Your speculation of Hillary joining McCain on the same ticket is absurd. It wont ever happen and you can take that to the bank

I agree. I think John Kerry has that spot sewed up.

LOL

You have a point there.

no that is not “IT” but you are the parrot and quoting talk radio hosts almost verbatim. You do know that Reagan granted amnesty to a few million illegals, you do know that McCain wants to strengthen the borders first and he never stated that he wanted to grant a blanket amnesty to any illegals...if he did..send me the quote. As for closing gitmo..President Bush supports closing it too...as for waterboarding..I can understand why McCain is against it and do not view that as a reason to accuse him of being liberal.
I have never regretted my votes ..ever ..and I will vote for McCain as I voted for Bush 43 twice and for Reagan and
for Bush 41. That is my conscience.

Otherwise he really seems to get it.

On the other hand, maybe not.

Nope he really doesn’t care if our southern border is secure! He really cannot tolerate the use of waterboarding!
However he has shown an amazing ability to back Democrats when it is in his best interests to do so. Kinda wishy washy on the subject. Better than the rats but that isn’t saying much.

Ollie North has also endorsed McCain. Your excellent post is in sync with North’s column.
“”Neither John McCain, nor anyone in his campaign asked me to write this column. But I cannot sit silently while my fellow conservatives do to John McCain what GOP “moderates” did to me. Today, the stakes for our country are far higher, the implications for the future far greater than who sits in one of a hundred U.S. Senate seats. Now, our nation is at war against a vicious foe. We need a president who has proven how to win it.

Over the course of the last six years I have made a dozen protracted trips to cover U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and Marines defending us against a Jihad hostile to all that we hold dear. In the dark days when Al Anbar province Iraq was the bloodiest place on the planet — John McCain was one of the few in Congress brave enough to venture into that cauldron. I know, because I saw him there.”

Good. Ollie is one person many will listen to here.

There is no victory in defeat.

And I would rather battle McCain to bring him to the right on other issues then battle democrats who will invite the forces of evil to attack us.

McCain is a liberal. The other day he let it slip, when he said, "I am a proud libera . . ." Then he realized he was saying it to the wrong people. Nothing conservative about him.

His stand on amnesty, perks for illegal aliens, and voting against the Cornyn amendment alone should disqualify him from seeking the presidency. He is unable or unwilling to fight WOT.

He and Cindy have a huge amount of baggage - questions about his mental and physical health, adultery, pathological lying, nasty and crude behavior, Keating 5, CFR, etc. He and Cindy remind me more of Boris and Natasha than a potential POTUS and First Lady.

It is tragic that we have clowns such as McCain, Hillary, and Obama running for POTUS.

I didn’t realize that Chambliss was up this year.

Who is running against him? Are the (L)'s fielding a candidate?

With statements like, "We believe to win in November it's imperative to have a conservative on the ticket... Once [Huckabee drops out] ... you will see all Georgia Republicans unite strongly behind John McCain." it's easy to see why the GOP still proudly marches under the Stupid Banner.

Under the circumsatances it's beginning to look like the best hope for the next four years is stiff-backed Republican oppositon to leftest moves by the POTUS, whoever that turns out to be.

God help us if it comes down to the likes of Chambliis and Isakson standing between a RINO and the Constitution.

I’m hoping Herman Cain will run against him, but I guess he would have said something by now.

My consolation is that my representative is STERLING. Phil Gingrey is a treasure, and my former rep. was Tom Price,(I got re-districted away from him) who is also excellent.
