VIDEO - 7:14 mins

------

After John McCain’s speech at CPAC, Tom DeLay said in an interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC “Hardball”, that Mr. McCain had failed to acknowledge or repent his many votes and campaigns where he had waged war against the Right. Tom said, "He (McCain) didn't make many friends here today." DeLay concluded his interview to Matthews final question by stating “If he continues to be the same old John McCain that has disdain for the conservatives, then I’m not sure who’s the most dangerous to be in the White House” (Hillary/Obama or McCain). - TAB

From FlAttorney's FR "Straight Talk" page:

I have no public comment regarding Fred Thompson withdrawing from his Presidential bid, and the on-going serious RNC fiasco, until the week after CPAC 2008 which I and three colleagues are attending. I am only attending CPAC on Feb 7-8. - FlAttorney

I am happy to see that DeLay isn't jumping on the McCain bandwagon.

oh yeah, I agree with DeLay...I'm still trying to figure out who is more dangerous to America.

If we lose our nation, we have lost everything. Don't listen to McCain's promises of the moment: observe his actions. This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a verified traitor. Born in Dallas he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last "real" job was serving in Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as his "American Reconquista Director." After that gig ran out, he worked for George Soros funded internationalist foundations, like the one that published his book.

Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA.

And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week he was asked about this choice, and McCain said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions.

Juan Shamnesty McCain is precisely a treacherous liar.

Remember: Benedict Arnold was also a genuine war hero, who lost a leg and suffered months of agonizing recovery...before he became a traitor.

...the on-going serious RNC fiasco"

I caught part of Rush disgussing the difference between the RNC and the DNC with a caller last week. The caller had said that people need to follow the issues and support the efforts of the national committee in order to better spread the conservative agenda.

Rush asked him who the chair of the RNC was and he said, "I'm sorry, I don't know. Who is it?"

Rush replied, "I don't know , either."

[X-Servative]

This from someone who unceremoniously resigned. Kettle, it’s the cup line two.

[Melchior]

Did McCain ever win more than 50% of the vote in any primary?

[kjo]

And this is just the beginning...the liberals in the MSM will now turn on the guy they were helping only last week...expect much more of this kind of interview.

[cripplecreek]

I see John McCain being more dangerous than the democrats in the words of everyone who says “But he’s better than a democrat”. The last thing we need is rubber stamps put on everything McQueeg does because “he’s better than the democrats”.

[meandog]

I am happy to see that DeLay isn't jumping on the McCain bandwagon.

...because he's currently riding on the Jack Abramhoff one.

[alicewonders]

I am in 100% agreement with Delay.

Things are dire right now, we need to pray together unceasingly.

Lord, please give us the courage to stand together against the forces who are destroying our country. Please forgive us for squandering the blessings you have given us. We humbly ask for your help and we know we cannot do it without you. We pray in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

[David Isaac]

It is possible that Delay is angling for conservative support for a political bid of his own, perhaps even the big one. I would be curious, however, as to how and why he lost power in the first place (that farcical court-case against him not withstanding).

[Right_in_Virginia]

I know passions are hot right now. And, many will find this difficult to believe: In a blink of an eye the real possibility of a Clinton/Obama win will set in and methinks we’ll all be feeling differently.

This is why I just don’t think it’s helpful for Delay or Rush, et al, (and I love them) to spend so much time writing the Dimm campaign ads for the general election.

[Cvengr]

Well, friends come and they go,...which reminds me of a more interesting video (keep watching until he gooeeesss.....)

[Chuck54]

Delay looked a bit tipsy? Or is that just me?

I am of the Reagan philosophy concerning speaking “ill” of fellow Republicans.

If one is that dissatisfied, as DeLay seems to be, withdraw from the Republican Party, register as an Independent or, heaven forbid, a Democrat and fire at will.

I will do what ever it takes to keep our brave men and women in uniform from having to “salute” CIC Hill or Bama.

[ontap]

Do to the rules the idiot Republicans chose to put on themselves Tom Delay had no choice but to resign. I’ll pick Tom Delay over any of the candidates left.

[CAluvdubya]

LOLOLOL! That was a good one!

[ontap]

See post #15

[Bahbah]

Tom DeLay is the first politician other than Jim Inhofe who I have seen have the courage and honesty to say flat out that man made climate change is a crock.

[cripplecreek]

John McCain is going to lose anyway so I’ll be writing a name in. Cowardly conservatives can vote as they wish but I’m not going to push the GOP leftward ever again.

[CindyDawg]

Amen.

[Right_in_Virginia]

John McCain is going to lose anyway so I’ll be writing a name in. Cowardly conservatives can vote as they wish but I’m not going to push the GOP leftward ever again.

Whatever. If you're satisfied knowing that standing on your rock solid, intractable principles will put our military, economy and courts in the middle of quicksand...well, Godspeed.

[Fred]

Tom DeLay got everything he wanted while in congress. He spent the GOP into oblivion....he is one of the BIG FAT REASONS why we lost the congress in 2006.

And now he is pissed because his bitch, Kevin Madden Mitt's guy, is out.

You will see them all kiss and makeup once Madden is riding the McCain GravyTrainExpress.

[Vinnie]

I am of the Reagan philosophy concerning speaking “ill” of fellow Republicans.

I'm with you on that.

That time has passed.
Any attack on McCain now simply increases Hilbama's chances.

[ontap]

Oh! So now the conservative should leave the party and leave the backstabbing RINO alone. Not gonna happen!!!

[Racehorse]

Whatever. If you're satisfied knowing that standing on your rock solid, intractable principles will put our military, economy and courts in the middle of quicksand...well, Godspeed.

Yes. Godspeed.

I'm apalled that so many seem to be among those guys and gals Clint Eastwood quipped about.

"Conservatives, often times, are very masochistic. They say, 'I’d rather not show up than have so-and-so. If it’s not my guy then I won’t show up’. You can’t be that way.” -- Clint Eastwood: Ann Coulter, others, 'masochistic'

[Chuck54]

I'm with you on that.

Thanks Vinnie but I am of the mind we are in the RWVM (Right Wing Vast Minority) on this forum.

Many FR posters seems to have "jumped the shark" in supporting most conservative principles and if you are not hard core right and I do mean really, really hard core, you will be slammed unmercifully on this site.

Pity really.

{Ducking and running}

[ontap]

The man did not say a damn thing that I don’t wholeheartedly agree with. John McCain got himself into this fix he’s in and he’s going to have to get himself out. I will not vote for him at this stage he will either renounce the liberal bullshit and come back into the fold or he will not get elected. Frankly I think he’s a long shot at best.

[sweet_diane]

"Any attack on McCain now simply increases Hilbama's chances."

You really are correct. Barring something incredible happening, McCain is going to be our nom, like it or not.

I was listening to CPAC when Romney made his outstanding, yet unfortunate speech. Unfortunate in that it was the first time he caused me to want to vote for him! Just MY luck! I like em, they drop out. Anyway, Romney made a good point... we are a country at war and we must make sacrifices. He did..he did not want to drop out, yet he looked at the big picture and saw where the votes were going. For me personally, that went along way to make up for some of my negatives toward Romney.

I just hope somebody can get a leash on McCain or at the least, influence him toward the right.

[ontap]

Let them slam us! I’ll stand with you guys.

[Vinnie]

I am not a McCain supporter by a long shot, but..
The thought of Hibama in the White House sends chills up my spine.

Therefore I’m keeping my anti-McCain thoughts mainly to myself.
B!tch and moan some but no outright attacks.

[Racehorse]

. . . he will either renounce the liberal bullshit and come back into the fold or he will not get elected.

Unless he wants to be a one term President, he pretty has to do a lot of that, doesn't he?

[Racehorse]

Should be:

Unless he wants to be a one term President, he pretty much has to do a lot of that, doesn't he?

[cripplecreek]

The GOP could change their Mascot to the Taco Bell Chihuahua. A shivering party lapdog seems pretty appropriate these days.

[David Isaac]

I do not believe I would trust him even if he did renounce his liberal past.

[sweet_diane]

"John McCain is going to lose anyway so I’ll be writing a name in. Cowardly conservatives can vote as they wish but I’m not going to push the GOP leftward ever again."

I've come to realize I agree with you 110% as well as agreeing with the other side of the coin which is to vote McCain to keep Clinton/Obama out.

Tancredo, Hunter, Thompson and Romney are out..gone, no longer in the race. Ok..so we have Huckabee and McCain left (maybe Keyes too, not sure). IMHO, we don't really know what we'd get with Huckabee, yet I do think we have pretty clear idea of what we'll get with McCain and will know where to be more vocal and 'encourage' him.

My bottom line is I want Hillary to lose. It's personal for me! I simply cannot stand the thought of that pompous, arrogant, racist, pandering b word claiming the Oval Office!

sorry for the long post. I feel like I'm having my own Howard Dean loss of sanity moment. aarrrggghhhhh! lol

[alicewonders]

Agreed. At this point, he will pretty much say ANYTHING to get elected. The enemy who stabs you in the back is much more dangerous than the enemy that attacks you face to face.

My parents taught me to be aware that evil will not always come to you with a scary face, sometimes evil will put on a pretty face to fool you.

Think of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The apple was the prettiest and most tempting fruit in the garden. Please seriously think about this folks, what damage is being inflicted to our nation right now. It seems conservatives are the only ones that can see the evil behind the mask.

[unsycophant]

Hard core *religious* right, as has been documented for years now by the non/hardcore right.

They’ve been given way too much leeway and authority inside the GOP for too many years because people like DeLay supported them and pandered to their intolerant narrow mindedness.

Look where it got him, and them.

[TexasCajun]

Pete Olson For Congress

[jospehm20]

McCain has not been acting much like a Republican, so does it still apply?

[TexasCajun]

[TexasCajun]

Support Pete Olson to take back District 22 From Nick Lampson (D)

[marlon]

I have never been a take my ball and go home guy if a candidate doesn't support 100% of my beliefs. With that said I think McCain only supports the WOT and just about everytihng else he's in moonbat land on. It certainly is the most difficult choice I've had to make on an election since I've been voting, not about whom to vote for but whether or not I should just sit home.

I live in CT so there are no republicans to vote for down ticket, well except for Chris Shays and he aint much of a Republican and besides I think his number is finally up. He's going to be defeated and it will make it a clean slate, the entire New England states, CT, MA, ME, NH, RI,VT will not have a single Republican in the House of Representatives. How truly pathetic, and this is what our moderates have brought us, weak, pantywaist, comprimising twits. And as soon as the viscous left can run a candidate to replace them, as they will have managed to do in all 6 New England states they will throw the useful idiots out the door.

So, I think the winds of change are against us and I beleive Obama will be our next President. He will also likely get a veto proof majority and with his firm set socialist agenda and the strength and experience of the Kenendy, Reid, Pelosi, Rangel, Schummer, Boxer, Durbin, Waxmman, Watters, etc., crowd behind him we will have an additonal 20 million 'democrats" in the blink of an eye, universal healthcare (well universal anyway) capitulation in the WOT and a fast declinning military capability, abortion provided on demand paid for with our ever increasing tax dollars, global warming as the new state religion, state control over our children from age 2 on, and on and on and on.

So, in the end, I suppose I will begrudginly go the polls for McCain for the sake of my own concience and who knows maybe we'll get lucky and he will win and our slide to oblivion will not move quite as quickly under his watch as it surely will under Obama or hillary's, giving us a couple of years to gather a slight majority (if there are that many left) of Americans who still value freedom, liberty and individualism.

[Eagle Eye]

Hillary for 4 or McCain for 8?

McCain will get passed bills that hillary can’t.

You’re right, what should happen probably won’t.

I’ve never been a party faithful and can’t understand those who put party over all.

But there here, on this forum and on this thread.

[FlashBack]

I must agree with your post, this election will be my toughest voting position yet...McCain or stay home.
I cannot see myself voting for someone who’s beliefs are pro-global warming, anti-life, pro-illegals, anti-tax, anti-interrogation, anti-Gitmo....and that includes the candidate with an “R” behind his name!?!?
If I do pull the lever for Juan it’s because I don’t think he’ll leave us as vulnerable to the Islamofacists as much as the Dims would.
Personally I believe the whole country’s goinge from red/white/and blue to totally screwed after ‘08

[sweet_diane]

"If I do pull the lever for Juan it’s because I don’t think he’ll leave us as vulnerable to the Islamofacists as much as the Dims would."

Sad that its come to this, yet you make a good point.

I appreciate the input from you and marlon.

[Cacique]

[farmer18th]

McCain is not a Republican. You simply have to have some rationale for saying you "never speak ill." If Barbara Streisand joined the party? Paula Poundstone? If Karl Marx joined the party?

I mean if you want a fantasy life, think about Thelma Hayek, but don't indulge the notion that John McCain is a Republican.

[FastCoyote]

“The GOP could change their Mascot to the Taco Bell Chihuahua. A shivering party lapdog seems pretty appropriate these days.”

That is a great image.
