“I “may” end up puking and voting for macnasty... but his ACU rating is 65% NOT 85%.”

True. He is no conservative, but nontheless, I can’t vote for Obama’s partial birth perversity. I have to do all that I can to stop that assault on the most innocent.

Just trying to gin up support for that Huckabee 3rd party run should Hillary beat Obama.

“You can get yourself removed from their contact lists by asking. It seems to have worked for me so far.”

Not for me... I have received 14 dozen “FINAL NOTICE” letters begging me to donate.

I am not saying he’s perfect, far from it.

This is your best statement. Go from this point.

McCain is a Fiscal conservative. —Id that why he opposed the Bush tax cuts until his candidacy almost tanked?

McCain economic team is proposing to stimulate econmic growth via tax rate cuts. — He could have voted for the original ones 7 years ago but didn’t.

McCain wants to fight the WOT. — Defend the Iraqi constitution while scribbling his own notes on ours?

McCain, unlike Ann Coulter, supported and voted for John Roberts and Sam Alito for the SCOTUS.-—Gang of 14 remember that?

McCain is pro life. — Until his pal Kennedy crosses the aisle in a bipartisan attempt to comprimise

McCain is pro second Amendment. — “Close the Gun Show Loop Hole” remember that little phrase?

McCain-Feingold is a problem with me. However, it wasn’t a problem with Bush, FR/Sean Hannity’s favorite dem Zell Miller, and FR favorite Fred Thompson. — It is a problem with me and it’s unconstitutional. Thompson at least had the honor and integrity to admit it was wrong and had bad unforseen consequences. McCain hasn’t admitted the error, he isn’t willing to admit his mistakes and try to fix them.

I am not saying he’s perfect, far from it. but those are pretty strong creditials. — On the surface yes but look a little more critically and you’ll see the emporer has no clothes.

If McCain doesn’t “pander” to the Right, he will lose. The base of the party puts candidates in a position to win. Many conservatives will hold their noses and vote for McCain, but they won’t volunteer, donate, campaign, put out signs, etc...unless he can rally the base.

I can’t believe the McCain campaign folks thought the MSM was going to be on their side. They also thought the Mindlesss Middle would rise up and sweep him to victory?

Without the broken glass, there is no victory for McCain.

I’d rather be waterboarded than vote for Juan McCain.

“True. He is no conservative, but nontheless, I can’t vote for Obama’s partial birth perversity”

Not to minimize the horrors of partial birth abortion, but just today someone tossed a live fetus into a hospital garbage can and it died. No President can stop this kind of horror with laws.

We need to think big picture - the damage either of these men will do to our country would be enormous. The difference, with Obama at least there will be some opposition.

Well the rank and file voters are only bringing out about half the votes for McCain’s primary wins as Hillary is losing with. The rank and file have left the Grand Old Plantation.

I just went and put a quick spreadsheet together of the primaries. I only included states where primaries/caucuses have been held for both parties. Here are a couple of the results:

1) Democrats have pulled in 20.9% more votes than Republicans: 21,993,987 votes to 14,393,155 votes.

2) McCain has received 5,711,453 to date in the primaries.

3) Clinton has received 10,310,367 votes to date in the primaries.

4) Obama has received 10,533,027 votes to date in the primaries. (Note: Obama's total is artificially low since his name was not on the MI ballot and he didn't campaign in FL).

I think based on the sheer number of motivated Democrats showing up at the polls that the Republican candidate is going to get swamped in November.

America is a forgiving nation. If he had been able to come up with a read my lips I’m sorry but I could not have anticipated...and came across as sincere and funny he would have been ok. History shows that. Like it or not, personality counts.

That is true, very true.

This is exactly why I was able to support Thompson in spite of CFR - he admitted his mistake.

If my grandmother of 94 is going to be beaten to a pulp by a 25 yr old boxer and a 70 yr old grey haired guy...I only have one bullet...I shoot the 35 yr old boxer and deal with the 71 yr old in other terms.

Perhaps it worked for me because I was on a first name basis with many for the time I put in working for past candidates.

John McCain is a good person.

Right. And Benedict Arnold was the hero of Saratoga.

It isn’t fat cats or the Eastern elite or any such which is telling conservatives to drop dead; it’s the ordinary rank and file pubbie voter. Conservatives need to examine all of their positions and see if there might be any sort of a rational cause for it.

You have got to be kidding.

If anyone has thought out thier positions, it is a conservative.

Maybe you need to wander down a few web-sites and find a GOP site that better suits your "Party over Principle" philosophy.

age has nothing to do with it.

Everyone will rally behind a Mccain Presidency (amnesty, higher taxes on global warming). 50% the country (and most of the R’s in Congress) will oppose Obama
