McCain: I Will Support Ted Cruz If He Wins GOP Nomination

And in the meantime he will do everything in his power to make sure it doesn't happen.

Precisely, E. Pluribus.

Hey, Ted...when you see McCain approaching for a friendly hug, watch for that knife in his hand.

..only smart thing Moo daddy’s done in years

Hey John, don’t get your hopes up for a VP slot.

McStain trying to remain lucid and rational long enough to get re-elected to the Senate again so he can go back to being a loony Democrat. LOL!

"He and I are friendly and I think he is a very viable candidate.”

This is the thing about the entire Senate that annoys the fritz out of me. McCain will support Cruz because Cruz is friendly to him; that is what makes Cruz a viable candidate in McCain's eyes. However, Graham has been friendlier through the years, - goodness knows Graham and McCain have both been Senators entirely too long - hence McCain's preference, abilities and qualifications be damned.

McCain is for him?

Dang.

Actually, I notice that for the first time in years, McCain is trying to distance himself from Obama. It must be election time again.

McCain Aide: John McCain ‘F*****g Hates Ted Cruz’

Watch out, Ted.

That’s racist.

What nonsense. In the extremely unlikely event Cruz receives the nomination, McCain will go back on his word, again. Count on it. Didn’t McCain call Cruz a “loonie bird”? Now he’s going to support Cruz? Right.

Who does McCain hate worse than a true-blue conservative?

Answer: Nobody! And he knows conservatives despise him, so he’s slipping conservative favorite Ted Cruz a poison pill with this `endorsement’.

A cold, calculating & cynical move by McRino. Disgusting!

McCain is trying to distance himself from Obama. It must be election time again.

Remember, too, that McCain is up for reelection in 2016, so he has make nice with conservatives, if he expects to retain his Senate seat.

Why does anyone care what McCain thinks?

One thing is certain: if future generations are to enjoy individual liberty, then the 2016 Republican Presidential candidate must be a man or woman who is able to articulate the opposing idea of slavery within a context which includes explanation of the real human consquences of the 21st Century "progressive" idea of coercive government-over-people--a concept which enslaves entire populations to the whims of petty tyrants and rulers.

America's founding generations understood the history of nations, and framed a government by a written "People's" Constitution to protect and allow freedom for individuals and "chain" (Jefferson) elected and appointed government officials.

Unlike today's crop of so-called "conservative" leaders, those generations could articulate the ideas underlying that Constitution's limits on Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary power. More importantly perhaps, they could explain it to "the People."

See the following for a few examples:

"The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv'd them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas'd them for us with toil and danger and expence of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the latter we are in most danger at present: Let us therefore be aware of it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to maintain the rights bequeath'd to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. - Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that "if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom." It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." Samuel Adams - Essay in the Boston Gazette, October 14, 1771
"When designs are form'd to raze the very foundation of a free government, those few who are to erect their grandeur and fortunes upon the general ruin, will employ every art to sooth the devoted people into a state of indolence, inattention and security, which is forever the fore-runner of slavery." - Article signed "Candidus," in Boston Gazette, December 9, 1771
"If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them." Samuel Adams- As Candidus in the Boston Gazette, January 20, 1772
"The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave... These may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." Samuel Adams - Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772
"It is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave." - The Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772
"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322
"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40
"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams
And:
“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams

Why should freedom-loving Americans be cowered into refraining from using the word "slavery" to describe the condition which results as a consequence of coercive government power over the lives, rights, liberties, and pursuit of happiness of individual citizens in the society?

Perhaps a Candidate Cruz can and will be willing to articulate the ideas of liberty versus tyranny (slavery) in a manner which, as in previous centuries, ordinary citizen voters could understand and support with their "lives, property and sacred honor."

John McLaim is the republican Francois Kerry.. soul mates..
