Boos were LOUD when he mentioned immigration reform. He acknowledged that his position on that is obviously still a sore subject for conservatives.

Then quickly moves to praising Huckabee.

Boos.

His gang was very unsuccessful at having those Huckabee boos drowned out!

How anyone there is keeping a straight face is beyond me. Did Johnny threaten to have anyone who laughed keelhauled or something?

Gave that snide smile of his.

I don't recall if he continued with "my good friends" /sar

McCain said he will veto every single bill that has an earmark in it.

He is now saying he supports the Bush tax cuts...the same ones he voted against.

Also wants the unconstitutional line item veto.

The RNC is being run by these types. Over the years they set the rules to allow this. If we can't rid the party of RINOs and change the nomination process, it's over for conservatives in the GOP.

McCain and Soros have been working together at opening our primaries to leftists for eight years. This is the payoff.

Yeah, like I’m going to believe he’s going to enforce the border first. BTW, if the phrase ‘my friend’ is the drinking game, I’d be drunk already at work.

LOL. Well, I'd have to be snockered to believe this guy.

McCain's new campaign stratagem: Free booze for everybody!
