OK. I get the anger at McCain. I'm still mad about McCain Feingold, and I didn't like the Gang of 14 play but we did manage to get two great judges on the SC (and it wasn't all Bush that did that, remember Harriet Meyers!).

But lets say you are right and McCain is damaged goods. Who do you want instead? Rudy? Rudy is a liberal in most every sense of the word. He should run as a Dem: anti-gun, pro-choice, pro-gay. To me worse than McCain.

Romney? His greatest claim to fame (aside from being Governor of the most liberal state in the USA - not exactly a classic stepping stone to conservative leadership) is that he now requires everyone in his state to buy insurance (with bleading heart excpetions for poor people who the state buys it for).

So it's a feel good socialized medicine plan. Why do we need Romney to do that? I'd rather have Hillary destroy the medical system than a Republican.

Now you are into the back benchers. I'm not saying these guys can't win, but it's not real likely. Brownback is in. So is the guy from San Diego who's name I can't remember - he's big on defense spending and anti illegal.

What's your choice? What's your plan?

I don't know. I tell you who are DOA. McCain, Hagel and Newt. IF they lack the guts to speak truth to the Media Noise Machine on Iraq, they lack the guts to be President. IF they cannot stand up on Iraq, what would they sell out on as President. So go find you a real Conservative.

BTW, we did NOT get "2 Judges" out of the gang of 14 we threw a way the dozens tied up in committee plus the 2 throw under the bus because the Democrats could keep things tied up. The Nuke option would of got us the 2 SC Justices plus all the lower court judges.

Harriet Meirs was put up BECAUSE Bush needed to find out who the Gang would back. She was one of the few people ON their list that were on his. So quit looking for excuses to be mad at Bush. Actually LOOK at what is going on in DC.

John McCain basically cost us 2006 with his always obstructionist sabotage. On not ONE thing did he come out and actually support the Republicans. NOTHING. He always tried to be on both sides. McCain is DOA.

IF the Republican establishment keeps pushing McCain, I simply will donate neither money nor time to help them in 2008. I will not vote for them, I will not vote against them, I will do nothing. Since the DC Old Boy's club lead by John McCain has done NOTHING for 6 years, I will return the favor in 2008,

Find yourself another boy if you want to win in 2008. McCain is DOA.

Total BS. He is right on foreign policy, right on the WOT, right on fiscal conservatism, right on privatization, right on massive agency reform, right on reigning in affirmative action, right on school vouchers, right on economics, and has pledged to appoint judges like Allito and Roberts. He is left or center on some social and gun issues, but to say he is "liberal in most every sense of the word" is simply slander.

We have the same requirement in Calif., except it's for auto.
