Thinking about sending McCain some money?
Don’t you DARE!
What’s going on is the same since Iowa. Romney is trying to buy the election. He’s up on every station of any consequence in FL multiple times. It’s disgusting.
No money from me.
Soon it will be the guy with the record showing he’s a gun grabbing, pro-abortion, big government, open borders - Mitt - vs the advocate of limited government, Ron Paul.
Mitt’s recent record on the military? To say in a debate, he’d have to check with his lawyers.
Ron’s approach? The constitutional one. Congress must declare war.
You decide.
I’d be happier if he made a dash for the exit.
Suggest that anyone read the following list before donating to McCain.
McCain:
— adamantly against the Bush tax cuts (he now says that it was b/c there were not enough spending cuts, but when he opposed them, he took the Dem class warfare lie that it was “tax cuts for the rich”) (former Senator Santorum said that McC was “leading the charge” against the Bush tax cuts),
— led the fight in favor of amnesty for illegals (McCain-Kennedy),
— leader in evading the first amendment & getting the first substantial restrictions on political speech in U.S. history (McCain-Feingold, aka, the Incumbent Protection Act),
— ignoring the second amendment, McC sponsored the McCain/Lieberman gun show bill, which would have given the federal government the administrative power to prohibit all gun shows, and to register everyone who attends a gun show per http://www.trugop.org/Editorials/2ndAmendment.htm,
— sponsored the McCain/Lieberman Cap and Trade System to Reduce Greenhouse Gases, which would hurt consumers, drive up business costs, and drive business to China and undeveloped countries that don’t restrict carbon dioxide emissions (McC, willing to pay any price to fight GoreBull Warming, foolishly believes that such regulations create “green” jobs, in total ignorance of the famous Broken Window Fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window),
— a key RINO in the Gang of Fourteen, thus undercutting GOP fight against Dem improper filibusters of conservative judicial nominees,
— promises to close GITMO the first day that he is president so that he can move the world’s worst captured terrorists to the U.S., possibly to a neighborhood near you,
— is against waterboarding of even the most vicious terrorists, even when interrogation experts believe it is necessary or advisable to get info in order to save innocent American lives, and despite the fact that it is not torture, it is done routinely on some U.S. military during training, it has reportedly only been used 2 or 3 times against terrorists, and McC’s critique plays into leftist smears against the U.S. for torture,
— using the language of the socialist left, he now attacks the pharmaceutical industry, one of the crown jewels of the U.S. economy, and is trying to force drug re-importation (those vicious people in big pharma, who actually want to make a profit by helping cure people and alleviate pain, were the “big bad guys” per McC),
— is against drilling in ANWAR, McC comparing ANWAR to the Grand Canyon (ANWAR is “what hell would look like if it froze over” per the IBD) ,
— wants an economic stimulus bill, but incredibly says that it should be “paid for” by spending cuts in total ignorance of the theory behind any stimulus which is to increase govt spending and borrowing, thus to increase economic activity (”paying for” a gov stimulus bill negates the purpose, it means that it is no longer a stimulus),
— curries favor with his friends in the liberal media, even as they trash conservatives in McC’s own party, and
— toyed with the idea of accepting the VP nomination of his good friend, John Kerry (Kennedy, Feingold, Lieberman, Kerry, all liberal Dems, see any pattern?).
I probably left something out, but that will have to do.
Considering this atrocious record, no conservative should support McC in the primary.
McC is a true American hero for his war service. He was been strong and steady relative to Iraq and the surge. He should be given a medal & sent home to a rocking chair. Or he could be cast in a remake of GRUMPY OLD MEN, along with Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and Robert Byrd.
McC is not the right person to lead the country.
John McVain has seven - 7 - fundraisers scheduled in the weak leading up to Florida’s primary. If he wants to compete with Romney, who is able to spend tens of millions of dollars on his own campaign, he has to raise a lot.
Although fundraising is nice and all, McVain’s economic woes mean that he can spend less on actual, you know, campaigning.
Romney is leading in the latest Rasmussen poll.
Mc Vain needs money. The press can give McVain all the positive media coverage they want, but if Romney is willing to spend his hard earned money on his campaign, well, it’ll be difficult for McVain to win.
And then there’s also Giuliani who’s focusing completely on Florida. Imagine this: Giuliani or Romney in any order place first or second in Florida.
What’ll happen then? McVain will have fundraised his butt off, but it’s all wasted money. Will that encourage people to donate again?
This guy's got to be kidding. Bob Dole had "charisma?"
Wonder where he had it hidden?
If McCain is Bob Dole without all that Dole charisma, then I can cut back on my Sominex order, can't I?
He does not get my vote or my money.
If he is the party nominee. God help us!
>> but the Arizona maverick has no grassroots fund-raising effort like ... Huckabee’s, <<
WTF? Since when did Huckabee have ANY money?
I won’t give McCain a dime.
McCain-Feingold attack on the 1st Amendment, Illegal Immigration Amnesty, against the Bush tax cuts, etc, etc, etc. The man is consistently WRONG on a host of critical issues to America.
Let him hit up his rich father-in-law. He has probably been mooching off him all his life.
I will send him a “virtural” donation.
Did Hugh Hewitt get married to Mitt in a beautiful ceremony in Massachusetts or something? This guy is quite the Romney rumpswab.
It would fit right in with his efforts to destroy the Conservative movement and elect a communist Democrat.
Spin. At this point McCain is the only campaign raising a significant amount of money. I could turn the tables on Hewitt. If voters wanted Mitt Romney he wouldn’t need to self-fund.
