"My fingers are crossed that at the next debate either Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will find a way to address McCain’s record. (Mike Huckabee won’t as he is apparently in the tank for him.)"

Come of Fred, take the gloves off!

When I hear the name McCain, two numbers quickly come to mind...

5 and 14

Those are enough to keep him out of th WH should he get past the primaries.

First one on the list could be called McCain-Feingold-Thompson.

Will Fred go after McCain like he went after Huck? I don’t know. They are friends. Senate old boys club, etc

Very interesting watching the alliances between candidates. Who is willing to go after who, and who protects who.

Romney tried in NH, but was labeled as too negative. So last night he backed off. Last night was amazing one of the few times that a front runner (thats what McCain is now) gets no attention or attacks.

” his position on the surge”

Honestly, this is the most important issue, the surge and Iraq.. #1, #2 and #3 right now. McCain took leadership on this issue.. whereas so many wheenies in congress and around the country did not.

I’m warming to McCain (I hate Romney.. and I’m a Mormon). I would like Fred too, but it might be too late.

McCain still doesn’t get it. During last night’s debate, he said that he had heard the people, and will secure the border first........... unfortunately, he thinks that means he can still push thru a path to citizenship after he secures the border (which is still amnesty).

He doesn’t understand that the majority of the people don’t want amnesty, with or without a sealed border.

It was argued on another thread that Fred needs McCain to help fend off Mitt Romney in Michigan. So it’s really a question of when to take the gloves off. Mitt is a more dangerous adversary than McCain, I think.

Another factor is that Fred and McCain are evidently personal friends. But I don’t think that’s the reason Fred is holding back. He needs to let the others fight it out at this stage in the process. He needs to play the balance perfectly if he is to break out of the media embargo against him.

Why would any conservative vote for McCain? Why would any Republican who wants 4 more years of a Republican presidency vote for McCain? Same questions apply to the Huckster supporters. Look closely. You do NOT want either of these men in the White House...nor does the rest of the country.

The McCain-Feingold-Thompson proposal bars the national parties, federal officeholders, and candidates from soliciting, receiving, or spending any funds that are not subject to the limitations and reporting requirements in federal election law. This provision would categorically shut down the Washington soft money fund-raising machine. The legislation also provides that state and local parties that engage in activities during a federal election year that might affect the outcome of a federal election, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts, may only do so with funds raised under the federal limits surprise

Was Fred in the Senate for these bill votes? Anyone know how he voted on all of these. I hope he was against them.

Wonder how the three Dem candidates voted on these too. Interesting if the three Dems voted with McCain. I’d love to see that brought up in a debate.

The huckster and Mclame have the same amnesty program, so the two are in bed together. Neither is worth spit!

I have been sitting back and watching talk radio and other conservative journals go after Mc Cain, Huckabee and Rudy. At this point in time however, it looks like one of them may very well be the nominee. What is their position going to be then? This morning I even heard Rush make a passing mention of Romney as a Conservative. I couldn’t believe my ears. Does he really believe Romney’s recent conversion is for real? I have been a big Rush fan for years, but these last few weeks of listening to him has been hard. Ingraham has been even worse. They make like Fred which I do to, but it’s awful late in the game for Fred to gain any footing. Conservatives need to concentrate their ire on the Democrats.

Yes he should. He is warming up to it. There is no use for him to attack McCain too early. He did say he disagreed with him on Amnesty. McCain now says he NEVER EVER supported amnesty. That is not a little "I changed my mind, I was wrong". Click to watch McCain on Amnesty:

I wonder about a Thompson/McCain ticket.

‘The McCain domestic record is a disaster.’

I will not vote for this man for President under any circumstances.

Not gonna happen. They've been thick from the start, and will be to the end, when McCain might have something for Fred.

Great article that should be read by all conservatives and even moderates.
