This reads like a praise piece compared to what will come regarding Mac. The man has more skeletons in his closest than Eve with 12 faces.

The question all should be asking is how did a left wing liberal like Mac become the republican front runner in the first place?

Take your pick, either Hillary or Obama will kick this snarly faced lying bastard’s ass in the major. With this in mind, is it fair to question how and why did this occur?

Bingo! I don’t get it at all. I look at his rise as comprised of several elements. First, the media has certainly fanned the McCain wisp of smoke into quite the inferno. His run past the field is quite surprising. It is something that rings so untrue, so behind-closed-doors. Second, the desperation angle is once again forcefully in play (and, these are, of course, desperate times). Our nation is at THE CROSSROADS. I don’t think that should be taken as being spoken figuratively in any way. We are just about ready to drown (in illegals), starve (through econmic crises and taxation, and perish (as we stand alone against terror.) A false move this way or that could require the ultimate in payment for our nation. But acting on emotions (desperation) is not the way to go (in just about anything in life.) And, again, there is something behind this that rings false. I don’t know—the sense one gets of being manipulated (advertisers often try to manipulate feelings when they want potential buyers to act.) Finally, what exactly has prompted the shift to moderation in the Republican party? And what does it mean that Republicans are willing to take such a risk at such a perilous time in our nation’s history?

McCain may well stay the course in Iraq, but he indicates he is willing to redefine the very homeland our troops are heroically defending. Is this what we want? Is it really?

Is it?

Really?

Fred Thompson stayed in the race through South Carolina—even though by that time he had no chance or intention of winning—to help his old buddy McCain. Then the media, including ostensibly conservative outlets, insisted on trying to sell baby-killer Mitt Romney as the only legitimate alternative to McCain, even though Romney has roughly the same amount of charisma as a garden yam.
