Threat? What, are they enemies or something..o brother.
Context my man.
“”Up until two weeks ago, John McCain was a leading proponent of amnesty. Now with me challenging him, suddenly he has changed.”
...J.D. Hayworth on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 in an interview on the Fox Business Network
McCain has even acknowledged the change of heart, telling O’Reilly on April 19, 2010, that, “I changed [my mind] over a year ago, as you know. The violence on the border is incredible.”
5'7"
;-) Just trying to add my 2 cents to the lame excuse files.
From May 14, 2010...
"McCain maintains his positions remain consistent with the tactical shift he made in 2007 during the GOP presidential-primary race. Citing the public outcry that killed comprehensive reform that year, McCain started saying that the border must be secured before addressing other reforms such as a guest-worker program or a path to citizenship. His campaign points out that even the 2007 comprehensive bill included 370 miles of border fencing and 200 miles of vehicular barriers."
The only change in his position was to agree to seal the border first, before his amnesty plan.
God, I hope so.
Don’t get me wrong... I LOVE Sarah, but Mike is a much better POTUS candidate.
Your post is not relevant to the perception that people were given, including his Primary opponent JD Hayworth. Also, McCain’s own comments regarding his position illustrate McCain not supporting amnesty.
Steinhauser reports that over the three days she spent with the McCain campaign, the most commonly asked question was why he supported amnesty for illegal aliens.
McCains answer
I never supported amnesty.
So, given this, Palin simply stating that she “supported McCain’s position during the campaign, does not circumvent her own position of “I don’t support amnesty”.
Do you seriously think McCain would admit he supports amnesty? Seriously? He plays the same word games that you do. He changed his position on securing the border first, but did not change his position on supporting a path to citizenship. Hayworth knows this, as do Conservatives who aren’t blind.
Mike Pence is a lifelong Hoosier and national advocate for limited government, fiscal discipline, a strong national defense, and traditional moral values.
Pence has opposed bailouts, government takeovers and runaway federal spending throughout his time in Congress.
Mike Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, graduated from Hanover College in 1981 and earned his J.D. from Indiana University School of Law in 1986. Pence was first elected to Congress in 2000 and was most recently elected to a fifth term in November of 2008. He also was elected unanimously by House Republicans to serve as House Republican Conference Chairman in November 2008.
In his role as Conference Chairman, he helps to develop and disseminate the message of the Republican Conference and to promote its Members. Republican Leader John Boehner described Pence as "a servant leader and cheerful warrior who will never lay down his arms in the fight for a government that honors our Constitution and reflects the consent of the governed."
Prior to being elected to Congress, Pence was president of the conservative Indiana Policy Review Foundation and hosted The Mike Pence Show, a syndicated radio show throughout the state of Indiana. He also hosted a Sunday morning political television show in Indianapolis. Congressman Pence describes himself as "a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order." Congressman Pence and his wife Karen have three children and reside in Columbus, Indiana. The Pence family lives in Arlington, Virginia while Congress is in session.
no offense, but no one, IMHO, is a threat to Sarah.....
I am not tying to fight the inside elite. I am not so ambitious. I am just looking for somebody to cut the budget, stabilize taxes, rationalize regulation, assert our interest internationally, eliminate the deficit and save the country.
But I don't want to go takin' on the inside elite... That's crazy talk!
..and yet she is slightly to the right of GWB if I read correctly
I'm afraid that the pack mentality can deafen ears to the wisdom in the warnings you offer re coronation.
ALSO many are learning that getting into a verbal battle with the pissant is like attacking somebody with a plastic picnic knife--not realizing he has a chainsaw LOL
Weak strawman.
The point is not what McCain does, we all know he is an amnesty loving RINO. He’s already flipped back.
What is relevant in this conversation is that McCain gave the impression that he did NOT support amnesty in the last election when Gov. Palin made her comments.
So, her comments regarding McCain don’t circumvent her belief, that she states emphatically, that she does NOT support amnesty. She even references kicking them out.
She may decide not to run. She may make a game changing mistake in an interview or debate.
But barring that, she WILL win the R nomination.
And if the economy is similar or worse than today, she WILL win the Presidency.
This is an utterly false and imbecilic statement.
II - "Its hilarious."
What's hilarious, Junior, is part I of your remarks.
Pence is hardly part of "the Establishment".
What he is: a bona fide conservative, Christian, affable, and extremely bright.
Now if they could just send everyone else home and it just be a Pence vs Palin primary, I’d be happy.
America wins either way.
If you are mad and insist on calling me Jr. ...fine.
But we don’t have disagreement. Pence is one of my favorite conservatives, I actually like him better than DeMint.
If you go back and look at my comment precisely, I stated that “the Establishment is looking for...”. I did not call Pence part of the Establishment. So, we have no argument here. Palin/Pence would be a great ticket.
