Amnesty John If this is straight talk, who needs lies?

Gimme a break! I didn’t see (/Sarc) so I must believe you were serious.

McCain suffered. He served the nation. He is commonly accepted as a patriot. That doesn’t give him a pass on unwise political positions today (or of the last 20 years).

Benidict Arnold was a decorated war hero for the United States ...until he chose to betray his own country for his personal well being. Patriotism is not like Calvinism...”Once a patriot always a patriot.”

McQueeg needs a big scarlet L on his weaselly forehead.

While you were retching...

I just heard another blurb from Obama saying, “This election is not about fear. It’s about the future!”

He’s winning the sound bite battle while our candidates tear each other apart with enough poison that the survivor will be fatally wounded for the general election.

[AlanGreenSpam]

It doesn’t help the argument to use emotionalism to manipulate people. Yes, I know McCain nobly suffered at the hands of the VC in Hanoi.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that McCain is

If you watched the debate in this part, you would see McCain with his whiny, “I’m-the-only-one-with-integrity” attempt to portray Romney as a liar, but McCain is the liar!

McCain comes across as arrogant & condescending the more I watch him. He thinks his claim to fame is wrapping the banner of integrity around himself and only he can do so. Yet he a master of manipulating people with emotions and not facts. In some cases, he lies.

Romney shredded him in case you didn’t notice.

Get back to me with a description of Rudy’s Inaugural ball gown.

He was dreaming everybody would buy into it.

Perhaps if republicans would adhere to the Bible’s first 10 Commandments they wouldn’t need an 11th.

[TLI]

and that's apart from the fact that he's been a good enough Democrat that they wanted him to switch parties and run for them.

Little Juan? Nah, why right here I am sure he is telling them he can not go along with their policy...

If your only objection is that Romney is a flip-flopper, then you should have the same problem with Thompson.

Like Romney, he was once pro-choice and is now pro-life.

Thompson was for Amnesty as recently as early 2007; now he's not.

All politicians flip-flop. Romney's only flaw in this regard is that he doesn't do as good a job of hiding as some others.

If you examine it objectively, McCain is the biggest flip-flopper of them all. Pro-Amnesty, now not. Against the Bush tax cuts, now for them. The list goes on and on.

McCain seems to operate in this weird universe where he believes his own words and actions won’t be recalled by the same voters he routinely mocks on MSNBC.

And yet somehow, only Romney gets the flip-flopper label.

‘McCain seems to operate in this weird universe where he believes his own words and actions won’t be recalled by the same voters he routinely mocks on MSNBC.

Romney hasn’t spent years bashing the GOP and its base on MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, so he doesn’t get the ‘cover’ McCain does.

The irony of course, is if McCain were to ever become the GOP nominee, those same entities would take a great deal of satisfaction chewing him up and spitting him out.

The only people who don’t realize this are McCain himself, and Lucy Goldberg at Lcom.

[Retired COB]

I would with a clear conscience sit out the election than cast a vote for such a vile and despicable human. Luckily for our Republic, this cretin will NOT get the nomination. He is the perfect example of scum rising to the top.

I will not vote for McCain either because of the heartaches he's caused the conservatives (read that backstabbing). That said, I prefer to think that his mental functions were compromised by the years he spent as a POW. I honor his service, but I wish he would take a well-deserved retirement.

This from an old retired Navy guy.

[Dante3]

Maybe McCain has mental problems and is getting confused. Or maybe he is a blatant liar. Either way, he is unqualified to become POTUS. With his scandals and left of center record, he will never win in the general election.

[DWar]

It seems that on the issues he changed his position he’s become more conservative.

It's that senatorial ego thing.

[sand88]

I wish he would take a well-deserved retirement.

yes, what a good day that will be for our Republic. Thank you for your service!

Marry, he must have a long spoon that must eat with the devil.

[curiosity]

Yes. He changed from pro-choice to pro-life. He went from supporting gays openly service in the military to supporting the current policy. That's about the extent of his flip-flops.
