No BS! I don't support McCain, but when compared to the others --- minus Fred --- McCain's has better conservative credentials, like it or not. He's been pro-life, pro-gun and he does have more national defense experience than anyone running. Its his mavarick political status that people don't like about him.
Giuliani is a full fledged, life long liberal. Romney was a full fledged, life long liberal, who reformed his politics on the verge of his presidential run. Romney is a man without principle or conviction. Like Bush43, Huckabee is a pro-life social conservative and another big government Republican nannystater. Outside of Fred, the choices suck.
As for the NYTimes slamming Rooty Toot, I say, more more more. IMO, anyone supporting Giuliani, McCain, Romney or Huckabee is supporting moderate/liberals, at best.
