How the hell did we nominate this guy?

WE didn't. The idiots in Iowa and New Hampshire gave him the momentum and the media kept pimping him over REAL conservative candidates like Fred Thompson. For the record, I live in NH and voted for Fred. The way the state GOP bad-mouthed Thompson was nothing less than shameful.

Isn't it amazing, though, how in mid-2007, McCain's campaign was all but dead, primarily because of the illegal immigration issue, yet as soon as he flip-flops on his stance (at least publicly) his poll numbers go up? We are not led by the best and brightest anymore. And the voters got the wool pulled over their eyes.

Unfortunately, no REAL conservatives were viable in 2008. Duncan Hunter was unknown outside of San Diego County, Calif., and Fred Thompson clearly had no enthusiasm.

I saw this train wreck coming two years ago when George Allen went down in flames.
