I'm suprised that Michael Barone was conned so completely.
McCain would be a disaster for the country. He is as phony as a three dollar bill.
I think the man is unstable at best. Can you imagine him with his finger on the red war button?
I'm defending McCain here because I believe he can beat Hillary Clinton and every other Democrat who might be nominated.
I don't yet feel the same way about Mike Pence or George Allen or whoever else might pop up.
I'm pulling for Guiliani. I don't agree with him on social issues like abortion but I think he'd be stable and conservative on fiscal stuff.
McCain drives me crazy, but he has always been pro-life. My fear is that we'll have to have a choice...the hildebeast or McCain...And quite frankly, NEVER Hilary.
"What the hell is the matter with you?"
Nastiness is tedious and only serves to undermine credibility. Enough.
You are right. McCain would *not* make a good President, for reasons having nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with personality.
There are certain types that make great 'loose cannons' and bad leaders. McCain is one. Howard Dean is another.
As for Barone saying McCain's stance on immigration, being more for open-border-amnesties than the administration, and co-sponsoring a bill with Ted Kennedy ... well, he's nuts.
GOP voters want an end to illegal immigration and the border s secured.
"LOL!! Depends who he's running against."
That's really the right answer ... right now, I can't think of a decent Conservative to support except for George Allen.
If it's a bunch of moderates and second-tier conservatives, he has a chance.
None.
And I think she will lose between 3 and 5 states that Kerry did carry.
I give what I get. Address your comments to GOPGuide.
I don't know if Richardson is an adulterer or not (that ought to help him in the Democratic primaries), but there must be something in his background that caused Gore and Kerry to pass him over for VP. He seems like such an obvious choice because he counts as Hispanic.
"I don't yet feel the same way about Mike Pence or George Allen or whoever else might pop up."
Ok, now there are two I'd love to support: Mike Pence and George Allen.
Oh, and Mitt Romney in a pinch.
WIth telecom companies, he is usually in favor of deregulating them (one of the very very very very very few things he does right).
He isn't keen on bringing back bacon for his state, and since he is pretty safe as an incumbant (or thinks he is), he doesn't see a need to bring any pork back.
Pork might be the only thing you will ever see Senator Coburn and McCain agree on.
And Coburn is never going to bring back pork to his state.
Just reading the title/headline is enough to make me gag!
No he's not. He's the reason why I can't get the east and west coast feeds of the networks or the Denver 5. He's also all about giving them what they want... regulation in relation to digital reproduction.
I have opposed him since he first ran for the House. I always thought that there were better candidates. Now the situation is reversed. I don't see that better candidate.
He won reelection with 76% of the vote. He got 300,000 more votes than George Bush did in Arizona.
Actually, MY APOLOGIES to you sinkspur!
Thats what I meant to do! That is, chastise the muck thrower (GOPGuide)
I responded to the wrong post. Duh.
Again, my apologies.
BTTT
'Amen bro. I won't vote for Hillary, but (and I have NEVER, EVER missed an election) I will not vote for McCain. I'd sit it out.
Me either. Not yet, anyway.
