John McCain is the best man left. I don’t like it but it is true. I still hope for a brokered convention. None of those left deserve to win it outright.
Once McCain is nominated and is then presented as the alternative to either Hillary or Obama, the same MSM which has fawned over him and, for all intents and purposes, created his success, will turn on him and shred him to pieces.
Enough with this ‘electability’ nonsense. Weren’t these the same people trying to sell Guiliani to us a few months ago with the same shtick?
John McCain is the best option to preserve the ongoing restoration of constitutional government.

Does the author really believe that any SC nominee that McCain may nominate doesn’t first have to be seen by McCain as acceptable to Kennedy and the WAPO/NYT’s?
Total BS.
Look at all the apologists coming out with their liberal arguments for McCain. Yeah, everyone, let’s just drink the damn grape kool-aid and be like the liberals and vote for someone because of ‘electability’ - which McCain DOES NOT HAVE!!!!! Screw principles. Be like the DU a$$holes. Let’s not think about what we believe, let’s just go with who the media wants us to pick. They wouldn’t try to mess things up for us would they?
If you buy into any of these sh!tty arguments you are not a conservative. You’re a liberal who looks at polls and bases decisions on what’s popular at the moment and are just a moral compromiser. I’m not going to vote for a guy I have almost no respect for (I give him a smidge for his long-ago service) because he grudgingly still has a (R) next to his name. He ain’t conservative, he’s saying what he thinks he needs to say to appease conservatives, but he’s our version of Hillary. He’s whoring himself out trying to get people to buy the lie. He gets the nomination, he’s going back to the middle and left, and he will govern that way. We will not get conservative justices because he does not believe in appointing conservative justices.
I think theres a possibility that McCain could get no nominations in his first term. Ginsberg wont retire for a republican unless she’s taken out on a stretcher, and I think that may be the case for Stevens and Souter too (neither wants to be replaced by conservatives). And even if he does get openings, he would have an almost impossible time getting a conservative through a democrat senate.
If conservatives and republicians do not win the Presidency we are screwed. If we win we can keep on coarse with the USSC. That is the way to the future. Most likely we will have a Democratic Senate and House and we need the Presidency. If everyone sits at home they will regret it for the rest of their lives. Politics is won by keeping the faith and winning the long battle. We must have the Presidency. If not kiss you 2nd amendment rights and most of what you hold dear good bye.
"We believe that the nomination of John McCain is the best option to preserve the ongoing restoration of constitutional government."
And the Constitutional oath to protect the states from invasion?
What about the ongoing invasion?
Constitutional government my a$$.
This is a great article. Still, if I could, I would pull the lever for Huck or Mitt tomorrow.
Why can’t people see that any of the 3 are CLEARLY better than HillaryObama?
John McCain is the best man left for the Republican nomination and for President of these United States.
If I actually believed McCain had ANY chance at winning in November, I’d feel a lot less uncomfortable with him winning the nomination, because at least he is somewhat likely to appoint good judges.
On the other hand, the article downplays McCain’s desire to get along with his real friends on the democratic side of the Senate. That desire is reflected in his statement that he wouldn’t necessarily appoint a judge like Alito who would be a “stick in the eye”, so to speak, of his buddies.
He’d rather pick a guy that can get a solid majority, meaning a good number of Democrats.
Now, what candidate could you pick who would be the deciding vote for overturning Roe, and would get more than one or two democrats?
Answer: one that is a stealth candidate, like Souter and Roberts, both of whom raised some doubts as to what they would really do.
Actually, it remains to be seen if Roberts would be a vote to overturn Roe, but we know how Souter turned out.
McCain loves to be loved, and that will play against him fighting really hard for a conservative judge.
Our rights are already being eroded. McCain will not stem the tide. The erosion will continue.
I’m confused... How does the Gang of 14 leader have a record showing he would nominate constitutionalist judges? How has the first-amendment limiting senator shown he respects that document and the principles embedded therein?
Snake oil, mixed liberally with venom. That is what they are selling.
No candidate who advocates amnesty deserves my vote.
WHAT A CROCK OF $h!t !!!!!!!!!!
I don’t believe the electablity nonsense, the press is holding their fire on McCain until he locks up the nomination. And when you get right down to it, Arnold was an “electable” republican in California and he has been a disaster for us, spending all his time with his Democrat friends trying to figure out ways to bypass the republican minority to get their liberal legislation passed. He’s even trying to help the far left democrat leaders in the Legislature weaken term limits because they are “doing a great job” and he wants them to stay on.
A McCain presidency would be no different. I’ll take a “Goldwater debacle” over McCain any day.
