McCain/Guliani will be the 2008 ticket.
I don't like it too much, and it is the day after the election in 2004, but that's how I see it coming down.
McVain was the co-author of the unconstitutional CFR, defender of John F. Kerry, and overall schmuck. The base won't forget that...ever.
Then we will lose the White House in 2008.
Rudy is no conservative and McCain has offended so many conservatives with his flip-flopping back and forth across the aisle (does that man have ANY core principles!?) that he can't win with Republicans.
You win by LEADING. The cause, right now, is conservatism. We need a conservative leader not a mushy moderate or a liberal. Bush is just barely conservative enough, especially on most social issues, to have enlarged his base. We need MORE conservatism, not less. If not, we'll lose.
I will never vote for such a ticket. Never, no matter who is running against them. Never.
And any freepers who don't like it if it comes to pass can kiss my kiester.
