[Sen. Orrin] Hatch to Paul backers: Support John McCain

Agreed. McCain was between a rock and a hard place, though. He really didn’t get enough motivated delegates in places like Nevada. If the Nevada state convention was run fairly, Ron Paul would certainly have picked up a majority of the delegates, although they would have been bound by whatever rules. As it stands now, I don’t know what is going to happen regarding the Nevada delegation. I assume there’s going to be a credentials fight at the convention.

The GOP and McCain have been pulling a wide variety of sleazy tricks to try to prevent dedicated Ron Paul people from becoming delegates. Other Ron Paul supporters have been watching this process and getting less and less likely to support McCain because of the mistreatment by the various state parties.

Fine, McCain, do everything in your power to make sure that Ron Paul supporters don’t get to be delegates. I know that if half the delegates were Ron Paul supporters and were bound to support McCain, there would still be pretty interesting “Ron Paul” chants from the convention floor. That’s not something that McCain would’ve liked.

On the other hand, can McCain do without votes from Ron Paul supporters?

You know, Ron Paul got 22% in Lancaster County. Roughly 20% overall in the strongly Republican South Central region with Harrisburg, Lancaster, York. McCain (or the various State Parties) have upset quite a large number of Conservative Republican Voters in Pennsylvania.

I guess Pennsylvania isn’t in play this year.

Hatch also said McCain was adamantly opposed to earmarks, also known as pork barrel spending, and conceded the national Republican Party has “lost its way or at least people think we did.”

Reading this, it appears that Hatch thinks the Republicans were acting as Republicans should.

It's obvious that conservative ideals aren't a valued part of the Republican Party.

can you post to me, by private freepmail, the HTML code for that Juan McCain/Sombrero template? Then I can track McCain articles over here, when you guys are sleeping in the US , I will take a look during our daytime here in Asia and post; that way we can have a seemless 24\7 tag team truth squad on McCain going on FR. Thanks.

When people become more mature and adult like they lose patience with people that want to remain in a constant stupor through life.

Marijuana was popularized in the 1960’s and great tool to help indoctrinate young waisted minds. That means going with the flow or to the left or liberal mindset back then. What % of potheads in the 1960’s were Republicans?

Most people love to self medicate with this drug and continue to think is harmless, but is it?

Most of the seeds now producing marijuana are either grown Hydroponically or a by-product relative to the process which means the THC levels are extremely higher than in the 1960’s. THC can be as high as 28% according to the DEA.

This drug is not your fathers Oldsmobile This drug is capable of turning our entire nation into the Jerry Springer show if it hasn't already. I don't like to see our country that dysfunctional.

Sorry
