Good speech.


He certainly needed to begin to repair his relationship with the rank and file conservative base.

And one key way to do it was to remind them of what the opposition intends to do should they win in November.

Hopefully that should provide enough clarity.

Yeah, too bad it is completely at odds with his record.

If McCain was smart, he would go back to the Senate and get in a big battle with the Dems by pushing a cap on spending like the 1995 “Pay as you go rules” or for a fully funded border fence bill. Do something to show Conservatives he really means what he is saying.

Right now Conservatives mistrust McCain cause they figure he is more Democrat then Conservative. He could do a lot to assuage that worry by picking some serious fights in the Senate while Hillary/Obama are still slugging it out.

Good speech.

So why did he boycott last year's convention?

Good speech.

Twenty minutes of verbal sound waves from an man seeking favor from an angry crowd (CPAC) does little to boost my trust.

There's no behavior I despise worst among conservatives than playing class-warfare anti-wealth business-is-evil card .... something McCain has been doing the past seven years.

The second behavior I despise is someone who disparages and insults faithful voters (practicing Christians) for simply stating their morals and beliefs.

McCain is guilty of violating BOTH of those things.

His personality was on its best behavior today. He has been krass and juvenile the past 10 years.

Lastly, I believe McCain will become more and more flustered as the lib-media-Obama-loving Dems start launching attacks..... McCain could easily explode, and THEN where will the GOP be?

Up the creek without a candidate.

Only time will tell.

Good speech.

He said the right things. If he selects the right running mate, I may concede and vote for him.

McAzatlan is pro LaRaza has spoken at their convention in the past, hates the constitution, spits on our constitution and thinks nothing of stabbing conservatives in the back. McAzatlan is ten times worse than any liberal.

Good speech.

Good enough I suppose. But really, what else could he say?

Good speech. Agreed. The speech writer knew exactly what I wanted to hear.
