I have read alot at various sites over the past few days. I cannot believe those who still are on their "Romney honeymoon"??? Endorsing McCain to them means that he is really a great guy with character, a real team player, a real conservative who is taking one for the team. Isn't it obvious that the man has his own interest at heart and not yours? Romney and McCain fought bitterly during the primaries, Romney accuses McCain of taking away freedom of speech (does it get worse than that!), and promises to repeal McCain-Feingold when elected. See video:

Wow! Can you Romney supporters please see the endorsement for what it really is - Romney getting in on the action for himself. If you want real change, please consider another candidate instead of the same old establishment hacks manipulating your vote.
Thank you for reading.
Romney endorsing so he could be VP? And given McCain’s age, VP has a good chance of the big P.
No, it's never ok. That said, CFR can be changed.
I will vote for McCain for one simple reason. He will put our military and the security of our country first.
I will never vote for Hillary or Obama as CiC over our military. Never. The Clinton's loathe the military and I have no idea what BHO will do about anything if he is elected but I know it won't be good for our country.
I was proud of Romney for admitting defeat with the promise of working to get a Republican elected as president.He could have gone home and pouted,he showed class and I admire him for that.
It’s called politics...It’s been around over a couple of hundred years...get use to it.
McCain and Romney’s positions are a lot better than Obama’s, unless you think winning the war on Islamo Fasism is worse than cut and run.
Hillary's positions are better than Obama's. Gonna send her a contribution?
“Sort of like what Reagan did after he lost to Ford in 1976.”
And then chose his 1980 primary rival, GHWB, as his running mate.
But in ‘08, that would be considered treasonous. Especially around here.
Hillary’s going down. It’s going to be McCain vs. Obama. One of whom will be the next POTUS.
I’ve seen worse. The day after the election 2006 was not a good day for the GOP. We spent so much time debating on whether or not we’d vote for Bush that we forgot to make time to campaign and vote to maintain a republican majority. Yes, good riddence to the RINOS but sure would have been nice to still have JD Hayworth. If we conservatives are not careful 2008 may be politics done worse.
Especially on domestic issues Im no fan of John McCain but to vote for Hillary or Obama is to vote against the War In Iraq. I suppose we must ask ourselves if we want those soldiers who have died already to have died in vein.
A President Obama WILL claim his victory was a referendum on ending the War On Terror. I guess we should consider this and focus on getting back a majority in congress so that a President Obama will not have his party in control for the 4 to 8 years.
Sadly, Hillary is right. McCain is almost another 4 years of George Bush. There are differences, but not enough, if you ask me.
There is just so much up with which I am willing to put. :{)
I guess that phony conservatives will support the candidate that is best for the country. While true conservatives will settle for nothing less than a total conservative defeat. (that way we have a lot more to complain about.)
““Sort of like what Reagan did after he lost to Ford in 1976.”
Reagan fought Ford all the way into the convention, and then was still fighting.
This is typical of the Romney nonsense, his fans are comparing him to Reagan when in reality McCain is still being challenged by Huckabee and we are many months before the convention.
The one term governor from Massachusetts had his shot, pumped in 50 million dollars of his own money to give himself a chance and now after being forced to drop out of a three man race he is formally and enthusiastically endorsing John McCain.
>The key vote of the convention occurred when Reagan’s managers proposed a rules change that would have required Ford to publicly announce his running mate before the presidential balloting. Reagan’s managers hoped that when Ford announced his choice for vice-president, it would anger one of the two factions of the party and thus help Reagan. The proposed rules change, however, was defeated by a vote of 1180 to 1069, and Ford gained the momentum he needed to win the nomination. The balloting for president was still close, however, as Ford won the nomination with 1187 votes to 1070 votes for Reagan (and one for Elliot L. Richardson of Massachusetts).
Reagan endorsed Ford after his defeat, and gave an eloquent and stirring speech that overshadowed Ford’s own acceptance address. Some delegates later stated that they left the convention wondering if they had voted for the wrong candidate.<
I dunno, ask all the freepers who hailed Fred Thompson as the second coming of Ronald Reagan and the saivor of the GOP. As near as I can tell, it works like this for them:
Pre-Fred Thompson candidacy: Actively working to enact McCain-Feingold is a deal-breaker for me and ANY candidate who supported that legislation will NEVER get my vote and has no buisness running for President.
During Fred Thompson candidacy: Fred was instrumental in passing McCain-Feingold and to this day refuses to promise to repeal it? Oh well, nobody's perfect. Fred had very good motives, he was just trying to get rid of all the corruption in politics at the time. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Post-Fred Thompson candidacy: Actively working to enact McCain-Feingold is a deal-breaker for me and ANY candidate who supported that legislation will NEVER get my vote and has no buisness running for President.
LOL!
Hillary has a lifetime ACU rating of 9%. Obama has a lifetime ACU rating of 8%.
Yes and we lost Jim Talent in Missouri in 2006. I was depressed for weeks over that loss.
Did YOU vote for President Bush in 2000? If so, did you vote for him in 2004?
President Bush signed McCain-Feingold Bill.
We cannot afford that again in 2008 in fact we can not afford what we have now. We need more conservatives in congress and I hope we can get that majority back.
This year is a disaster in politics, without a doubt. I take some solice in the fact that America is strong and resilient, and it will take alot more than Obama in the White House to destroy her. If one man can do it in four years, as some have predicted, then we didn’t have much going for us in the first place. We have had horrible presidents before and we will again. This country is the greatest on the fact of the earth and will remain so, not because of the president, but because of the people.
And you signed up two days ago to post a vanity. Go away.
Just as I figured. A two-day-old newbie posts an inane vanity and then gives no response to comments. That is the classic behavior of a TROLL!
Yes, but Americans also vote on the direction America goes and unfortunately there has been no conservative leader out there to educate and sell the conservative pholosophy for quite some time. The youth of America do not even feel being a Communist is such a taboo as it was a decade ago. Their leaders have been socialist teachers and professors. Just a few days ago I saw a young adult of about 20 years old wearing a shirt with the red letters CCCP!
If we want conservatism to win we must have a leader out there selling it.
