Yes youy are right
Obama would beat any of the RINOs still in the race...
Duncan or FRed could have beat Obama
They were at least conservative..
With Duncan or FRed would conservative base would have had a champion
The only other time that the GOP Party base was ever so miserable
was in Nov 1992 when Clinton was elected...
I could vote for Lieberman before I could vote for McCain! I have more respect for Lieberman.
Thanks for the links.
Romney sucks!
McCain changed positions on his first wife.
Am I the only one that has no time to read so much clap-trap? Hint to McLettuce campiagn: Keep your talking points succinct. Rambling on and on and on and on and on proves nothing to me.
Our TX March primary election might not count much if it's decided on super Tuesday.
I just can't stand John McCain--haven't for years and at one time I loved the guy.
Today when he was listing Romney's flip-flops, he named a few and then had a "senior moment" and couldn't remember the next one. With passing time it would only get worse! I can say that because I'm not much younger than the old coot and I KNOW what I'm talking about.
What was I saying.....
#70 — a post worth reading. Thank you!
NO
Romney sucks BIG
Yawn.
Every politician trims his sails.
But backstabbing his own party so often, that’ a unique mcCain trait:
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=YjUzOGY0ODA1YzBmNjFhOWE5NWU0OTY5NTZiOGNhOGQ=
McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.
McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.
McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history.
McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.
McCain-Reimportation of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).
And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts.
As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies.
McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees.
And then there’s the McCain defense record.
His supporters point to essentially one policy strength, McCain’s early support for a surge and counterinsurgency. It has now evolved into McCain taking credit for forcing the president to adopt General David Petreaus’s strategy. Where’s the evidence to support such a claim?
Moreover, Iraq is an important battle in our war against the Islamo-fascist threat. But the war is a global war, and it most certainly includes the continental United States, which, after all, was struck on 9/11. How does McCain fare in that regard?
McCain-ACLU — the unprecedented granting of due-process rights to unlawful enemy combatants (terrorists).
McCain has repeatedly called for the immediate closing of Guantanamo Bay and the introduction of al-Qaeda terrorists into our own prisons — despite the legal rights they would immediately gain and the burdens of managing such a dangerous population.
While McCain proudly and repeatedly points to his battles with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had to rebuild the U.S. military and fight a complex war, where was McCain in the lead-up to the war — when the military was being dangerously downsized by the Clinton administration and McCain’s friend, former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen? Where was McCain when the CIA was in desperate need of attention? Also, McCain was apparently in the dark about al-Qaeda like most of Washington, despite a decade of warnings.
“So which Romney are we to believe?”
Which McCain are we to believe?
The one who says he has “seen the light” on the illegal alien debate, or the one that hires Juan Hernandez and Jerry Perenchio, and throws the Minutemen out of his office? (US sovreignty will die with that one)
The one who says he believes in free speech, or the one that legislates McCain Feingold? (the Constitution died a little with that one)
The one that says he is a pro military conservative, or the one that condemns the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth as liars compared to John Kerry? (respect for real heroes died with that one)
As stated above, I’ll take a 50/50 chance of conservatism with Mitt over a 0 per cent chance with McCain.
P.S. If Romney were such a “Northeast liberal” as stated by some, why would he bother to run as a Republican in MA? To beat Shannon O’Brien? To have no veto power in view of an overwhelming Dem legislature? What would be the point?
Romney may do things for political expediency, but McCain does what he does out of political obstinancy.
