[Son House]

CNN is now running an Infomercial for McDole.

[RDTF]

yes, they are. And with no class or ability to admit they are wrong. I’ve noticed lately it’s been worse.

[txlurker]

Romney is what is needed not someone who has been in Washington for most of his life.

Exactly....the media has been using the term "establishment". Fits McCain.

[Reagan Man]

Another reply from you with zero substance.

Carry on.

Why don’t we conduct a FR poll and see how many Freepers would vote for McCain over Paul?

Ehhh, check out the latest side-bar poll. Paul is kicking McCain's ass.

[End Times Crusader]

Let's see, should I believe Triple E the TehRon supporter, the DUmmies, or Rasmussen. I'll take Rasmussen.

Romney backs Bush’s ‘surge’ in Iraq (Jan 10, 2007, BEFORE Bush’s announcement!)

[scott says]

" It has got to the point where I can’t stand the man. Tonight just reinforced my decision. I will vote for the other good Republican candidates and the other issues but will not pull the lever for McQueeg."

I think I am on the same page as you.... The thought of HillBilly in the WH terrifies me but I really do not think I can support McCain, some choice. We are screwed if "Heres Johnny!" gets the nomination.

[rintense]

No he won’t. He is 180 degrees opposite McCain. And friendship isn’t enough to endorse someone.

[COgamer]

“As fine a man as Dick Chaney is, he should NOT have run for VEEP for Bush’s second term, since he made it clear he was absolutely NOT going to run for President. “

I don’t think Bush would have even won his second term without Cheney on the ticket.

[Dagnabitt]

[McCain} does look a lot like Homer Simpson!

If Homer Simpson had been to a taxidermist.

[DoughtyOne]

CNN anounced this evening that Arnold would endorse McCain in the morning.

[Fred]

So now Ron Paul is the latest STALKING HORSE. McCain must be a political genius to have so many stalking horses...

[CedarDave]

Regardless of how you feel about McCain’s politics, the personal venom being spewed at him is juvenile and says more about the poster than McCain. The man has served his country with honor, whether you agree with him or not, and he deserves respect.

He lost most of my respect regarding his military service when he defended JFnK in the last election. As a military person who served alongside the Swifties for a year, I respect and believe their view point regarding Kerry's actions during the short time in country and traitorous actions after he returned. McCain was one of the recipients of those results and why he felt he had to defend Kerry is beyond me.

[khnyny]

McCain is like watching Bernie in Weekend at Bernie’s. How long can the MSM prop him up before he wins the GOP nomination and then gets destroyed by Hillary?

[supercat]

Unfortunately Huckabee is very good in this setting and he takes votes from Romney and makes McCain a winner in the South.

Are the southern states WTA? My concern before had been that if Huckabee and McCain together get a majority, that would yield a McCain/Huckabee ticket. But if McCain melts down too badly, Huckabee's delegates might not go for him. For that matter, even some of McCain's own delegates might not go for him.

[allmendream]

To me it looked like Arnold was having a little talk with her.

Nancy Reagan is no naif and doesn’t need handlers to protect her image from sitting next to a not very conservative Governor of California; when if not for him there would almost certainly be a very liberal Democrat Governor of California.

[khnyny]

Look at my new tag line.:)

[CottonBall]

If Homer Simpson had been to a taxidermist.

LOL!

What's the deal with his left cheek? My hamster used to stash kleenex in her cheeks, but even she didn't look that strange.

[txlurker]

McCain’s clueless on the economy.

Yes he is...it is clear he is out of his league in that area. That is why he has to keep name dropping to muddy the waters. Expects most people to know who are these economic experts are...it is laughable.
