WTOK News ^

Posted on 02/08/2008 8:47:18 PM PST by No Dems 2004

Sen. Thad Cochran has shifted his support to Sen. John McCain for president. Cochran made the announcement in a statement Thursday after his first choice, former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, dropped out of the Republican race.

Mississippi's other senator, Roger Wicker, a Republican, had endorsed former Tennessee senator, Fred Thompson, who has also withdrawn from the race. Wicker has not announced his support for another candidate.

GOP Cong. Chip Pickering endorsed McCain last year. Cong. Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, has endorsed fellow Democrat, Barack Obama for president.

I can’t believe all the folks out there suffering from battered voter syndrome. McCain just recently said he’d sign the immigration bill if it hit his desk. The RNC and all of these “lifer politicians” have to be taught a lesson. You people can’t hear McCain whining, “Please mommy . . . please . . . I promise to never ever do it again if you let me go to the whitehouse just this one last time”. Send the kid packing back to his corner in Arizona to cut his own sage switch and breakout the elephant ( or should is say RINO ) guns it’s time to put some hides on the wall.

Drinking Coffee  Appeal to Authority is probably the most used (or misused) logical fallacy used in America today.

He must be a RINO. They’re all RINOs. Everywhere I look I see RINOs.

It’s starting to sound like a lot of Roman senators who know Caligula is about to take the throne. Suck up, bow your head, and keep an eye on your congressional pension.

You really are pushing this crap, aren't ya?

McShamnesty hasn't 'learned' a damn thing.

If any real conservatives fall for this cheesy line they deserve the government that's coming to them.

This ass-clown is giving us the collective finger, laughing all the way, and appeasers like you keep urging us to slurp down the Kool Aid.

Ain't gonna happen.

Be kind. It's the only arrow left in the McCain shills' quiver, really, by this point. ;)

Still waiting for McCain’s “maverick” to reveal himself.

So far, most have chosen to prostrate themselves.

Alot of “conservatives” are losing their will and their memories.

With a 2006 ACU rating of only 65 let`s review how liberal Songbird really is:

Mccain considered switching parties in 2001

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1963208/posts

McCain co sponsored an open borders bill S.1433 that would also give
Foreigners’ social security.

McCain is for tax payer funded embryonic stem cell research

The Keating 5

The gang of 14 that blocked judicial nominees

Mccain was against the Bush tax cuts

McCain even filed an amicus brief in support of his 1st amendment violating McCainFeingold BCRA

“...because §203 is UNCONSTITUTIONAL as applied to the advertisements before us, it is unnecessary to go further and decide whether §203 is unconstitutional on its face.”Opinion of ROBERTS, C. J

This sends a really positive message to conservatives worried about McCain's conservative credentials.

Pork barrel politics and pro-amnesty. Doesn't smell like much of a conservative to me.

Yup, his 2006 ACU record is 65...but he keeps talking about his overall record, must be the straight talk.

No endorsement in the world could make me vote for McCain, i’m writing in Reagan as others here have suggested.

Their argument is: it's more comforting to see a Republican destroy the Constitution. People who vote for McCain feel better about being traitors because they trus Republicans to sell them out, over Democrats. If I hear that "would you rather have Hillary?" line one more time, I'm going to have to conclude that Republicans have been so dummed down you could put up Karl Marx and they would invite him to CPAC.

Yeah...and pork-barrel politics and rewarding illegal invaders with amnesty are real hallmarks of the conservative tradition, I'm sure.

I’ve seen all that. Roberts is a fine judicial mind. Hillary or Obama’s picks would neuter Roberts however.

Very simply that he has backed away from that plan and has now become the biggest promoter of border security running

No, he has not. He says we sould deport the 2 (two) million criminal illegals. Guess what Mr McAmnesty, ALL of the (12 million plus) illegal aliens ARE criminals!!
