What drugs are you on? McCain is running neck and neck with Obama.

Bwahahahaha! yeah, while the dems are still split. watch the bump in the dem nominee's numbers once they are down to one candidate.

But that's alright, I guess, with all the money McCain and the RNC have at their disposal, their combined-cash national classified-ads campaign will surely make the difference. If not, he can always go running back to Soros with his hand out.

WTF is the matter with you? He is funded by SOROS!

McCain 2008 -Bite the pillow.

His campaign is very unorthodox. Its the first time a Democrat has ever won the GOP nomination.

Were you alive during the carter admin?

I think carter gave us Regan. Besides, with criminal loving, global warming believing Jaun, we are headed down the same road as the two communist, just one step behind them.

If I see I'm going over a cliff, I might as well run towards it to see if I can clear the rocks below and hit the water.

I believe its going to take a collapse like Russia had to convince people to seek out independence, not dependence. Placing your trust in the government always proves a disaster.

Jaun McCain will take us in the same direction as the other two democrats. When we hit the cold water, maybe we will learn to swim, not wait for someone to save us.

...drive a triangulated contrast among himself, the Democratic nominee and President Bush...

In other words, he's running as a conventional Democrat.

How many times have we heard this?

Even in Pa, Obama is outspending Hillary 7m to 2.7 million, and that is saying something about the money pouring in.

Anyone outspending a Clinton is kicking some serious azz in the fundraisers.

Clinton will flatten mccain like a day old pancake, and the dems will be back on board.
- Even Obama would endorse her were he to lose in Denver.

Can we afford that, or worse?

Yes, and yes.
Carter gave us Reagan and a new perspective about government economics and taxation, and an unashamed use of American force to further democracy, and that sir, is a bargain that I will take anytime over a McCain.

Carter continues to be an embarrassment to the Dem cause and he helps us quite a bit with his insane logic and near senile ramblings.

You really did see the boogieman, didn’t you? McCain doesn’t have to beat Hussein or the Clintons. He has to beat MSM, whoever the Demonominee is.

It would be great to show that $$$$$$ doesn’t buy an election.

McCain is smart enough to NOT take on Mrs. Clinton for his VP. His age opens up too many possibilities of taking advantage of his mortality.

McCain is NOT too old.

He is the best candidate the Republicans (I am not one of them) could come up with.

I respect him a lot.

I got a call from the RNC last night and did the same thing. I argued my points and the caller, who was polite, continued to beg, and you are right, they are begging. My son walked in while I was on the phone and heard me making my arguments. When the phone call ended he asked, “You enjoyed that didn’t you?” I can’t lie, I did.

McCain has my support for these reasons.

1. He’s going to fix this Global Warming thing. Its been going through hot and cold cycles for 10 billion years, and damn it, it’s about time someone fixed it.

2. Hes going to raise my taxes. I make way too much money for a Family of 5, and the Bush tax cut just made my life too easy. I like a little challenge in my life, like working a second job.

Regardless of whether people believe it or not, McCain has strong appeal among Independents and Dems.

Oh, darlin' we believe it. And that's the problem: he's running as a Republican. Get it?
