McCain: I Need Conservatives To Win It All

Obama Tells Face The Nation He Can Attract More Independents, Disenchanted Republicans Than Clinton

(CBS)  The Republican frontrunner for president, Sen. John McCain, promoted his conservative bona fides on Face The Nation, while also admitting that, should he win the GOP nomination, he would likely not win the general election without the backing of the party's conservative base.

He also refuted claims by his opponent, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, that the Arizona Senator was not a true conservative.

“First of all, if you examine my record, it's more conservative than Governor Romney's is," he told host Bob Schieffer. "I went to Iowa and told them that I was against subsidies for ethanol. He was for them. I went to Michigan and said the old automobile jobs aren't coming back; new ones are, but old ones aren't. He wants to give them $20 billion, to Detroit, over four years. We went to South Carolina - same kind of deal. So look, I am proud of my conservative record, and I will run on it.

"We carried Florida in a Republican-only primary," he said. "We got very large percentage of the 'conservative' vote. And I'm confident that once they examine my record and as we unite against a common opponent, we'll do fine with that.”

McCain said that, if elected president, he would veto any attempt to raise taxes. "I think if we're going to be in some shaky times - and by the way, I believe the fundamentals of America's economy [are] still strong - then the worst thing you can do is increase taxes at that time."

He also sided with President Bush in maintaining tax breaks for upper income Americans and corporations. "I think everybody needs a tax cut," he said.

Later, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois said his campaign was attracting not only Democrats but also independents and disenchanted Republicans - and could do so better than Sen. Hillary Clinton.

When asked about the chances that Clinton would attract more negative attacks from the GOP, Obama acknowledged "There is some history there, not all of Senator Clinton's making, but I don't think there's any doubt that the Republicans consider her a polarizing figure. Now, keep in mind, I don't expect, should I become the Democratic nominee, that I'm going to be immune from some of the attack that I think the Republican spin machine is so accustomed to.

"But what we have found - this is true in Illinois, when I was running for the United States Senate, I think it's going to be true nationally - is that the tone that I take, the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, the willingness to listen to Republicans about some of their ideas, even though I may not agree with all of them - I think that creates a different climate. And I think that we can attract independents and Republicans in a way that Senator Clinton cannot.”

He said he anticipates Clinton will do well in some Super Tuesday states, such as New York and California, just as he expects to do well in others, including his home state. But he pointed to his campaign's ability to attract new or inconsistent voters to the polls.

"I was in Idaho yesterday and we were up in Boise. We had 13,000 people come out to a rally. Keep in mind that four years ago, only 5,000 people participated in the Democratic caucus. And I think that's one of the untold stories of this campaign, is the enormous turnout that we've been seeing in the first four early states."

He disputed talk of a "brown/black divide" between Hispanic and African American voters, given how Clinton attracted more of the Hispanic vote in Nevada and elsewhere.

"There's no doubt that Senator Clinton is still more familiar with [the Hispanic community] than they are with me. But I think that that is changing. And I think we're making enormous progress.

"In Illinois, when I ran for the United States Senate, I got 75 percent of the Hispanic vote. In Iowa, where we had time to campaign and Hispanic voters knew my track record of working on issues that help with the education of Hispanic kids, and have a comprehensive immigration strategy that will deal with the problem in a way that isn't just having it used as a political football, we actually won in Hispanic precincts. So my challenge has always been to make sure that the Hispanic voters know who I am."

Finally, in light of the positive audience response during the most recent debate when it was suggested that both candidates be on the same ticket in November, Obama said it was "presumptuous" to consider that either he or Clinton would accept a vice presidential slot if the other won the nomination.

“I think she is running actively for the presidency, as I am. But I think that there's no doubt that Democrats are eager to unify against the Republicans."

He also sided with President Bush in maintaining tax breaks for upper income Americans and corporations. "I think everybody needs a tax cut," he said.

He''s more Neocon than we think. We need these corporations supporting the tax base to help us get out of the debt that Bush got us into when he gave them tax breaks already. They''ve had their tax breaks...now it''s time for them to pay back.

How the hell did an article about McCain turn into more pro media krap for Obama? Obama has NO CLUE how to run this country!

McCain said we''ll be in Iraq 100 years. That''s $265 million per day X 365 days per year X 100 years. You do the math. Spending money like crazy is NOT a conservative position!

He''ll win with or without the support of the ''conservatives''. Romney is only at 20% in the polls. Huckabee at 19%. The race will be over on Tuesday.

His concession speech to Barack Obama in November will be generous and magnanimous, and will help bring the nation together under our first Hawaiian President.

"McCain said we"ll be in Iraq 100 years."

I wonder how many years he"d be predicting if he didn"t think the Surge was working ?

"We"ll be there 100 years" may mean some military presence, not necessarily a large force of 150,000 men.

We"ll have been in Japan 100 years pretty soon.

OBAMA PULLS AHEAD IN CALIFORNIA, TIES IN NEW JERSEY AND MISSOURI.

CLEAN GOVERNMENT DEMOCRATS ON VERGE OF RETAKING PARTY ...

Clinton, Obama in dead heat ahead of big vote
Sun Feb 3, 2008 12:31pm

By David Wiessler

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were locked in a near dead heat two days before the biggest presidential voting so far while John McCain tried to nail down the Republican nomination for the White House.

With 24 states holding nominating contests on Tuesday, the candidates spent their Sundays appearing on the morning television talk shows and campaigning across the country as polls showed the two races going in opposite directions.

The Democratic race, which Clinton once led handily, had narrowed to a nearly a draw in recent national polls.

Obama held a slight lead in California and was virtually tied with Clinton in New Jersey and Missouri -- three states voting on "Super Tuesday" -- in a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday. ...

What, McCain told the South Carolina people they''d have to sell their Nigras and couldn''t buy any more from Africa?

[newsjunky5]

Against subsidies for ethanol? Is he holding hands with the Saudi oil barons too? We subsidize oil now with billions spent through the military/private military/graft. He''ll doom thousands more soldiers with this position. Is this just sour grapes because of his tough time as a V.C. prisoner? Is he even of sound mind after his traumatic experience lasting years? The presidency is not a gift or reward for losing in battle.

[billpl-2009]

"He also refuted claims by his opponent, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, that the Arizona Senator was not a true conservative"

Romney is right, but only because the Republicans managed to redefine Conservative to mean Reactionary

[fishinfool43]

I liked Mc Cain better when he kept his mouth shut.
Cutting subsidies for ethanol?? Living in Iowa, and having a new ethanol plant in my community, has been a very good thing. At least we are being part of the solution and not the problem. Sounds like he has a private intrest in oil

[mike20084]

Some of these comments about John McCain really distrub me. I am a Democrat, but I respect his service to the country. It takes COURAGE to do what he did in Vietnam...he could have left early, but chose to stay with the other POWs because he did not want to be PR for the enemy. In terms of bravery and courage, McCain deserves more respect and is a better person than Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

That huge rod goes right up the pooper when you pull up to the gas pump. The sooner we are not dependant on foreign oil, the better we will be. Alternative fuels and renewable fuels is the future,and cutting those programs is their way of keeping us dependant so their stocks stay up.

[clemenhagen1]

The most striking factor in this primary? When people meet, see, or actually hear Obama, he wins! Virtually everything you hear about Obama from the opposition, either the right-wing echo-chamber or the Clinton campaign amounts to unsubstantiated smear or outright slander. When you listen to him explain himself and his vision, you understand clearly what he stands for and how he will endeavor to change the dialogue and climate. Clinton represents, whether fair or not, a perpetuation of the status quo: more insane partisan politics based on hate, fear and division. The right-wing salivates at the prospect of a Clinton candidacy because it guarantees a continuation of the type of extremist politics for which their place at the table is based. When Obama speaks of Reagan, it is simply to pay homage to a transformational phenomena who effected change in American politics. I see Obama potentially having the same impact, but it will be to bring working-class Republicans who have been seduced by the blather of O''Reilly and Limbaugh back to the side of reason. Obama symbolizes hope, optimism, and a reversal of the dark and dismal politics of division...for those with open minds at least.

[ramos937]

If McCain is to be believed then he is trully between a rock and a very hard place. Conservatives believe that all illegal workers need jailed and deported. Hispanics believe that all illegal workers should be treated with dignity, respect and be allowed to apply for citizenship. There is no middle ground. If he cannot get both to support him, then he can win the nomination (assuming he satisifies the convervatives) but will definitely lose the general election. Remember what Karl Rove said, "you need at least 40% of the Hispanics to vote for you. If you do not have that, you cannot be elected President."

[clemenhagen1]

McCain made one of the typically absurd Republican remarks about Ronald Reagan at the debate last night. He said something to the effect that Bush had strayed from Reagan''s vision regarding tax cuts and the fiscal restraint. What a joke! Reagan inherited a national debt of approximately one trillion dollars: he tripled it in eight years. How Republicans can mention Reagan and fiscal restraint in one sentence is beyond me? Bush I added to the debt; Bill Clinton brought a balanced budget and three years of an actual surplus. Bush II did away with fiscal discipline and brought back record deficits and a debt that went from less than six trillion to over 9 trillion. They lie when they call themselves the party of fiscal restraint: the proof is in the real numbers of the national debt. Check it out yourselves if you don''t believe me.

[pgannon48]

I thought that this was a very balanced interview with Sen. Obama, up until Bob Schieffer made his final comments. "I''ve noticed that no matter what question I''ve asked you this morning, you''ve managed to get a little bit of your message into it, no matter what the question was."

That was a low blow and totally irrelevant. Every candidate (and anyone in private industry who speaks with the press) attempts to ''stay on message'', to interject their message into any Q&A. Sen. Obama didn''t duck the questions and answered each of Mr. Schieffer''s questions. If Mr. Schieffer felt that Sen. Obama was not answering his questions, he should have repeated the question until he did get a direct answer.

[enoughya]

What is wrong with the electorate? Has America been dumbed down so much that it is possible to be duped by an utter thug like McCain? Let me guess; McCain is being hailed because he ripped off the American taxpayer more than 1 trillion dollars to bail out his fellow crooks in the S&L scandal (Keating 5). Or do so many like McCain because of his lawlessness in sponsoring a bill to give amnesty to 10s of millions of illegal aliens? Or do so many trust McCain''s sterling character, seeing the way he committed adultery against his first wife? Wake up America, before we end up with another tyrant bent on destroying the Constitution and our nation as a whole, just to usurp and abuse power for his own gain. If anyone represents what is wrong in Washington, it is certainly McCain. He is an utter arrogant thug that can be seen from 200 miles away, if Americans would only open their eyes half way.

Clinton health plan may mean tapping pay

By CHARLES BABINGTON
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC''s "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people''s wages ..."

"GOING AFTER PEOPLE''S WAGES" ...

IS THAT THE WAY REAL DEMOCRATS TALK? ...

THE REPUBLICANS WILL KILL THE DEMOCRATS WITH THAT KIND OF ANTI-WORKER, BIG BROTHERISH PROPOSAL ...

MARTIN EDWIN ANDERSEN

[kennedy7955]

Republicans are conservative? George Bush is the biggest tax and spend President of all time. No other President has grown the federal government or spent as much as George Bush. How can any fiscal conservative vote Republican?

[irliberal]

GO HILLARY 08, WOOHOO!!

Those who hate Hillary are:

A) White males who feel inferior before a woman of obvious power.

B) White females who think they should stand by their man, at least as long as it does not interfere with getting their hair done or interrupt their shopping.

C) Republicans, because she would end the Iraq war, balance the budget, and set this country back on the right course it was already on when Bill left office. If all that is possible to do in eight years anyway. You see, a single Hillary term would do much to illustrate to the world what fools the Republicons are and yes, they fear that. They fear it desperately.

D) Religious zealots of all shapes and sizes, who know that Hillary will preserve the line between Church and State, and that the tax free money that flows to pad their coffers and build mega churches and pay for se.x scandal lawsuits will likely stop.

E) Hunters, because the NRA tells them to think that way. Sure, those independent and fiercely free gun owners, true cows that they are.

F) The rich, who know that they will have a LITTLE LESS money than they do now, because they will be taxed at a higher rate. They might run a little short of cash for that second sailboat or that little villa in France and that JUST WILL NOT DO!

G) The military establishment, who no longer will get unlimited money to pursue pointless wars. Hillary would make sure the vets were properly taken care of though, something GW Bush OBVIOUSLY does NOT care about.

It''s really refreshing to see McCain doing so well to this point in the election process. He''s really the only Republican that has a chance this November and that''s the point that will carry him across with the Republican nomination and the eventual election. I truly admire him, though I don''t agree with every issue because of he''s shown that he stands up for what he believes in and not the corporation that writes him the biggest check. I''m not an internet poster that attempts to blast anybody, but I think it''s fair to say that Huckabee will have a far tougher time appealing to anybody but the far right this election cycle with Bush''s low approval ratings. I''m not real sure who Romney appeals to except rich America with his CEO experience and it''s really his personal fortune that''s kept him in the race. Huckabee is much more conservative than Romney. Most value voters I know don''t care too much for Romney with his values that have changed over the years and life history that is totally incompatible with theirs.

[zerga1]

Another CBS NEWS related story states that "McCain is winning over conservatives". Where is this happening? Might be going on within the states of Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Chihuahua in Mexico.

There%u2019s no doubt that some, including McCain''''s %u201CHispanic Outreach Director%u201D, Juan Hernandez were in his camp long ago. McCain%u2019s buddy Hernandez holds dual citizenship in the U. S. and Mexico. By his own words, the seditious Hernandez supports open borders as part of the Mexican "Reconquista" for the southwestern United States. In speeches, the radical Hernandez proclaims %u201CMexico first%u201D.

Hernandez, who was born in Texas, held cabinet position for %u201COffice for Mexicans Abroad%u201D in the regime of President Vicente Fox. While with the McCain campaign, Hernandez is now %u201CAdvisor to the Mexican Federal Government%u201D. A Juan Hernandez dedicated web site reports that his home is in Mexico City. As a sanctified Mexican nationalist, perhaps Hernandez is considered a conservative. Maybe that%u2019s what McCain is talking about?

The level of revulsion and loathing held for McCain among conservatives and other informed citizens is without concordance in modern American history.

Should McCain, with the conniving of his masters and minions hijack the Republican nomination, tremendous numbers of intended voters will either cast their ballot for the Flat Earth Artichoke party candidate or not show up at all.

McCain will destroy the Republican Party! He is talking like a wishy washy populist. He wants to fund programs to help the poor and disabled veterans. The guy is a wimp!

I have always stood on my own two feet unlike McCain, the wimp! How do you think I became a successful radio host? I went out gathered the raw materials to build my studio and receiver and hand crafted it like the Self Sufficient fella that I am. All Americans should aspire too be as Self Sufficient as me. I mined the copper to run power lines to a coal burning generator (that I fabricated) to produce power for my very successful radio station like the Self Sufficient guy that I am.

Come on folks! Enough of this wimpy FDR talk about helping your fellow man. It is a Dog eat Dog world out there. If you were born naked, then naked you will have to swim with the sharks that have come and survived before you! That is how it works, simple as that, every Self Sufficient Joe out for himself even if it means walking over your mothers corpse to get there.
