Live McCain Speech at CPAC

[wolfcreek]

“It is just pissing us off.”

AMEN, Johnnie!

[GOPRaleigh]

AMEN!!!!

[JohnnyZ]

You have the wrong person, I have only know one Mormon

Why are you talking about Mormons? I said, "All the Romney supporters sure would lap it up from Mitt."

The difference between me and you is that I do not hate peoples religion

I said nothing about religion. I said, "All the Romney supporters sure would lap it up from Mitt."

What the heck is your problem?

You have some sort of kneejerk where you attack anyone critical of Romney as a Mormon-hater?

"Republicans are so shell-shocked and demoralized by the success of the Bush Derangement Syndrome, they think they can fool the voters by nominating an open-borders, anti-tax cut, anti-free speech, global-warming hysteric, pro-human experimentation "Republican."
Which is to say, a Democrat.
---Ann Coulter February 6, 2008

McCain is a Democrat!

[jlasoon]

“McCain or the Democrats”

I’ll take the Democrat for 4 years.

[muawiyah]

McCain can tell you something you like but in the end he’ll be doing the old reach around with Teddy Kennedy and asking him what more he can do for Democrats.

[newconhere]

This is just horrible. My kids 8,7 and 4 are quite possibly going to grow up (formidable years) with either Hillary, Obama or McCain as president. How did this happen! VENT

[presently no screen name]

They have all the power and money in the world to FIX elections.

I believe it. Do you know anyone that would vote for him? I don't and I asked and asked. I'm not counting the media pawns that planted themself here to spread the propaganda.

[MNJohnnie]

You do know you are costing your candidate votes by posting that sort of obnoxious “ra ra” cheerleader campaign style drivel, right?

The people here are addressing the facts of McCain’s record on these issues. You are telling us ignore the record believe the words. Well most of us are old enough to know you NEVER trust the words of a politician.

Look, you McCainbots aren’t doing yourselves any favors. All you are doing is keeping the wounds open by reminding people why they do not trust McCain. Your best tactics at this point is simply walk away for awhile.

Give the Conservatives time and space to adjust to the fact that the Republicans really are running a pro tax hike 20% Conservative as their candidate. Doubtlessly between now and Nov the Democrat candidates will do much to scare Conservatives onto McCain’s side.

You got 9 months to win us over. Don’t try pushing him right now. All you are accomplishing is solidifying attitudes against McCain.

[bill1952]

Heres a reality for you:

I will vote for McCain if, and only if, he resigns his Senate seat before the election, okay?

That will get rid of the puke forever.
Hell, he will not even take Florida, and that is something I would have never said just 4 years ago.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I was able to listen to the speech on the radio and it sounded like a very young crowd cheering for McNuts. I also didn’t hear the same enthusiasm that I heard in the Romney speech. Someone who saw it, tell me if I’m correct.

[presently no screen name]

so you’re voting for McCain.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

CPAC just made a mockery of all conservatives.... Yep, they abandoned their principles today.

Perhaps they should just change their name to CAKPAC for Conservative A$$ Kissers PAC.

[jpf]

I’m not trying to do myself a favor, I’m trying to do the country a favor by sparing us from president Hillary. You should know the difference.

[wolfcreek]

See post #470

[Reagan Man]

I think all candidates who appear at CPAC have some of their supporters bused in. After all, its a political event.

I'd say that after hearing the boos McCain received just as he was about to speak on the immigration issue, the audience was a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Sort of like what a McCain Presidency might be like .... the good, the bad and the ugly.

[Tree of Liberty]

He won that crowed over

Let's wait for the straw poll, shall we?

[org.whodat]

I never was a Romney support! You attack me saying I was. So it had to be the religion, I’m not a Mormon either.

[Hattie]

Every professional politican, with the exception of perhaps Tom Delay, will fall in line.

Of course. If McCain goes down, they very well may too. If not sooner, then later. Because it will be a loooooong road for the Republican Party to coalesce again. JMO

Turned off the television as soon as he walked on stage.

Took my dog for a long hike in the snow and the "fresh air" felt fantastic.
