John McCain For President: A Hero Leader
Editorial Pittsburgh Tribune-Review February 10, 2008
You have to hand it to John McCain. He has an impeccable sense of timing.
At the very moment that a dangerously fractured Republican Party could have disintegrated -- Thursday, when Mitt Romney, the darling of the anti-McCain crowd exited the race -- Sen. McCain delivered a stunning speech to the annual gathering of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington.
Certainly, there was a measured sense of rebuke in the words of the Arizona senator who now has a virtual lock on the GOP presidential nomination. Fiercely independent, McCain made no apologies for positions he holds dear but may be at odds with the traditional conservative base.
But McCain also offered an impressive tutorial on what the core of conservatism really is -- small government, fiscal discipline, low taxes, a strong defense and a judiciary that does not legislate from the bench.
And in the starkest of terms, John McCain reminded those gathered at CPAC and those watching nationwide that the alternative -- freedom-stripping, purse-robbing and security-endangering Democrats -- is no alternative at all.
It was the speech of a hero leader at the exact moment when America is in dire need of heroes and leaders. And we wholeheartedly endorse John McCain for president.

He is vindictive, and Bush had just beaten him in 2000, I can also post a utube interview where he is very angry about the way Jeffords was being asked by the Republicans to vote their way (wow, now that’s unusual/s), and defended his jump.
Richard Mellon Scaife met with one Bill Clinton this year and the two shared some laughs. It was covered in the British press.
If this article had managed to suppress it’s obvious spin and keep to the facts (which are out there) why McCain is or should be the nominee, I could at least take it seriously.
As it is, MSM articles like this just make conservatives or any thinking American with an IQ above room temperature, shudder.
This much is absolutely certain: More McQueeg supporters have signed up on this forum since 2007 than in its previous 10 years of its existence combined.
“my White House”
I visited for the first time in my life 2 summers ago. I was given a personal tour by my brother. I walked along with him, softly touching banisters and chairs. I felt the floor beneath each step I took. The emotion of it finally overtook me and my brother hugged me tightly, laughing, and said, “Don’t feel bad, I ended up in the bathroom twice, the first day I arrived”.
He’s “rebuking” us now.
The answer’s STILL NO!!
Lenin’s birthday. How fitting.
So far all I have heard from McCain are nice, cheap words. Here’s where I am at. If McCain goes out and picks a real conservative VP such as Fred, Duncan Hunter, or I would even take an off the board pick such as JC Watts or Bill Bennett, then I might consider holding my nose under the logic that at least the most McCain can be in office is 8 years then we get another shot at a conservative. I can rationalize that 8 years of McCain is better than 4 years of Hillary or Obama.
But if he does what I think he will do....Huckster, Lindsey Graham, or some other wonderful “moderate” then I dont know what I will be doing that day, but it wont be voting for McCain. I cant go with 8 years of McCain then another 4 to 8 of another milktoast moderate. I wont kiss the chance of a conservative goodbye for that long.
So ball is in your court John....are we just paying lipservice to the right, or do you mean it?
They are perfectly happy with McCain, but have realized too late that there are unswayable conservatives and evangelicals that have doomed McCain and may take out many down ticket Republicans as well. They fell into the MSM trap by allowing a Democrat in an elephant suit to stay in their party where the MSM could polish him up and throw mud at his conservative acceptable competition until only McCain is left standing.
They don't call Republicans the Stupid Party for nothing.
Even the tiny pro Republican part of the MSM didn't see this coming, so all they can do is laud McInsane as a superhero candidate trying to feed the same horse manure to conservatives that they won't accept from the New York Times. Talk about desperation.
The clubbies are witnessing the destruction of the Republican party with no hope of preventing the ultimate ruination.
There is only ONE chance.....Dick Cheney.
“Syrup of Ipecac Alert”
Will that work? :p
Please tell me what is a “Hero.” Just because he was captured by the North Vietnamese and held as a prisoner of war does NOT make him a hero. Tell me what heroic acts he has proformed. By your definition that McCain is a hero, all the millions of illegal aliens that are caught by the Border Patrol are also HEROS.
Of course, you're not alone. And a lot of us never want to see a cut and run Obama sitting in the Oval Office either.
Much of this thread cracks me. Bound to end up on Comedy Central.
Conservatives in a mad thrashing panic turn cannibal.
Do you want me to post the tony snow interview are do you want to look it up.

I love your new party slogan, but this year, I’ll pass.
I’m going to be a maverick, like your hero.
Yup, and so was Adolph Hitler in WW1, and of course, though fictionally, so was Captain Queeg.
I wish the Vote for McCain cuz he is better than Hillobama crowd would just be honest and stop trying to build up the nutball beyond what he really is, they might actually get a few anti-McCain's to cast their vote his way.....maybe.
He is no hero.
He is the Traitorous Bastard. The Betrayer.
He is without honor, and unworthy of support.
Flat Bush!
