Yeah... I was kidding (kind of)

60 Minutes did a piece on McCain last night whre he was talking about how the Republicans were wrong about the environment, how the party had to increase its base and reach out to democrats. If he wants to reach out, wouldn’t having Hillary as veep do the trick for him?

This election is sooooo painful!

You’re right! But do you think the frightened little P.C. Senatorial twit from AZ would ever take a lesson in courage from even Peter King??? As I said Peter’s been on the right side of at least a couple of issues and the WOT is one of ‘em!!!

Forget the Constitution Party for now! Vote for Nader the Arab with the GANG-GREEN Party and really hurt the Demonicrats with your vote. Voting Constitution Party won’t hurt or help anybody at this stage.

He may not be a conservative, but his remarks were fair game and shouldn’t have been denounced. The man was just pointing out that our enemies will appreciate the weaknesses of Obama. That should matter. Now McCain can argue about whether that is a true or false statement, but he is most inappropriate to argue that the statement should not be made.

By the time this campaign is over McCain will have alienated everyone.

Maybe. Or he might wait to repudiate some until after the election, like he did with Hagee. Use 'em first. I guess King was disadvantaged in that he served no immediate use.

Ann Coulter is probably on to something.

Over the weekend, I heard the campaign say that Rep King was not part of the campaign and it was kind of left there. Fine. But today they actually go through the trouble to aggravate his potential supporters with this nonsense. Bill Cunningham dropped his support -- maybe Rep King should also.

Since his CPAC speech, McCain has failed to do even one thing to convince wary conservatives to support him. Instead, he has used two opportuninties to diss Republican conservatives.

That’s ridiculous. McCain needs to learn to not comment on everything. The same thing was said about John Kerry in ‘04, esp. when Osama made a video right before the elections.

When will this freakin guy stop apologizing.

If there are any GOP McCain hacks in here....please implore McCain to quit apologizing. It’s all I can do to vote for the lout. But this sickening strategy will soon have me back out of that decision which I debate with myself every single day.
