Sen. John McCain, taking a victory lap as the presumptive Republican nominee, happily poked fun at his only remaining opponent.
Asked during an appearance on "The Daily Show" last week which of the two Democratic nominees he preferred to run against in the general election, McCain quipped, "Ron Paul."
But Paul might get the last laugh during McCain's coronation at the party's convention in early September.
McCain's nomination may be certain, but he finds himself pressured by different wings of the conservative movement -- from the libertarians and the anti-war activists, to social conservatives and evangelical voters.

McCain will fight Islamo Fascism. There you go, the case is made.
**sigh**

Do you want a President that was endorsed by Hamas?
I saw him on the Fox News Network, amusing fellow - reminds me of a Bernie Sanders of the Isolationist Right. Worked up, crusty pale faces who need to smoke a hookah full of pot to mellow out./Just Asking - seoul62......
Yes, McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts as they were then written on that bill. But, did you pay any attention to his reason for voting against those tax cuts? He voted not against the cuts themselves, but he voted against the bill because there were no provisions for cutting spending. I happen to agree that if we are going to have these tax cuts, we also must cut spending, especially the pork. Do you have a problem with this concept?
I highly doubt that. I'm not even sure he would be a Republican, and you can quote me on that.

• As Governor Reagan signed into law the nations first No Fault Divorce Laws. Thes laws swept the nation and contributed in the break up of the American Family. "No-fault" divorce was pioneered in the United States by the state of California when Governor Ronald Reagan signed into law the Family Law Act of 1970 on September 4, 1969
• As Governor he also signed into law the right for women to have abortions. 1967 The Therapeutic Abortion Act
• 1986 As President he signed the only amnesty ever granted to illegals.
• As President he made the Federal Government twenty per cent larger .In 1981, the federal government spent $678 billion; in 1989 it spent $1.144 trillion.
• In 1982 alone, he signed into law not one but two major tax increases. The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) raised taxes by $37.5 billion per year and the Highway Revenue Act raised the gasoline tax by another $3.3 billion. In 1983, Reagan signed legislation raising the Social Security tax rate.
• 1985 raised taxes yet again. Even the Tax Reform Act of 1986
• 1988 appears to be the only year of the Reagan presidency, other than the first, in which taxes were not raised.
Who would want to quote something so silly.
I just posted a comment to this person regarding this (a later post than yours). I think yours may have gotten his/her attention better with the larger print and the bold style. I’m tired of hearing these people crying about McCain voting against the tax cut when that is not the truth.
Reference the part where I said to focus on McCain, not his opponents. I know of Obama and Clinton and never had any plans to vote for either, even in my most vicious punish-the-GOP moments.
Please, I'm not looking for a quick soundbite answer. I'm hardcore Paul, but I'm also always open to reason. Show me what is good about McCain himself. Take your time and if you make a serious effort to prove your case, I'll listen with as open a mind as I can.
I agree with you I believe he would nowadays be saying,
“I didn’t leave the Republican party, the Republican Party left me!”
Probably should have used larger print too!!! :0)
Then I guess ya won't mind when the build his presidential library with illegal labor.
Super Jackpot.
U said it for me!...Ill be a dumb ass too i guess
He has been a good caretaker, which is not as good as being an historic figure, but not as bad as being a disaster, like Carter. He has advanced conservatism in some ways during his Presidency, which means we are better off now than we would have been without him.
McCain, on the other hand.....I'm not sure conservatism would advance with him. His best selling point is that liberalism would, we think, not advance as swiftly with McCain as with Obama. But it would advance, from global warming, to illegal aliens, to restrictions on speech, to caving on everything that liberals want. Great, he is stronger on the war. So he would keep us safe in our liberal lair.
Which is infinitely better than being pressured by "different wings" such as transsexuals, NAMBLA, the ACLU, PETA, unrepentant terrorists, Hamas, the NY Times, CAIR, liberation theologists, and Barbara Streisand.
