Yet another conservative rallies behind Senator McCain. This sends a really positive message to conservatives worried about McCain's conservative credentials. Thad Cochran, in particular, had been quoted as being very hostile to McCain

I think conservatives are simply going to have to realize that Senator McCain has learned from his mistakes. After all, most here rallied around Romney, in spite of his very chequered past.

I’ve been wondering how many FBI files McCain has.....or how many “chits” he’s calling in.....

More likely you’ll get the “I’d rather pour gasoline on myself and let Hillary light the match” crowd.

Given that he was out supporting Bush's amnesty plan just a few months ago, what evidence is there to back that statement up?

Isn’t Cochran a huge porker? He’s just kissing ass since McCain won.

Beside does it matter if I support ..... or he supports ....

Do you support him>

LOL, now that is funny! McCain considers nothing he has done as a mistake, since he has beaten us, he has won, why would he think he has made a mistake?

Bookmarking for the first “global warming” legislation these “conservatives” pass, telling us the gov can control the weather and the earths temperature, lol.

Good grief.

An endorsement doesn’t take away the fact that he’s been giving conservatives the finger for years.

(Another conservative endorses McCain)

You mean another pseudo conservative posing as the real thing trying to give us the used car salesman scam.

This title will cause MASS CARDIAC ARREST here on FR. This looks to be another 400 post thread with all the no-vote promises written in blood, etc., etc., etc.

This is exactly the problem of the Republicans.

They compromise.

Why not stand up for something? Simply saying I’ll support it or him, even though it is not the best thing.(Amnesty, Feingold, etc.)

Congress is filled with followers, compromise, unity. We need Leadership, not Kumbaya.

Cochran Endorses McCain

A foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution must surely be our solution!

Oops! Wrong Cochran.

The real question is will McCain sign Senator Jeff Sessions amnesty pledge and get Session’s endorsement. It was my impression that any Sessions endorsement would be predicated on signing that pledge.

Fallacious arguments: Appeals to Authority.

If Thad Cochran were to publicly announce, bright and early tomorrow morning, that John Edwards was "a loyal, traditional conservative," would that be enough for you... or: would you, instead, insist upon judging the latter on his record? And just what sort of "conservative" is it, precisely, that attempts to violently cram another 30,000,000+ illegal aliens down our collective throats -- America's borders and national security be damned -- anyway? Hmmm?

Drinking Coffee  Just five days ago Thad Cochran said this of McCain:   Link

"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Sen. Thad Cochran/a> (R-Miss.), also a senior member of the Appropriations panel, told the Boston Globe recently. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

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.

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.

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