You know . . .I have to wonder how the *bleep* did McCain ever win the Repub nomination. He certainly was not my choice, and he doesn't seem to be the choice of most Freepers.

Who's in charge of the Repub party, us normal people, or some big-wigs in a backroom somewhere? I myself was initially for Fred Thompson, and I still think he'd make a good Prez (better than either candidate the Repubs or the Demos selected!). A Thompson/Palin ticket sounds good to me. I may be in the minority, but be that as it may, Reagan lost the nomination in 1976 because most Repubs can't see very far into the future (something they share with the Demos, unfortunately).

Ah, well. Sometimes the nation needs an idiot (like Carter or BO) to show us how stupid we can be sometimes.

I don't know WHAT happened that gave us McCain.....I was all for Fred....or Rudy...but would have supported Mitt.....

maybe its true that we peasants actually think we vote for the Prez but maybe the CFR and the Bilderbunch etc run the whole show...who the primaries will go for...who will win...its like a game and every knows the end result and supposed to be good sports and all...

Dole and McCain....two veterans who lets face it....laid down the election on us.....
