This from a guy who couldn't find his own a$$ with a mirror and a flashlight...
For whose party ?? Not the GOP that's for sure......
My impression was that it was the "rush to the center" the last two years that caused Republicans so much grief in this last election.
Karl Rove has it right, that if the Republicans want to regain their majority, they have to stick to their principles. Playing politics and treating our constituents like they're stupid will only get us into more trouble.
McCain doesn't have a shot in hell of winning.
So Al consulted his crystal ball and this is his prediction.
I guess it all depends on which conservatives face him in the primary. I consider McCain a hawkish Democrat.
I'd certainly hope we can do better than that.
A Republican who campaigns for Democrats now supports McCain.
What drivel!!
In the early days of a disaster - natural or otherwise - the presence of the POTUS on the ground just adds to the headaches of the rescuers.
IIRC President Bush made several visits to the Katerina effected area in the following weeks.
The GOP better come up with someone better if they want my family's vote. I'll never vote for mcpain.
d'Amato is not the world's smartest political genius. Sees everything through a very narrow NY focus.
I have little doubt McCain will be the nominee.
He's built the org and passed around the money already.
Of course McCain will be running right to pick up the dissafected liberty voters alienated by compassionate big government conservatism.
Three predictions if McCain is the 2008 GOP nominee:
1) The media will run 24/7 stories about his age and history of health issues.
2)McCain will suddenly become a "hard-right" conservative in MSM and DNC hit pieces.
3) Military service, which was oh-so-important to the DNC when Kerry was the nominee, will become irrelevant to the MSM and the Democratic Party. It will be all about "who cares most for the children" again, like when Bubba ran against H.W. Bush and Bob Dole. And McCain will be painted as the second coming of The Grinch.
Old news/rumor.
It goes like this: Cheney resigns due to health reasons, McCain is put into the veep office and runs for Prez.
How many times does it have to be shown that liberals will vote for the real Democrat instead of a Republican acting as a Democrat every time?
They need to learn a lesson and return to their roots, and we should make sure the big government types are defeated in the primaries.
I will not ever vote for McManiac. He is a FRUITCAKE!
Not if I can help it.
Time for a third party.
Bullshit Al.
