John McCain is not running on HIS RECORD. He is running just like John Kerry — I Was in Vietnam so I should win.

Any conservative who would stoop to vote for McKennedy is brain dead. The Republican party will consider conservatives the same way that Democrats consider Blacks...on their plantation with no where else to go. The GOP needs to suffer a humiliating defeat because conservatives refuse to vote for the choice of the Democrats, “Independents,” and the New York Times. That will teach the party that conservatives are not unprincipled enough to be led by the liberals inside and outside of the GOP.

There is absolutely no way I would ever vote for McCain. If he is the nominee I will write in a conservative like Duncan Hunter. I don’t care who McCain’s running mate is either.

McCain was asked a legitimate question and was shut down. That was disgraceful.

McCain scares me more than Hillary.

If you think McCain-Feingold was bad policy, just wait for the next assault on our FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

According to McCain he loves Townhall meetings where the regular folk can ask questions. I guess as long as they ask the questions he approves of. What a disgusting example of a man.

The pollster on Fox just commented that most Republicans he polled had stated they liked Huckabee or Romney, but it has boiled down to ABC and they think only Hillary’s “good friend” McCain can beat her. If only they would realize the damage he alone can do to our nation.

A pox on them both!

Last year I was a part of the huge coalition that defeated McCain-Kennedy. I worked my a$$ off to defeat amnesty. I made calls night and day. I faxed, I e-mailed, and I wrote letters to stop McCain. THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA defeated his bill. Now we need to stand up once more, and send this man into retirement. He is dangerous and he is unstable. Please sue me for the unstable part john. Please.

Well, outside of a very few votes he made on the conservative side of the spectrum, I’d say McCain will make a great candidate, FOR THE DEMOCRATS!

He might win the nomination but he won’t win the White house.

Just as the MSM media slugs decreated Thompson and Hunter, Mccains campaign is MSM Created, with a cadre of interconnected Republican Aristocratic Liberals endorsing him.

Romney eventually will win, and the fight will be bitter.

McCain and Obama are Americas two worst political nightmares.

MSM maintained, and MSM created.

A pox on them both!

That’s right. I heard that the dems were courting him to switch parties a few years ago. I think they also tried to recruit him to be dem vice president candidate.

“John McCain is not running on HIS RECORD. He is running just like John Kerry — I Was in Vietnam so I should win.”

But that’s ok this year. He’s a (cough, cough) Republican.

Yes he is a disgusting man & he has a bad temper to boot. I can’t vote for him. He is too old IMHO. I also think he feels entitled to be president. He scares me to be honest.

Please sue me for the unstable part john. Please.

Join the club. We're both on the long list of potential defendants. I hurried to reply to a post before logging off for a while and called him delusional without a factual explanation on why he appears so and had to return to read a short story, and then write a response explaining his attitude, behavior and record. Unfortunately, I suspect I was speaking to his choir.
