ITS DEJA VU....all over again !

    The lessons of history seem to be pretty clear. The Republican Party is controlled by liberal Republicans who believe appealing to "liberal" philosophies win elections. Thus, RINO politicians are populated all over the fruited plain. No finer example of a RINO exists than Senator John McCain.
     McCains liberal "bonafides" are abundant.....his penchant for mendacity is legion("straight talk express" LOL) and his corruption plainly historic and evident.There is a reason Senator McCain is every Democrats favorite Republican.
      The bigger picture however is ...if the top of the 2008 national ticket is headed by a "looser" like  RINO McCain.....the entire ticket will suffer.

  On this very website....... 16 months in front of the '06 election , I predicted RINO Mike DeWines demise.........slam dunk !!!  Now......I will predict that the 71 year-old RINO prevaricator McCain....if he's annointed as the standard bearer of the Republican Party....will preside over the death of said Party.The modern- day Whig Party proving history does indeed repeat itself.

I wouldn't call it a death, but if voters keep going with the "safe-vote" and keeping these people in office for fear of a democrat winning, we're going to keeping getting these RINOS forced down our throats.  What happens if McCain wins?  We get him for 4-8 years and he's followed up by a bigger RINO.  If voters express their discontent, it may revive the party and we may get a reshuffling of the deck.

The only thing that will get the Republican base out for this election at this point is if the Democrats run Hillary.

I still don't think the D-machine will allow Obama, but Kennedy's endorsement surprised me (I have to laugh when I hear feminists feel jilted by Kennedy's action).

McCain Beats Romney in Florida

Quote
ORLANDO, Jan. 29 -- Sen. John McCain of Arizona pulled out a hard-fought victory over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in Florida's contentious Republican primary Tuesday, making him the clear front-runner in a two-man presidential race that could be decided as soon as next week.


I'm not happy about it - but I think McCain's pretty much got it.  This man has dumped on grassroots conservatives his whole career and expects us to GOTV for him?

I think he'll prevail.  Hillary! has shown she can't take a real contested campaign and I really don't think Obama will prevail against him.

I'm pondering my options for my primary that happens the week after Super Duper Whizbang Tuesday.  I think I'll either pull the lever for Fred or if I think Romney has a chance for him.

That philosophy bought us Pelosi and Reid.

If the stakes of this election weren't so high, I might agree with you, but I honestly do not believe this country will look the same after 4 years of Hillary. 4 years of appeasement in Iran, 4 years of not securing the border, 4 years of activist judges, 4 years of socialism, sky high tax rates that will percolate through the economy and on and on.

Too high a price to pay to make the point.

McCain is better than Hillary and it's not even a close call.

Anyone working for the Romney campaign in Ohio? How about the Huckabee campaign?

Or am I wrong in assuming that we've just resigned ourselves to this fate and we're going to sit on our hands and let it happen?

Well I guess 2 out 5 is not too bad....but it must be noted on your judge issue we were slated to recieve Harriet Meyers until Conservatives screamed and the other issue(sky high tax rates) will change when we get RINO John McCain.With RINOs we got 3 years of appeasment....6 years of NOT securing the border...3 years of socialism........no visible efforts to energy independence and on and on.

   Its CRASH and BURN time in AMERICA and I want the most responsible PARTY for the destruction to get clear and unequivical CREDIT for it.DEMOCRATS....the Neo-Marxists of our times.I don't want the media to rope-a-dope the "hoopleHeads"and blame the demise of this great country  on Republican(lmao on Republican McCain)responsibility.

Marc:

I have no argument as to who is "better," but when was the last time you when the stakes weren't so high?

2004 Kerry
2000 Gore
1996 Clinton
1992 Clinton
1988 Dukakis
1984 Mondale
1980 Carter
1976 Carter
1972 McGovern
1968 Humphrey

The liberals keep sending over the same candidates and we are putting up people that we think can beat them rather than people we want to represent us.  If we chose the latter, I'm certain the country would get behind whoever ran against Hillary.

1996. With the GOP controlling congress, the damage caused by a second Clinton administration was somewhat capped. Hillary will likely have a friendly congress.

Why do you believe that someone who voted for Kerry in 2004 would vote for a 'true' conservative?

Unfortunately what more than likely will happen is the Dims will have complete control of things as they did long ago. Then when they nose dive everything under the sun will be the only time true change will come about.
 
Robert I haven't seen or heard from anything more than the bloated bs of a GOP party heads wanting more money, can you imagine that?

If you do come across anything on either Romney or Huckabee a heads up would be cool.

It's not the same question.

Someone who voted for Kerry in 2004, and about half the country did that, has demonstrated a political idealogy closer to Hillary than Ron Paul. In order for Paul to win a general election, he would need to hold on to the vast majority of people who voted for Bush and pick up some who voted for Kerry.

Why would anyone who voted for Kerry in 2004 vote for Ron Paul?

A corollary to the question is - why would anyone who voted for Bush in 2004 vote for Hillary in 2008. There are tons of reasons:

1) 4 more years of the media beating up on Bush
2) Fear over Ron Paul dismantling the federal government
3) Hillary might actually be to the right of Paul on defense and the terrorist war on us.

Look, Paul received about 5% of the Republican vote in Florida. I really think y'all should realize that Paul will not be president and throw the support behind Romney before it's too late.

The Shadow thinks that it is funny that you all still think that things are great under this R administration.  Maybe it is that you can't face the responsibility that by your vote you  put the U.S in a downward spiral of fiscal irresponsibility etc. etc.  By the way please nominate Romney.  McCain would be too strong.

The Shadow hopes :ph34r:

Marc,

Wouldn't it be great if you actually got behind a true conservative candidate with something more substantive than hot air BEFORE we are forced into deciding between a Hillary and a Hillary-Lite?

You judge those of us who question the lack of principles that McCain and others have, yet you have stood by with not one ounce of support for ANYONE ELSE.

I wish I could give your rhetoric more weight, but every year you are asking us to accept more and more liberal candidates and every year we compromise just that much more.

Forgive me, since we are supposed to be on the same side of the aisle, but you are as much the problem as you are any solution. McCain is as much a problem as Hillary...there are virtually no differences except the ones you imagine.
