Don’t know, but the snippets of the SHE-DEVIL I’ve seen on the tube are enough to make you PUKE! The mediaWHORES are already calling THE BEAST666 the better candidate to deal with this type of situation. FREAKIN UNBELIEVABLE!! One reason I don’t watch much TV anymore!

Agree with you. He can’t raise the money to win and McStain is the most egotistical candidate who is well noted for “talking down” to constituents. The only way he wins the nomination is if CFR wants him too. I will never vote for this bag of gas.

I’m not interested in McCain but apparently there is a lot of cross voting between parties to come up with the numbers that RCP has come up with. I don’t know how this can be explained any other way. It’s pretty weird that no one mentions it. Maybe it’s leaves a bad taste in the mouth. :)~

I would have to swallow hard to support McCain. But, if polls keep shown that he is the only one who can win, Imight. I am personally very committed to a Republican win this year no matter what. I have no problems with McCain except his immigration agenda. He has a record of treachery, duplicity and back stabbing on this issue. I am also leary about the country club mind set of these Republicans who agree with you all of the time, but never do anything, never advance or articulate an agenda or put their ideas in a program ahead of time until it is to late and then they just triangulate and stab you in the back, because they would not do anything in the first place. As much I despise this man for what he tried to do to us last spring I feel we may have to support him. If he is elected we will have to organize and be ready to break his butt if he stabs us on immigration again. There can be no let up. At least the squeaky wheel(especially on that will stab him in the front if he stabs us in the back) will usually get the grease. WE will just have to return his treachery in a like way.

Not the Manchurian Candidate. While McCain sometimes makes good responses, at other times he is loony tunes. He has too much baggage, including his outrageous support of illegal aliens and CFR.

Same here. I’ll write a name in before voting for the psycho.

McCain is any man's candidate and no ones candidate.

My two biggest problems with him is that he wants to shut me up and he has a really bad memory.

He would be like a liberal puppet master with Alzheimer's.

John Mc sounds like a good bet. He hasn’t flipped or flopped as most of the others have. However his age bothers me.

“No candidate is better on foreign-policy issues than McCain.”

Yes but McCain didn’t happen to be mayor of NY during 911. Nor did he put his love shack bunker in in WTC7

Hang in there Kenny Bunk ... Freds a coming.

Think tortoise & hare.

McCain is a Democrat running under the Repub banner. Yesterdays news, but the darling of the MSM ... until it's showdown time.

All of our top tier, except Huckabee, can beat Hillary (only Rudy and Romney will have the funds to do so, however). We haven’t even begun to campaign against her yet or challenge her in one debate and most of our people are tied with her or leading.

Sorry Bob but Fred has a great opportunity to take it all.

The base will not support someone like McCaniac who thinks of them as nothing more than IGNORANT RACISTS WHITE TRAILER TRASH.

Already Bob, you like many in the media just do not understand the disdain that many have for someone who goes to Washington and ends up representing all those except the ones who brung him to the dance.

I am betting McCaniac, will like Dean, implode like a balloon way to full of hot gas.

Give me Fred.

I agree. After the fizzling of all candidates, McCain has stood strong. Too bad that the Duncan Hunter campaign never took off...nor Thompson’s. I still like Rudy Giuliani, but I can definitely support McCain...along with my daughter who just joined Army ROTC.

The McCain “Gang of 14” was enough to end any chance of support I might have possibly given McCain.

I will NEVER EVER forget that he did that to President Bush instead of fighting for his nominees.

Putting aside the fact that he has betrayed conservatives more times than we can count, sadly, McCain obviously has some mental impairment. Sometimes he rambles, completely loses his train of thought, and has to ask aids for information he really should know and remember. He has trouble controlling his emotions and that often manifests in bouts of bad temper. I am convinced that those closest to him know this but out of respect for him, do their best to help him cope and minimize it. I honestly believe that choosing him as our nominee would be disastrous.

Yes, yes, the apotheosis of Fred. Fred the Messiah. Fred will save us all from the wascawy Rwhinos. Fred cannot fail. Fred is omnipotent, pluripotent, just plumb perfect. Fred can walk on water. Viva il Fredo, Fred for High Priest, why, shucks, Fred was voted by his high school class to be most likely to succeed God Almighty as the True Conservative of the Ages.

Yes, indeed, Fred’s coming, Fred will get here, Fred will save us all.

Oh, Fred, of Fred, how long, Oh Fred, how long wilt thou tarry. Stir up thy might, O Fredster, and come and save us. Trample our enemies into the dust.

The Lord said unto Fredster, sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

O Lord, O Lord, why are you taking so long to crown Fred king of the Universe and turn all the rhinos into toadstools, oops, I mean Fredstools.

Fredengarius, nolite timere, inimici quasi-respublicani illi scabellis tui convertabo! Spera in Domino et in Fredstero eius.

The Gang of 14 got more than half of Bush’s nominees to the floor for a vote. If we had used the “Nuclear Option” it would have elminated the filibuster for us in any future Democratic nominations.

“The Gang of 14 got more than half of Bush’s nominees to the floor for a vote.”

The gang of 14 was certainly not exactly filled up with pro-life Senators.
