I won’t support him, but McCain will be the one. Big Name War Hero, Big Government, Mainstream Beltway Republican RINO and it’s his “Turn.” He’ll have the advantage over the social liberal upstart outsider Rudy Giuliani. We need the Reagan coalition now more than ever.
Go, FRed, GO!!
Hard to fault your analysis, Jim, but I think if Fred hangs in long enough, I'll be happy enough to vote for him here in Texas. Even if he drops out formally, if his name is still on the ballot, I'll be happy to cast that vote.
Rush keeps telling us, during general election campaigns, that the primary campaign is the place to make your stand for a conservative. I'll eat broken glass before I vote for either McCain, given his positions, or Mitt Romney, given his background and that dog's breakfast of a "defense of marriage" he gave us while governor of Massachusetts. That was a major, galaxy-class failure to lead on a major social issue. Some "Western conservative" he.
East Coast Republicrats play to lose. Or more to the point, they cash in our social issues for votes on tax breaks. That's why the MSM bullsteerers love them so. Remember that touching little scene when old Bob Michel retired from the House of Representatives? The 'Rats let him hold the Speaker's gavel for a couple of minutes the day he said goodbye. Awwww. OK, now give us the gavel back, Bob. And thanks for playing.
Oh, Jim, noooooo. My very first protest in my life was the Daschle-McCain Summit at McCain’s Compound in 2001. His neighbors wanted pictures of us and our signage. They disliked him, too. Who knows if they were libs or conservatives. He wasn’t a nice neighbor.
