Thanks for the video showing the REAL McCain.

"McCain however at least meets the minimum requirements for a republican president."

I agree with you there.

[Biggirl]

...Or President Obama.

McCain is a career politician my friend.

I might add so are the people endorsing him.

Thats how stuff works in DC. You shmooze and throw back a few drinks with your pinky finger extended...

You network and when its time to call on people you can pull them aside by the arm and make promises.

Especially in this case you can make LOADS of promises if you are McCain.

And to those other guys if he wins the election they in effect all get promotions.

A backroom deal was made with the party elites:

Why didn’t more people jump on the Fred bandwagon?

I don’t know but because they didn’t, we will get McCain

Political welfare system... they all get government checks...

Government millionaires who could never make it in private life...

...Or because he is OWED the position.

...Even Sen. McCain said he could end up doing only 4 years.

It is because, in a very unpleasant atmosphere awaiting Republicans in November, McCain actually has a chance to win. Here is a clip from William Kristol’s column yesterday. I hope this answers your question.

“Don’t pretend there’s no difference between a candidate who’s committed to winning in Iraq and a Democratic nominee who embraces defeat. Don’t tell us that it doesn’t matter if the next president voted to confirm John Roberts and Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court, or opposed them.”

Why Republicans pay any heed to the MSM escapes me. The MSM is enemy

MSM? That's a myth that needs to die. Republican like him because the party is sliding further and further left by the second. RINOs aren't/ viable because the MSM pimps them, they are viable because that's the new face of the GOP.

Why are these people endorsing McCain?

How can so many people be wrong? Don't they listen to Rush and Coulter?

[TommyDale]

I realize that McCain couldn’t carry Gerald Ford’s jock strap. What I meant is that this election will result in a similar outcome, because the moderate/liberal wing of the GOP is going to keep the conservatives away from the polls. And they will suffer a huge defeat.

“They think he’s winning, and they want a job if he’s elected.”

that’s 100% of the reason

Thanks for showing some sanity in this thread

They may be Republicans, but they’re not conservative.

Under GWB the Republican party and its leaders and elected reps have hijacked the party away from the voters. We have seen this take place on several issues:Judges, Immigration, etc.. I suggest we vote them ALL out, and start fresh. As long as we continue to vote the current bunch back in office, nothing will change.

[Biggirl]

Because both Rush and Mark stand for their principles.

John McCain is the 2008 version of Gerald Ford and Bob Dole.

Well....he's the version of Ford and Dole, minus the character, geniality, mental stability, likeability, humor, loyalty, steadfastness...I could go on, but I don't want to hog the bandwidth.
