Despite what many here at FR think, Fred and McCain have been very close friends.
Fred endorsed McCain in 2000.
So are McCain and Kennedy.
I suppose everyone who has endorsed McCain are very close friends. I hope they are maybe he can influence John a bit. Fred carried himself with respect in the race and he got spit on and derided for it. He talked to the people directly and without a lot of show and the people voted for clowns. They have got one now because they like Pavlov dogs were waiting like the left for their government solutions and were swayed by the uttering of the name of Jesus to vote a Christian socialist from Arkansas and a make believe candidate called Mitt Romney.
You get what you vote for folks. Many of you didn’t want a thinking serious leader. One who didn’t mince words when speaking up for America. You wanted a showman with good hair or one who sounded like he came right off the Andy Griffith show. So we have McCain. We can be thankful he has a real conservative record on many issues. That he is a real war hero unlike John Kerry. I know the cherry picked issues that irritate you because they have irritated me too but I’ll give McCain a chance. He says he is for Border security first, let him prove it.
I say give the man a chance. He does have one thing going for him he has never pardoned 1000 criminals and set murderers free. He is for winning the war and keeping taxes low and cutting spending. He’s Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, and anti-special rights for Homosexuals. He is a little crappy on Global Warming but then again tell me which candidate isn’t? He certainly doesn’t sound like he is going to be a huge Climate Change advocate. I’d prefer a President like the one in the Chech Republic who calls global warming a scam but we stopped electing those kind of leaders when Reagan left office.
You do not get to a position of power, like being a US Senator, without the backing of the party. The Party picked McCain, now anyone who want anything from the Party will back McCain. I am surprised Thomspon sold out. I thought he meant it when he said he was done with politics. But I guess running for Pres lite the fever in him. Wonder what he got for this?
Simply amazing to watch and see how divorced from their base the Party Establishment has gotten,. Think it maybe has reached a crises point with McCain and this election. Going to be an interesting year to watch. The ONE saving grace maybe it is starting to look as if the Democrats are even MORE screwed up then the GOP. I did not think that was possible.
