Phock McCain...I’m sitting this one out.
It's rank stupidity to equate a President's waiting to endorse his party's nominee with a lack of leadership.
Then again, Free Republic is full of dunces.
A very sad night for true Conservatives everywhere.
Well said!
As regards the future and sovereignty of the United States of America, it’s been two plutocrats in a pod.

Bush wanted to endorse either McAmnesty or Rudy along time ago.
Both of them agree 100% with GWB’s goals to grant Illegal Aliens amnesty
What has our nation, and our party come to that we have nominated such a left-leaning turd of a candidate like McCain to represent us?
Your go along to get along attitude adds one vote. When elections are as close as they have been, the party that goes along to get along is going to lose. There is no contest because we have no true representative and no passion. The electorate has changed and big government is in. But I do not see how Republicans can win with a candidate so many people distrust.
I’m sure the illegals are thrilled, but the republic is now closer to death.
It’s rank stupidity to equate a President’s waiting to endorse his party’s nominee with a lack of leadership.

Has nothing to do with waiting. In this case, I am not the dunce.
This must come as a quite the setback for Obama, who was furiously courting the endorsement.
Not surprising that he’d wait until the nominee was chosen. I’ve never known for a sitting President, at least a Republican one, to make a choice of candidate during a contested primary. I’m sure he’ll campaign for McCain when he can. He wants Republicans to retain the White House, otherwise all his work will have been in vain, because Her Heinous or Obama would start trying to tear everything he’s done down, from the first day.
Don’t know if I’m in before the flaming, but I’m with you. Now, let the flames begin.
McCain 2008
Bumper sticker to be attached asap.
My son thanks you for deserting him during his service to our country.
they’ll come around. Too many here expect perfection and can’t imagine compromise.
As the head of the Republican Party it is NOT the President’s place to endorse a candidate before a nominee is selected.
YOu had plenty of representation. How many candidates did the republicans field? Plenty. Now, the contest is over. John McCain is our nominee. You can sit this one out and spend the next 4 years complaining. As for me, I’m getting to work.
McCain 2008.
If McCain had any sense he would stay as far away from Bush as possible. With an economic recession on, he should figure out a way to run against Bush.
I sure pray you are right. This country cannot afford four years of either of the Dim’s candidates as POTUS.
