You seem to forget as a die hard REPUBLICAN!that McCain stands for just about everything that Bush does militarilly and economically. He agrees that right away to save or help the people he is so for is willing to cut Medicare just like Bush.His past history just like Bushes ethics are to be desired!Even though I don’t like Ann Colter she still has made some very good points and I’ll definitely vote for Hillary. And if youall are smart you’ll do the same. Barac might make a good Prez. one of these days but not now!! Huckabee is your best bet for the future of the people.

I am a Republican. I have always been a Republican. I have donated a considerable amount of time and money to the Republican Party. However, I will not now or ever vote for John McCain. Some of you people are to soon to forget McCain’s “Affair” with the Democratic Party. His pandering(we call it Pimping in SE Bama) with his DC Liberals around the beltway cost many votes and support for the party. McCain is a Democrat in a Republican suit. If John McCain gets the Nomination for the Republican Party, I shall vote for a Democrat. At least they do not operate covertly!

Seriously, McCain? Well, then again, I guess some people might enjoy the 100-year American military presence in Iraq that McCain suggests. He also supports amnesty for illegal aliens, definitely NOT a true conservative ideal. Vote Republican. Vote Classical Conservative. Vote Ron Paul 2008.

It has come to the attention of the public that Bush lied 935 times to sell the Iraq war/occupation. http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/74715/
McCain supports the war/occupation, which means he supports the lying that got our troops there and are keeping our troops there.

I don’t classify myself as either a Republican or a Democrat. I’m more of an independent constitutionalist. I took an oath more than once to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” as has every member of Congress and our presidents. I still stand by that oath, but it seems that many members of Congress, and even President Bush, think of the US Constitution as just a piece of paper from our past history which is to be circumvented or ignored when convenient. Ron Paul is the rare exception, and for that reason I support him above all other candidates.

We often see some Republicans referred to as “RINO”s. To my way of thinking the Republican Party, for the most part, has abandoned the principles which at one time distinguished it from the Democratic Party, and which brought about the “Republican Revolution” several years ago which made it the majority party in Congress. Thus, I think the party itself now deserves the “RINO” label.

As our former Governor GCW, said, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two major parties. That is even truer today than it was at the time he said it.

Old Cloverdale,

Good idea. McCain is a badass, pure and simple. Some of his actions in the Senate do warrant serious consideration of his “conservative” credentials. But who cares? Is that label seriously worth fighting for? The criticism he receives from the Republican power structure, such as in S.C., are likely signs that he’s a good choice for the people.

His devotion and love of country are unparalleled in this election. He is a good man. I agree, if I vote Republican, I’ll vote for McCain.

Don’t forget that McCain voted to allow stem cell research on embroys. Too liberal for me.

McCain is a liberal I will not vote for him. If he is in the race with either HRC or BHO there will be no need to vote as they are all the same.
