Just floating an idea. The last President that was a Senator was LBJ. He kind of won in 64 cause the Nation was still in morning so he got that one by default.

Not a McCain supporter, but do you think the reason they have such a difficult time with their “baggage?” Their voting record in the house of compromise?

I've been wondering how long it would take before I saw this headline.

[No Dems 2004]

This seems to be a pretty good editorial. John McCain will be getting my vote in November. He may not be perfect but he’s certainly right on many, if not most, conservative issues.

[jveritas]

Excellent article.

We don’t feel like we can trust McCain on anything but the terrorism issue. He has no economic credentials and you just can’t trust his conservative credentials on judges, taxes, social issues, global warming, immigration, etc.....

If he truly is a fiscal conservative that would be a start. I’d love to see him veto any legislation containing earmarks.

That said, we certainly know Hil/Obama aren’t with us on ANY of these issues. I’ll vote for McCain but I’m praying for a miracle at the convention!

Chicken king Bo Pilgrim wants immigration reform. First he might keep an eye on his own coop.

Feathers are flying at Cluckingham Palace, the Pittsburg, Tex. mansion of Lonnie (Bo) Pilgrim. The 79-year-old founder and chairman of Pilgrim's Pride (nyse: PPC - news - people ), the nation's biggest chicken processor ($7.4 billion sales), had barely caught his breath following the sudden death in mid-December of Chief Executive O.B. Goolsby, when he faced a fresh crisis. On Jan. 8 a federal grand jury returned indictments against 20 Pilgrim employees. (No one has yet entered a plea.) Five people have been charged with peddling stolen Social Security numbers and forged documents to illegal immigrants looking for work at one of the company's slaughterhouses, in Mount Pleasant, Tex. Says Alan Jackson, the assistant U.S. attorney prosecuting the suspects, "Identity theft is what makes the case."

I want Huckabee and McCain to address this, specifically, this case. The people of Texas need to call these candidates to account and what they plan on doing to stop this in -your- face- corruption..

Republicans,

I sincerely believe that we must come together to support McCain, mend the GOP and defeat the dimocrats.

 

Makes sense to me; certainly hope it makes sense to you.

McCain will get his ass kicked in a debate with Obama. He probably will have a temper melt down between now and Nov. 4th. My guess is that he will either self destruct or look like a clown. Or both.

[shuckmaster]

If there were enough anti-McCain Republicans to make a difference, McCain wouldn’t be the candidate.

[elizabetty]

Republicans cannot win every Presidential Election.

Hopefully we will lose this one when he have such a crappy nominee and in the future we will win when we have a GREAT nominee.

[jveritas]

The funny part is that the anti-McCain crowd play the role of the persecuted victim when it come to the debate about McCain. FR has a banner asking to stop McCain at any cost, 95% of vocal freepers are against McCain and attacking left and right without any mercy, 95% of talk radio hosts are against him and spend 90% of their time attacking him, and yet if someone like IBD tries to make the case why McCain is better than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, the “victimized conservatives” start screaming that they are being attacked.

[jveritas]

Also notice that this is one of the few times and IBD article gets a lot of response because it came supporting McCain, and vast majority of “vocal” freepers do not like it.

PS: IBD has the most powerful and logical editorials in America.

[Pravious]

I would rather lose than unite around McCain, who’s done more damage to our country than both Clintons combined.

[TigersEye]

Nothing will ever change my mind. McCain deserted conservatism and the country.

[Rippin]

Pundits really miss the importance of volunteers. Sure a lot of conservatives will hold their nose and vote, but they will NOT I repeat NOT man the phones for McCain, or hold signs or smile while they do it. They wont do any of a million things the campaign needs. With no grass roots energy it will lose.

[rolling_stone]

I think McCain needs some “tough love”. Those in charge, US voters need to sometimes bite the bullet in the short run to gain control in the long run. We’ve had too many bad boys doing things their way. The GOP is poorly run and needs a complete housecleaning. It needs a contract with its members, similar to the Contract with America.

"Drink RINO arsenic Koolaid! It'll kill ya slower than 'Rat cyanide Koolaid!"

Great new party slogan, but this year I'm going to pass.

Benedict Arnold McCain will just have to get himself elected without my vote.

[Natty Bumppo@frontier.net]

Tomorrow is the Virginia primary. I have voted a straight Republican ticket in every election in which I was eligible to vote since 1974, including mostly by absentee ballot for my 24 years in the Navy.

I even held my nose and voted a straight Republican ticket in 2006.

Tomorrow I will vote in the Democrat primary AGAINST Hillary Clinton. Of the Republican candidates left, it matters not which one wins; as they are all unacceptably socialist. But at least I can do my part to ensure that Hillary NEVER becomes President.

[NickFlooding]

With the Moon god’s RINO Sword of Conversion hoisted high above their heads the IBD adherents recant their Conservative faith and convert to RINO/Liberalism.

[Mamzelle]

No.
