What? Ar you living in another universe? Doesn’t matter what McLame says, you will try to convince yourself he never said it.

Grain of salt. How about words coming out of McCain’s lips. Do you believe those words?

Geesh, what does it take to see reality?

it would be more accurate to say that McCain negotiated a compromise on an immigration bill with Kennedy.

Good freaking Lord, BF, you consider that bill a compromise?
To what? Flying the Mexican flag and kicking the whites out?

Of course .. and it was clear from his statement that he still was not buying it .. because his words were .. “the people want” .. never did he say I WANT.

But .. it may not be perfect .. I’ll take it anyway.

And .. from the FOX Special tonight on the oil situation - McCain may have to change his stand on ANWR - and agree with the people .. even if he doesn’t personally want to drill there.

^^^^^^^^^When it comes to terrorism, who would you vote for?^^^^^^^^^^^

Joe Lieberman. Oh wait, he’s not on the ballot. But Lieberman has a lot in common with McCain. He’s liberal on just about all the issues except terrorism.

At least Lieberman doesn’t lie about being a conservative while attacking conservatives daily.

^^^^^^^^^^^Other than that I can’t really count on the guy for anything principled.^^^^^^^^^^

If McCAin had at least treated conservatives with respect or even no treatment at all, maybe I could join you.

But after the past 8 years, a vote for him is uncivilized.

That’s a good point.

McCain is not strong on *TERRORISM*.

McCAin is strong on *IRAQ*. One doesn’t necessarily mean the other.

GWB is strong on reforming social security, tax cuts, but weak on fiscal policy. So he’s weak on fiscal policy. Same difference.

Quit if you want. At least I have hope he may nominate at least one Conservative to the Supreme court. Better yet he may select a Conservative for VP...I consider his nomination a setback but the war of ideas isn't lost yet.

I’m not the one who’s quitting.

The republican party wants to go liberal. I reject that. The only real thing I can do is vote against their liberal nominee and hope that the next time around goes better.
