President Hill, President Osama, President McLame.....no difference, not one bit.

Just one -

Hitlery and Obama are proud of bing liberals, brag about it, and revel in their descriptions of what they are going to do to America when they get power.
They make it abundantly clear they are on the other side.

McCain is a sneaky thief who smiles and pretends to be your friend during the day but slithers in at night to steal from you and stab you in the back.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’d vote for the Democrat. But I’d vote for either Lou Dobbs or the Constitution Party without a second thought.

Yours is the most powerful argument I’ve seen yet. Please thank your son, and thank you for your stand on principle. If more of us did what you’ve done, we’d all be the better for it.

We had to go to the hospital yesterday. In the waiting room, they had that puke Today show on. It was everything I could do to sit there and not throw up. ANYONE, ANYONE!!!! who says that the media is not bias towards the Marxists Dimocrats are either totally blind or better, STUPID. It was nothing but a love fest of Hillary and Obama. They talked about the republicans like dogs. We might as well be living in the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. The news is controlled by liberals the EXACT same way as those places had it. I finally told my wife I was going out and walk around that I could not stand to sit here and here this puke any longer. I said it out loud. Several people looked at me, especially this black woman. It was like I had damned the queen I think.

2008 - the year America hits bottom, one lifer Senator running against another Senator; the best either party can offer. Either way, America loses. There's a reason why Senators don't get elected President very often.

On the bright side, in 4 years of this next administration America will be nostalgic for the Bush Administration. And then Condi Rice can be convinced to run in 2012.

The ACU rating is irrelevant.

McCain supports homosexual marriage. (on Friday the state of NY appelate court IMPOSED canadian homosexual based marriages on the state. NY State no has homosexual marriages)

McCain voted against the federal marriage amendment.

McCain’s vanity fair interview confirms his attitude.

McCain voted against tax cuts.

can you say McCain on gun control?

The ACU rating is irrelevant.

>>>MSM is working hard to get the nomination and then they are going to bring him down.

They’ll bring him down with McCrazy’s own assistance.

Already he’s out on the campaign trail once again promoting Amnesty for illegals. Yep, it’s true. His line in public speeches is that “we’ll secure the border”, but in smaller venues he hasn’t backed off one inch from last March when he was calling us bigots.

But the MSM is low-keying that aspect of McCrazy’s campaign at the moment, so you can bet it’ll be “surprisingly big news” come July.

From this vet, please forward my thanks to your son for his service. Unlike McLame, your son is what I consider a real hero.

McCain is almost out of money. He has nearly reached his preprimary finance cap. (he took public money with all the strings)

after tuesday, he is dead air time.

I think the problem is a growing generation of liberals, many of whom have joined the republican party. My kids want it all now! I point out that I lived in much smaller apartments and worked some pretty nasty jobs when I was their age, and used a motorcycle one winter in N. Utah because I couldn’t afford the car.

It doesn’t register. They think the world owes them a living. Right now I’ve taken to watching them flail, because it will take some failures for them to learn self-reliance.

Unfortunately, about 60-70% of Americans believe it is the government’s job to make them happy. Until that idea is flushed by harsh reality, there can be no conservative resurgence.

“If you write in Fred, that’s fine. He is not running, and that vote won’t count toward the Republican Candidate, that is a vote for President Hillary!”

I agree. Those people who see no difference in a McCain presidency and a Hildabeast presidency are delusional. Don’t get me wrong; I consider McCain and Slick Willard to both be liberals. But this country could survive either one of them. The Hildabeast, on the other hand is pure evil. To allow the Klinton Crime Family back into the White House is unthinkable. I would not put it past the Hildabeast to create an American Reichstag event and using provisions under the Homeland Security Act, declare martial law and establish her wet dream of a liberal, fascist police state.
After that, Conservatives and Christians would be considered enemies of the state and hunted down. Thanks but no thanks. I will be holding my nose and voting for the Republican nominee.

The sheer magnitude, depth, and longevity of McCrazy’s obsession with granting citizenship to 30 million illegal alien peasants completely negates his ACU rating.

It is one thing to cast a single vote stopping - for example - a $250 million pork project. That’s ACU material.

It is quite another to be the cheerleader for a policy which is guaranteed to cause great and lasting damage to the Republic.

Have you checked that rating since he started actively seeking the 2008 GOP nomination for Top Dog? He certainly is not to the left of Hillary, but he is not the conservative these days that lifetime rating would suggest.

Be a good guy all your life, give to the church, help old ladies across the street, empty bedpans in a nursing home, rake your elderly neighbor’s leaves and take out their trash and your ‘do-gooder’ rating will be off the chart. But then do something really bad and your rating for the latest rating period will be in the gutter.

I don’t think I can bring myself to vote for the Democratic candidate in Nov., but I can sure refuse to vote at all. It may have a very similar effect on the chances of the Republican being elected, but even the constitution doesn’t force me to actively support what I feel to be wrong.

By the same token I have no gripe with those who can bring themselves to vote for Hillary, even if just to send the message.

How do you know this? If that is the case maybe Mitt will have the last laugh! Mitt manages for profit and wins nomination and McLame will be in the back knowing it was for patriotism
