This is my first post on FR, but I was lurking around here for a while without an identity. Yes, I am a McCain supporter and I strongly believe he would be an excellent President of the USA. He has a record of voting for pro-life legislation, he introduced the Pork-Barrel Reduction Act. He supported conservative judicial nominees and in matters of national security, he showed to understand the imminent threats to our country, from North Korea to China to Iran. That's enough for me.

Not a chance you will not find much support here. We know who McLame is, we know what he stands for: amnesty, no first amendment, Keating, and more.

McLame almost became a Democrat offically in 2001 and 2004. This guy is a liar and a cheat and WE WILL NOT BE FOOLED.

The Federalist Society likes Giuliani and McCain? Shame on them.

What is McCain going to do when schumer and kennedy and the democrats filibuster conservative judicial appointments? I believe he’ll ‘compromise’ with the left and let them pick the next supreme court justice. He won’t fight to get honorable men like Bork appointed. He’ll cave and let the liberals have another souter.

Welcome to Free Republic, but you picked a really dumb name. There is no such thing as a moderate conservative. You are either a conservative or not a conservative. Conservatism is a set of core values and convictions that are logical and spiritually derived and as such can not be compromised (which is what moderate-ism is all about).

I'm just saying.

Sounds like the Federalist Society should endorse Paul instead of the others.

Welcome. I expect your time here will be revealing as to the depths most despise your candidate here. Are you part of his campaign’s outreach?

Unfortunately, McCain's face is missing from this picture... As a co-sponsor of the Amnesty Bill, he should have been front-and-center, with the other Democrats.

McCrazy doesn’t even make a decent person much less a president. If you can’t tell I detest the backstabbing, nasty, self-serving POS.

Do the McCainiacs actually think John McCain is ever going to veto anything sent him by his good buddies Russ Feingold, Ted Kennedy or John Kerry? HE AUTHORED LEGISLATION WITH TWO OF THEM AND WAS GOING TO BE THE VP CANIDATE WITH THE OTHER!

These “Party Uber Alles” types really have got to try thinking instead of emoting for a change. A politician who is 10% on your side, 90% on the other is still your enemy no matter what party label you slap on him.

No Conservative should ever consider voting for McCain. We worry the others will betray us. We know McCain will betray us. Look at his record for the last 8 years? Been nothing but betrayal and obstruction.

With any of the other candidates we have a seat at the table. We know John McCain will never listen to us on anything.

With McCain Conservatives would get maybe 10%. That would not be worth the enormous long term damage McCain would do to both the GOP and the Conservative Movement. With a McCain Administration we would have a mis- labeled “Conservative” Administration pushing Democrat Party polices while the GOP took all the political fall out of the consequences of those disastrous decisions.

Just what could Conservatives expect to get from a McCain Administration? Based on McCain’s record for the last 8 years, we could expect to get tough talk on foreign policy and spending with no real action on any issue.

Do people forget the Democrats trying to get McCain to flip party’s in Jan 2006? Forget that Dems wanted McCain as their VP candidate in 2004?

How quickly the supposed Conservatives for McCain forget McCain’s political record. From Tax-cuts to the War to Judges McCain’s whole strategy has been to be as Liberal as possible and stay in the GOP.

Politically there is very little difference between Hillary and McCain. You get minor variations on this and that issue, like abortion, but over all McCain and Clinton share the same political philosophical outlook

McCain has done nothing for the Conservative movement in 8 years. While talking a good game on spending, he has done nothing. This is particularly galling considering all the issues CFR, Judges, Immigration Anti Torture Amendment-Gang of 14 etc etc etc issues which McCain was more then willing to throw his weight behind an issues to get legislation passed.

McCain has actively worked against the Conservatives on Social issues, on the WOT, on Iraq, on Gitmo, against Rummy, on Immigration and on Judges, on Global Warming etc etc etc etc etc. McCain has far more in common with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama then he does with any Conservative.

Funny how the Talking Heads miss this. Out of 49 Republican Senators McCain has been ranked 45th by the American Conservative Union for his voting record!

McCain would be the worse of both worlds. A mislabeled “Conservative” Administration actively advancing the Democrat Party’s agenda while knifing Conservatives in the back daily. You could even count on a McCain Administration appointing Leftist Judges in order to avoid fighting with the Democrats in the US Senate.

Tough on Foreign Policy? You think Mr “Close Gitmo and extend the same legal protections US Citizens have to the terrorists” McCain is going to have a “tough” foreign policy? The father of the Baker Commission and the plan to surrender Iraq to Iran and Syria is “strong on Foreign Policy”? Not based on his recored. The wrost thing that a McCain Administration would do is it would fracture the few remaining GOP Congress critters into pro and anti McCain factions. McCain would be the worst of all world politically for the Conservatives.

At least with a Democrat Leftist Administration, as opposed to a McCain Leftist with a GOP Label Administration, the Democrats would get all the political fall out of their disastrous political decisions and the GOP would unite in fighting them. The worst of all possible worlds for Conservatives in 2008 would be McCain getting elected Presiden

Excuse me, but this “federalist” can’t be much of a federalist if he supports McCain.

Tough on Foreign Policy? Mr “Close Gitmo and give the terrorist the same legal rights as US Citizen” is NOT a tough Foreign Policy President in the making.

Action speak far louder then words. An based on his actions McCain would be as weak a President as either Hillary or Obama. The only difference would be McCain’s GOP party label.

Your candidate has been accepting large donations from such left-wing progressives as Tides Foundation (George Soros), the Environmental Defense Fund, and David Geffen (Hollywood entertainement producer). McCain founded a 501 nonprofit to hide those donations. See at the following link:

http://www.reforminstitute.org

One of the major players in this organization is Dr. Juan Hernandez, a former minister in the Mexican administration of Vicente Fox. Dr. Hernandez was a fundamental player in tranferring 10% of Mexico’s poorest population into the U.S., where we now provide them with generous welfare.

After reading about Senator McCain’s think tank with its proposals for curtailing First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech, and a future North American Federation, maybe you won’t be so quick to vote for him.

If I remember there were 4 founders of the Federalist Society.
I highly doubt that Professor Gary Lawson is supporting McCain. Apparently while he was a law student at yale he had a bumper sticker on his briefcase “Taxation is Theft”

McCain=Amnesty=Destruction of this country as we know it. Everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic The fact that this guy supported Rudy prior to switching to McCain tells you something.

Welcome aboard.

Well stated position, though I disagree with it. He has come out in favor of federal funding of using unborn humans for experimentation. That's a deal breaker for me.

Added to his temperament and the uneasy feeling I get when he speaks, I am forced to a third party in November if he is the nominee.
