Washington Post: Some Members Of Republican Establishment Are Trying To Keep Arizona Senator From Getting The Nomination

It is precisely McCain''s willingness to cut across party lines to work out compromises that makes him a real possibility for non-party affiliated voters like me. I''m tired of all the "loyal" DEMS and REPS who get no legislation through Congress. He is also the only candidate who seems more patriotic and more courageous than myself (even though I despised the Vietnam War and its costs); the other candidates in both parties are politicians from the start and nothing but partisan hacks at that. His age is a plus.
He is beyond the point at which he is calculating his political future; he wants action on health care and immigration now and he will make bargains to get that action.

Question:
Would you like to own a brand new high definition 60" LCD / Plasma TV with reclining chair with large cup holder for your cold beverage of your choice?

Answer:
Huckabee! He is the ONLY candidate out of the presidential field willing to implement the "Fair-Tax" system.

Look at your paycheck and see how much they are taking out of your paycheck for taxes... go ahead go look at it now.

Now take the cost of a brand new 60" LCD / Plasma high def TV and reclining chair (& cup holder) and divide that number by how much taxes they are taking out.

Example:
$3,000 (TV cost, chair) / $325 tax holding each week = 8 weeks

That''''''''s it, only 8 weeks to get this great deal!!!

But if you vote for any other candidate it will take years to save up for this! Say you put away $10 each week, well that''''''''s 4 years!

So if you want to become poorer then vote for McCain, Romney, Thompson, Guiliani, Paul, Clinton, Obama, Edwards..... but if you want to become richer vote for Huckabee!

I hope McCave or Romney wins the nomination.

It will be hilarious watching them get their butts kicked by the Dems in the general election.

David Keene should be courtmartialed convicted and shot, for the extent that he has betrayed the ideals of this country, for forcing ideology over rationality, and the same for most of the other "power bloc". THIS bloc is what got us INTO this mess and they should be erased from the country. McCain, you are respected by many, feared by the rest, and are one of the few that has NOT betrayed the Republican party by following foolish and inane ideologies. Good luck sir.

McCain Pre-Iraq War Quotes:

%u201CBecause I know that as successful as I believe we will be, and I believe that the success will be fairly easy, we will still lose some American young men or women.%u201D [CNN, 9/24/02]

%u201CWe%u2019re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. We may have to take out buildings, but we%u2019re not going to have a bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies.%u201D [CNN, 9/29/02]

%u201CBut the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily.%u201D [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

%u201CIt%u2019s clear that the end is very much in sight.%u201D [ABC, 4/9/03]

%u201CThere%u2019s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along.%u201D [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

%u201CThis is a mission accomplished. They know how much influence Saddam Hussein had on the Iraqi people, how much more difficult it made to get their cooperation.%u201D [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

%u201CI%u2019m confident we%u2019re on the right course.%u201D [ABC News, 3/7/04]

%u201CI think the initial phases of it were so spectacularly successful that it took us all by surprise.%u201D [CBS, 10/31/04]

dontb1,,,,, It was our own American industrialists & Banks who supported Hitler & probably the sole reason that Auschwitz wasn''t bombed.

[donbl1]

J, gotta take a break and may see you tonight.

I personally am surprised at McCain''s success.

[donbl1]

J, Hillary won in NH because she carried the non-college group. Obama won the college group.

As I remember (before my time) it was mostly the uneducated that supported Hitler and became his Brown Shirts. The academics and successful were somewhat persecuted possibly because they were Jews or supported the Jews.

I''ll never vote for McCain. He may have been right on the surge but so were a lot of others. People have a short memory. This is the same man who has lent his names to more bills with Ted Kennedy than any other Republican. He has played the thorn in the side. He not only said he needed spending cuts to go with the tax cuts but used the class warfare language of the left to base the tax cuts which now he claims to support. He pushed for Amnesty and said that any plan to be considered would require Amnesty in one form or another now he says he never ever supported Amnesty. He doesn''t say he was wrong or mistaken only that he never ever supported it.

John McCain may not be as liberal as many claim but he is also not a loyal ally to the conservative cause.
He provided a life preserver to the Democrat congress with his gang of 14. He made inferences suggesting those opposing his amnesty bill were racists.

How people can be so blind. Thank God Thompson is surging in South Carolina (up 7 points over the weekend for a tie for second) and Romney is moving up in Michigan.

The McCain monster must be slain.

McCain: Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran

Huckabee: (in harmony)
Romney:
Giuliani: Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran

They all sing in the same boy band. What difference does it make ? McCain wants to be in Iraq for 100 years. Sound good to you ?

[donbl1]

J, the only other sides are Turkey and Russia or former CCCP countries.

Sounds nearly surrounded to me....

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,, Take another look at a map, & don''t be riduculous --- You think we have surrounded anyone ??? Damm man we can''t even get the forces to meet the requirements in Afaganistan

[bill1fj]

Why would anyone vote for mccain?
He has tried to sell out our country by granting amnesty to over 20 million ILLEGAL aliens in the U.S. right now.
Luckily he didn''t have the votes to do it.
He refused to push to secure our borders.
Now he wants to do it through administrative orders i elected president.
NO Amnesty.
NO mccain.
Why would anyove vote for mccain?

Thank You,
A FORMER mccain supporter.

[donbl1]

J, I think you have that wrong as McCain was the only one fighting for more troops. I am sure you knew that....

Are you spreading falsehoods?

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,, McCain wouldn''t even fight for more troops when he knew they where always needed. What makes you think he''s going to do any better ??? ----- Bombing Iran would lead to more conflict we no longer have the forces to support & more Global Destabilization

[donbl1]

J, we occupy Afghanistan, Iraq and have troops in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and etc. And, Pakistan is mostly Sunni.

Sounds surrounded.

[donbl1]

J, McCain has never said that being a member of a church was a significant part of his life. He has said that he believes like most Americans.

For a politician, that is a pretty honest statement like many of his statements.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,,, I see, you idea is to occupy every country surrounding Iran ??
