I’m not suggesting we’ll win back Congress. Only that there will be enough Republicans left in Congress to fight amnesty if it is Hillary pushing it. If it is McCain pushing amnesty, however many Republicans there are, they WON’T fight.

The 15-minute Tip: The Candidates And The Economy

http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/media/article/15minute-tip-candidates-economy_469029_15.html

NEW YORK — The economy has become the No. 1 issue for most Americans. With both the Republican and Democratic nominations still up in the air, it’s more important than ever to find out where the candidates stand on economic policy.

And, somewhat to my surprise, that’s not so easy to do.

END QUOTE; but see the link for more links to compare bugets of all the Candidates, there are several.

Exactly what the media wants, Republicans not to be able to see Romney’s budget, so McDole gets a free pass on his.

If McCain is the nominee, I think we definitely shift all focus to a fight for Congress.

I would encourage conservatives to not give a dime to McCain but instead to give all the support they can to the most conservative GOP candidates running for House or Senate.

The goal for 2009 - 2012 will be to make Hillary or Obama the most ineffective POTUS ever. Make sure by 2012 the country is as sick of them as we were of Carter in 1980.

[fish hawk]

I can’t help it, your argument is so intellectual.

[Son House]

Supporting McDole isn’t easy, timetables, whatever they can throw at Romney in hopes of McDole getting the nomination, and America gets a Democrat President.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

That’s why Romney could come from behind and win since McCain is disliked so much and a lot of conservatives only recently started pushing hard for Romney.

I think McCain’s support could drop dramatically in a short period of time. I’m not about to give up on him yet and neither should anyone else.

Excellent ideas. I very much like how you think. Please put me on your ping list if you have one.

[ari-freedom]

then why was he for the big rebate? you know what he said? http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Romney_Agenda_1.19 Permanently Reduce The Lowest Income Tax Bracket to 7.5%. Permanently cutting taxes for all taxpayers will put more money in workers' pockets and stimulate consumer confidence and spending.

huh??????

He also attacked McCain for wanting to cut government spending and for being against the bogus stimulus rebate plan. http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Research_Briefing_1.20

sure sounds straight out of Keynes to me. It is Romney that doesn't seem to get it.

[Son House]

As long as Romney stays in America has a chance to beat another Decade of high tax rates Democrats would impose to keep paying for Congressional Spending Sprees.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

You know my repulsion to a mccain presidency is so strong that I could almost agree to that idea. Of course I’d much rather that Romney knocked both of them out.

[adc]

Not giving up either.

Tonight on Hannity & Colmes, that Bill Beckel was apoplectic at the suggestion that Romney might continue on and win. He and Susan Estridge continually say they would love Mitt to be the candidate because he’d be easy to beat.

Right there you know Mitt’s the last one they want in this race.

[ari-freedom]

of course. They remember the kennedy-romney debate. All they would have to do is play it in its entirety and Romney would lose in a landslide even in Utah.

Mitt Romney wins GOP caucuses in Alaska.

Romney takes 55 percent, Huckabee a distant second in Republican primary

Here's the story from the Juneau Empire today.

SNIP . . . .The Alaska Republican party had its first binding primary vote ever last night. In a preliminary tally of Juneau votes, Mitt Romney took the lead with 266, or 55 percent of the total. Mike Huckabee came in second with 76 votes, or 16 percent. John McCain was third with 73 votes, or 15 percent, and Ron Paul took fourth with 65, or 13 percent.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

That’s exactly what the democrats will do ever so subtlety, mostly through their media proxies with mccain. The only difference is stain actually has a record of liberalism that is so repulsive to conservatives they won’t need to play those kind of tricks, but will they will anyway just to remind us.

[RobbyS]

Romney has not demonstrated a comittment to a specific, anti-Conservative agenda the way that McCain has. A lot of what Romney did as governer was the result of compromises with a solidly Democartic legislature. A comparison would be what Clinton did with the Republican Congress. Romney did a bit of trangulation as well. Furthermore, he did not go as far as “Arnold” has done in California to accomodate the Democrats. As a “conservative” he does lean more to the libertarian wing, although he did move right socially on the stem-cell issue. NO Republican leader has really done anything to short-circuit the move toward universal acceptance of same-sex marraige.

I can’r say that like McCain he has worked against his own party so openly and so consistently. What I dislike the most is his stance on the tax-cuts, because his rhetoric was so “populist.”

like this?

I don’t think that Alaska likes McCain voting against drilling in ANWR, and neither do I!

This also tells me that McCain won’t be supporting drilling in other parts of our oil-rich country.

MEANWHILE China is digging offshore of Florida.

Charlie Crist, who endorsed McCain:

“Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist opposes rigs within 125 miles of Florida’s coast, ..”
