Support among Conservatives? Read my lips! This (p)arty has lost their collective soul. Nationally we spend money so fast that it would embarrass a drunken sailor back from a twelve month tour of duty. Hooray for Ws tax cuts and Iraq policy, but not much else. McVain has been the greatest detriment to my freedom of speech since the Alien and Sedition Act. The two POWs I know wont even mention his name. He wants to be President to prove to his father and grandfather that he didnt need to become an Admiral. I will either ask for a subsidy for a nose job or deduct the medical expense when I vote for McPain in November. Until then Huckabee is my vote in the Texas primary. Just out of spite. And here in the State of Texas, a big-haired, 39% vote Governor tries to tell Huckabee, two times, to take a hike. The same governor whos Department of Transportation cant find ONE BILLION ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. Solution, make every public highway a toll way and give it to a foreign corporation. A sycophantic moth circling the candle's flame, soon to have his wings singed. A (r)epublican House and Senate who passed a new Franchise Tax cloaking a personal income tax, that will raise taxes when spending cuts were the solution, but they will take our money, spend it in larger budgets, and complain why job growth has gone away. A Lieutenant Governor who kills a voter ID bill because his good Democrat friend wasnt on the floor for the vote, who goes to fundraisers for Democrat Senators re-election. A Speaker of the House who forms three PACs to funnel money to sympathetic Democrat State Representatives who supported him for Speaker. (r)epublicans all. We have become what we hated, as worthless as a penny waiting for change. My forty years of work in the trenches has gone for naught and now I am being buried by my fellow (r)epublicans" with the dirt I dug in this wretched trench. Vote Huckabee. Vote Paul. Send them a message or remain a gutless wonder!!!!

When Obama comes to take your money, and the Iranians bring a nuke to NYC, what will you do then?
This can become reality if the Obama-nation takes over.

An endorsement from another Pres. candidate that promised No New Taxes...
I don’t care if God Almighty himself is endorsing McCain, I won’t be voting for him.

I think that Obama as President would radically increase the possibility that Islamic militants gain access to nuclear weapons. If they get them, they will use them.

Some people don’t realize we’re in a war and would allow someone who will get us defeated to take over, because they don’t like everything about the other guy who would actually fight the war.

Remind George W. Bush and Johnny McCain that they shouldn't have been so pro-illegal immigrant/pro-amnesty and been a little more focused on *securing our damn borders*!

GHWB...doesn't he trot around the globe with his good buddy bill clinton?
The terms: "demoplicans" and "republicrats" used to be kind of a running joke (the best humor being couched in truth), but I ain't laughing these days.

LOL....... I don’t care WHO endorses John McCain... I just can’t bring myself to vote for him... IN FACT.. the only way to shift the GOP back to the right is to vote FOR Hillary or Obama.. giving them a lopsided “victory” will in essence make that victory illegitimate.... and will allow the conservatives in congress to ACTIVELY and AGGRESSIVELY oppose everything he/she tries to do.... putting John McCain in the WhiteHouse will DESTROY the 2 party system, and force the conservatives in congress to either support his liberal agenda or create a civil war.. which will also destroy the party... I say this.. if John McCain is our nomminee we try again in 2012.. PERIOD

Chalk up another Texas vote for Huck here. I won’t vote for McSquelch(free speech) in the primary, but will in the general. I plan to ask my friends and family to also vote against McCain in the primary.

We faced down the Soviet nuclear threat which potentially was far more dangerous than anything jihad can create. I’m flat out disgusted with the freaks here whose think the nation is going to end if a democrat is elected. They are strategically nearsighted.

don’t forget that the CONGRESS is EQUAL to the President.. 99% of the garbage that the HildaBeast or Obama speak of will never pass if we put more conservatives in CONGRESS... then we can hit the reset button in 2012.. and get behind a real conservative like Duncan Hunter...
