The competition for anti-John McCain Web sites is so stiff that those looking to register new ones say the best names have already been snatched up. "Virtually every one we thought of was taken," said Robert Shoemaker, who said his site RepublicansAgainstMaverickMcCain.com will go active this week. "The first one we wanted to do was Republicans Against McCain just short and sweet. That wasn't available, and we worked all the way around different labels we could use, none of them were available." In the end Mr. Shoemaker, who held signs at last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference protesting Mr. McCain's...

A National Coalition to stop John McCain has been formed Spread the word far and wide to stop the heresy of his nomination. McCain? No! It is past time for Republican conservatives to start "brush fires" and stage a "tea party." With Sen. John McCain's unanticipated and rapid ascent to "presumptive GOP Presidential Nominee," the liberal (left) wing of the Republican Party is positioned to seize control of the party and its conservative soul. This cannot be allowed. McCain was able to move within striking distance of the nomination with only about 35 percent of the Republican vote. This anomaly...

This speech is a verbatim transcript of "The Speech" given as a portion of a pre-recorded, nationwide televised program sponsored by Goldwater-Miller on behalf of Barry Goldwater, Republican candidate for the presidency whom Ronald Reagan actively supported. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks. I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I...

Well I am absolutely stunned. After wondering for months about how serious Romney was on tackling illegal immigration and the strange endorsement of Tom Tancredo after dropping out of the race, Romney has issued the coup de grace. Mitt Romney has appointed Immigration Warrior Kris Kobach to his advisory staff. Who is Kris Kobach? Well you may remember Kris as the lead attorney in defending Hazleton, Pennsylvania's Illegal Immigration Relief Act. Kris has been a leader in the fight against illegal immigration in this country and his addition to the Romney team shows that he is deadly serious about ending...

McCain's love of amnesty will be a key issue. He supported amnesty in 2003 by name, proposed it in 2006 and 2007 without calling it amnesty, and says that anyone who says that he ever supported amnesty is a liar. He has insulted Americans who advocate border security and has cursed at the thought of building a border fence. The presence of Juan Hernandez in the background of the McCain campaign tells us that John McCain is as weak on border security now as he ever was. Dr. Juan Hernandez, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, and past...

The Rasmussen and Mason-Dixon numbers show a Romney trend, one no doubt assisted by the Fred-heads moving towards Romney. There is still tremendous volatility in the electorate, and conservative voters wishing to end the attempt by MSM to jam down McCain's nomination on an unwilling party could continue to move to Romney to block that result.
