Yeah, she has a point above, but she ignores the fact that most Republicans didn’t fall into line on Harriet Miers . . . the immigration bill. Note that it was defeated, largely by Republicans not going along with their president.

And she ignores the one issue on which McCain has shined–the War on Terror.

The woman needs put her petty animosities aside and her thirst for media attention and start making serious arguments.

She grates ever more with each passing day. Much as does Ms. Hillary.

ThatGayConservative,

The perfect answer to your retort to Tomare Utsu Zo (#3) was given by Ann Coulter:

At least under President Hillary, Republicans in Congress would know that they’re supposed to fight back. When President McCain proposes the same ideas — tax hikes, liberal judges and Social Security for illegals — Republicans in Congress will support “our” president — just as they supported, if only briefly, Bush’s great ideas on amnesty and Harriet Miers.

You need little flags like that for Republicans since, as we know from the recent unpleasantness in Florida, Republicans are unalterably stupid.

Part of me would like to see Hillary lose in the primaries, but it looks like Obama may win. Then we have a real problem on our hands. He is coming across as new, a unifier, a person of change. The fact that there is no substance behind all that rhetoric is irrelevant.

In office barely a year, Governor Charlie Crist tonight turned his back on the people of Florida by endorsing the one major Presidential candidate who does NOT support the national catastrophic insurance fund.

“This is a slap in the face to every Floridian. Of all the candidates in the race, Charlie Crist picks the one who ridicules the proposed national catastrophic fund that would reduce insurance rates for all Floridians,” Florida Democratic Party Mark Bubriski said. “So much for being the ‘People’s Governor.’”

Just yesterday, in an interview with “National Journal On Air,” Crist said, “In our case, the audience is Florida and Floridians, and they care deeply about, you know, being protected. The national catastrophic plan is important to the future safety of my fellow Floridians. So they care a great deal about that.”

Thanks for nothing, Charlie.

I wish there was someplace I could bet on that stuff. When Crist endorsed McCain, I should have put $100 on Perry doing the same.

Now that Rudy, my governor (Perry of TX), Arnold and other RINOs have endorsed McCain, I will definitely vote for Romney on March 4.

You are judged by the company you keep. And what’s at stake here is fiscal conservatism, SCOTUS/Circuit Court/Federal bench appointments, the WOT and personal freedoms. McCain’s batting average on these is .000 at best.

The base needs to wake up and not experience a repeat of 1976. Trust me – I remember that debacle. And we sure as hell don’t need B. Hussein Obama or Madame Voldemort in the WH for 4 years to add to the damage.

Sure, if it comes down to McCain vs a Dhimmicrat, I will hold my nose and vote GOP. But I pray it doesn’t come down to that. Because either way we’re losers – and better to deal with the devil we know.

Regards,
Peter H.

As I watched McCain and Governor Romney go at it during the debate at the Reagan Library I was struck by the huge gap that separates McCain — whose contempt for his fellow humans is patently obvious — and my dad, Ronald Reagan, who had nothing but the deepest affection and respect for the American people…

I don’t like the way he treats people. You get the impression that he thinks everybody is beneath him. He seems to be saying, “I was a war hero, and you had damn well better treat me as your superior.”

Michael Reagan on John McCain.

If he wins in November, McCain, at 72, would be the oldest to enter the presidency – and, unlike Ronald Reagan, he will look it.

That alone should disqualify McCain. Not that we should ever have a formal age limit, but the U.S. Presidency is the world’s most stressful job, ever. Voters know this and will instinctively shy away from McCain in November.

Libertarians were furious that the McCain-Feingold campaign-financing law impinged on unfettered political expression.

That’s a belittling, insulting understatement. Hanson should have said:

Americans were furious that the McCain-Feingold campaign-financing law ended free speech 60 days before an election.

There, fixed it for ya Victor. As for this, touting McCain’s “experience”:

…carrier aviator, combat pilot, wounded veteran, tortured while a prisoner of war for five and a half years…

What a weak argument. Those aren’t qualifications for the Presidency. No one doubts McCain’s patriotism or past personal heroism. We doubt McCain’s (bad) ideas, emotional stability and judgment. The Presidency is not a reward to be handed to someone questionable because of the good things he did (or in Kerry’s case, claimed to have done) 35 years ago. Kerry was wrong to think so, and now McCain is too.

Hey that’s a great idea!!
We could give Mrs. Stalin 4-8 years in the WH. THAT’LL learn those Republicans a thing or two.

Here is McCain’s game plan: Please the moderates among the Republicans, Democrats and independents, and be the best choice for Democrats who are not anti-war on terrorism and/or who are not sold on more socialism.

His immigration message is that he will work amnesty for those here. That is why he got the California and Florida endorsements and will get Texas and New Mexico as well.

He has looked at the numbers and he believes he can more than offset the conservative base with independent and Democrat votes. He will get a fair number of conservative base votes out of default.

It is a workable strategy.

I’ve been reading VDH forever, well since 9/11. But in the last year I read every thing he writes. Seeing that my son now works for him, and VDH thinks very highly of my son.

I’m still not sure, and actually might simply have to make up my mind on Tues when I go into the polling booth.
