Steve Forbes's money is on John McCain

If elected, John McCain, considering his advisors are Forbes and Gramm stands a good chance of becoming the Herbert Hoover of this century.

john mccain, a senator long enough to be on both sides of every issue.

a vote for this fool is a vote against democracy, peace and common sense.

McCain is now trying to pull votes from Huckabee. A vote for McCain is a vote for more of McCain the same. Don’t drink McCain’s Kool-Aid!

I'll put up with McCain's leftist leanings if he picks Huckabee as VP. If so then Huckabee can run around and sell the FairTax which I think is the most important idea in a long long time.

I will not vote for John McCain who would permanently destroy the Republican party. He has spent the last 8 years betraying and undermining the Republican party while pandering to the liberal left. I would rather have a Democrat win and finally take the blame for this mess that we're sinking into. Whether it is Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John McCain, they will advance the liberal agenda. And each of them will take the country down the road to ruin. After 4 years, when the economy has tanked, when the dollar is worth nothing, when socialism has completely overtaken our economy and ground it to a halt, when social security has gone completely bankrupt, when the economic strain has undermined our military to the point where we are weak, when liberals have eroded the conservative values to the point of complete moral decay, only then will we realize the socialistic danger that we have been slipping into. At that point, we will go crawling on our hands and knees to Mitt Romney. And we will beg him to save us from disaster (the way that he saved the Olympics). Only then (when we are desperate for change) will we be willing to "get past" the "religion issue" (honestly, isn't this the REAL issue that has been holding people back) and accept this intelligent, principled, patriotic, great man. It took Jimmy Carter and the disaster that he brought in order for us to see and accept the greatness of Ronald Reagan. It will probably take a Hillary Clinton or John McCain in office to open the door for recovery (by tearing down this country to the point where people are willing to truly stand behind the values that have made this nation great). But if John McCain destroys our country, Republicans will be blamed. And we will not even get the chance to fix it.

Those of you who are conservatives, and think sending McCain to the White House would be a good thing should think about who McCain will feel loyalty to. Do you think he will feel obligated to serve the conservative base that despises him, or will he serve the liberal media and friends who handed him the election? McCain has a long memory for his enemies, and he is a stubborn and sometimes mean spirited enemy. When it comes to nominating judges, where do you think McCain's loyalties will fall? Do you think for a minute that they will fall with the conservative base that has scorned him, or will they fall with the liberal media that loves him? To answer those questions, you can simply look at his recent record in the Senate. He obviously feels more loyalty to his buddies across the aisle than he does to the conservative base that long supported him. Even when we supported him, he stabbed us in the back. Now that we despise him, how will he respond? Probably the same way he has over the past 8 years - with increasing disdain for conservatives. He even talks the liberal talk these days (class envy, business if evil, profit over patriotism, etc.). Do you really believe he is going to pick judges that you would like?

There is a big fundamental difference between McCain and Romney. Romney has a successful record of solving problems (even very complex and difficult ones); from business challenges (turning failing businesses into successes and growing jobs), to saving the Olympics, to governing successfully with conservative principles in the most liberal state in America, Romney has proven repeatedly that no challenge is too difficult for him to solve. McCain, on the other hand, has managed to make problems in the face of opportunities. Tell me one person in the country who has created more problems for Republicans over the last 8 years. From McCain / Feingold (which permanently shifted the fund raising advantage from Republicans to Democrats), to McCain / Kenedy (which would undermine the rule of law by essentially pardoning millions who have broken it, while yielding a tremendous political advantage to the Democrats), to rejecting the Marriage Amendment (which Romney fought hard on behave of), to rejecting the Bush tax cuts, to his gang of 14 (which allowed Democrats to block numerous conservative judicial nominations), to McCain / Lieberman (which will impose additional burdens on American businesses), to opposing oil drilling in Alaska, to undermining the war on terror with his protests about Gitmo, Rumsfeld, surveillance, "torture", he has consistently caused problems while betraying and undermining our Republican party.

Romney is correct. Washington is broken (and McCain is part of the problem). Spending is out of control, liberal judges are writing law, our laws (i.e. immigration) are broken without consequence, the deficit is growing while the dollar is falling, social security is on the road to bankruptcy, gas prices are rising while we become more dependent on foreign oil (even though we have reserves available that we don't tap because of the environmental lobby, and McCain), etc. The longer we delay fixing these problems, the worse they become. How much pain will it take before we wake up?

Romney will eventually turn the country around at that point (if given the chance). But it will be even harder then than it is now. But this is a man who has accepted and conquered these types of challenges in the past. And he will do it (as he did in Massachusetts) without taking a salary. He'll do it (as he did for the Olympics) because of his personal commitment to public service, and his patriotic zeal for America. And he will do it (as he did in his courageous stand in defending traditional marriage in Massachusetts) while defending the important foundation of the family, and the religious Christian values that founded this great nation. He will do it because he is a compassionate and patriotic man, and because he is one of the smartest people this world has known.

"Steve Forbes's money is on John McCain"

I love it when rich guys throw away good money.

Wow! Isn't it amusing how the mainstream media and the country club Republicans are trying to make McCain seem inevitable?

I am old enough to remember how they tried to do the same thing in '76 -- telling us Ronald Reagan is an old washed up B-movie actor and will never be heard from again.

I voted early under the Cook County provisions and voted for Romney and Romney delegates -- principally because he is not Ted Kennedy's pal, McCain.

This is utter nonsense. The fact is that the "conservatives" have been having a juvenile tantrum jihad on McCain because he dares to lead. Could anyone imagine the Gipper listening to Rush to figure our what position to take? Who made Rush/Hugh/Sean the pope to define what is and isn't conservative.

The argument that McCain is not a conservative has ALWAYS been phony and does not stand up to fact and reason. The fact is that McCain has demonstrated the capacity to lead. Leaders in McCain’s words "are makers of history, not its victim". That scares the hell out of those benefiting from pretending that they alone define the terms of conservatives. They would much rather spout improvable philosophy that no one could follow. No matter what happens they can piously stand arms folded and say in a whiny voice "its because they are not following the religion".

This is exactly like the Pope using inquisition to try to keep control. That failed and so will the allege power of the AM Talkers. It's time for the GOP reformation and age of enlightenment. They can sit back and watch a leader because the people of this great nation have had ENOUGH! The people are speaking and the GOP better listen.

Willard AKA Mitt’s statement about the timetable is doublespeak. We need a timetable but keep is secret. That way he can say he supported a timetable and didn’t. Who in their right mind would think it’s possible to have that secret? Even considering a timetable is a losing war strategy that will lead to surrender.

This is just another Mittism like his answer in the debate about catastrophic insurance. He said he supported a national program but not if someone in Iowa pays for a loss in FL. Is he serious? This is another one where he flips mid-sentence so he supports it and doesn’t at the same time.

Americans are tired of this dishonesty. This is not a conservative or republican value. Mitt is loose with the truth, wants to be on every side of every issue, and says whatever he needs to get elected. This is his track record all the way back to 1994. If he is the nominee he will be torn to shreds with his own words and record.

Oh, and for those swayed by fake testimonials… I used to support Mitt, I really like his hair, he looks so Presidential, and he says things that make me feel good, maybe he will tell us all how to make money like he did. But this last reminder (Timetable) that he wants to surrender really has me switching to McCain. He is the only one who can lead us from day one as Commander is Chief.

Go Johnny Go…

Will any American who even pretends to be loyal do their research??

Mitt made his Super Tuesday Call:

http://hickeysite.blogspot.com/2008/02/john-mccain-willard-mitt-romney-gives.html

Romney will win a lot of states on Tuesday, just as he dominated McCain today in Maine's caucus, 56% to 22%.

I really don't care what Forbes thinks. (And I am a businessman.)

Besides, he is wealthy enough that a poor economy won't hurt him.

Serious conservatives better hope that the liberal media-driven McCain campaign is stopped this Tuesday, for otherwise, with McCain at the head of the ticket, Republicans will lose up to 30 seats in the House, 7 seats in the Senate and innumerable numbers of Governorships and state legislative seats.

Why? Because regular Republicans and conservatives will be so dispirited that they will not work and will not turn out.

Doubt that? Just ask President Bob Dole.

"Steve Forbes's money is on John McCain."

Hey Steve, there's always room for one more poor person in America!

McCain today called Forbes "a major contributor to the tax reform movement in our country... Steve's advice and counsel on the important economic issues facing our nation, and I am grateful to have him on our team."

Forbes has been pushing a flat tax for centuries. He's got his! And he didn't even earn it! He inherited it! There is no more certain way to ruin our democracy than to enshrine a moneyed class with superior privileges to all other classes.

I'm an undecided voter, and I don't believe in wasting energy making predictions about election outcomes, but I think it is important to expose some misinformation.

It was Hoover's protectionism that plunged US into depression; McCain is a free trader.

There are many important issues in this election and the economy is one of them. The Republican party has let the US down. Tax cuts work only if they are paid for by decreases in spending. I don't fault the BUsh administration so much for going ahead with tax cuts in 2001, they were like deer in headlights with how quickly the budget surplus was evaporating. What I do fault Bush for, however, is not reducing spending at the same time he was cutting taxes (that's why McCain voted against the tax cut) -- all the pork spending. Bush betrayed the conservative fiscal roots of the Republican party; for him it became all about keeping the political machine in power. What better way to do it than wiht pork spending?

The US (and its citizens)must stop living beyond its means and it must address social security and medicaid reform NOW. That is going to involve a considerable amount of adjustment and pain for many Americans. McCain may be the only guy with the courage to stand up and talk straight to the "Me" generation about this. If Hillary were to put together an economic team similar to those who advised Bill, who was more of a fiscal conservative than Bush, then that could influence me on this issue.

Putting our country on a firm financial footing is one of the most important moral issues of the day. The markets are already forcing Americans to reign in their deficit spending habits. But this is nothing compared to the adjustment that will be forced by foreign holders of our national debt if we do not address our fiscal problems.
