Absolutely, 100% correct!

Last October, J. David Woodard, a Clemson University political scientist who doubles as a strategist for conservative Republican candidates, polled 450 South Carolina GOP voters, asking: "When it comes to politics, do you consider yourself closer to George W. Bush or John McCain?" Sixty-three percent picked Bush. Twenty-one percent said it made no difference. And just 16 percent chose McCain.
The message? "I think McCain has a lot of work to do if he's going to win here," Woodard told me recently. "There is a long-term memory, especially with Christian conservatives, about his comments after the 2000 race."
Last September, with a McCain candidacy on the horizon and the senator out-polling most other potential Republican candidates, Falwell called the senator and asked for an appointment. The two had not spoken for years, since before the 2000 election.
Later, Falwell asked McCain to come to Liberty University. The trip has been portrayed as the beginning of a rapprochement, but in fact the reconciliation is already well underway. When I asked Falwell if he could see himself supporting McCain for president, he quickly answered, "Of course. If he is the candidate, he'll certainly have my support."

Remember, McCain pushed through the Terrorist Protection Bill, so we can't get much needed intelligence from them, and he just recently was willing to give up the First Amendment.
U.S. Must Clarify Commitment to Abide by McCain Ban on Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment
http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/media/etn/2006/alert/202/
The United States’ opening presentation before the U.N. Committee against Torture failed to make clear the United States’ commitment to fully implement the McCain ban on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment for all prisoners in U.S. custody. Human Rights First called on the Administration to implement a single interrogation standard for all prisoners in keeping with the McCain legislation.
“If the Administration continues to carve out groups of people who are not ‘legally entitled’ to protection from torture and abuse, as it suggested again today, it’s hard to understand how it intends to comply with the law Congress passed that prohibits the abuse of all detainees held anywhere by any U.S. personnel,” Rona said.
McCain will never make it out of the primaries
Just don't forget that he's better than any demonRAT.
Let's hope it won't come to that.
That's why I said I was hoping for a strong R. candidate, who can win the primary and be able to beat the Dem nominee.
Rudy has a much better chance than McLame! I can't see Christians voting for Rudy but if it's that or Hitlary...well...they learned what happens when they stay home...Clinton and they are to smart to let that happen again.
Absolutely, 100% correct!

He roasted the 1st over open coals with McCain/Feingold (I wish someone would put that again before the Roberts court).
That is like bing the best yodeler in Compton.
Plus the only place he's going in the near is six feet under, he is a sick (physically) man. (mentally we know)
I caught him last week on CSPAN during the Senate's 'debate' of Pork in the Emergency Spending Bill. The complete left side of his face was swollen and covered by a huge 3"x3" (at least) band aid. He's got cancer - period.
This is satire; right?
McLaim is the Ross Perot of the 2008 election..
McCain cannot carry a Southern state. Maybe one of the liberal states' primary, but nothing south of the Mason Dixon Line. He is vehemently despised in the South.
Let's be clear about this:
Think of the judges McCain will appoint and compare them to ANY democrat.
Think of which party McCain will have to have backing him for legislative and appointment purposes and compare that to the Democrats.
Think of who influences McCain and compare that to who influences the Democrats.
Think of the groups that will back McCain (admittedly somewhat reluctantly) and compare that to who will back ANY Democrat.
The chasm between US and THEM is unbridgeable. McCain may be hanging over the edge of that gulf, but he is still on our side of it.
McVey
With all due respect when you look at his actual voting record and not his phony lifetime ACU rating, he isn't. He votes right along with his "buddies" Kennedy and Kerry a majority of the time on the important Republican / Conservative Bills.
One year, not long ago, his yearly rating was a pathetic 67. That doesn't even classify as RINO.
As I sai, in the meantime, let's hope for a good Republican candidate.
There are plenty others, who can not only win the primary, but beat the Dem candidate, whoever he is.
I still like a Jeb Bush/ Condi Rice 2008 ticket.
McCain and the beast display many of the same character faults.
