Let’s see how many hits Nancy takes on this thread for liking McCain. Add her to the long list of folks once admired who now supposedly stink on ice because they support Johnny.

[hope]

Yes, it’s happening. A real shame to see Republicans behave like rats.

[Nephi]

Oh, so you support:

McCain/Feingold?

McCain/Kennedy?

McCain/Lieberman?

Gang of 14?

No on ANWAR?

Closing Guantanamo?

Calling water boarding torture?

No to tax cuts?

Okay, then you’ll love McCain/Gramnesty, just like everyone loved Ford/Dole ‘76 or Dole/Kemp ‘96.

[truthkeeper]

I agree with you. God knows I’m no McCain fan, but I do respect Nancy Reagan. We just disagree, that’s all.

I'd rather win with McCain than lose with Romney

I feel like Jack Benny being accosted by the mugger, "Your money or your life!"
Benny then did a classic take, making it hilarious.

But seriously, even tho McCain would not be as bad as Hillary directly, he would cut the conservatives out of the action almost as badly, and produce a split in the Republican Party sufficiently to make even me - and I know that "third" parties have a terrible track record - think third party.

But the reality that you do not consider with the choice you assume is that polls favoring McCain over Hillary in a general election matchup are premised on the caveat, "If the election were held today." But it would be unconstitutional to hold the election today. So the question you have to ask yourself is what is likely to happen between now and November, and you can set your watch by the fact that Big Journalism and the Democratic Party will spring an "October Surprise." Only, it won't be a surprise - it will be Keating 5 scandalmongering.

McCain looks good in polls now because Big Journalism wants him to look good now. Once he is safely nominated, McCain will suddenly become "dumb." And "old." And mean-tempered. And that simply will in no way be a hard sell. He finished pretty low in his graduating class from Anapolis and has publicly admitted he doesn't understand economics, he's about as old as Reagan was when Reagan was reelected, and he does have a temper.

So if Big Journalism goes after him, McCain will fold like a cheap camera. And anyone who thinks that the Democrat won't put those things out there - or that Big Journalism won't promote those things as they never would do to a Democrat - is not playing with a full deck.

I see no advantage to nominating McCain. None

What she says doesn’t matter to me. She happened to be Reagan’s consort. So was Jane Wyman. I liked Jane better. But I wouldn’t care what she said, either. People are making too much of this. she hasn’t said anything publicly. Just bloviating from Drudge.

So you're the McCain supporter here. Wow! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm considering voting for the Turd Sandwich, because I am being threatened with Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Hillary, Giant Douche and Osama bin Laden as the alternative.

But you know, Giant Douche has some good qualities...they speak very well. Why shouldn't I vote for Giant Douche instead?
