George H.W. Bush To Back McCain
A Republican source tells CBS News that former President George H.W. Bush will endorse John McCain on Monday morning in Houston, Texas.
Mr. Bush is the latest high-profile Republican to throw his support behind McCain, who is now trying to consolidate Republican support in the face of some conservative opposition. Former bitter rival Mitt Romney endorsed McCain yesterday.
Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who has shown particular strength with Southern voters, remains in the race despite mounting pressure to pull out to ease McCain's transition to a general election fight.
As the Associated Press notes, the current president has not formally endorsed McCain, but he suggested in an interview on Sunday that the presumptive nominee had his backing. President Bush called McCain a "true conservative" but said the Arizona senator had "some convincing to do" to win over critics like Rush Limbaugh.

What a circus of freaks, thugs, liars and criminals!

I cannot believe that McCain is that stupid to associate with the Bushwacker (approval rating of 25%). He does not deserve to win - he has not common sense.
Obama is going to start a civil war - southern racist is going to make a move the Union.

My guess is that Hillary will somehow manage to pull this off given her political connections with the good old boys and the system itself. Unfortuantely, this is where she will show America just how experience she has...
YUP.

There is only one way Clinton can win the Republican Party ... quit the Democractic Pary and go Reformer (make Ron Paul and L. Roach White House cabinet members). But that ain''t going to happen.
That''s great!
Four more years of death and destruction and neocon looting of the American treasury.
Moral of the story: If you call yourself a conservative, you better act like one. McCain calls himself one, but if elected, will govern as a liberal. America does not need that.
Guess the "straight talk express" has run off the track, all sense of honor has vanished, in McCain''s lust to carry on the Bushit tradition.
The jerk is every bit as power-hungry as Hilly.
A good reason to vote for someone else.
- McCain says,, "I didn''t mean it, I meant it will be genocide if we don''t"
Bush # 1 = POS....
Bush # 2 = POS....
McCain = POS....

Is screaming and cursing your colleagues, even those from your party, who disagree with you a "Conservative Value"
They don''t like Mike Huckabee''s charm, charisma and optimistic attidude. They feel threatened that they will lose control of their power hungry system.
They walk around pretending to care about the ordinary citizen, but in reality only care about their power and money.
Don''t be tricked into thinking they are for you. They have a attitude problem, they think the common ordinary American''s are too stupid and they must control them.
The American people must rally around the charisma of Mike Huckabee. He deeply cares about ordinary Americans.
He wants to "share" his power with you, not "show" his power like the other power hungry establishments want to do.
It''s time to show the establishments that the American people can think for themselves. Let''s rally around Mike Huckabee, a honest trustworthy and humble man.

- McCain has always said he opposed torture (including waterboarding) because of his experience as a POW. But when it came time for ACTION, he voted AGAINST the bill that specifically made waterboarding and other known forms of torture illegal. This man does not even stand by his own beliefs.

See all 26 CommentsOh well, at least now he is honestly showing everyone that the Bush Administration will still be running the show when he gets sworn in.
If anyone is tired of being liked to, just remember that Ron Paul''s actions and voting record support what comes out of his mouth.
