Note: the only candidate for me who is below McCain is Ron Paul. I hope this guy is not the nominee. I don't want to do it, but if it is Hillary and McCain, I have to vote for him in November. It is only slightly hyperbolic when I refer to her as Satan's Daughter. While I was in DC recently, I met with a PI who had been hired to harass Kathleen Willey before her testimony in the Jones case. As bad as McCain is, we cannot allow a neo-Stalinist to get back in the White House. It is not just a supposition -- she will shut down talk radio. This will not be a redux of Carter leading to Reagan. If she gets in, she will change the rules and ensure Dem control for decades. She really is dangerous. I would rather do battle with McCain than her. If she wins, I will literally be hiding in a bunker somewhere.

Today he told a reporter: “I believe that the majority of the Republican Party conservatives are convinced that I’m best equipped to lead this country, unify our party and take on the challenge of radical Islamic extremism. I’m the most electable.”

Oh, shut up.

Think again, Beady Eyes. You haven’t convinced any of us true conservatives as far as I know, let alone a majority of us; you’re not equipped to lead anything; by “unify our party” I assume you mean the Dems; you’re scary when it comes to any foreign policy, especially war; and you’re about as electable as a panda dressed in diapers. Actually I think I’d rather take the panda.

[Saundra Duffy]

He says he will protect the sanctity of life? Hypocrite! He voted to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the U.S. Supreme Court. She has been a ruthless anti life activist judge.

McCain must be stopped before it’s too late.

Go, Mitt!

[A message]

I received the same phone call today. Yea he’ll lower my taxes just like he did when he voted against the 2001 tax cuts. Ole Gang of 14, Mcain- Feingold-Kennedy sure reinvented himself on that phone message.

I’ve had Romney, Paul and now McCain messages in the past day and on TV there are Billary and B Hussein commercials. I think I’m in the eighth level of purgatory.

[whatisthetruth]

It is not just a supposition -- she will shut down talk radio.

You actually don't think McCain would support the Fairness Doctrine drawn up by all his old liberal buddies in the Senate?

[STARWISE]

WOW .. he’s really going for broke.
Too bad I don’t believe him.

[calcowgirl]

I didn't get a phone call... I just got this email--several times.
I got really angry when I got to the comparison to Ronald Reagan.
Hopefully, Arnie's endorsement is the kiss of death.

Dear Friend, Today, I am endorsing John McCain to be the next president of the United States because I am interested in a great future for our nation. He is an American hero and an extraordinary leader. He has the experience, character and judgment to confront the challenges we face and a proven track record of getting things done, despite the obstacles. I trust John McCain to reinvigorate our economy, cut taxes, eliminate wasteful spending and to make Washington work to produce results for the people of this country. He has spent the last two decades standing up for American taxpayers. He understands the best way to move our economy forward is to allow families to keep more of what they earn, not the government. And he's a crusader, has a great vision, in protecting the environment and also simultaneously protecting the economy. He has incredible credentials in national security, and he is an outstanding public servant who values real action over rhetoric. He is a leader in the mold of Ronald Reagan and proven time and again that in every decision he makes, he puts America first. Please join me in supporting John McCain for president on Tuesday, February 5th. And, take the time today to become part of John McCain's California Team by signing up at California.JohnMcCain.com. Sincerely, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger P.S. Please forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join me in supporting John McCain for President. John McCain is a great American hero and an extraordinary leader with the experience, character and judgment to confront the challenges we face.

[JOAT]

So your take is the witch will win the Rat nomination, even though the demon old guard is rallying around Obama?

What if they succeed in putting Obama in place?

Still advocate swallowing the 'blue pill' and voting for McShamnesty?

[GOP Poet]

We also received this message. Now if it were true and this listed items were EXACTLY what John McCain would do and truly intended to do he would not doubt get my vote. Unfortunately facts are a tough thing! He also mentioned, "I have a 24-year record to prove it."

That is the sticking point. John McCain has no such record to prove any of what he listed above and if he is lying here, he is also lying about everything else listed if not most of it.

The facts of John's record show he has handicapped the GOP compared to the Democrats with McCain-Feingold. John McCain was one of two senators to reject the Bush tax cuts. John McCain was a senator when they ran up the massive spending in Washington.

John McCain has made fun of the 'loud' conservatives more then once, especially on issues regarding pushing hard and vocally for conservative judges that have a history of strict interpretation of the constitution. John McCain's record shows he is not only not a friend of these sort of positions he is stating he will follow through with, but that John McCain is also no friend to the GOP or conservatives.

I have not even mentioned McCain's Z-Visa for all illegals without the border fence or stopping the huge influx of illegal aliens into our country or the stopping of tax monies, welfare, free health care, and free schooling for all illegals. Facts are a tough thing John. And them the facts.

[floozy22]

Again, this is John McCain and I humbly ask you to vote for me.

...and for my California supporters, free burritos at every voting booth!

[Salvation]

Didn’t get one. Got one from Hillary the othehr day, though.

Talk about throw-up time.

[EDINVA]

“I’ll secure our border first before pursuing any other
immigration reform.”

What does THAT mean? What OTHER immigration reform? Put up a fence, don’t enforce/contorl it, legalize everyone who’s here?

[RachelFaith]

McCain is a SHAMELESS LIAR !!!!!!

[epow]

I received the same call today here in GA. I didn't answer the phone after I saw the caller ID, but the message left on the answering machine was exactly the same as the one you quoted.

To say that I was underwhelmed would be a gross understatement of the fact.

[hope]

Doug, McCain is a politician...It is no different than the previous election where we were promised by GW Bush the world...Actually, I truly believe that McCain will hold true to his conservative promise. He has done that in Arizona...He did stray from his normal conservative record after the 2000 election against W. I cannot explain that. I truly believe he will hold true to conservative values in the long run...I believe he is more of a Barry Goldwater type of conservative...Ideologically, it’s not going to please us all.... But, to the sense that he will hold true as a “foot soldier” against big government.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Reasons to vote against McCain:

#1: Amnesty via McLame/Kennedy

#2: Shredding the 1st Amendment via McLame/Feingold

#3: Force feeding business and consumers to buy into the Global Warming Idiocy via McCain/Lieberman

#4: Nominating this RINO for the Presidency will relegate conservatives to the back benches in the body politic!

[Atchafalaya]

From one Doug to another doug; what would you suggest I use to hold my nose when I vote?

[Eva]

First of all, most of the promises that McCain is making are not in the power of the president to enact. The congress levies taxes, it builds border fences, and passes legislation regarding the freedom of the air waves.

Whenever McCain did have the power to affect these issues, he voted against them. As a matter of fact John McCain authored legislation to limit free political speech, to give amnesty to illegal aliens and to impose an economy killing tax on on carbons.
