It''s not a surprise that McCain admires Roosevelt. After all, how many people can really recall the 1900''s now a days?

Ol''Teddy liked war, so maybe he was a Conservative after all.

of course McSame needs to correlate himself with Reagan.
Both are senile.

** Both supported Amnesty for illegals!
Reagan in 1985 or 1986 gave amnesty to over 4 million illegals, and in 2007, Mccain co-sponsored a bill that would have given amnesty to over 12 million illegals, dems and repubs knocked down the bill before it could get through congress, luckily! I don''t want to lose my job to one of over 12 million people that came into this country illegally! That is why I hate Mccain! Because Mccain supports amnesty for illegals! Mccain needs to move to Mexico, that is where he belongs! He is a mexican hero, not an american hero! Teddy Roosevelt fought the spanish in the Spanish-American war! Now Mccain want to let their decendants that illegally came into this country, to be granted citizenship through amnesty! Talk about people not having a clue! Vote Obama 2008! Say no to spanish becoming the #1 language in the USA! Mccain would change United States of American, into United States of Mexico!

** Conservatism would be allowed to survive if they would stop trying to give amnesty to illegals! Reagan and Mccain are both amnesty supporters! Teddy R. went to war against Spain in the late 1890s, Mccain wants to let their decendents that illegally came into this country to get amnesty! Teddy R. would be rolling around in his grave if he knew what Mccain is trying to do by giving over 12 million illegals amnesty! Say no to amnesty! Vote for anyone other than Amnesty Mccain!

TR%u2019s face is carved into the side of Mount Rushmore precisely because he was a man of principal. Although it is true he was not a conservative.
He lived in the days before greed and self interest became a %u201Cprincipal%u201D.

Most conservatives wouldn%u2019t know a principal if one bit them in the a.s.s.

Bizarre! Do these twits at National Review really think they''re going to take down all of America''s great presidents to clear the way for worshipping that intellectual nullity Reagan? Without TR Yellowstone would be a strip mine and the Grand Canyon would be a parking lot. TR would have called Beran and his overlords at NR "effeminate", though today that would be an insult to women. It must be a great embarassment these days to be a rank and file Republican knowing that these momma''s boys claim to speak for them...

%u201CThe modern liberal is engaged in the oldest of man%u2019s exercises in social philosophy; that is, the search for a superior ideological justification for ignorance.%u201D

So McCain is liberal with his class ranking of 894 out of 899...

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

Is this the NRO trying to help McCain by claiming he is too moderate for them? A sneaky reverse endorsement?
