Yesterday, I caught up with Mitt Romney supporter Bay Buchanan. Buchanan talked with me via phone from Florida, where she had just attended a John McCain rally (she gets a better feel for the race when she sees what the enemy is up to).
As you might imagine, this outspoken conservative had a lot to say about Sen. McCain:
"We can't trust who he's going to put on the court," she says of McCain. When I ask Buchanan if McCain is a real conservative, she replies with the words one conservative reserves for another when talking about a 'squishy' Republican: "He's not one of us." So what about the recent controversy over "timetables"? According to Buchanan, at the last debate, McCain was especially hurt by Tim Russert's question regarding McCain's admission that he didn't know as much about economics as he would like to. So why did McCain resurrect the months-old issue of timetables? Simple: "He had to change the topic," Buchanan says.
When I asked her about Romney's conservative credentials, she assures me: "He's one of us." And on the Life issue, this long-time pro-Life activist says of Romney: "He's not only solid on life, he's a real convert."
She also adds this interesting endorsement of Romney:
"When it comes to immigration, he's as solid as Tom Tancredo." Putting philosophy aside, and focusing on the horse race aspect of the campaign, Buchanan believes momentum is moving toward Mitt Romney, and that Romney is picking up most of the Fred Thompson supporters.
She also believes the endorsements McCain has received, such as Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Sam Brownback, Sen. Mel Martinez, and Gov. Charlie Crist, have more to do with the establishment mentality than with ideology. She reminds me: "There's a good 'ol boy attitude in the Senate." She also notes that Mitt Romney is running against Washington, and that probably bothers some of the people who are currently serving in Washington.
McInsane lied about Romney’s position on trop withdrawal, plaing and simple.
How about that senator saying McInsane was mentally unbalanced to be President, that should send shivers down our spines if he were to beat Mitt.
Mitt will say anything to win. When exactly did he become a Conservative Pro-Life, tough on immigration, an Iraq hawk, a fiscal conservative? References to him were as the Republican Governor of Mass but I never heard him described as the conservative Gov of Mass. Wonder why?
I must confess that I really don’t care what Bay Buchanan thinks.
She is the brother of the Reform Party candidate for president who is not a member of the Republican Party. Further, her brother is not a conservative. As the Reform Party candidate, he dropped is position on abortion and accepted the Reform Party’s position. He is against free trade. He is an isolationist against the Gulf War in 1990 and has been against the current war in Iraq. He is not friend of Israel.
Her claim to fame is her brother and he is not someone I respect.
Unlike the rest of the boobs that are in the hunt.
it’s a matter of the degree of their insincerity and Mitt is tops.
I was a Fred Head, but he’s gone now. Who do you suggest I go with? I would rather vote for Her Thighness, the HildeBeast, than John McCain. At least when she screwed us over it would be a democrat and not a Republican.
I am so tired of these people lecturing me on “fiscal conservatism” when every one of them are getting a government check.
Hickabee, McLame and Julie-Annie will get a government welfare pension with the Rolls-Royce health benefits.
And the whole bunch is telling us we should pay for public housing and other goodies for illegal immigrants because they do the jobs we won’t.
Then, on top of all this, they say:
They have some government program to create jobs!
They have some government program to bail out bad mortgage lenders!
Lyin’ sacks of shiite.
(All the while, Romney is the only one of them not getting a government check!)
If he wins the nomination, the rats will portray him as a lunatic who wants to keep troops in Iraq for one hundred years or more.
I must say I was shocked when I saw Bay on TV the other day. As for Republican face-lifts hers and Tony Blankleys are by far the worst.
At least it would be a heterosexual rape!
From an email I received:
Does McCain agree with this? Has he offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place in a future McCain Administration? That’s not a rhetorical question.” http://welcome-vote-2008.blogspot.com/2007/11/fiestas-mccain.html

A Talk With Mexico’s Migration Chief Juan Hernández emerges as the architect of new Mexico-U.S. relations
Now, this SHOULD be the end of McCain’s campaign. HERE’S YOUR SMOKING GUN, AMERICA. HERE’S YOUR NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Here’s your ‘WAR HERO”, who teamed up with Ted Kennedy to shove amnesty down America’s throats, who is STILL THE OPEN BORDERS PHONY WE’VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT. Is THIS what you want, America? Is THIS what you want, American veterans and Republican Kool-Aid drinkers. JOHN MCCAIN IS A DISGRACE. JOHN MCCAIN SHOULD QUIT NOW!

“Actually, this is more like transnationalism. A reader alerted me to the fact that McCain’s “Hispanic Outreach Director” is the same guy who held that job for Mexico’s President Vicente Fox! U.S.-born dual citizen Juan Hernandez was in Fox’s cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad and is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’”
Sorry, Bay, for if Romney wins the nomination, he will abandon his conservative stances for centrist ones with such speed that it will make your head spin.
McInsane will give us 8 more years of Clinton AND Destroy the republican Party.
LOL ... If that works for you, who am I to disagree?
“...Her claim to fame is her brother...”
She signed my checks when I worked for the Reagan campaign in 1980. Later she signed dollar bills as the Tressurer of the United States.
I already found McCain creepy in 2000. He has gotten worse. His amnesty stand is outrageous, a total sellout of his country. He even voted against barring terrorists from entry to this country. That is insane or worse. He reminds me of the Manchurian Candidate. His mental and physical health is also something to be considered.
Well that part is still in question.
Or lackthereof....
Yes, I should have added that. It is no joke - McCain is not quite normal.
