“It was the Gang of 14 compromise that ultimately got us both Alito and Roberts and may protect the Republicans from being screwed over if a Democrat ever makes it to the white house. What the republicans wanted to do about ending.”
That’s been the spin from the McCain camp but actually it isn’t true at all. Several good judges did not get confirmed precisely because of the gang of 14. Read Hugh Hewitt’s article on that, for example.
Though I disagree with Bush on several issues, I also believe he’s a sincere Christian with integrity. I also believe McCain’s integrity is severely lacking. Suffice to say, I don’t trust his “word” on anything. That’s mainly why I can’t at this point support him.
BTW, maybe there are people in the Bush administration who’d like to close Gitmo, but at least Bush himself knows better; McCain does not.
Well I can't at this point support him either. At this point I've got nowhere else to turn but Huckabee. At this point I'm supporting Huckabee.
After the convention, I expect that I will be supporting McCain. Right now, I'd crawl across a mile of broken glass to head off a nomination by McCain and I'd vote for Hucakbee if I had the opportunity. But I don't.
I squandered my vote on Romney and he rewarded me by handing all his delegates to McCain.
