Ft. Hard Knox ^ | February 7, 2008 | Orlando

Tom DeLay went after John McCain on Hardball with Chris Matthews. In it, he discusses McCain’s stand on immigration and global warming.

VIDEO - 7:14 mins

------

After John McCain’s speech at CPAC, Tom DeLay said in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC “Hardball”, that Mr. McCain had failed to acknowledge or repent his many votes and campaigns where he had waged war against the Right. Tom said, "He (McCain) didn't make many friends here today." DeLay concluded his interview to Matthews final question by stating “If he continues to be the same old John McCain that has disdain for the conservatives, then I’m not sure who’s the most dangerous to be in the White House” (Hillary/Obama or McCain). - TAB

I have never been a take my ball and go home guy if a candidate doesn't support 100% of my beliefs. With that said I think McCain only supports the WOT and just about everytihng else he's in moonbat land on. It certainly is the most difficult choice I've had to make on an election since I've been voting, not about whom to vote for but whether or not I should just sit home.

I live in CT so there are no republicans to vote for down ticket, well except for Chris Shays and he aint much of a Republican and besides I think his number is finally up. He's going to be defeated and it will make it a clean slate, the entire New England states, CT, MA, ME, NH, RI,VT will not have a single Republican in the House of Representatives. How truly pathetic, and this is what our moderates have brought us, weak, pantywaist, comprimising twits. And as soon as the viscous left can run a candidate to replace them, as they will have managed to do in all 6 New England states they will throw the useful idiots out the door.

So, I think the winds of change are against us and I beleive Obama will be our next President. He will also likely get a veto proof majority and with his firm set socialist agenda and the strength and experience of the Kenendy, Reid, Pelosi, Rangel, Schummer, Boxer, Durbin, Waxmman, Watters, etc., crowd behind him we will have an additonal 20 million 'democrats" in the blink of an eye, universal healthcare (well universal anyway) capitulation in the WOT and a fast declinning military capability, abortion provided on demand paid for with our ever increasing tax dollars, global warming as the new state religion, state control over our children from age 2 on, and on and on and on.

So, in the end, I suppose I will begrudginly go the polls for McCain for the sake of my own concience and who knows maybe we'll get lucky and he will win and our slide to oblivion will not move quite as quickly under his watch as it surely will under Obama or hillary's, giving us a couple of years to gather a slight majority (if there are that many left) of Americans who still value freedom, liberty and individualism.

You’re right, what should happen probably won’t.

I’ve never been a party faithful and can’t understand those who put party over all.

But there here, on this forum and on this thread.

I must agree with your post, this election will be my toughest voting position yet...McCain or stay home.
I cannot see myself voting for someone who’s beliefs are pro-global warming, anti-life, pro-illegals, anti-tax, anti-interrogation, anti-Gitmo....and that includes the candidate with an “R” behind his name!?!?
If I do pull the lever for Juan it’s because I don’t think he’ll leave us as vulnerable to the Islamofacists as much as the Dims would.
Personally I believe the whole country’s goinge from red/white/and blue to totally screwed after ‘08

Sad that its come to this, yet you make a good point.

I appreciate the input from you and marlon.

McCain is not a Republican. You simply have to have some rationale for saying you "never speak ill." If Barbara Streisand joined the party? Paula Poundstone? If Karl Marx joined the party?

I mean if you want a fantasy life, think about Thelma Hayek, but don't indulge the notion that John McCain is a Republican.

“The GOP could change their Mascot to the Taco Bell Chihuahua. A shivering party lapdog seems pretty appropriate these days.”

That is a great image.

Fine. I eagerly await your definition of what McCain is.

....and please, do not reply RINO. That is so infantile.

Thank God there are still some principled Republicans left. Unfortunately, DeLay will probably be ostracized.

Video: Tom DeLay CPAC Interview with Fox News Neil Cavuto

...."I was disappointed in this day. Romney could have been the spear carrier for the conservatives and the Republican Party and he chose not to run." DeLay then dismantles John McCain and his CPAC speech.

I watched on television Laura Ingraham introduce Mitt Romney at CPAC. She called him "the conservative’s conservative." What a con and a sham. Then Tom makes this statement about the liberal former Governor of Massachusetts. Shows how the National Republican Party has collapsed under King Jorge and how desperate they are. Neither Tom nor Laura would support the only two true conservatives in the presidential race being Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. -- TAB

How about "traitor?" He's a traitor to the Constitution (1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment at least). He's a traitor to his fellow veterans, whose records he blocked from MIA families. He's a traitor to the Reagan tax revolution--voting against Bush tax cuts and announcing he will keep the death tax in place. He's a traitor to good science, as he won't miss an opportunity to hold up a "save our seasons" placard. He's a traitor to good manners, as he tells his colleagues to "F-" off whenever he can't martial his facts.

He's a traitor. And anyone who votes for him, knowinghis deficiencies, is a traitor.

Tom Delay is an American hero. After the Clintons sent Newt and Livingston packing, Delay stepped up and filled the vaccuum and was more responsible for the impeachment taking place than any other single person. After the Clintons took out TWO speakers, they thought impeachment would NEVER happen. The Hammer said think again.

Tom DeLay got everything he wanted while in congress. He spent the GOP into oblivion....he is one of the BIG FAT REASONS why we lost the congress in 2006.

Thank you. Someone gets it. Never could understand the DeLay worship around here.

Traitor huh?

Quite the accusation. I disagree. I can only assume he is a traitor in the Benedict Arnold mold and should be hanged? Right? The questions are rhetorical and there is really no need to answer. I already know your answers.

Jeez.
