Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.

It is often said that the best way to find out how a candidate would act in office if elected, is to see who he/she surrounds himself with. Money is another factor, what people and industries are backing the candidate. These answers should be an indicator of what to expect. Who is behind the man should gauge what kind of man he is.
The great Richard Viguerie tells the story of how he and other conservatives had a “seat at the table” of the presidential campaigns of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan for. His thinking was if Conservatives aren’t at the table NOW, what makes you think there will be Conservatives at the table AFTER the election.
In the case of John McCain, truer words were never spoken. Senator Mel Martinez, Governor Charlie Crist, the NY Times, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Sam Brownback, Pete Domenici, Lindsey Graham, Joe Lieberman, Gordon Smith, Christopher Shays are all on the McCain team.
Look at that list again. Sure, some fiscal and social conservatives are listed, but for the most part, all are “moderates", some even Liberal. MOST support Amnesty and many are Pro-Choice. Interesting list to say the least.
On the money side of things, one of John McCain’s biggest backers is Lew Eisenberg from New Jersey. Eisenberg is a notorious Liberal Republican who has an agenda of REMOVING the Pro-Life plank out of the Republican Platform and is an advocate of Gay Marriage. Why would someone like that back John McCain and not, someone like Rudy Giuliani?
As a matter of fact, in an article I wrote on January 15th of 2007, published in Human Events, called “John McCain Goes Left for Money“, Rudy WANTED Eisenberg on his team:
Eisenberg, who was listed in the leaked Rudy Giuliani strategy memo as someone the campaign should try to sign on, is a liberal, pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, activist millionaire investment banker.
Eisenberg’s support for Republicans appears to be limited, however, as his money has been sent to liberal Democrats Walter Mondale, Dick Gephardt, Tim Wirth, Chris Dodd, Bruce Babbitt, Joe Biden, and others.
In a Nov 15, 1999, Roll Call article about Eisenberg, it was reported that he had voted in just two of 11 GOP primaries between 1987 and 1997.
So, is John McCain, supposedly a pro-life Republican, holding his nose because Eisenberg can “show him the money,” or is McCain surrounding himself with like-minded allies?
I posed that question a year ago, and with the endorsements of all these Pro-Amnesty people and Open Border, Mexico first activists like Dr. Juan Hernandez, the answer is very clear.
John McCain can not be the GOP nominee for President!

To all, Please stop McCain.
We all knew Rush would be great today. RUSH: Stop caring who the media likes. Screw them!
McCain’s running mate is going to be Joe Lieberman.
And if McCain is elected president, he will switch parties and become a Democrat.
He would do it to avoid the serious challenge he would face within the GOP for renomination in 4 years.
McCain would move quickly to pump up his Democrat credentials as soon as he takes office.
McCain will make the biggest flip-flop of all: From Republican to Democrat.
McCain is unelectable.
If he gets the GOP nomination then he will be challenged on the right by an anti-amnesty independent in the general election.
It will be like Ross Perot all over again.
Creepy McCain scares me.

I said the same thing about Thompson and those who he surrounded himself with, including Spencer Abraham and George P. But, hear, hear...it fell on deaf ears. At least we agree on McCain.
