What’s insulting about McCain’s proposal for the gas tax, is that it is one of the few taxes that actually make sense. As long as they don’t spend it on things unrelated to highways, I’m all for gas taxes.

McCain is adrift in a sea of confusion IMO. He doesn’t know up from down as it relates to conservative values.

Global warming? Please, it’s a non-issue. Besides, John is going to fix it. LMAO

It’s getting very ugly isn’t it. If it wasn’t going to be so destructive to our naiton, it would be an “E” ticket ride, watching these clowns.

Thanks for the note and the link.

All I can say is give it a lot of thought and do what makes sense to you.

If you think having McCain represent Conservatism will make Cosnervatism strong, by all means vote for him.

He’s wrong on so many other things why pay any attention to him on this?

What is the option?

There isn't one.  Its either that black militant, communist Clinton or the old guy.

A leftie predicting the eventual electoral success of another leftie. Quelle surprise. ;)

Nor did I ever expect that Hillary and Bill "the first black president" Clinton, would use every trick in Karl Rove's playbook, including the race card, to stop Obama's juggernaught. Team Clinton understands that Rove's tactics work, at least in the short run.

He almost had me until he wrote this. These are Clinton tactics.

“Team Clinton understands that Rove’s tactics work,”

Rove’s tactics? The Clintons require help from no one and bow to no one in the tactics department.

“It does differ as I am wanting the military to finish their job before lefty civilians pull them out.”

Within 8 months of swearing in John McCain will demand the Iraqis handle their own security and, saying ‘we’ve turned a corner’ or somesuch he will gut the force presently in Iraq.

When Bush goes “his” war goes. Yes this is utterly delusional but all three of the three clowns running for president are utterly delusional.

The race card has always been the main card in the Dem playbook. Since neither candidate is getting traction, watch for it to come out with a vengeance. And if Obama is the Candidate, be ready for the MSM to play it for anything Obama is criticized for.

“Our interest clouds our judgment on these matters.”

So you don’t believe the Freepers who think it’s going to be a forty state rout? Neither do I. Some of those same people were convinced that nobody in his/her right mind would vote for the haughty John Kerry with the very questionable past, and yet it came down to 60,000 votes in Ohio.

This year will be a 2000/2004-type squeaker, and it could go either way, depending on the candidates’ likeability and last minute revelations about their pasts, as interpreted by the 2 or 3% of mushy middle voters who aren’t even paying attention right now. I laugh at Freepers who say, “Obama can’t win, Hillary can’t win, McCain can’t win.” They parade their ignorance.

“Here’s hoping McManic’s one of those 2 month presidents like we had back in the 1800’s, and that he’s picked a good VP.”

What an asinine thing to hope! And, wishing for it, you ought to go review the records of John Tyler who succeeded William Henry Harrison as 10th president of the U.S.; and Millard Filmore who succeeded Zachary Taylor as the 13th. Neither are much regarded as "great" choices.

McCain will win IF he gets back on his Straight Talk Express and distances himself from the befuddled Bush.

They just can't seem to restrain themselves from attacking Bush, even though he'll never run for office again. What's amusing is that this 'befuddled' President has run rings around the libs for over 7 years.
