McCain has spoken of serving "a cause greater than self-interest."

The ONLY thing he's been good at his entire political life is serving his own self-interest. Shame on the Post.

The choice is clear?????? It’s about as foggy as you can get if they go for McCain. I think people are looking for another Harry Truman grandfather. If I were Viet Nam, I’d be real worried. McCain would drop the big one on them in a New York minute.

The media and university elites want to give us a choice between two Democrats...some choice. McLame nearly joined the Dem party in ‘01, Jeffords beat him to it. In ‘04 McLame seriously considered running with Kerry.

And now we are gonna nominate this guy as a Republican!?!

Give me a break...just how stupid do the party insiders think we are?

Conservatives will never, ever, never vote for him.

I’m with Ann Coulter, I’d vote for Hitlery first.

As a conservative, I can live with voting for Romney - I did that in the MI primary hoping McCain would lose. It was clear by then that my first choice, Fred Thomspon, was not going to win MI.

As a conservative, I can’t vote for McCain and live with myself. Instead, I will write in Ronald Wilson Reagan for president in 2008.

I was too young to vote for Reagan in 1980 so I will make it up to him in 2008.

Who will join me?

That’s just nonsense; McCain has worked for tax cuts, oppossed abortion, and stood his ground on the war.........he’ll be a fine war-time president. There is no “perfect” person or canidate....How do you think Mitt got elected in MA?...By playing up to the Dems........

Not true. The next CPAC convention is a much more likely target.

Did you forget the sarcasm tag?

He voted against the tax cuts and used class warfare saying they were “tax cuts for the rich”

He supports using our tax money for embryonic stem cell research and came out (when he didn’t have to) with a motion opposing Wisconsin Right To Life’s free speech rights. Luckily, Alito and Roberts were on the panel.

He’s a socialist moron.

His comments about punishing “greedy people on Wall Street” shows his true colors.

McCain is too stupid to realize he’s a Democrat. He should switch parties so the IQ can go up on both sides.

Guess they figured they’d talk to conservatives on the verge of an election kinda like their cranky old nominee.

Capitol Hill staffers rate their bosses. McCain got no glory from those who work with him.
“Every election year we survey top aides on both sides of the aisle—administrative assistants, press secretaries, legislative directors, and chiefs of committee staffs—to get their up-close and personal, and anonymous, views. While there may be lots of partisan backbiting among congress members, their staffers seem far more capable of putting politics aside and making honest judgments. It wasn’t unusual for aides in both parties to name one of their own as “spineless” or give the “workhorse” nod to someone across the aisle. “

The Pro-Life Case Against John McCain:

McCain Has Denigrated the Pro-Life Issue Elsewhere,

[snip] When Rudman retired from the Senate in 1992, he loudly bemoaned the important role of Christian conservatives in the Republican Party. He wrote, “Politically speaking, the Republican Party is making a terrible mistake if it appears to ally itself with the Christian right” — a group that he identified as rife with “antiabortion zealots,” among other undesirables.

Yet in the South Carolina primary, McCain now says he deserves the support of those same Christian conservatives and other pro-life voters. It won’t wash.

McCain quite recently (on the Don Imus radio show, on November 23) ridiculed citizens who decide which candidate to vote for on the basis of the right-to-life issue – he referred to them as “otherwise intelligent people.” We suspect that the pro-life voters of South Carolina are quite intelligent enough to see through McCain’s current attempt to play them for suckers.

We have to do a *Desert Island* test. Shipwreck survivors are jumping into two life-boats which are heading for two islands on the horizon.

McCain is steering one and Romney the other.

Which boat do you elect to board?

Do you go with the fella who can fight off the barbarians, but is inclined to lose his temper and valuable equipment?

Or do you go with the guy who can organize & build a fort, grow & hunt food, create jobs for the barbarians, save resources and prepare to build a bigger boat for an escape?

Welcome to Free Republic!

I don't understand how we can "vote" for McCain anyway, isn't it illegal to express your opinions too close to an election (McCain-Feingold)?

They both are probably headed in the wrong direction!

But, Captain McQueeg would probably punch me in the face and throw me overboard.

These jokers endorsed McCain in 2000 against GWB. They just could have rerun the same article—maybe they did.

First, since you can't express your First Amendment rights too close to an election would wouldn't be able to choose, secondly, the barbarians would be welcomed on board so that they could lawyer up, thirdly, the judge in the possible proceedings would be booted for being too conservative (Alito), fourthly, we wouldn't be able to afford getting on the boat because the tax burden would be too high,...need I go on and on?
