Thank you for your welcome. However, during these years this site (which I love) seemed a subsidiary of the Bush clan: not always an example of conservatism.

ANN COULTER is ALWAYS RIGHT!!!

We'll get more CONSERVATIVES in the House of Representatives and the Senate with Hillary in the White House, than with McCain.

Seems you have been here only 2 days. What is this “during these years this site” bit you mentioned; you mean you have been lurking for that long. Your comment about the site seeming to be “a subsidiary of the Bush Clan” is a stretch. This site in general, except for a few hard core Bushbots, has been critical of Bush on a number of important issues.

Ah well. “Just the country.” Nothing important. Nevermind. /sarcasm>

Sometimes. I repeat: this site is great and every opinion should be shown equal respect.

His campaign bank account empty, forced to lay off staff and dismissed as a viable contender, McCain soldiered on against the odds and now appears poised to capture the party’s nomination.

Everyone says romney knows how to pull things off with his vast business experience. Yet, Mccain managed to turn a big win with very little money and Romney blew millions on the campaign and lost. So yes, McCain does have skills :)

The mere fact that he has lied about seeking and then dropping a bid to switch parties and run as John Kerry’s running mate in 2004 destroys any credibility or aura of integrity and honor that he might have had. Nothing can change this fact, and nothing is what I expect from an unprincipled political opportunist like John McCain.

I’ll give him this. I hear he attended 120 town hall meetings in NH. That’s a lot.

Ann Coulter is the Sister Soulja of the right. She fell right into the trap mccain left for her.

John McCain' time as a Vietnamese prisoner of war is a liability. You think Kerry got swift boated, wait until the clinton machine gets done with McCain. They will rip him to pieces. I can see it now. The Clinton machine sends their operatives on a secret trip to visit some high ranking North Vietnamese officials. They offer them large amounts of cash to be placed in secret bank accounts and very favorable trade deals if clinton is elected. All they have to do to collect is leak any incriminating transcripts or tapes they may have of McCain while he was a POW to hillarys' friends at the National Enquirer. If none exist, they will simply be asked to fabricate them. After all in politics, perception is as good as reality. On top of that it shouldn't be to hard for the clinton machine to find some ex-POWs they can pay off to support these kinds of claims. Then there's the Keating Saving and Loan scandal and the Keating 5 of which McCain was one, and barely escaped being indicted by a grand jury. A re-hash of that will surely go over big with elderly voters. Then there was his wife Cindy who almost went to jail for stealing prescription drugs from charity to support her drug habit. All this, and we havn't even dug into the FBI files that Hillary stole. Who knows what was in there. Gee, I wonder why the Democrats and their running dogs in the media are so anxious for McCain to win the nomination?

Not you, it is in general.

Dude! You've been here for two days having signed up on the very eve of a critical, contentious election; you take a position in favor of a candidate who has only minority support here; and you complain that you are being welcomed with insufficient warmth? Honestly!

So McCain rode Saphira to Alagaësia, and spawned off his character ... for his upcoming dictatorial rule.
