Today is the day.
Yes but when the enemy is American liberal fascism, then it's all over. Everyone wants some of the booty of others, as long as it lasts.
Not enough to overcome. McCain wins.
“Thompson will drop out soon and endorse McCain, in my very humble opinion. In fact I believe that McCain will pick Thompson as his Vice President, again in my humble opinion.”
I believe your very humble opinion is about right... Thompson would help offset uncertainty about McCain among conservatives. Cheney served this same purpose on the ticket with Bush - shoring up conservatives who were otherwise very skeptical of W’s authenticity.
Mitt or Rudy IF Fred drops out.
I thought the “nuts” was a substitute for what he really said which was expletive deleted.
And the experience that would make Bush a good CIC is what?
No Conservative should ever consider voting for McCain. We worry the others will betray us. We know McCain will betray us.
Look at his record for the last 8 years? Been nothing but betrayal and obstruction. With any of the other candidates we have a seat at the table. We know John McCain will never listen to us on anything.
With McCain Conservatives would, at very best, get maybe 10%. That would not be worth the enormous long term damage McCain would do to both the GOP and the Conservative Movement.
With a McCain Administration we would have a mislabeled “Conservative” Administration pushing Democrat Party polices while the GOP took all the political fall out of the consequences of those disastrous decisions.
Just what could Conservatives expect to get from a McCain Administration?
Based on McCain’s record for the last 8 years, we could expect to get tough talk on foreign policy and spending with no real action on any issue. Do people forget the Democrats trying to get McCain to flip party’s in Jan 2006? Forget that Dems wanted McCain as their VP candidate in 2004?
How quickly the supposed Conservatives for McCain forget McCain’s political record. From Tax-cuts to the War to Judges McCain’s whole strategy has been to be as Liberal as possible and stay in the GOP.
Politically there is very little difference between Hillary and McCain. You get minor variations on this and that issue, like abortion, but over all McCain and Clinton share the same political philosophical outlook McCain has done nothing for the Conservative movement in 8 years.
While talking a good game on spending, he has done nothing. This is particularly galling considering all the issues CFR, Judges, Immigration Anti Torture Amendment-Gang of 14 etc etc etc issues which McCain was more then willing to throw his weight behind an issues to get legislation passed.
McCain has actively worked against the Conservatives on Social issues, on the WOT, on Iraq, on Gitmo, against Rummy, on Immigration and on Judges, on Global Warming etc etc etc etc etc. McCain has far more in common with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama then he does with any Conservative.
Funny how the Talking Heads miss this. Out of 49 Republican Senators McCain has been ranked 45th by the American Conservative Union for his voting record!
McCain would be the worse of both worlds. A mislabeled “Conservative” Administration actively advancing the Democrat Party’s agenda while knifing Conservatives in the back daily.
You could even count on a McCain Administration appointing Leftist Judges in order to avoid fighting with the Democrats in the US Senate. After all that was the whole point of his Gang of 14 fiasco.
Tough on Foreign Policy? You think Mr “Close Gitmo and extend the same legal protections US Citizens have to the terrorists” McCain is going to have a “tough” foreign policy? The father of the Baker Commission and the plan to surrender Iraq to Iran and Syria is “strong on Foreign Policy”? Not based on his record.
The worst thing that a McCain Administration would do is it would fracture the few remaining GOP Congress critters into pro and anti McCain factions. McCain would be the worst of all world politically for the Conservatives.
At least with a Democrat Leftist Administration, as opposed to a McCain Leftist with a GOP Label Administration, the Democrats would get all the political fall out of their disastrous political decisions and the GOP would unite in fighting them.
The worst of all possible worlds for Conservatives in 2008 would be McCain getting elected President.
I count three, including Horny County. Why don’t they get their results in?
Yeah, that’s not even alphabetical in Cyrillic. LOL
But, among the top four, they are alphabetical as I stated in my post.
No, I cannot explain the whole group, nor do I care to try. It seems the South Carolinian mind works differently than mine. After all, many of those ‘Cocks think Huckabee is conservative.
AP was the first to call it.
How many delegates does Romney have?
how many delegates does Florida have to give in a winner take all?
It ain’t over til its over.
Going to have to think it over Jim....this one is going to be a tough one.
Prayers for Fred Thompson’s mother.
Do you know when she went into the hospital, and why?
Yes, but this is for POTUS, unless your mother is critically ill (and Fred didn’t indicate that), you stay until the end. If he was winning you really think he would have went to see his Mom or play with his grandkid? Fred should have got some fire in his belly months ago.
But, will it work????
Gimme a break, Nell Carter. You think Fred would have left this early if he was in the lead? Take the blinders off. Fred wanted to go home and get some shut-eye. The red pickup's out of gas. Get used to McCain, "my friends..."
The reason Mccain is winning is because the media gave him all the attention. THey know if he runs against HillBAma, he will lose. It’s a conspiracy. That’s why they ignored Fred....they know he can win against the dems.
}Florida is a winner take all primary. “
This is actually still a bit up in the air. It was an FLGOP decision after the delegate hair count that is subject to revocation.
