I don't know who's worse "Baghdad is Safe" John McCrazy or "Serial Liar/Flip-Flooper" Willard Romney?

The Rethuglicans have a tough choice this election, all of their candidates are terrible and somehow they have to pick the "best" one from that toxic stew of ineptness.
Heck, Charlie Manson could probably garner a few votes if he was to run on this years Republic Party ballot.

Giuliani/Manson 08!!!

John McCain has dropped to the bottom of my list. Why cant he respond and defend his record. Instead he does what all Liberals do they attack the messenger. The only phoney one is McCain masquerading as a Republican who cares about Immirgration or Taxes. He repeatedly voted for Amnesty for Illegals and voted against the Bush Tax cuts. I am voting for Mitt Romney the honest Reagan Republican for a bright future for my children!

Dear John McCain:

With all due respect, sir, your presidential campaign is destined for failure. So, you have positioned yourself as a tough-guy who can make it through difficult things, and who can push agendas in the Senate. Simply stated, that doesn't qualify you for anything more than being a successful Return POW and Senator. You are simply not presidential material. Prepare for failure in your 2008 bid. I recommend making plans now for what you'll be doing in the next few years, and where you'll live, because it won't be in the White House.

With all due respect, Try and Relax, John.

Best Regards,

Chris

McCain is a sleaze.

And as anyone in New England knows,the Boston Globe (owned by the NYTimes) and the Boston Herald (hated Romney while he was Governor) will do anything to try and knock Mitt down. He is the intelligent and careful man of the future, not the "Dole" of this year's crop. The papers just want to endorse anyone other than someone who will run hard against a democrat. Any democrat.

Romney calling McCain's ads nasty is the pot calling the kettle black.

Romney has relentlessly attacked Mike Huckabee not only with TV ads, but has also flooded our mailboxes with lies and half-truths.

Now he turns on McCain. For shame! For Shame!

Yes, the McCain ad is a personal attack. It's about time someone challenged Mitt Romney's integrity.

I've said on my blog that Mitt Romney hasn't met a position he wouldn't abandon if the right political situation presented itself.

Here's the link to that post:

Here's the thing re SS: Bring the Mexican workers into the system, give them a SSn (then they won't have to steal yours.) tax them and shore up the system. Win Win Win.

Here is a good example of why McCain is a better choice than Willard.

If only Sleepy John hadn't done that right wing shuffle early on. He lost the middle on that dance.

McCain has a very interesting view of presidential primary politics: never talk about issues, never respond to criticism based on issues, and never let anyone know that you're running on one issue. His recent statements suggest that only experts can be president. HE FAILS HIS OWN TEST! He is no expert on housing or healthcare, certainly not on immigration, taxes, or campaign finance reform! What we need is leadership. McCain has no executive record and should stay in the Senate where he can continue to contribute nothing.

Senator McCain will prove that CHARACTER does matter. His courageous refusal to pander or flip flop! That's why the straight talker will suprise some folks in Iowa and will get a giant boost from New Hampshire once again. Thanks to the voters in these states -- who can examine the candidates UP CLOSE and determine IN PERSON who's REAL (McCain) ... and who's phony (Romney the flip flopper). Thanks, Janet

With all due respects Senator McCain.... your time has come and gone and your are in denial if you cannot recognize it.
Let me refresh your memory... you are 71 going on 72! All your friends are also in their 70's. Nothing wrong for being 71 but does this Country really needs an old man to bring in new directions?
Some people do not know when to quit and somehow you seem to be one of them.
I voted for you in 2000 but now, you should think of retiring and let the younger candidates run this great Country.
You have done enough for this country, thank you but... we do not need an old man running the most sophisticated country in the world. We need new blood in Washington, we do not want to see all your old friends there.
Happy retirement.

I forgot to mention: Senator McCain has never managed anything, he cannot even manage his own campaign without being bankrupt... how does he intend to manage the biggest employment office in the country?

Romney does not have a consistent conservative record. I agree with McCain. After seeing this site...I tend to trust McCain more than Romney:

This is a GREAT ad!

Romney IS a phony, which is why the paper called him one. He is UNFIT to be president.

McCain is The man!(For the Republicans anyway-Edwards is The Man for the democrats).

I am tired about hearing about "Flip Flopping". Even McCain now says he was wrong about supporting the immigration bill this fall. McCain's flip flops are three months apart, Romney's are decades.

That being said, I want a candidate willing to adapt to changing data and changing public opinion at times. Bush has been castigated for his refusal to do so. Romney is being castigated for doing so too easily--you can't have it both ways.

"The editorial board of the Concord Monitor is obviously liberal. I have no doubt that the Concord Monitor editorial board will endorse and vote for the Democratic candidate for president next November. In the run-up to the 2004 New Hampshire primary, the Monitor advised its readers: "Only Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts has well-reasoned and rock-solid answers to every question, foreign or domestic." The Monitor of course endorsed Kerry for president in the 2004 election as well. The Monitor's view of the best Republican candidate might be useful as a contrary indicator for Republicans.

The McCain campaign of course touts the Monitor's endorsement today. But why should Republicans take the advice of liberal Democrats on their party's nominee for president?" (from www.powerlineblog.com)

Mitt can take a punch - but he needs alot of time on the heavy bag if he wants to 'get-in-close' with John McCain. Too late for the speed bag Mitt!

Only Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson and Ron Paul have the right credentials, to stop the disasterous period of red ink. Alas, we cannot trust any Democrats to stop the illegal alien invasion, because their pandering for votes during the occupation of our nation. Even McCain destroyed his chances when he joined up with ultra-liberal Ted Kennedy to pass a mammoth immigration bill. We would have had millions of illegal aliens in our Social Security system, who never paid into it.

Taxpayers must stand with any official, who is willing to go that extra mile; no matter the political consequences. Very few politicians have the backbone to consumate the majority will of THE PEOPLE. They have become panderers to corporate and globalist open-border, unfair free-traders favors. America can no longer afford the $2 trillion dollar a year, to support the pariah contractors and businesses that hire illegal immigrants. They themselves receive all the profit, and the taxpayers gets the bill for hospitals, education and the massive prison appropriations. With between 12 to 20 million illegal aliens already here, with another estimated 17 million turning up on our shores by 2010, we are forced by federal law to subsidise these low income families. Taxpayers fall for this trick all the time, because the government doesn't tell us about food stamps, subsidised housing and a whole cornicopia of other free goodies. Its so easy for the citizen-taxpayer to carry the burden of cost's while the employer walks away. Free trade entities are behind the Bush administration unfettered movement of illegal cheap, foreign labor which is undermining our citizen workers wages. Most U.S. citizens have no concept of tomorrow, with outsourcing of jobs and business to foreign lands, along with the import of millions of people who can't speak our language and most have no wish to assimulate into our society. All but a few of our presidential contenders are not multi-millionaires, that show little interest in proposing laws protect our country from a globalist agenda? Both political parties are to blame, along with the american people for allowing this International globalist plan to continue. Our Industrial base is withering, unless you prefer a service nation? Big business must be held accountable for the destruction of our living standards. Hopefully, THE PEOPLE will show their intentions, starting with the Iowa Caucases and the upcoming New Hampshire Primaries! Are we going to have more of the same, with a depletion of our wealth and an erosion of our society. Or are we going to have fair free-trade and our national borders sealed for security and our prosperity?

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

McCain appeals to the MSM. Circulation numbers are down almost across the board. Network tv news is suffering through long term disaster. Primary voters are better informed and less easily swayed by endorsements than those in the general election. In combination its unlikely he can win.

McCain isn't realy one to talk about flip floping or telling the truth.

Get a load of these detours that his "straight talk express" has made.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioy90nF2anI

As far as McCain's "I am legend line" goes, to be honest, while it will be good to have a President that can get back up when they are knocked down, I would rather have a President that doesn't get knocked out at all. And several of those times where McCain had to get back up are because he knocked himself out. That isn't going to cut it in the White House.

Our nation is at war. War calls for leaders with courage, character, and vision. John McCain is that man. He understands the way the world works and will lead us to victory. He is the only truly great man/woman in the race.

Mitt Romney did nothing but focus on the issues. The response by both McCain and Huckabee are typical of individuals who are losing a debate. They deflect focus on the issues and make every attempt to call the personal credibility of their opponent into question.

Here are some facts...

Public education rating by state:

Massachusetts #2 (Romney)
Arizona #50 (McCain, dead last)
Arkansas #32 (Huckabee, bottom third)

Health Care:

Romney's healthcare initiative in Massachusetts significantly reduced the cost of health insurance to the citizens of the state. Nearly 300,000 citizens without previous healthcare coverage are now insured.

http://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/wm14 14.cfm

The Economy:

Mitt Romney not only has an MBA from one of the most prestigious business schools in the world, he has demonstrated his ability to apply what he has learned in both the public and private sectors. His economic success at Bain Capital, in the Olympics, and in dealing with the Massachusetts state deficit were not anomalies.

If the republicans want a conservative candidate that has demonstrated that he can get the job done... it is Mitt Romney.

See the Washington Post’s recent article addressing McCain’s steel-corded ties to the lobbyists and campaign money-bundlers of K Street, perhaps also research his involvement with Keating (who served time for fraud) of “Keating 5” infamy, as well as all the very questionable contributions he garnered perforce when chairman of the Commerce Committee from 1997 to 2004, and remark the not so subtle pressures he applied and the exchange of political and influence services he proffered to receive that money. McCain can win neither the nomination nor the 2008 general election. To state that this supposed Reformer John should be more realistically viewed as unctuous, duplicitous and mendacious is understatement. It is established he will not win in Iowa and it is very remote he can best Romney in New Hampshire. True, there is a temporary spurt in his direction, but no discernible “surge.” The idea that he could win both is an old assertion made before by his deluded promoters, which seemed then, as now, mostly a distant hope primarily advanced by knowledgeable Democrat consultants and talking-heads, together with their complicit media flacks. Look at the longtime affiliations of the regional newspapers endorsing McCain and their ownership to settle all question of impartiality amongst the northeastern media groups. This collective effort occurred initially at the time McCain was soundly defeated by Bush in the Republican primaries (particularly SC) held seven years ago before Bush's eventual election to his first presidential term. That same disinformation junta is now returned to full operation. One recent example of their efforts is the deliberately skewed view provided through the theatrical lens controlled by this media of the so-called “immigration reform” debate and personalities, intended to cast the proponents of Kennedy-McCain as acting in the nation’s best interest, when the public at large correctly perceived this measure as wrongheaded and deliberately misconstrued by its authors– as it truly was and is. We don’t need supposed “reform” bills that won’t become law; we need earnestly unrelenting enforcement of current immigration law instead, until restrictions and our borders can be tightened. Added to the usual insufferable left-wing bias of the press and the behind-the-scenes political machinations of the opposing party on his behalf, though solely because of their perception of him as the weakest candidate, was McCain's very off-putting, bitter, deserving, and childish attitude. This he wore equally on both sleeves in that just mentioned primary season, just as he again wears the attitude to-day, to the uncomfortable effect that his one-time POW status somehow entitles him to automatically become his party’s unopposed nominee, and to unchallenged triumph as that party’s candidate. But this time around he should by right, he feels, be handed the nomination and accumbency once unjustly denied him by Bush-43's unholy challenge in those prior cycle primaries and capped by Bush’s winning candidacy. To be sure, McCain is perhaps rightfully embittered by his horrific war experiences and captivity, as well as merely reacting in a human way to his unexpected loss to Bush. But these and more of the same entitle him to exactly nothing, and assuredly not my or your support or vote, as he seems fervently to believe he is, and also a delusion clearly evinced by his statements and actions. Hick-he-be's promo statement of McCain as a “hero" (One could question his definition.), on the stump in Iowa and on yester-day’s very disappointing "Meet the Press" interview, is a calculated move to boost his cascading chances of winning the Iowa caucus, in the desperate hope that McCain will thereby siphon away some of Romney's more solid support (85% certainty for Romney to 59% for him), to his ultimate benefit. Too, McCain is noticeably at least partially physically infirm and his comparatively advanced age to Romney does not bode well for a second term, in the unlikely event he does become the nominee, and in the even less likely scenario he then becomes our next president. There is something distinctively untrustworthy and out-of-kilter about him, which disquieting feeling settles over me whenever I view him as he so carefully holds himself together in check, it seems, while his inner-demons simmer and war immediately below the surface of his otherwise placid countenance or carapace, leaving me to wonder just when this roiling inner-fulmination will pitch the real McCain over the edge of once borderline rational being downward to the irrational abyss into which he appears to stare. His legislative record on the subject of immigration and the question of amnesty is not only poor but if enacted in the form he asserts would have an astonishingly disastrous result for the United States. Our way of life, our sense of security as Americans, our very culture, our economy and future economic health, our homogeneousness or our identity as one people (being crushed under the onerous weight of peoples who have no intention of assimilating but intent on stealing our social benefits), even our common use of the English language, etc., are all under very real and unremitting threat, if not already unalterably changed, by the continued presence of these illegal aliens. By not acting responsibly, sincerely and timely, or in allowing our politicians to endlessly vacillate on this exceedingly important issue, we continue to incur the unnecessary loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in transfer payments and retirement benefits to 20-25 million (the true number) illegal aliens. While I largely agree with Romney on immigration and remain immutably opposed to the elderly McCain and the Hick-he-be as candidates for nomination by the Republican Party, the position of Romney and the polity need to be first strengthened (retroactively) in three basic ways: Coming illegally into this country should be made a serious felony and thus become a criminal offense, and should not continue in the legal posture of but a minor civil matter, as is currently the case; the children of illegal aliens born here are not automatically citizens (and were not held as such by bureaucrats until recently); and all illegal aliens found in country are summarily deported and/or imprisoned. A fourth badly needed change is to allow, empower and absolutely require all federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and officers to inquire, with reasonable cause, about a person’s immigration status and to arrest on the spot, as well as also incarcerate, those found to be illegally in our country. Fifth: Immediately close all appeals or special immigration courts, or incarcerate those ordered before such courts until their cases have been adjudicated in a local criminal court. McCain, as well as the other candidates of either party, with the exception of Romney, cannot be trusted to push through these necessary reforms, which would most effectively close present gaping loopholes. To expose McCain’s positions for what they truly are by means of political adverts as is a normal part of our usual and historical electioneering methods, just like exposing the fact of the Hick-he-be’s lack of intelligence and his record as a governor of a third-rate state, is certainly fair and appropriate. Those professionals who know of what they speak will agree that McCain would be as easily defeated as the Hick-he-be or the multi-partnered Guiliani in a general election. But then, admittedly, I trust that Romney will be the Republican candidate and can win the 2008 election. He is the best candidate, right on the issues and challenges ahead, honest, capable, extremely intelligent, and appropriately experienced. Romney will make a superb leader for this country, come 2008.
