If this were how John McCain would behave as President then I could vote for him. The problem is while this is him at his best. I still remember him at his worst. The gang of 14, Amnesty, etc. The problem I have is I can't see any of the others running even capable of giving such a clear speech as this on Iraq or anything else for that matter. McCain sure is a thorn in the side but he is a thorn we know. Do we not think Romney or Huckabee would work with Democrats with as much or more glee than McCain has? That is the problem I've been wrestling with. I don't see the others as being better men than the thorn we already know and if we are going to have a thorn we might as well have one who isn't afraid of a fight because it is clear to me that Romney and Huckabee both are lacking in fight.

Anyone who does not use their vote on Election Day to stop the Democrats is a traitor unworthy of American freedom from that day forward.

John McCain's goal is to take the right out of the Republican party.
Look at his comments over the years about the intolerance of Falwell and "bigots" who wanted the borders closed.

Maelstrom, after hearing that speech, I e-mailed McCain to tell him that I would be proud to follow him into battle. Now, I'm not so enthusiastic about him, but I will still vote for him against any Democrat - they are truly the party of evil personified.

John McCain's goal is to take the right out of the Republican party. I agree. And if he manages to pull out a win in the face of a conservative rebellion, he will have done it.

People tout McCain’s 82% approval rating on conservative matters. That’s his overall rating. I heard his most recent rating, the last voting year, is only 65%. I don’t think he’s getting more conservative. I could live with a John McCain of several years ago. Sadly, now he is becoming a caricature of the angry old man.
To: Maelstorm
PS-Obama’s rating is standing at #1 as most liberal Senator per his voting record. I think I read that Hillary! is around #11.
To: ConorMacNessa
Agreed. In the end, it boils down to voting day this year in November. The simple question is, “What did you do to keep Obama or Hillary out of office on that day?”
McCain may not be the first, second, or third choice but he is far better than anything the Democrats have to offer.

"Anyone who does not use their vote on Election Day to stop the Democrats" Unlike most of the pansy a**es on this site, when I get my ballot I am going to kill as many democrat-looking voters with papercuts as I can before they stop me.
I may not be able to vote myself for McCain, but I will hopefully stop many from voting for Hitlery!
I am a true patriot deserving of American Freedom!

However, it will only be a moment before the mad rinophobes begin to spit venom. We all dislike the "RINOS." But one needs to be blind not to see that the Dems primary goal is the destruction of liberty.

Why wait until then? Stop McCain in the primaries so that he won’t be the Dole of ‘08....cause he will be.

Anybody who says they would not vote for McCain in the general election is a liberal communist.

I thought I heard Hillary and Obama had the same voting record. Anyway, everyone knows Hillary is the most liberal member of the Congress.

Anyone who votes for John McCain is voting to destroy the American Conservative movement and is, therefore, a traitor to their nation.
