider supporting Huckabee.
The same is true of McCain. Conservative on a few issues but a Democrat dream come true.
Mr. Romney has an extremely liberal record for his first 61 years. He would have us believe that he has converted to conservatism on most issues in recent months.
Only Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter can honestly say that they are conservatives.
I am a strong supporter of Fred Thompson.
And, like Fred, I won’t answer your question. You are asking me whether I prefer hanging or the firing squad; or whether I’d prefer a painful but fast acting poison over a slower, but painless one.
I will accept neither. I’m not doing hypotheticals today.
“I’d say Governor Romney is a significantly better (i.e. more conservative) candidate than Senator McCain, and I’d be interested to know whether any supporters of Senator Thompson here would agree.”
They’re both RINO’s. I can’t stand either of them. Fred Thompson is the only logical choice.
I would be very disappointed to have to vote for Rudy, Huckabee, Romney or especially McCain against a Democrat. I’d feel like I was definitely “settling.”
How did McCain even get back into this, what with the amnesty debacle and his obviously unstable personality?
They are all a bunch of wuss losers.
Go Fred. Go Fred. Go Fred.
