Hillary probably has John's FBI File. He was a swinger.

If McCain had been in the Senate 150 years ago the Mason/Dixon Line would probably also be the Mexican Border

Looks like we lost the Mexican American War anyhow now.

RECUERDA CHAPULTEPAC VATO!

I don't Know of one senate bill that Mc Cain has had anything to do with that was not a screw up.Either he is stupid and dumb but for sure a screw ball.

You are probably right. If the wimps in congress-Dems and Repubs- are so afraid of what's in their files then they shouldn't be there in the first place. Why can't any of them act like decent human beings- then they wouldn't have to worry about what she has on them. I want decent people in congress. Why is this such a difficult thing to ask?

The GOP is acting like a minority, not cause of these men, but because of John McCain.

Sorry, but it takes a majority of the majority to make them act like a minority. One senator doesn't hack it.

Frist must announce the McCain does not speak for the party. The way things are now McCain is speaking as he is the majority leader. Frist must be a jacka@@ to let that nut get away with it.

I was just thinking the same thing. What happens to these guys when they quit politics and go on tv? I don't get it. I still remember when Joe Scarborough , before the election was openly giving advice to Lurch on how to beat Bush! Why do they kiss these Rat butts once they get on tv?It's really disgusting.

I was thinking similarly; the "nuclear option" is still on the table but no one in the GOP has the balls to use it.

I am so glad you mentioned Joe Scarborough---when he very first started at MSNBC, I could have sworn he said he was a Republican representative in the 90's---but...

you sure wouldn't know it now. When he gets with Chrissy, Ron Reagan, and Howard Fineman, watch out--he is like someone from the south, that, having moved up north has lost his accent, but...

the minute that person steps off the plane in the south--out comes the accent!!!!! Joe is like that, except in reverse---I never see him get with conservatives and revert to a conservative point of view!

McCain got caught on CNN tonight, being a flip-flopper (although he wouldn't admit it)--

On Captital Gang, it was brought out that Gary Bauer, ex congressman, very conservative said that when he asked Bush if he would appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, Bush said he would appoint constitutionalists to the Supreme Court...(this was during the 2000 campaign, I think)--

When Bauer asked John McCain the same question, according to Bauer, McCain said that yes, he would appoint pro-life judges (i.e. use a litmus test)---

Tomorrow, McCain will be asked about this on Wolf Blitzer's Sunday show, and they showed a clip of McCain saying that the conversation with Gary Bauer was "private" and he woulnd't comment on what he did/did not say re: pro-life judges....hmmmmmmmmmmm interesting, NO?

Queeg(McCain) Ah, but the strawberries! That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist! And I'd have produced that key if they hadn't pulled Caine out of action! I-I-I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer and!......(realizes he has been ranting, babbling)
Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory if I've left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I'll be glad to answer them...one-by-one...

Yeah. I do not have much hope for it being used now.

That show---The Capital Gang is the MOST communist of all of CNNs programming---

Last week, their guest was Teddy Kennedy---and this week, their guest was Charlie Rangel----

Add those two to Mark Fields and Mr. Judy Woodruff, and it is lie after lie, distortion after distortion, and even though Robert Novak and the woman conservative (forget her name) attempt to state the conservative point of view--they aren't very forceful, so the whole show becomes a Bash Bush show every week...

"I'll give to individual candidates to make sure you socialist anti-capitalist liberal infanticide enthusiasts STILL LOSE! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You can't stop me from funding conservative Republicans! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Club for Growth. Highly recommended. F the RNC, and the Republican senators' campaign committee.

I believe 4 of the seven RINOs hold chairmanship on a committee and all that Leader Frist should do is have a talk with them that if they don't fall in line, their chairmanships will be taken away.

He did that to that RINO from PA and it worked!

The mushy middle always exists. Look at these particular posts within threads:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1410045/posts?page=115#115

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1410045/posts?page=76#76

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1410045/posts?page=121#121

These all detail some history. This is what ALWAYS occurs during a major sea change in American politics. I've seen other articles about other periods, but those will do for now.

The way to finally seize the ground is to increasing the majority, not to dump those marginally on your side.
