Comments on: Surging McCain Faces Conservative Skeptics

CBSNews.com Reports: Despite Early Wins, Conservative Establishment Has Yet To Embrace Republican Presidential Hopeful

I''''m confused at how many people refer to John McCain as a liberal. Is anyone who isn''''t a Bush clone a liberal? Everyone is so extremist these days. So sad.
==============
McCain had voted more with the Liberal Causes then what is considered conservative.

Whats citizenship for illegals

Whated to sensor conservative radio talk.

He has done a lot more to limit personal freedoms than a conservative would.

Some votes were Ok but others were too liberal for me.

"McCain"s surge is quite a mystery to me. He"s far too old and far to soft on illegal immigration to suit me. Not to mention his running battle with malignant melanoma. Uh uh....no way."

John McCain is an officer and a gentleman.

He"s the right man in the right place at the right time.

The concession speech he is destined to make in November will be generous and magnanimous, and will help unite the country behind President Hillary Clinton.

Limbaugh thinks he"s the Lord of Hosts.

[iceman_1960]

"...and a host of conservative talk radio hosts led by Rush Limbaugh, who has suggested a McCain nomination would "destroy the Republican Party."

A host of hosts ?

How did these bums ever manage to hijack the Party of Lincoln ?

Sounds like you are describing the Democratic Party.

Here is a real example of so-called illegal immigration. Two American citizens adopt a child from Korea. They don''t complete the necessary paperwork on the child. The child, when he turns 18, will have been in the country ''illegally'' meaining out of status, which is exactly what BCIS (INS) means by the word ''illegal''...under current law, that person has to leave the country for 10 years (any illegal stay over 1 year....remember child was brought here as an infant).

Imagine, you speak only english, you only know American parents and american siblings...going to Korea to survive for 10 years.

McCain used another example. Housewife, marries an American man. He refuses to sponsor her status, thinking that its better for him to hold all the cards... fast forward 40 years...she is retired, 70 years old, her grandsons are fighting the war in Iraq. Her entire family (still living) are all American citizens...they cannot sponsor her, there is no legal path. She must be deported, and survived for 10 years (to age 80) in Mexico.

John McCain has spoken about the absurdity of telling an american soldier fighting and risking his life in Iraq, that the very country he is defending, just deported his 70 year old grandma to Mexico.

All the candidates are against illegal immigration. Preventing it. Deporting criminals. The distinction is whether one is reasonable, or a pandering hate monger. It''s obvious where Romney stands.

935 Documented lies by the Bu$h Administration between 9/11/2001 and 3/31/2003 in order to drum up support for the Bu$h War of Choice in Iraq!

Talk about spineless!!!! And smarmy!

McCain is complicit with the Bu$h mis-Administration''s lies. He believes them so there is proof that the lies do work on some people.

McCain''s surge is quite a mystery to me. He''s far too old and far to soft on illegal immigration to suit me. Not to mention his running battle with malignant melanoma. Uh uh....no way.

"In his world, it''s very difficult to have a simply policy disagreement," Keene said. "Everything becomes personal. His position is right, and everyone else''s is basically evil."

Welcome to the world of everyone who isn''t a Rovian Republican, Keene. That is the attitude the entire rest of the planet has gotten for the past 7 years now.

What a bunch of crybaby hypocrites.

If you want the U.S. to remain in Iraq for another five years or more, definitely vote for McCain. He is Bush Jr. when it comes to the Iraq occupation, draining lives and money daily. These Republicans talk incessantly about the threat from terrorism as they lay waste to the U.S. with their own stupid policies.
