By and large, they are ginned up in back rooms by clever wordsmiths and marketing practioners as an outgrowth of their PR training and credentials. They sell these men like soap. I ain't buying much of it.
So far, the only one so far who seems grounded and sincere and unchanging (what you see is what you get) has to be DUNCAN HUNTER. Even if HE were elected, I would maintain my vigilence over him as well. Nobody escapes my standards in this regard.
Wonderful. Good luck.
There's nothing wrong with that, AIT. Leadership must ALWAYS be held to account. (Absolutely power corrupts absolutely.)
oooops....absolute power corrupts absolutely.
“A man who won’t sell them out” McCain??? Thats exactly what McCain has a history of doing. I WILL NOT support McCain No matter WHAT! He has burned my a** to many times already. Some people never learn I guess. I will support any of the republican candidates EXCEPT McCain. If McCain is the nominee I WILL vote democrat to rebel.
Well said.
I’m from PX AZ and I will never vote for McInsane.
We’re optimittstic! :^)
Won't sell us out? McCain has already sold us out.
No one who voted for that Amnesty bill, over all the opposition we mounted, deserves to get any conservative votes.
What is more, McCain won't be able to use illegal immigration against the Democrat in the general election.
McCain: "Clean Government" More Important Than 1st Amendment [video]
Transcribed:
McCain: "He also mentioned about my abridgment 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]"
As a Republican, I am by nature a positive person.
This is why I cannot vote for McCain. I don’t think that up there in NH these people have a CLUE what life is like for us in the border states (SoCal is so grossly negatively affected by illegals).
He said he didn't know what happened to the money approved to build the fence that was approved by the Senate, written by Duncan Hunter.
McCain saying he doesn't know what happened to the money
IMHO, he is confused. (has the melanoma spread to his brain? I hope not.) But, not only is he confused, I suspect he will try to push his (and the swimmer's) amnesty bill in the dark of the night, as soon as he gets the chance.
He also shows a lack of class and dignity, like publically singing this song:
McCain singing Bomb bomb bomb Iran
It goes on and on. McCain lacks the respect and class required to be POTUS.
To each his own. ;-)
If it were between Thompson and McCain, I would take Thompson. There is a side of McCain that is too unpredictable. Thompson has a folksy nature that connects with people on a more comfortable level. This what I liked about Ronald Reagan. McCain on the other hand, has a cold nature that when put next to Clinton would turn voters off.
There are a lot of voters out there who are turned off with politicians who are compromised by the system. People want politicians who generate a feeling of trust. McCain has to convince voters that he is not entrenched in the Washington DC juggernaut. Being a senator has its negatives.
On the other hand, once people know that Fred Thompson left the Senate because of its dysfunctional rules, the more people will see him as in tune with what’s wrong with Washington DC.
You posted a ton of “good” stuff about Willard, but you forgot his phony troopers who got caught while Willard was here in NH. Good job Eagle.
"I do not think that I will ever understand the constant media assault on Mitt Romney."As long as he is defeated, I am glad to accept the help of our enemies in the press this time.
Romney would be an utter disaster for the GOP in particular and the country in general.
Besides, he's never told the truth a day in his life!He is no conservative, heck he's barely a Republican. He's Bill Clinton without the sex crimes.
Typical rectum comment from Mitt lover.
Hey Tall Tex, I am from NH and Mitt has you fooled. He is the best "used car salesman" in this country. Go to post #14, The Eagle has nailed Mitt.
I am here in NH we have a very small CLUE, from our northern border with Canada, we are seeing the effects of the pressure being put on from your end of the country. This time of year we have open snowmobile trails where unless you have a GPS you can't tell what country you are in.
Excuse me!! McCane has stabbed conservatives in the back many times.
“Conservatives are coming home”
Coming home to McCain, the Democrats first pick for VP in 04, Conservatives are coming home to Mr. Amnesty, Mr. no tax cuts, Mr. anti-first amendment, Mr. Gang of 14. McCain actually makes Romney look conservative, and that is not easy to do.
