Western Union, of course!
Cheers!
LOL!
McCain has so much crap in his past...I don’t know how he could survive the barrage once it starts. I was thinking tonight..remember the little story several years back about his wife stealing drugs from this place she volunteered at???? Anyone else remember that?
Anyone who votes for Huckabee also casts a vote for Hillary, because a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.
I hope all the very good and sincere people who support Huckabee and/or the Fair Tax or please think about taking one for the team. Huckabee is an intelligent, fun candidate and is easy for many people to identify with him. I personally like most of what I know about the Fair Tax. But Huckabee has no realistic chance of turning this into a legitimate three way race. This is so much like a replay of Nixon forcing himself back on the party in the 1968 election. He was well connected like McCain but many people thought he was small, vindictive and had character issues. I remember my parents warning people about Nixon and supporting George Romney. Do you know how many good Republicans lost their seats after Watergate? Ronald Reagan brought the GOP back in the 1980s, but the 1970s were not kind to Republicans.
It’s his last shot at the Presidency — so no, I would not expect him to criticize the system even if he loses...he could possibly run for another term in the Senate but he wouldn’t need nearly as much money for that.
There is lots wrong with him, and just about everybody here on FR knows it!
LOL who is slingblade?
[There is lots wrong with him, and just about everybody here on FR knows it!]
Yeah, but it’s still less than what’s wrong with Hitlery or Obama.
McCain may destroy the GOP, but Hitlery/Obama will destory the Nation.
Exactly! Send more bullets, shells, tanks and planes to both sides until they bleed each other white and destroy themselves!
This is the closest the world ever gets to poetic justice.
Wow. This will be something to keep a close eye on...
Hence my tag. I was studying and when I read those words it was here we are election 2008. Seems like everybody but a 'few' have their brand of childhood level personality types.
Uh-oh . seems to be in direct conflict with something I
heard on the news and that stumped me.

From this article:
“When his campaign was down and out, he agreed to take public funding for the primaries. Public funding comes with spending limits overall and by state. Also, a candidate who accepts funding cannot raise money from private sources”

From another article and what I heard last night:
*** McCain had to get life insurance before bank agreed to credit line ***
“I’ve got to tell you, I cannot come up with another example of a candidate who went so far into the hole without any assurance of being able to dig out of it,” said Bruce Buchanan, a University of Texas government professor.
McCain’s aides were worried enough to flirt with the idea of accepting federal funds, and they reorganized their financial accounting to prepare for it. But the aides say the campaign is now unlikely to do that, because it would be forced to respect the spending caps that accompany such funds.
“It would have been almost irresponsible,” said Charles Black Jr., a close adviser to McCain. “We knew that this time, we would have to persevere without taking the match.”
After obtaining the $3 million line of credit from Fidelity & Trust Bank in Bethesda, Md., in November, McCain spent nearly $3 million between Nov. 18 and Dec. 16, according to campaign records.
*** The chief asset among $5 million pledged as collateral was McCain’s huge fundraising lists.”***
~~~
And they made him get life insurance in case he died.
This is wacky, and those people whose names were sold just might be a little ticked. I know I’d be.
I’ve been thinking about that “angel in the whirlwind” .... More to come, I’m sure. So, he’s too tight or UNABLE to take some of this $50+M personal fortune to spend, and he’s blasting his envy at Romney for all his disposable $$. The surly, jealous creep!
I just don’t think this is over... even if he ends up being the nominee. Too much time left, too many things can happen.
> This is 1996 all over again. An old fart, mean spirited, go along to get along Senator, who is winning the nomination because after all its his turn. <
Moreover, there’s another similarity: Let’s not forget that both Dole and McCain are combat veterans.
But at least one can say in Dole’s favor that he never talked much about his service, must less brag — whereas McCain has taken his boasting almost to a John Kerry level.
Yes, I remember that and so does the media. As soon as he is the nominee they will begin the attack and then he will lose his fierce temper and its all over.
He’ll get free, fawning media coverage until the day he has the nomination sewn up. Then the MSM will turn on him with a viciousness.
I remember that very well. I also remember that the choreographed response was to paint her as a sympathetic "victim" because the poor thing was in such distress that she needed drugs... I don't remember what they claimed was causing such distress.
I don't remember anybody asking why the poor little rich girl couldn't afford to BUY her own drugs and had to steal them from an organization that supposedly was set up to help people who NEEDED help.
I am so sick of one set of rules for US and a different set or rules--OR NO RULES AT ALL--for the political class. What scum!
It's Time for "Duncan Hunter, - Take Two!" "It's DUNCAN Time!"
