McCain Is the Only Hope of the GOP & America

[deacon blues]

He's got a stellar conservative record on abortion. He is pro family and anti gay agenda. He is an American hero. He has NEVER inserted ONE earmark in any apropriations bill in his ENTIRE Senate career. He is not owned by any lobbyist, any company, corporation, special interest.

He isn't owned by the GOP. The Republicans ruled Washington in the White House and the Congress fro six years and somehow could not even ban partial birth abortion. They could not make the tax cuts permanent. They got messed up in the Jack Abramoff lobbyist scandal. They spent money worse than the Democrats ever did. W NEVER vetoed ONE spending bill for excessive and wasteful spending. They wasted a golden opportunity in six years. The only thing they really did right was the original tax cuts, the Supreme Court appointments and the War on Terror, although Rumsfeld's advice was wrong (on a smaller force in Iraq---one which McCain originally spoke out in opposition of and one which the "surge" has proven to be right.) Their mismanagement cost us the majority in the Congress. That was on a "true" conservatives watch, one that reads the Bible everyday and is an avowed Christian.

McCain broke with his party he says whenever he felt it was in the best interests of his country. When he has had to choose between his party and his country, his country will win every time.

He will fight this war on terror right, something the Democrats will not.

Romney has a much more liberal record than McCain. He was Pro-Choice when it was convenient when running for Governor of Massachusetts. He suddenly is now pro-life? Please! The Dems will eat his lunch if he is the nominee. They will recycle those old John Kerry flip-flop commercials and paint him in a most unfavorable light. At least with McCain you know where he stands.

If you stay home this election---you are guaranteeing that the Dems will win the White House. And that, my friends, is a risk not worth taking. Don't stay home if your man doesn't get in, or the GOP nominee is less conservative than you. You might have to vote just to keep Hillary or Obama out.

Be wise. Think beyond Rush Limbaugh's radio program. I listen to him everyday and he certainly is not the bastion of godliness! Besides he admits to being right 98.9% of the time.

This time he's wrong about McCain.

We aren't always going to get Ronald Reagan every time, unfortunately.

Did he win in Florida? I think Romney is gonna be gone soon.

[seguidordejesus]

What, you don't think Giuliani's gonna get the nom?

Whatever happened to Huckabee?

[deacon blues]

McCain won the Florida primary. He is in the driver's seat. Guiliani is rumored on the news that he is quitting tomorrow and endorsing McCain.

we will se what happens but i would have preferred thompson, but he is gone, god help us, dt

McCain is often hot tempered and and snappy. He's really toned himself down a bit recently in this campaign though. I don't think McCain is a stellar conservative. When he ran against Bush his lack of conservatism hurt him. McCain has supported Roe, though saying he's prolife, McCain even supported stem cell research. McCain's record with free trade is spotty.

When I look at the field and see who's rising to the top in both parties it's evident to me that Reganomics dead. The Republicans leading the pack are largely populist and progressive when it comes to economics. They'd make good late 80's early 90's Democrats.

I think it's time we wake up. The Republicans have no intention to address abortion and gay marriage. Some of the most powerful Republican constituents support abortion rights and gay marriage. Around every election they come out talking about life and values and then get into their pro-corporate money making schemes that nearly wreck the economy. Our economy has taken a big hit, the value of the dollar is down, the housing market is devastated...these cats are rotten to the core. They changed "deregulate", and "less governmental regulations in banking"...they got what they wanted and predatory lending practices got us here.

I don't think the Republicans are worth a lick. The Democrats aren't much better. The only thing we'd have going for us under the Democrats is that they might be grateful enough to actually listen to the American people and return to a Pro-American domestic policy that the Republicans completely abandoned.

I have the same concerns as Aquila about McCain, but he may just be the only option for me. I would like him to be a tad more conservative and to oppose Democratic stupidity more...but DividedThigh, you may be right - we can't have a Reagan every time...
