John McCain is the luckiest Presidential candidate,he can seem move to the right and Republicans will jump on board,but if obama or hilliary try it,all hell will break loose.

A great start would be to denounce “The race” and announce plans to double-up construction of the border fence.

Q: How can you tell MacCain is lying?

A: His lips are moving.

If he lies about one thing, only a fool would believe he won’t lie about others.

It doesn’t seem to make a difference to folks if he’s lying or not.

I used to think it was that they simply prefered McCain(R) to McCain(D).

Now it’s evident they’ll merely settle for ScrewUsOverUnMercifully(R) vs ScrewUsOverUnMercifully(D).

Who cares if the nation goes down as long as there is an (R) at the helm, it will be bliss.

“The question is, what is his definition of “conservative?”

Lindsay Graham?

“The Republican presidential candidate said he would use John Roberts and ­Samuel Alito, who were appointed to the Supreme Court by President George W. Bush, as his “model” when choosing nominees”

What did mclame say, something about someone wearing their Conservatism on their sleeve?

I believe what mclame says just as much as I would believe a serial killer telling me “I won’t hurt you if you don’t scream”.

Hey Juan, thats nice...but what about sealing the border from illegal aliens and stop trying to stomp out the 2nd Amendment for starters?

He's never been very fond of the First Amendment either.

“John McCain promised on Tuesday to nominate conservative judges to the Supreme Court and for other judicial vacancies...”

And he’ll bend like a pretzel the second that Sen. Kennedy or Schumer say boo. If Sen. McCain is elected, what we’ll ultimately end up with are Justices to the left of David Souter.

Why Senator McCain’s promises have any credibility at all given his record is beyond me.

The Right is unafraid. The RINOs and Moderates however, need to change their shorts.

[...] seeking to quash doubts among some Republicans about his conservative credentials.

His conservative credentials are not in doubt, they are not in evidence.

Go sit on your porch, McCain. You'll get no vote from me.

I mail in the empty envelope with “Build the Fence” printed on both sides. I believe they are getting a lot of those.

The Constitution Party are a bunch of extremist anti-American nutjobs who want to surrender the world to al qaeda.

That may be a choice in another ten years.
Maybe.
