McCain is worse than a RINO. McCain has a very vengeful personality. He has shown as strong desire to go out of his way to utterly screw conservatives. He is a pathological liar on par with Clinton.
McCain is a vile,Liberty hating man has shown contempt for the Constitution with CFR. McCain with his "gang of 14" cohorts has left open many Circuit Court seats, seats that could have been filled with strict constructionist.
McCain is a vengeful, petty man, has used the leftist class envy arguments against tax cuts (and lied to say he wanted spending cuts)
This vile, corrupt man has bought into the lie of AGW -- and as President would burden us untold taxes and regulations as a result.
This profit hating, capitalist hating man, with the McCain Liberman bill will help push the pharmaceutical industry offshore and result in more expensive medical care.
This deceitful man has called conservatives racists and bigots, just because we want to have secure borders and legal immigration (He now lies and says he will secure the border)
McCain has a power-lust and utter Contempt for our wonderful Constitution. He would push our beloved Republic into a socialist hell. And he would blame conservatives is for the destruction he would bring.
I know with certainty that McCain will do evil to our Republic.
Mitt would be a far superior choice to McCain. I believe that Mitt will honor his positions in his platform. He would respond positively to concerns of the conservative base. I believe Liberty would not diminish with Mitt.
1. Judges - McCain - gang of 14 - Romney - got some conservative judges with an 85% Mass Demonrat legislature - Huckabee - would nominate pro-life judges - but would they be confirmed?
Demonrats - Hitlery - need I say more? - Obama - corrupt Chicago Demonrat
2. WOT vs individual liberty - McCain-Feingold - Huckabee - theocrat: Saddam’s sons tortured animals starting at age 8 - would he inspire fear among Islamists? - Romney - threaded needle as Mass governor - but has not had to show foreign policy vs liberty perspectives
Demonrats - support Islamists, Obama directly in Kenya
3. immigration - McCain - Mr. amnesty - Huckabee - amnesty from a Christian perspective - Romney - hires illegals to do yard work
Demonrats - sees future voters - however, most Latino adults work and go to church, which means long-term, they will support conservative positions
4. guns - McCain, Romney - not a great record, but Romney had to deal with that 85% Mass Demonrat legislature - Huckabee - probably good on guns
Demonrats - ha - ha -ha - don’t register your guns, as they are making a list
5. economy/taxes - Huckabee - raised taxes over and over - McCain - voted against tax cuts - Romney - actually has business experience, may think taxes are bad
Overall: Romney > Huckabee > McCain > Hillary > Obama
Some Demonrats are switching to Obama, thinking they can get Marxist/Kenyan pro-Islamist as they think the Republicans are toast. Minor consolation: they are wrong. Obama would lose to McCain, and Romney or Huckabee vs Obama would be an October of popcorn.
One last morbid thought (since Fred Thompson dropped out, my 2008 thoughts have become morbid) - McCain is 71, has had health problems. What happens if he dies either before or after the convention? Before, I think Romney wins (although probably brokered). After, we’d likely rally around his chosen vice-president. And I’m sure he already has a short list, which does not include Thompson or Romney.
