While I disagree with him on a host of issues, that seems rather uncharitable. The man is a war hero.
As opposed to previous elections? :-)
I’m not seeing any poll numbers on the dems. Am I just missing them?
I will not vote for McCain in a primary or general election.
My vote will not be missed as illegals and RINO’s will fill in the gap.
Propping up McCain. I wish they’d do a little of that for Fred Thompson but just wait till the next SC poll comes out. Let us see where they will stand.
1996 and Bob Dole. What a RINO loser from Kansas. Thanks for the memories.
As it shapes up now, we have the potential of two frauds vying for the Presidency in the general. Not that this is unprecedented, but there usually has been at least one genuine candidate.
huh?
“would result in diminished (R) enthusiasm, stifled fund raising and slim turnout.”
would result in stifled fund raising?
The only GOP that has money now is Romney...and thats his own money.
I lot of people have already spoken with their checkbooks for this field.
Look at all the years that he has shown that he is ineffective. His own state is in a crisis of being overrun by illegals. He admitted publicly that Arizona is the state that has the biggest problem with illegals.
Years ago a voter would have laughed in his face. You had your chance and have failed to provide any solutions except amnesty.
McCain and Huckabee are 2 “Republicans” I will never vote for.
OMG. What a pathetic poll. Clinton News Netwrok, again trying to shape news with a poll, not report news.
What the article left out is that 50 of the 397 people surveyed were carrying a sign that said "Iron my Shirt". Apparently, they came in 2nd through #398 in a recent audition, and had nothing else to do. That's why they participated in a CNN survey.
These polls don’t mean anything, anymore! The PEOPLE are now beginning to speak. It is our turn! The MSM can pound sand if they don’t like who we choose or that we may choose to like to a pollster!
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERIENCE (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding!) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (“Individual” rights to protect their homes and property!)
INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (Diplomacy through Strength and verification!)
SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (Don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s; don’t employ illegal’s; don’t rent to illegal’s; don’t extend credit to illegal’s; don’t give illegal’s rights they have no right to; report all crimes committed by illegal’s to ICE and immediately deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America!) LAW AND ORDER (Enforcement of our current laws regarding illegal immigration!) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (Enough is enough!)
CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (Great progress has been made on the Supreme Court in Bush’s term. FRED was asked by President Bush to spirit Justice Roberts through the confirmation process. The next President will probably have the opportunity to seat two additional Justices. This is huge folks. FRED will nominate Justices who will interpret the Constitution, not create rights that simply do not exist and legislate from the bench!) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (will strive to nominate superior Justices with the eventual goal of overturning Roe vs Wade)
THOMPSON PLAN TO REDUCE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING (Check out his detailed plan to reduce Federal spending!)
SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (Social Security is an entitlement program that will soon overtake the budget. The program can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations; FRED has detailed proposals to save Social Security and provide the added benefit of private savings accounts for younger workers!)
DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT OR RINO (Close your eyes and imagine the first debate between FRED THOMPSON and ANY liberal DemocRAT they put up?)
TAX SIMPLIFICATION (Reform and perhaps eliminate the IRS with a variety of choice for the tax payer!)
EDUCATION (Return education to the States. It is that simple. The NEA is the greatest enemy of our educational system!)
WON’T PUT UP WITH TRUTH MANIPULATION FROM THE DB-MSM (including stupid questions by liberal moderators, and “purchased” political pundits)
FRED THOMPSON IS THE “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to set aside his personal life and step up one more time for his Country…and he stepped up!)
THIRD IN IOWA, SECOND IN WYOMING (MSM still calling it a tie with McCain’s name in the lead…FoxNews won’t even mention his name if they can find a way to avoid it!)
TOTAL DELIGATES TO DATE: 6
WINNER OF SOUTH CAROLINA JANUARY 10, 2008 DEBATE – HANDS DOWN!!! (In lieu of the airtime FoxNews chose to give him…or not give him as the case may be. WE THE PEOPLE notice garbage like that!)
IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR MICHIGAN OR SOUTH CAROLINA OR FLORIDA OR NEVADA. CONSERVATIVES MUST UNITE NOW! A CONSERVATIVE THOMPSON REVOLUTION! ALL ABOARD THE THOMPSON VICTORY EXPRESS!
Never McCain - no, no, no! I’ll vote for anyone but him. The sponsor of the McCain-Feingold travesty against free speech is a pro-illegal amnesty, pro-stem cell research highly volatile wack job!
“Duke” Cunningham is a war hero as well but that does not excuse his actions as a Congressman. Republicans that oppose McCain are looking his record as Senator and not his military career.
If you are depressed about McCain, watch this and it will cheer you up.
