donbl1,,,, What religion is McCain going to be next month ???

[donbl1]

J, I summed up with "surrounding Iran" which is much more effective than attacking.

We can not fight another land war for several years.

[j-whitman]

donbl1,,,, You haven''t listened to any of our military''s uniformed leaders dude ---- No way dude, attacking Iran is not in our intrest.

[donbl1]

J, JDAMS are for taking out the Iranian nuclear sites. Iran is being surrounded.

[j-whitman]

Republican concept of making our skys safer --- Give the Saudi''s JDAM''s so they will quit hijacking our airlines.

If Romney continues to win some states and getting second place in others, then, he''''ll ultimately get the nomination. Here''''s hoping Thompson can upset that though. Lastly, McCain is too cozy with the liberals for Republicans to accept him. Period!
***********************************************

LOL. Thompson???? If that is the best the Republican''s can do, a comotose actor with a trophy wife, then they are in real trouble. What a joke. Poor Republicans.

SusanHelit...While I had no intention to support McCain my reasons were like yours. If someone treated me the way Bush treated McCain they would be my enemy for life. Also, McCains visit to Bob Jones University showed me that McCain will pander for votes wherever he thinks they may be. Of course that may be said for all the candidates.

[kansas1946]

McCain has not only declined to offer such gestures -- he''s stomped on them.
*******************************
Well, good for him. I wouldn''t set at the same lunch counter with that bunch of scum bags. I doubt I will vote for McCain, but he is the only viable candidate that the Republicans have. The rest of the bunch are just plain goofy. Poor Republicans.

howdyrowdy53...I went to the web site that you listed and took the survey. I scored Clinton 50, Obama 45, Edwards 43, and Biden was up there but he''s gone now. The republican candidates were all in single numbers. Well, it was interesting but pretty much what I expected. I won''t use this to determine my vote but it was fun to do. Thanks.

I just love watching the GOPers indulge in their cannibalistic feeding frenzy and the joke, the very sad joke, is at the end of the frenzy their candidate will undoubtly be worse than their current Whitehouse occupant Prez Shrub and his side kick the Vice D.ick...

To bad Darth Cheney doesn''''t have the heart (literally) to enter the race hisself! Talk about a feeding frenzy...yeeee Hah!

That''s one big plus for McCain - he has the right enemies! None of those opposing him are good guys in any way, and opposing him because he exposes their criminal activites and agendas - that''s only a positive recommendation to most voters.


However - I lost all respect for him when he bowed and scraped for Bush even after Bush used that horrible rumor campaign against him - the racist push-polling - to beat McCain. No one with any respect for themselves would bow down to a person who did that.

[dmgenet]

This is exactly why McCain should be nominated. Moderate Republicans need to endorse, enmasse, McCain because he is a real Republican. He is nothing like the neo-cons, religous right bozos, and nation builders of the Bush administration. There are no fiscal conservatives in the Bush arena. Let''s stir the pot a bit and get McCain nominated!

[element51]

MityWhity...I don''t think that all Democrats are saints. If you really take a good hard look at politics you well see that both sides are far from perfect. However, when it comes to "swift boat" tactics the democrats have not resorted to that type of campaigning. Take a good look at the events of the last 7 years and it is obvious that the current administration has not had the best interest of the American people in mind. I have total respect for your point of view even though I do not agree with you. From your words it appears that you have spent a lot of time listening to Limbaugh and Hannity and Coulter. It is their job to discredit the democrats at all costs and one must keep that in mind when listening to them. You could replace Democrats with Republicans in your post and be just as close to the truth. Think for yourself and make the decisions that you feel in your heart are right for you.

[robstrck]

If you use the word greedy to describe Republicans. I use the word lazy to describe Democrats

[cfin5]

McFloppin'' McCain, Shucksabee, Giuliani are nothing but "TROJAN SHEEP". Get''em out of here!

[mrbrill]

budd, the reason Republicans hate McCain is that Republicans want to be able to dictate morality... which is something McCain doesn''t believe in... They believe that all of US'' problems are caused by liberals, foreigners, and atheists, and if they can get rid of those people, then everyone will be able to be fully employed and live happily ever after. They also don''t like McCain because is he for campaign reform. Just think of the BILLIONS of tax payers dollars wasted on the Medicare Prescription Drug legislation... Think of all the Republicans who helped pass the legislation who now have 6-figure and even 7-figure salaries now with the drug companies. It makes you so mad, you want to get every last one of them.

[micma-2009]

Watch them swift boat Mcain. Todays Republican party are a bunch of corrupt, greedy, corporate criminals who care nothing about America.

[tylenol6]

McCain is NOT the only republican to come out voicing
that the neo-cons have taken over the country. Ron Paul has come out and said that numerous time and much more. People need to start researching these candidates. McCain is a war pig and pro-amnesty. McCain will do and say anything to win. I wonder why McCain''s Arizona constituents are trying to RECALL him. They say McCain sold out the american people, that''s why.

Teach them English, ...We also need to teach them that if they cannot demand a higher standard of living in the US, that they will be just trading the poverty of one country, for poverty in another. Posted by RowdyTexan2 at 01:45 PM

Rowdy: Many of them are already learning English, just like generations of immigrants from the past. I can almost always tell who is legal and who isn''t by the level of English they speak. However, if someone has been raised here as a child, even though he/she is illegal, they are of course quite fluent. I would agree though if illegals were to be given some fast track to living here, requiring them to learn the dominant language is the best for all concerned.

With regards to standards of living, many immigrants have a zest for moving ahead that often doesn''t exist in natural citizens. Moving ahead is why they are here.

Eventually the majority of the undocumented will be here legally one way or another. Most of them are people who have alreadly lived here for many years and their children don''t know any other place. As these children grow and marry, many will become legal as a result. Many members of the armed forces are children of illegals. The flow of illegals that we saw during the 80s and 90s has been considerably reduced. There will be no more cheap labor, and that may be good or bad depending on where you find yourself in the near future: outsourcing of farms or higher prices for produce that is already going sky high.
