I hope some strong Republicans will run and win in the 2008 GOP Presidential primary.

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.

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.

He roasted the 1st over open coals with McCain/Feingold (I wish someone would put that again before the Roberts court).

Ditto and Amen on his Terrorist Protection Bill.

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.

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.

blasting them for what he called "the evil influence that they exercise over the Republican Party."

McCain and the beast display many of the same character faults.

Apparently he can be a Falwell Republican. He just can't be a The Ghost of FReepers Past Republican.

I can only speak for myself of course, but if McCain is on the ballot at the Republican Primary, my vote will be cast for one of the others, whether I have to flip a coin or am genuinely impressed by one or the other.

I already know who I will not vote for, even under threat of death for voting otherwise!

What rubbish. Looks like York is auditioning for another appearance on MTP where Russert will get him to criticize Bush. York, Kate o'Bierne, etc., circulate from one sunday program to another because they are in the Novak mold.

I don't see how McCain is going to suck up to the Evangelicals after that dirty trick of working with the liberal media to tar Bush for visiting Bob Jones University, thus attempting to get Evangelicals and Catholics feuding with each other.

It didn't work, and I don't believe either Catholics or Evangelicals appreciated it. McCain would be just about as convincing taking a photo-op holding a Bible as bill or hillary.

Don't even think it.

In most cases, I will make a "lesser of evils" calculation, and vote Republican. I may not like the guy, but theoretically he's better than the alternative.

There are only about two exceptions. I will never vote for Specter, not for anything. The man turns my stomach.

And I will never vote for McCain. Not for anything.

So, if anyone in the Repub hierarchy is listening, you'd better factor that in. He may look like the perfect candidate to you, and you have the right to make your calculations. But calculate winning without me. I will vote my own name, or my dog's name, before I pull the lever for McCain. So don't do it.

If you think that McCain losing to Clinton might destroy the country, then count this as a warning. The destruction didn't come when we sat out the election, it came when you ignored our warnings, and nominated McCain.

Jerry Falwell is a good guy who meets with any and everybody, including pimps like Jesse (I have fathered more children out of wedlock than Kweisi Mufume) Jackson. McCain still thinks appearing on the radio with Don (the Annus) Imus will get him there. he can ask his buddy J F Kerry about that.

I suggest following the link and reading the entire article. McCain is being groomed for the southern primaries, particularly ours.
