As truly horrific as it would be for the liberal and unethical Mike Huckabee to win the Republican presidential nomination, many Republicans still believe it would be almost as difficult to stomach the nomination of John McCain.
Huckabee, of course, would utterly destroy the old Reagan coalition, as even his campaign chief Ed Rollins has acknowledged. Huckabee's bizarre propensity for letting criminals return early to freedom, combined with his utter cluelessness about foreign policy, also means that he would get absolutely crushed by the Democrats in a general election contest.
But McCain's problems are almost as great, which is why reports of a comeback by the Arizona senator have so many conservatives scratching their heads.
McCain is, and looks, more than two years older than Ronald Reagan was when Reagan was elected president, and a poll last year showed that 42 percent of respondents said they would not vote for somebody who is 72 years old. That is a far higher percentage than that of people who would not vote for a Mormon (24 percent), a woman (11 percent), or a black person (5 percent).
McCain is not a tax cutter in a party that has made tax cuts one of its most basic tenets for nearly 30 years. Not only did he vote against President George W. Bush's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 -- cuts that clearly are responsible for the booming economy of the past four-plus years -- but just last week he told National Review's Rich Lowry that he was correct not to vote for those tax cuts.

wow...........ugly on purple
McCain’s distaste is only sweetened by the specter of Romney and Huckabee. It says a lot when it takes running against the GOP version of John Kerry and Bill Clinton to make McCain look more electable.
Sen. John McCain-(R) Drive-by Media
How sad and how true
America ain’t going to vote for a 72 year old war hero turned gone soft.
I am a Republican. I vote in every election. And I will not vote for McCain under any circumstances.
So who do you vote for? McCain or Hillary? God forbid either of them become President!
.
Chelsea ain’t talkin’ to the unwashed little peons!
She’s hedging her fun!
If that is the choice, I’d vote Hillary. Give the republicans in Congress someone to fight against - cuz McCain would do about 90% of her policies, while undercutting republicans.
If we’re going to have a lunatic liberal, why not Hillary?
However, I don’t see it coming to that - McCain won’t win in a republican primary (vs open ones).
A John McCain for President yard sign will NEVER cast it’s shadow on my front lawn.
Nor I!!!

Not just "No", but "Hell no"...
That’s pretty good.
Not even his political identical twin, Hillary Clinton makes McCain more electable to me.
I sure hope you are right about McCain. If Hillary wins, life as we know it is GONE.

GOA Alerts Mentioning John McCain
|
Now you’ve done it. The McCaniacs will be over here momentarily to give you a wedgie you’ll have nightmares over. Oh and taunt you unmercifully from thread to thread.
Beautifully organized graphic and information devolve.
Don’t know if it’s my browser but none of the FreeRepublic links are working, don’t know where you found them - they may be old links that Google won’t turn up even in cache.
I went to your www.gunowners.org site and found this link;
GOA On John McCain’s Record;
http://www.gunowners.org/mccaintb.htm
Someone referred to McCain as “The Manchurian Candidate” on a thread this morning and I thought the McCainiacs would have a seizure.
As a nation we can survive a RINO, but we cannot survive for long if the invasion of our country is permitted.

My fault
The links were not complete URLS with the website base
McCain is revising/rewriting his actual history on just about everything now
Amnesty, gun control, borders, tax cuts, lobbyists, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc.
McCain is 2 years older than Ronald Reagan was when he was first elected to the Presidency
Reagan was a jolly likable guy
McCain is a bitter and unreliable self-serving renegade
Aww, I’m sorry about the links as you did a lot of work setting it up nicely. People can find that information - IF they really want to!
I have read that ‘off camera’ McCain rants and raves and some even referred to it as acting ‘deranged’. He scares me as I think there is a ‘meanness’ in him!
.
McCain brags about finishing at the bottom of his class
He was known as “Kick the tires and light the fires” in the Navy
He “lost” a number of jet fighters
One in the famous “Battle of the Gulf of Mexico”
Let’s see, we also read an article saying that he was called ‘McCaniac’ or something similar in HIGH SCHOOL!!
Sounds like he always had a furious temper.
Good post!
My how he’s grown, lol!
.
McCain is “entitled”
Like the Clintons
So are we! We are “entitled” to make all the fun of them we want!!
This may be the first time I don’t vote. But McCain is out no matter what.
