——”Romney’s attack ads against Huckabee and McCain were strung-together misrepresentations and distortions, exactly what Romney accused his opponents of doing to him. “

Nice try. You cite these “lies & distortions” but you don’t show facts.

Show us a Youtube link to a Romney ad that matches McCain’s dishonesty & dirty politics on the “Romney Timetable” lie on the eve of the Florida primary???

I’m waiting...

May I remind you that we would never have had a Reagan without a Goldwater, either.

That was clearly a case where Conservatives articulated a brave, new set of principals for the second half of the 20th Century and were slaughtered. But in their loss to LBJ in 1964, the seeds for the Conservative revolution were sown, fertilized and bloomed under Reagan 16 years later.

Here’s one anti-McCain ad by Romney that you probably don’t like because it correctly contrasts their records.

Call it an attack ad if you want, but as Romney says, “Facts are stubborn things.”

So, does that mean that McCain is just psychologically insecure?

Darn! I wish now I hadn't audited that last Psych class!

“John McCain hates people who do not bow down to his superiority.”

Yes. Everyone who was against his amnesty bill are bigots.
Anyone who questions him about his stands, hates the military. He wants everyone to think he is the only Republican in favor of the surge,(even though all were for it) and takes the credit for the surge from General Petreaus. McCain must be stopped! Vote Mitt Romney on Tuesday!

Captain Queeg is also getting the republican voter who will vote party no matter what. These idiots on the MSN Groups all support Huck or McCain blindly.

“... wealth doesn’t influence politics.”

I think that Phil Gramm holds the record for fewest primary votes per (mostly other people’s) dollar spent.

Me too, I think we both were just discussing what to do if McCain is nominated. He will lose big, we will have to fight Hillabama for 4 miserable years, and IF a good candidate can be found, the nation will be ripe to re-learn the lessons of conservative leadership.

Blah blah blah. McCain had two amnesty plans. They changed. Circosta? There may have been other reasons. Is Romney perfect? No. But he is a helluva lot better than McCain any way you slice it.

....Sen. McCain is irritated...."

Well, John McCain may be irritated about Mitt Romney, but that's nothing compared to how irritated I am pondering the thought that this peasant/poser of a Republican, being thrust upon me by the Establishment, (including my RINO Arnold) could possibly enter the White House as a Republican. A few weeks ago I said if it was between Hellary and McCain I'd vote for him, but after doing my own research online about how he's voted in the last many years, he's a left leaning Democrat and couldn't possibly represent my "Very Right Leaning/The Gov't Does NOT owe me a living" views. I am already very sick of hearing how many "Elected Officials" are supporting him. I also can see Hellary's machine kicking his ___ all over the country for 7 months and I'm not sure I can mentally endure that foro that long, and then live with her mug on the TV for 8 years. You see, he's so niiiiiiice to Democrats he'd gladly ALLOW HER to Kick his ____. If you want to witness that, then go on and vote for him. "A COMPROMISE to Democrats is the Rats Getting Their Own Way", and don't forget how good McCain is at appeasing them on your way to the ballot box.

Havinf John McCain run under the GOP banner is a slap in the face.

Good one!

This is what we will have if the GOP chooses McCain.

Wide Open Borders.

The borders are bad enough now. My nephew is a US Border Patrol Agent, and it’s mind-boggling the things he sees and intercepts.

Last week in one night alone they stopped and seized 800 lbs. of marijuana and 500 lbs. of cocaine.

I've lost almost all respect for Medved, and I had quite a bit before the past couple of weeks. His schtick now is so obviously, "make the facts fit my position" - I don't know how he sleeps at night.
 
Medved, in the process of selling his soul:

Rick Santorum was on Laura’s show today talking about McCain’s conservative values. Santorum endorsed Romney.

Really? How many people crossed party lines to vote for McGovern?


The fact McCain got Democrats to vote for him is not a good thing, it should tell you something...

However, my point is that McGovern won his parties nomination and then went on to lose in a landslide because the Democrat base would not or could not vote for him.

McCain may very well win the nomination, but it appears he will do so without support from his base

I am thinking that the Republican party has moved too far to the left, as the Democrat party did years before, and has left me behind. If McCain wins the nomination I will leave the Republican party, go independant.
