It''s critical to appreciate the pivotal role that our own border security plays in our "war against terrorism", keeping in mind that "Amnesty" is anathema to border security. A Nation without enforceable borders will not long survive as a Nation. Mitt Romney is exceedingly strong on each of these principles; while his opponent, John McCain, ( who conducted himself like a petulant child in the recent Republican debate ) has proven that illegal immigration is an issue on which he can NOT be trusted. Don''t be misled by McCain''s "Clintonian-Lies" concerning Romney''s record.

Actual candidate voting records on actual bills and laws.

Double check and see how your choice actually voted on things.

Polls now show ROMNEY ahead of McCain in California. Meanwhile, feature news stories describe how "McCain is winning approval from conservatives". Where is this anomaly taking place? Something might be going on within Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Chihuahua and other states in Mexico. After all, McCain%u2019s %u201CHispanic Outreach Director%u201D, Juan Hernandez holds dual citizenship in the United States and Mexico.

By his own words, the seditious Hernandez supports open borders as part of Mexico%u2019s "Reconquista" of the United States. Hernandez, while on McCain%u2019s presidential campaign also holds office as %u201CAdvisor to the Mexican federal government%u201D. This Mexican nationalist lists a principal home residence in Mexico City. McCain probably offers the amigo Juan Hernandez as one of his staunch conservative supporters.

Should McCain pull off a hijack of the GOP nomination, tremendous numbers of tentative voters will either cast their ballot for the Flat Earth Banana party candidate or not show up at all. The level of revulsion held for McCain by actual conservatives is without precedent in modern American history.

Ron2John81 is right. McCain will be a disaster as a candidate in the general election, because he is incredibly arrogant and despises the party''s base.

He''s temporarily the darling of the main stream media, but if he gets the nomination they will slice him and dice him. We''ll see plenty of video of him saying "President Putin of Germany" as well as other gaffes and temper tantrums sufficient to demonstrate that McCain is far from the best candidate for CEO of America.

As for his "lifetime" conservative rating, the important statistic is the recent, substantially lower number and its decidedly downward direction.

If John Mc Cain says "my friends" one more time I think I will vomit. He comes across as sanctimonious and subtly arrogant. He served his country well as a soldier, but has developed an ever increasing ego over the years working in the halls of Congress. The thing that scares me the most about him is he might actually believe most of the flattering comments that a largely liberal-leaning established news media like the "New York Times" say about him. At this important time in our country we need a candidate that realizes that the Office of President is all about pouring yourself out in service to your country, like McCain once did as a soldier, rather than having an enormous ego needing to be fed. If the American people do not always feed him his favorite food of flattery, will he remain steady under the tremendous pressure, or erupt in anger and make important decisions on our behalf that protect his thin skin rather than the now fragile heart of what makes our country great?

Let''s look at who the Active Military in the USA supports in this election. Donations are from active US Military, Quarter ending Dec. 31, 2007 Source Federal Election Commission (FEC)

Anti-Iraq War Candidates:
Ron Paul: $249k
Barack Obama: $76k

Pro-War Candidates
John %u201CManchurian Candidate%u201D McCain: $83k
Mike %u201CGomer Pyle%u201D Huckabee: $37k
Mitt %u201CSilver Spoon%u201D Romney: $24k
Hillary %u201CWhitewater%u201D Clinton: $41k

Warmongers aren%u2019t supported by the troops, so why should you support them? Bring all of our troops home now! John "bomb, bomb Iran" McCain is bad for the USA and how many more of our sons and daughters would be sacraficed for George Bush''s honor.

Let me add another old saying: "Tis better to remain silent and appear a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

McCain should watch that mouth of his. I am also for the first time in my life considering voting for Hillary against McCain should she get the Democratic nomination. I mean, let''s agree - she has at least proven that she can be forced to vote more to the right on a few issues, unlike John McCain. The mere fact that he was prepared to leave our party speaks volumes to me. A vote for McCain destroys our party.
