Sen. John McCain of Arizona is the best Republican candidate for president.
Experience? The four-term senator and Vietnam war hero has it all over his opponents.

Really, they do all of that. In fact, read it for yourself. An amazing show of disconnect between the LameStream Media, John McCain and the bulk of the Republican party.
I urge a vote for Mitt Romney.
Hopefully: Romney/Thompson 2008
Let everyone read the “endorsement”, and then judge...
Anyone but McCAin!
Here’s an interesting article. Do you remember Richard Poe?

John McCain Gets Soros Cash
Senator John McCain’s Reform Institute has suffered some bad press recently due to its involvement in an influence-peddling scandal with Cablevision. As usual, however, mainstream media have failed to go to the root of the matter.
Founded on June 26, 2001, McCain’s Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called “campaign finance reform” movement – a movement which has done nothing to clean up campaign finance, but has done a great deal to empower federal judges and government bureaucrats to regulate political speech, in defiance of the Bill of Rights.
Now here’s the kicker. The list of donors published on the Reform Institute’s Web site reads like a veritable Who’s Who of radical, leftwing foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Proteus Fund and George Soros’ Open Society Institute (hat tip, Winfield Myers).
Not surprisingly, in view of the above associations, Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute’s Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros’ “campaign finance reform” efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act. George Soros shouldered about one third of the cost of the Shadow Conventions.

I’m waiting to see who the Alien endorses.
Could be a long wait, since Weekly World News is out of business.
When is Pravda going to endorse him?
The DBM has been setting this up since Clinton was in office. McCain, McCain, McCain. They knew Hellary was going to run and they figured if they promoted the idiot enough, everyone on the right would fall in love with him, too. The idiot, however, did everything he could to make US look at him as the world looks at Harry Reid. A total dud.
No need to put the word in quotes. It is an endorsement. And that is what I said, isn't it? READ it.
I won't be going the way the New York Times suggests...or the Philadelphia Inquirer, either. They like McCain because he bashes his own President and party.
You showed up this month and have offered nothing except cheerleading for McCain and dissing Romney.
This is a conservative forum, not a Clinton lite pro amnesty forum.
Do you agree with the ‘it’s not amnesty’ McCain/Kennedy bill?
The Democrats don’t want a tall, vibrant, healthy man like Romney standing next to their short, fat old hag during the national debates...
Even Huma would agree with that probably.
That newspaper has been slow to get the fax. It’s been a liberal lustfest for McQueeg ever since Rudy fell apart.
I’ve been meaning to write a thread about the presence of paid campaign shills here at FR. It’s well-known that lots of companies employ people to do nothing other than promote their product - subtly or overtly - and rail against the competition - subtly or overtly. Online guerrilla marketing is nothing new. I suspect we have a few paid campaign plants here, as the election cycle makes it easier to do so since it’s not a permanent job. (I assure you bringing this up in response to your recent addition and pattern of posting is merely coincidence.)
That said, the incredibly liberal media loves John McCain. That alone should speak to his character and political ambitions. Lots of people savage Rudy Giuliani here (and Romney for that matter) for their faults, but the fact remains is the liberal media are no fans of theirs. McCain, on the other hand - well, you get my point.

The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.

I think you are right. It seems to be boiling down to Romney v. McCain (although I prefer Huck at this point to either one). If that's the choice it boils down to this: There's a good chance Romney may betray us on some conservative issue.....there's no doubt McCain absolutely WILL betray us on many conservative issues. No doubt McCain will work hard to go along to get along with the Dems and will give us another Souter. The choice will be to stay home or hold your nose and vote Mitt.
No need to read anything, newbie shill troll. McInsane is generally detested, and rightfully so. He's a back-stabbing s.o.b. and that's his 'good point'.
And for the record - he ain't no 'war hero' either.
