Sen. John McCain won Saturday's South Carolina Republican presidential primary, AP projects.
Fox News and NBC News exit polls ranked the economy as the top concern among South Carolina primary voters, followed by illegal immigration, the war in Iraq, and terrorism.
Columnist and Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol commenting on Saturday's results on the Fox News Channel said that the Republican field is now winnowing down to just three viable candidates: McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Giuliani.
I will take McCain and his insanity every day of the week over thaT socialist Huckabee.
“I didn’t get to vote....looks like the Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party wanted to make sure that the conservatives didn’t get to.”
And there it is......
No you just have to consider the source. Most people get the news from the Mainstream Media and they don't even try to hide their bias in favor of liberals like McCain and Clinton. An election that's between those two and either way the MSM establishment wins because no matter what their agenda gets pushed forward.
Yeah. South Carolina is a well known liberal bastion, somewhere to the left of Massachusetts. :rolleyes:
Puh-leeze. The handwringing here tonight is nothing short of embarrassing.
It's kind of like you have a homosexual cousin, and at the family reunion, he decides to strip down to a jock strap, jump on a picnic table, and regale the family with his version of some Streisand standard. In other words, over the top.
So McCain isn't Duncan Hunter, or even FRed. But that he's being painted as some kind of liberal Democrat shows just how wacked out some folks here are.
And if McCain wins he'll do everything in his power to get amnesty passed and I can't think of anything that would destroy this country faster. If he succeeds talk about Supreme Court nominees, in 20 years Americans won't even be picking them anymore and the democrats will have a permanent majority.
Sounds enticing!
RG does hate the ACLU
stay home.
NY and Massachusetts will vote for McCain like he's the second coming, yup those conservative bastions. Enuf said...
You have made my point. He is the pick of the MSM, not real conservatives. It is a rather bold statement to say that no one agrees with me. If you are referring to no one agreeing with me as the MSM, well I would to prefer to make up my mind for myself. If you want to self agrandize yourself because McLame is you man, knock yourself out....
Rudy has only fallen a few points in head to head matchups with Hillary. Obviously, it's a moot point since he will not win the nomination.
Rudy was NOT the only one who could beat Hillary in a natl poll 10 months ago. McCain has been competitive against her or ahead of her for the entire campaign season. Check the data at realclearpolitics if you like.
I voted for Fred Thompson in SC. GO FRED!!!
Have you listened to Rush for five minutes since 2 Jan?
Romney is very, very, accomplished and has produced, no doubt. And is not the “sinner” RG was/is. But he also does not have his personality.
From American Thinker the other day:
"But more than any other candidate in the race, Rudy Giuliani is a liberal-slayer. When he rejects liberal orthodoxy, which he does often, he doesnt just oppose it. He goes to war with it - total, unconditional war.
He spent his political career chewing up liberal orthodoxy and spitting it out - and I think that somehow, in some way, voters in Oklahoma and Kansas get that about him even without knowing the specifics.
His success in turning New York around wasnt merely a matter of changing policies. He had to sustain those policies when they came under deliberate, systematic and unrelenting assault by the citys liberal elite.
In case after case, he refused to accept the veto of liberal public opinion. He drove porn shops out of residential neighborhoods, even though his administration had to fight more than 30 lawsuits on the matter. He crusaded against bilingual education, a disastrous policy that had gone unquestioned in this city for decades.
And most important, he stood up for the police department against any and all attacks - which were incessant and incredibly unjust. The race baiter's and their shills at the Not-So-Great Grey Lady talked as though the NYPD was engaging in genocide when the opposite was the case - many thousand of people are alive today who would have died if the NYPD hadnt taken on its newly aggressive posture under Giuliani."
Good grief, I don't know, it may be to late to stop Huck and McCain.
And vice versa.
Gipper08:I will take McCain and his insanity every day of the week over thaT socialist Huckabee.
The Drive-by's start pushing Huckabee and McCain as the only two who can win. And people like Gipper08 and Magellan vote for the lesser of the two evils instead of voting for the real conservatives.
So what happens?
Between the two types of voters we get 60% of one of the most conservative states in the Union South Carolina voting for two pathetic socialists.
And they have the nerve to turn around and blame us.
We’re being McDoled. Conservatives are being McHijacked again. McModerates and McIndependents support McCain. I don’t share their McValues. The McMedia McStinks. Watch the Left McRevel in their victory.
Well, the Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party had help...the media made sure that the conservative candidate was blackballed.
Never. Not this Fredhead. If Huckabee's the nominee, I'll dutifully vote for him as he goes down to a 57%-43% defeat. If McStain's the nominee, I'll stay home or write in.
