Give Senator John McCain the S.C. victory he deserves

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

send your “common sense” in for an overhaul . . . at least a tune-up.

And inform yourself about 10,000% more about McChurian. Talk to folks who know in AZ.

What conservative things has Bush II actually done?

[citizen]

Yes, give McCain what he deserves! A swift boot out!

Which reminds me. We seem to need some new voters in Arizona that won’t re-elect this lying, non-Conservative.

[Eagle of Liberty]

I don’t “rank” anybody. Simply I’m not a McCainiac. I’m a common sense conservative without any angriness.

Common Sense. I think not. You may want to go back to the FR archives and read a few of the Senate Live Threads during:

- Immigration Debate
- Torture Debate
- Nuclear Option Debate
- Judicial Appointments Debate
- Tax Cut Debate
- CFR debate

Please go see how many times he has negotiated with Ted Kennedy. Or please just go to http://www.senate.gov and do a little historical reading on the man that you think is a conservative.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Apologies, that post got away a little early...it happens!

I stand by my statement, though....IMO the Clinton machine would handily obliterate McCain. The man needs no further humiliation than what he seems capable of bringing upon himself.

Good point. Excluding military operations in the ME, I can't think of very many.

I found Mark’s take interesting.

McChurian?

Is that supposed to be funny?

“I respect his military service to a point ...”? What the heck does that mean?

See ... I have no problem if you don’t support him because of his policies. That’s perfectly fine. What I don’t understand are these slanderous remarks about his time as a POW.

The guy was serving his country, sacrificing his life, and acted more courageously than 99.9% of us here posting on this board. There is no need to denigrate POWs with this “manchurian” candidate nonsense and baseless brainwashing comments.

Are you going to question the sanity of all our POWs that have made it alive? Ironic statements from somebody who I would assume would “support our troops” inside his little mind at some point.

MNJohnnie,

Can you please post your extensive list of Bush’s accomplishments for this noobie?

[reagan_fanatic]

Sorry for that, but I need respect too.

Supporting a RINO like McCain isn't a good way to get it around here, pal.

I seriously doubt that you are what you claim, but I'll play along. Let me appeal to your "common sense". If McCain wins the GOP nomination, (God forbid) and runs against Hillary in November here's the likely scenario:

Women (especially the all important soccer Moms) will be appalled by McCain's adultery and abandonment of his first wife who was disabled in a horrific car accident. McCain replaces first wife and mother of his children with another woman who is not only 17 years younger than himself, but is wealthy and extremely politically connected. McCain uses his second wife, her money and her family to launch his political career.

[a77]

That’s all against McCain? Soccer mums would rather vote for an abortionist rat?!?!

[lone star annie]

I would love to give McCain exactly what he deserves...a swift kick in the pahtooty.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

If Thompson goes down tomorrow, which of the remaining do you call a Republican and not a Rino? If you select Romney, let me know and I will enlighten you on his record.

[Bobalu]

McCain is a dangerous and angry old fool....

[gunnedah]

McCian cannot win!

[KC_Conspirator]

I agree with you somewhat there. The MSM, like McCain when is used as a foil against Bush and the GOP. If McCain was to be the nominee, they would turn on him and he would probably get alot of outbursts caught on camera.

[Eastbound]

"If Thompson goes down tomorrow, . . . "

. . . America will deserve what it gets. By default, every protest group in the country will be lining up for their share of the political and economic spoils of a war they will not have to fight any longer.

I'm not referring to the W.O.T., but only the aggregate of each group's separate special interest battles against true constitutional government.

[SwankyC]

Eight years ago we urged voters in South Carolina's Republican presidential primary to support John McCain. His record since then has left us even more convinced that the Arizona senator should be the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.

Just what has the illustrious senator done that would make any conservative want to vote for him?
