Is New Hampshire the new Massachusetts, or what? Someone needs to change this primary system ASAP!

I can understand the supporters of the other republicans—even Ron Paul. I really don’t understand McCain supporters. McCain-Feingold, amnesty for illegal aliens (which just incensed me)... When the MSM calls you a “maverick” you know something isn’t quite right. Reaching across the aisle to dems is fine, bending over for them is something else again.

He’s an honorable man who has served his country. We all respect him for that. I don’t see him as president though.

At a time when some candidates present themselves to voters as something they haven't always been, we find the Arizona senator to be the genuine article.

Oh really...?

SEN. MCCAIN "NEVER SUPPORTED AMNESTY"? (McCain's Claim from Sunday)

It depends on the meaning of “never” (McCain's Convenient Memory)

All the basically liberal newspapers endorsing McCain. Something wrong with this picture? They love it that McCain is soft on the torture question because they don’t believe it should be used themselves. Heaven help our country if it comes down to questioning a terrorist one day who knows where the dirty bomb is hidden.

Don’t forget he flip-flopped on which Protestant group he belonged to. In South Carolina, he’s Baptist. In DC, he’s Episcopalian.

If John McCain gets the nomination, I will be very sick. He is a two faced RINO and I can not trust him. Amen.

I agree - the Presidential race has always been rough!

But now the liberal media doesn’t care if actual voting people don’t like their liberal choices! The liberal media just ignore the other conservative candidates that are too conservative for their tastes! And only cover those who are liberal and agree with their ideas - like McCain!

It makes me sick! Where are the conservative media reporters!?

John McCain is not a conservative. He has always tried to play both sides of the aisle to his own advantage. I respect him for his service, but that’s about it.

Amen.

Another RINO the elites are trying to shove down our throats.

> We did so because of his integrity.

No, they endorsed him because the Nashua Telegraph are communists and see little difference between him and the Shrew, Hillary.

> We did so because of his forthrightness and his refusal
> to pander to voters by telling them what they wanted to
> hear.

No, he refuses to honor the Constitution and panders to the Left.

Another endorsement for the closet socialist from another communist rag.

Ho hum.

NH has had way too many invaders from Taxachussetts. They loved NH for it’s low taxes and pristine beauty. But now they are turning it into the same socialist hell-hole from which they escaped.

McCain’s definition of what “never” is is the same as the majority of our politicians. It is the definition of “amnesty” that they get confused. So, McCain can say he was “never” in favor of amnesty because he defines what “amnesty” is just like Jorge Bush, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, etc! If an illegal “earns” their way to legal by paying a fine and being good, that is NOT amnesty.

Being down here in NC we don’t get to vote until May.

I’ll go vote in the primary. We’ll see who the contenders are around then.

I have friends who are all over the board on the Republican runners but nobody, I say again, nobody is pulling for McCain. None of them have been called for a poll either.

I don't get to vote here in Pa. until April but I still believe this nomination will be settled in the back rooms and on the floor of the national convention.

While I still would like to see Fred Thompson win I don't understand the hatred expessed here for McCain. He has been more hawkish on the War on Terror than either Huckabee or Romney. I believe this country would be safer with him in the White House than either one of them. Domestically, he is slightly more conservative than either of them. I would vote for McCain in a heartbeat over any of the Democrats or Huckabee or Romney.
