I think it’s just a matter of time before McCain closes the gaps. But that’s when the real trouble begins for people like us:

[Just mythoughts]

IF McCain wants border security he has demonstrated he can get liberals to pass legislation.... what is he waiting for .... anything else is just lies and deceit.

McCain is benefiting from inviting his ‘guests’ in to ‘work’ for his funders.

[gridlock]

A McCain-Huckabee ticket now appears a real possibility.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse...

[alicewonders]

There is NOTHING that McCain can say or do to get me to support him. NOTHING.

My God, how many times are Republicans going to go back to this abusive relationship? I’m not - I’m getting a divorce. I’m out of the marriage.

McCain needs psychiatric help, and so does anyone that believes he will change.

[napscoordinator]

after his Thursday speech. McCain has to finish first at CPAC or risk a disunited party this fall.

I had no idea that they had a vote in this. He will never finish First. Who is in this? Just the three candidates or can you add a name or two?

McManiac will say ANY-N-EVERYTHING he thinks Conservatives want to hear...ANYTHING...yet, at the first turn, should he be nominated and win the presidency, IMHO he will sell-out Conservatives and conservative principles. He has proven over the past 7-8-10 years that he has no qualms about doing so. I don’t see how he can be trusted at all.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A guy with kaleidoscope eyes.

Sorry, I refuse to trust McCain. Ever. He’s a liberal wearing a Republican cloak, but then, there are more like McCain in the GOP than conservatives, so he doesn’t stand out as glaringly as he did just two years ago. My fervent hope is that CPAC will kick him to the curb.

According to my source, McCain has prepared a video featuring President Ronald Reagan to make the introduction. If McCain uses this video, it is very likely to backfire badly. This is the group before which Ronald Reagan said in 1975 that, “A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.”

Wow. IF McCain is, in fact, foolish enough to try this stunt- he will incur even greater wrath from the right. That he’s even THINKING about it- shows his complete misunderstanding of who conservatives are. A transparent attempt to pander using Reagan as a symbol will fall flat- and ensure our continuing dislike and distrust of the man.

[Rameumptom]

The best speeches at last years CPAC were Coulter and Romney. McCain skipped it, since he's not conservative, of course. Hopefully the young College Republicans there shout down McCain tommorrow.

[Mitt Romney]

Just want to say that although I didn't support Thompson I do respect how he has avoided endorsing McCain. It would be easy for him to go along with the herd mentality of idiots like Gov. Perry but he hasn't.

[Sybeck1]

McCain might regret this gig before its over.

[longtermmemmory]

The senile seniors voted for:

vietname prisoner guy,
or
Mormon guy,
or
evangelical preacher guy

ZERO depth.

CPAC is a not going to even register on the public mind.

[dforest]

Actions speak louder than words. Its not what a man says but what he does that counts.

Both of these old cliches apply to McPain. So whether he is acceptable depends on a bunch of words at a conference?

If that is the case, no wonder conservatism has been swept out the door.

[Saundra Duffy]

Huckabee did NOT win in West Virginia yesterday. He cheated. Should have gone to Mitt Romney fair and square. Maybe it wasn’t illegal what Huckabee and McCain did (conspired) but it sure as heck was unethical and they got caught red handed lying to the American people. Too bad there wasn’t enough time to get the word out about that outrageous miscarriage of justice. I want to hear from the Romney voters in the WV caucus - how they feel about being robbed of their votes.

As for Mitt Romney: “One thing that is clear tonight, this campaign is going on,” said Mitt Romney tonight at a campaign rally in Massachusetts.

[xjcsa]

I think it’s time to find a third-party conservative ticket. See the tagline.

McCain/Huckabee ‘08
Could it get any worse?

rhetorical question only
NO need to answer

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Lipstick on a pig. I thought Republicans were smarter than Dims but I’m beginning to wonder.

[jmyrlefuller]

It’s likely that the next president will have four or five nominations

They've said this every election cycle since 1996, and it never happens, and they know it. We got two with the Bush administration and none in Clinton's second term. Let's give up the "five justices" drama because it's not going to happen.
