"You can't win the White House just by saying you're not Hillary Clinton," said Jon Fleischman, publisher of the conservative Web site Flashreport.org and a vice chair of the California Republican Party. "Before he focuses on her, he's got to focus on his base. And he doesn't have it yet.".......

He's seen as too liberal for his party's base and too conservative for independent voters who want to end the war in Iraq.
His speech before the influential Conservative Political Action Conference will show whether he can start to mend his relationship with the conservative activists .....
Each of the remaining GOP presidential candidates - in addition to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney - will address its 6,000 attendees over the next three days.....

ROFL!
This epic typo has made my day!
Sausage = coarsely ground baloney...
ROTFL!!!!
Damn, I love sausage, but it will be months before I can look at another one.
Somebody needs to send this to Rush.
I was thinking about sending it to Ingraham.
I was sausaged by my last employer of 35 years so I know what McCain has in store for me.......
He’s already sausaged us many a time.
Perfect!
A RINO screwing an Elephant!
Would you like sausage with your beeber?
This is an incredible election. I amaze daily at it. The libs don’t even need to run against McCain. His base is doing it for them. What a riot.
PS The “Straight Talk Express” was just noted as entering I-20 into Texas. Look out down there Deep in the Heart.
Assuage, Sausage, same thing when it comes to McCain
And the sausages he’s tried to ram into conservatives are:
Amnesty Sausage
Higher Taxes Sausage
McCain-Fiengold/Kennedy/Leiberman Sausage
Close Gitmo Sausage
Sell-Out-to-the-Rats Sausage
Stem Cell Research Sausage
Mentally Unstable Sausage
No thanks.
“a weiner”
And if I were . . . then everyone would be in love with me,
and I’d build their damfence . . .
With his mantra being " 'Tis better to give, than to receive".
Then you need to compare our economy to that of other nations.....low unemployment, growth in manufacturing orders..low interest rates...stop listening to the negative Democratic controlled press.......get out and give positive support to your party so we can elect good Supreme Court Justices and fight socialized medicine.
