While I'm not 100% with Dobsen... I agree with him on this one. I wont support McCain or Rudy under any circumstances.

Newt, Mitt or Duncan is the way the GOP needs to go if they want my vote.

[Fiji Hill]

It's sad that McCain is sitting in Barry Goldwater's Senate seat.

[1Old Pro]

I'm not sure which republican candidate I will support in the republican primaries as they have not all entered the "race" yet.

I will tell you one thing for sure:
1) I WILL DEFINATELY VOTE IN THE GENERAL 2008 NOVEMBER ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT
2) I WILL VOTE FOR WHOMEVER THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IS WHO IS RUNNING AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON.

There's an old saying that Johnny boy should have learned a long time ago:
Be careful that the toes you step on today aren't attached to the a$$ you may have to kiss tomorrow.

On the issue of the gay marriage, I believe if people want to have private ceremonies, that's fine. I do not believe that gay marriages should be legal."

That is the position most people take. Who cares what people want to do on their own time?

[meg88]

I don't think there is much risk of McCain getting through the primaries. He will screw up somewhere and make a big mistake

[I still care]

I remember back in 2000 when McCain was running against Bush in the primaries. Quite a few people in my church, including the pastor, were supporting him.

Then right before the Carolina! primary he dissed Pat Robertson and other Christian conservatives. Overnight everyone switched to Bush. I never saw someone shoot themselves in the foot with such relish.

The MSM couldn't figure out what happened.

If conservatives don't unite behind the most electable of those three -- Mitt -- then it seems probable that we will end up with McCain or Rudy.

[basil]

Amen, brother--we all better vote for whomever the Republican candidate is in this election. Having a democrat elected this go-around could very well be the end of this country, IMHO. I think the terrorists are waiting for a dem to win--then they will start massive attacks against us on our own soil. They already know that the dems are appeasers, not warriors.

McCain - Feingold '08

Yep. McCain has been an asshat for years. He's made his bed sucking up to the MSM and blowing off conservatives, now let him sleep in it.

[MarineBrat]

I would not support McCain either. After he pi**ed on the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, I have no respect for him.

[teddyballgame]

"McCain's wooing of GOP social conservatives has not been pretty to watch."

Yeah, what ever happended to the "Straight Talk Express"? It's in storage, replaced with the "Doubletalk Express".

[Sue Perkick]

Ditto

[Terabitten]

Newt, Mitt or Duncan is the way the GOP needs to go if they want my vote.

Duncan Hunter appears to be the most conservative of the three. I will always vote for the most conservative candidate in any election - primary or general.

[rintense]

I am one of the 'I will never vote for McCain- EVER' people.

"Newt, Mitt or Duncan is the way the GOP needs to go if they want my vote.

Except Mitt is just as unelectable because of the Mormon thing.
