I see the Republican Party is choosing to elect Hillary president.

There’s a 0.0% chance McCain can beat Clinton.

Oh well.

Maybe in 2016.

I think that the Fat Lady is very close to sing that John McCain will be the nominee of the Republican Party.

I'll take McCain (gag) over Flip Romney or Gungrabiani.

That's the only good news here.

Considering your non stop support of socialist Jim Webb in 2006 it pretty obvious you are either a complete fraud lying about your “Conservative” political outlook or a fool so wonderfully ignorant of all facts that you have no idea what a fraud you are supporting.

So which is it MD? Are you a political fool or a political fraud?

South Carolina is a joke today. This is the home of Lindsey Graham and there was no Democrat primary going on so all the rats could show up and vote for McCain today. This is the most meaningless primary vote ever.

With the tight contest in the rat primaries, the approaching contests won’t have nearly as many rat crossover votes helping McCain.

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.

Who dresses these voters every morning?  Honestly...

Giuliani is not viable candidate. To even suggest he is ridiculous.

Because it is close to the annual birthday celebration of the greta Scottish poet,Robert Burns, and becuase McCain has a Sottish heritage, I hereinbelow, post a tribute to McCains South Carolina win with a Robert Burns parody poem:

Ode Tae A Fart

Oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie

lurks in your belly after the feastie

Jist as you sit doon amang yer kin

There starts tae stir an enormous win’

*****************************

The neeps ‘n’tatties ‘n’ mushy peas

Start workin’ like a gentle breeze

But soon the puddin’ wi the sauncie face

Will hae ye blowin ‘a’ ower the place

******************************

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae

A’bodys gonny huv tae pay

Even when ye try tae stifle

It’s like a bullet oot a rifle

*************************

Ye hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair

An try tae stop the leakin’ air

Shiftin’ yersel fae cheek tae cheek

An pray tae god it disnae reek

***************************

But aw yer efforts go asunder

When oot it comes, a clap ‘o thunder

Richochets aroon the room

Michty me a sonic boom!

******************************

God Almichty it fairly reeks

Hope a huvnae shit ma breeks

Tae the bog a better scurry

Aw whit the hell, it’s no ma worry

****************************

A’body roon aboot me chokin’

Wan or twa ur nearly boakin

A’ll feel better fur a while

Canny help but raise a smile

*************************

“Wis him!” I shout wi accusin’ glower

Alas too late, he’s just keeled ower

“Ye durty bugger!” they shout and stare

A dinna feel welcome any mair

****************************

But where ye go ,let yer win’ gang free

Sounds like jist the job tae me

But whit a fuss at Johnny's party

Owe the sake ‘O’ wan wee farty.

( P.S. Thankyou Duncan Hunter!)

What could a Conservative hope to get out of a McCain Administration?

Judges?----McCain's Gang of 14 fiasco?

Foreign Policy? Mr Surrender to Iraq and Syria Baker Commission and Close Git-mo will be "tough"? John Kerry's 1st VP pick will have a "tough foreign policy"?

Spending restraint? Number of pieces of Legislation to Control Spending presented by John McCain.....ZERO.

Tax cuts? John McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts

In addition, the single biggest issue Hillary Clinton is vulnerable on, Immigration goes right off the table if the GOP nominates John McCain.

"But McCains poll numbers".... 10 months ago Rudy G was the only guy who could beat Hillary. That tell any of the McCainiacs why it is so completely stupid to pick your nominee based on poll numbers 10 months before a general election?

There will be a record low turnout at our Dem primary next Saturday.Many of the white Dems already voted for Huck and McCain.
Obama should win SC in a landslide.

This is the same bunch that elects Lindsay Graham to the Senate. They are not conservatives.

This is so disappointing.

I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to vote for McCain in the Republican primary, especially after he tried to shove his illegal amnesty legislation down America’s throats last summer (WHICH HE WROTE!!!). Plus he was AGAINST the Bush tax cuts, plus he assaulted the 1st Amendment right to free speech with his disasterous McCain-Feingold legislation. The man is consistently WRONG on a host of issues.

I’m very, very sorry to write this, but unless America snaps to very quickly, I believe John McCain will be the next President of the United States.

If it comes down between him and Hillary in the general election, I’ll have to put a bag over my head, hold my nose, and vote for the guy. Actually, in a contest between anybody and Hillary, I’ll have to vote for the “anybody else” candidate.

We may very well have to get a RINO like McCain in the Oval office before we can get another man with the godly, strong, conservative principles of Ronald Reagan.

WAKE UP AMERICA! JOHN MCCAIN IS NO CONSERVATIVE!!!

Even McLame fan Bill Kristol points out: McLame has not attracted 50% or more of the REPUBLICAN vote in the primaries.

Since Fred Thompson is not going anywhere, I think I am going to Romney.

I've been trying to decide between Fred and Mitt anyway.

In my primary, barring a sea change in the world of politics, I'm voting for Mitt.

I think, with either McScream, Miff, or Rudi as the nominee, you have witnessed the full swing left of the republican party and the death of conservatism within this party. I see no strong conservative that can bring the party back. The party has gone further and further left. Left is what America thinks it wants. America wants socialism. Everyone thinks that something for free is possible. That no one has to work and earn anything. That GOVERNMENT is the ANSWER to EVERYTHING. And that government will provide everything. Money, food, health care, booze, drugs, big screen TV, short work weeks, higher pay, low energy prices, everything. America wants to be like Europe. I guess we are about to get it.

To all those who disparaged Huckabee as "not conservative".

You got what you asked for.

McCain will likely now beat Guliani in Florida, take the lead in delegates, and force a McCain-Romney battle.

Had the shortsighted idiots, like Limbaugh, had the intelligence to realize spending 98% of their time attacking Huckabee helped McCain, they might have thought differently.

If the dumba$$ Romney robots like PowerLineBlog, Hugh Hewitt, and Dennis Prager had the common sense to realize their personal favorite would benefit from a McCain failure in South Carolina, they may have acted differently. They sowed the seeds of their own failure. Whoopie, Romney won Nevada. He will lose Florida. And Super Tuesday, including California. February 6th, McCain will be the defacto nominee.

"Conservatism wins, every time it's tried." Except when it is tried by someone the talk radio types decide they do not like. Social conservatism, a tax reform platform, a Minuteman-endorsed immigration reform platform ... throw it all away. Throw it all to McCain just because you have so little confidence in your pick.

Fred Thompson ("McCain lite") was never in this race, so his delusional supporters have no standing.

Romney's supporters sowed the seeds of their own destruction.

In November, when McCain gets plowed under by Clinton or Obama, then what?

McCain is no Goldwater. 2008 is no 1964. This is not going to be an election where a platform is set and we wait for 16 years for the rest of America to catch up.

Who is the great hope in 2012? Maybe Bobby Jindal.

2008 is over. And the politically ignorant and naive Rush, HH, and Prager are as much to blame as any Republican.
