Equating McCain with the greatest President of the 20th century is obscene.

Couldn't have said it better.

McCain lost me when he started his ‘class envy/class warfare’ tax preferences several years ago.

Hes done allot better per dollar than Romney...

Not really a fair comparison. McCain has been selling his soul for so long to his friends in the media that he didn't really have to spend as much money to influence the beltway. I'm not fan of Romney, but at least he had to make it where you can't just lay a tax on the peasants to raise more revenue. Talking about McCain--a career civil service boob-as fiscally "competent," is something like taking diet advice from Rosy O'Donnel.

Before my more conservative friends start leaping from buildings over Senator John McCain’s presidential primary victories....

Why do they so feel the need to say things like this? I guess it's just part of the effort to paint those who don't agree with them as hysterical children.

It's like accusing all those who did not favor making illegals legal and giving them a big, fat goody bag to boot of wanting to "deport them all." It's a false charge, but it suits their storyline.

McCain is NEVER going to turn into Reagan. Not even a little bit kinda like sort of. In fact, the only connections that John McCain had with Barry Goldwater is that at one time or another, both had served in the military, and both had served in the Senate as representatives of Arizona, Goldwater representing the state a LOT more than McCain ever has.

Still not convinced of McCain’s “bono fides”.

McCain has assemble an awesome economic team, but you are going to get the “Juan Hernandez” photo posted in about 10 seconds.

The day McCain owns up to how much a TAX increase it has been for his invited illegal guests to come work for his lobbyist then he might gain a bit of credibility about fiscal discipline. Until then he is a false prophet.

This is a joke! McCain is planning raise through his carbon cap and trade scheme and impose very intrusive regulations on industry and private citizens.

Get real!

“McCain Could Become the Reagan of Fiscal Discipline”

Fiscal Discipline and the war in Iraq are the only two areas that I trust this cretin, and I’m not real big on the war so when he talked about being there for 100 years I wasn’t exactly jumping for joy.

I have my problems with McCain, but his record on spending is not one of them.

I guess you have links to all the filibusters he has lead against the excess federal budgets of the last few years. :^)

He’s got George Allen Jr and Fred Thompson behind him now. I am not too surprised about Fred, but when George Allen Jr endorsed him, I was surprised.

If Hilabama is elected then the country will be flooded and not only that they will get ID cards enabling to commit voter fraud.

I hope McCain has learned his lesson and if elected I hope the Senate stays solid. It was the Conservatives in the Senate that held their ground. Remember, if Conservatives stay home, we may lose 6-8 senate seats which would make it cloture proof.

“but you are going to get the “Juan Hernandez” photo posted in about 10 seconds.”

No one forced him to hire a man that literally admits that he puts Mexico first.

Before my more conservative friends start leaping from buildings over Senator John McCain’s presidential primary victories, let me try to coax them back in from the ledge.

I'm not the one leaping off the building, Deroy, YOU are. Let's try another analogy, shall we? The SS Republicana is going down, the water is lapping at the rails, and you and your ilk are rearranging the deck chairs.

Even the Drive-bys noticed he didn’t mention MMGW and Embryonic stem cell research in his speech. He’s a damnable liar and thief.

“Remember, if Conservatives stay home, we may lose 6-8 senate seats which would make it cloture proof.”

So maybe a McAmnesty nomination wasn’t a great idea?

Just this morning I saw a pundit on FOX saying that the extremists need to get over their hatred of illegal immigrant children and back McCain. The sad thing is that I don’t know if he was a democrat or a republican.

These days I’m having a lot of trouble believing that the GOP even wants to wants to win this race. What kind of moronic party leadership sits back and allows the base to be repeatedly insulted and never even suggests that the insulters tone it down?

Good people may differ, but when people claim that McCain is a Manchurian Candidate or sent to run in the primary for the Clintons, or that McCain leaked classified information without any credible proof, that’s crazy.
