John McCain made dismissive remarks about the conservative loyalty of Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito per Bob Novak and John Fund per Jed Babbin on HumanEvents.com.
Will McCain then in reality appoint conservative Supreme Court justices? In two years, over half of the present justices will be over 70. It could be that McCain will have four or five nominations in his pocket. To what political slant will those nominations commit?
Can conservative Republicans trust McCain to appoint those like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito? Will McCain appoint only justices with strict constructionist positions? Will he war against foes to see that conservatives sit on the bench, particularly if confronted with a Democrat-controlled Senate?
What about the Iraq surge? McCain says he is remaining committed to the surge, claiming it is working. Some review the situation as the surge closing out. By 2008 spring, surge troop power will phase out due to strength waning.
What will McCain do then? Conservatives await his strategy. Those pro-staying put in Iraq until victory is realized want to know.
What about Americas evangelicals? McCain has rattled their cages per Focus on the Family founders Dr. James Dobson.
Dobson underlined that he cannot endorse McCain because the latter did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage.
MCain voted for embryonic stem-cell research to kill nascent human beings.
McCain opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty.
McCain has little regard for freedom of speech.
McCain organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters in judicial hearings.
McCain has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language.
I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has sounded at times more like a member of the other party.
McCain actually considered leaving the GOP caucus in 2001, and approached John Kerry about being Kerrys running mate in 2004.
Further, can McCain resist wearing two garbsone Republican and the other Democrat? Will he quit playing both sides and become an honest-to-God conservative Republican? His history says otherwise.
Because of this, many conservatives claim they are going to sit out the vote in November. They will not compromise their convictions because of McCain having a history of opportunistically compromising his.
About immigration, McCain claims hes aware that border security is prime. However, on another day he tells media that hes not quite sure of its primacy. Hes blurred in his responses.
Conservatives immediately pick up on his hesitancy for those insisting on secure borders dont waffle.
McCain must put his name on law that rejects citizenship for illegals already housing hereup to 20 million of them. McCain must repeat that commitment over and over again for any conservatives to believe him on that issue as well as all others.
So when McCain requests conservatives to calm down about his liberalism, there are many reasons for conservatives to scream at the top of their lungs.
NRO endorsed Romney.
I'm writing in "Bullwinkle."
“Who do you suppose Hillary or Osama would appoint?”
Who would McCain appoint?
The “D”.
I love it.
“If 200,000 of Americas finest can drop their lives and join the military to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan, then I think I (we) owe them are support.”
John McCain is OWED the same amount of support he gave to Don Rumsfeld(A true great American).
We just did exactly that recently.
The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
But there was one subject that was off-limits, a subject the Arizona senator almost never brings up and has never been open about -- his long-time opposition to releasing documents and information about American prisoners of war in Vietnam and the missing in action who have still not been accounted for. Since McCain himself, a downed Navy pilot, was a prisoner in Hanoi for 5 1/2 years, his staunch resistance to laying open the POW/MIA records has baffled colleagues and others who have followed his career. Critics say his anti-disclosure campaign, in close cooperation with the Pentagon and the intelligence community, has been successful. Literally thousands of documents that would otherwise have been declassified long ago have been legislated into secrecy.

You are an astute poster.
Ruth Ginzberg was never young ~ she’s been a poisonous old bat from the beginning.
Johnny, we already know you too well.
McCain has sown the wind, and now he will reap the whirlwind.
Rumsfeld was against the surge, on that, McCain was correct.

McCain says:
"Why don't you shut your political pie hole?"
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)
"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."
John McCain, enemy of free speech
Did you play with that pic or is FOX News just Fair and Balanced? LOL
It hasn't met ... and he isn't the official candidate.
I want McCain to see and feel the conservative base he has lost. That is why I’m going to contribute $.02 to his campaign; and promise to work as hard for him, as he did during W’s first term.
ok now who do you want instead? ultra-liberal quasi-communist Barack Obama?
Post of the day.... applause for Rabbi Spero.
John McCain has indeed brought the Republican Party crashing down to the ground, a dying elephant in its last throes.
Besides the fact that Libertarians have never appealed to me and Ron Paul is a certified nutburger, I could not vote for an anti-war spoiler in war time.
