Senator McCain's two sons serve our country. As a pilot, John McCain proudly served our nation. It is undeniable that he loves the United States. He respects the rule of law and understands the complexities and dangers of our world.

I, for one, will sleep better at night knowing that President John McCain's steady hand is at the helm.

Let's give him a chance. He's earned it.

"Wake up Republicans!" John Mccain for president? Are you crazy! Mccain tried to shove amnesty for illegal immigrants down our throats every day intill America stoped him, did you forget?he voted against the Bush tax cuts'TWICE.' He voted against english being the offical language,He voted against the marrige amenment,Remember Mccain/Feingold,Mccain/Kennedy,the gang of "14"Remember when he attacked christains.Well, stright talk friends, Johnny boy cant be trusted and we cant trust him to be our president,he will kill the republican party ,GOD HELP US!!!!!!

McCain should get the republican nomination. As someone from Michigan... I hope he wins the primary there over Romney. Romney's just too polished – he actually reminds me of John Kerry a little (ideals aside.) McCain should've won the 2000 nomination... except his own party sabotaged him because the Bushies were so much more infulential and had Karl Rove in their camp. He deserves a shot at the presidency. McCain's confident in his own views yet still open to listening to others. Romney's the "everything to everyone" candidate. Go McCain!

oh yeah cnn is so liberal! thats why they hardly show obama on the station
huckabee huckabee obama doesnt get close to the press that the others get from cnn liberal yeah right..

McCain vs Obama

A refreshing change in American politics..

Why would a newspaper endorse a candidate that they disagree with on a number of issues? How can a long time Republican who has spent the last 30 years in Washington bring bipartisanship? Exactly where is the IQ test that shows McCain’s level of intelligence?

McCain has been pushing for different forms of amnesty for a very long time. Why endorse someone who wants to give our nation to millions of people who snuck in?

The Detroit Free Press has just unmasked a special kind of ignorance. In essence they said, “We have decided to ignore all of the problems with John McCain and we've also decided to label him smart because it helps US feel better about endorsing someone that we don't agree with".

A question that Romney never answers if how he is going to achieve sending 12 million illegals back home. What will happen to the jobs that they vacate? What will happen to the homes/apartments that they are currently renting? (If there is a lot of vacant housing right now – how will 12 million more vacancies (or a million – considering families) contribute to our housing market?

The fact is the USA was sleeping on the job for decades when it came to illegal immigration. People set up here with the compliance of the government.

Yes we do like laws in our nation. However, we do find it sometimes better to compromise to get the job done rather than go hard to spite ourselves; such as when plea deals are arranged to get immediate and certain consequences rather than going for the prolonged costly trials which could lead to having no consequences.

It is one thing to say that you are strong against criminals; but lets be realistic.

Oh, and while you are sending all the illegals back - where do their American born (citizen) children go? Perhaps into foster care where we the taxpayers will be paying for their cost of living?

We don't need a black and white thinker – right or wrong, but someone who can see the complexities of the situation and come up with a fair solution.

Romney grabs onto whatever is blowing in the air. He quickly switches to follow the polls. After Obama's success in Iowa – he (as most others) quickly jumped onto the "Change" theme almost to the point of nausea. Romney listened and thought – oh they like Obama's being an WA outsider – then he wanted to run as the WA outsider, he thought they like Obama's youth – and thought that of the Republican candidates – he was the most youthful. He put out attack ads – but once he heard that people don't like negativity (and the others were responding to his attacks on them) he acted as if he was the victim and said all of this negativity has to stop.

Romney sure talks a lot about "family", he brings it up constantly in his debates – but it really strikes me odd for a person who speaks so much about his sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren that he never mentions his wife when he talks about "family" – it is just the offspring and their progeny.

Most of the other candidates do not invoke their wives into the debates – but they are also not bringing up their children and grandchildren as well.

Romney does come across as a used car sales man. He is marketing himself, and if you don't like what you see, give him a few more sentences and he will become what you want to see.

For one minute keep in mind who or how many people does a newspaper represent. I've personally wondered why an editorial carries so much clout. So one paper endorses a canidate what exactly does that mean? how many actually people does that represent? Am I naivee or does that mean one person has an opinion. McCain is terse and showed his true colors in the last election. I get this errie feeling we are all being suckered in by his plan to get rid or Romney. the accusations of flip flopping to me is hysterical. Not one of those candidates is not guilty of changing their minds on numerous issues. Personally I am warry of anyone who isn't open to readdressing issues as the world and it's populas is constantly shifting. I can tell you I think differently today than I did 5 years ago. that old argument they keep throwing out to Mitt is really getting stale.don't they have something better to throw at him.

This article was taken from a press release by the Christians United For Israel Press release. John Hagee is the paster for the Cornerstone Baptist Church in San Antonio where Huckabee spoke 23 Dec 2007 which wants to bring about Armageddon and the subsequengt return of Jesus Christ by lauching a military strike against Iran. It is fine and dandy to be for Israel and to protect Israel but to kill a billion Muslim in the process is stupid.
The people invovled surely have not given any thought to what Jesus Christ and God would do to the people invovled in such an action. There are some bad Muslims but Muslims are spirit children of God just like everyone else born since the time of Adam and God has his own plans for settling the Muslim problem.The 2nd coming of Jesus Christ is the great and dreadful day of the coming of the Lord. I think there will be very few people left on earth when Jesus Christ comes and I do not think you will find many of the departed in Heaven.
------------------------------------------------
McCain Openly Courts Hagee
We’ve noted here a few times in the past that John McCain has admitted to
meeting with Armageddon advocate John Hagee of Christians United for Israel,
though such admission have also been buried in news articles chronicling
McCain’s difficulties winning over the Right.

Well, it looks as if McCain and Hagee are about to bring their relationship
into the open, judging by this press release from CUFI:

***MEDIA ALERT***PHOTO-OP***INTERVIEW OP***

SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN TO MAKE SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT CHRISTIANS UNITED FOR
ISRAEL WASHINGTON SUMMIT

Senator John McCain will make a surprise appearance at the Christians
United For Israel Washington Summit in a strong show of support for Israel

Who: Senator John McCain, Pastor John Hagee, Founder of CUFI; Former Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Newt Gingrich, Ambassador Dore Gold, Senator
Joe Lieberman

What: CUFI has emerged as one of the most important Christian grassroots
organizations in America. CUFI has held over 55 Nights to Honor Israel in
different cities across America. Last July, CUFI rallied over 3,500
constituents to Washington for its first DC Summit.

Visuals: Leading experts in Middle East affairs will be leading panel
discussions. 4,000 individuals will gather together to show their support
for Israel.

Where: Marriott Wardman Hotel
Washington, D.C.

When: Tuesday, July 17 at 1:30 PM

Why: To introduce the association to Senators and Congressmen, expressing
concern for Israel’s security and CUFI’s support of Israel’s right to the
land by biblical mandate.

Press Contacts: Kara Silverman 212-584-4331 or ksilverman@5wpr.com

It’s not much of a “surprise” appearance if CUFI is announcing it a day in
advance, now is it? In fact, the only thing surprising about this at all is
that McCain and Lieberman would agree to share the stage with a man who
wants to bring about Armageddon and the subsequent return of Jesus Christ by
launching a military strike on Iran.

McCain is so lame, his smart ass comments are Lame.

McCain has been reduced to getting an endorsement from a Liberal Paper.

Is McCain going to have his mom call Barack names too and say oh thats not my opinion.

Romney is a man of integrity. He kept his word to the people of MA. He will keep his word and represent the American people well. McCain is a good man, but Romney has the energy and enthusiasm to make things happen for the next four years. A vote for Romney is a vote for someone that represents the people that elected them. McCain ignored what the people of Arizona wanted – no free pass to citizenship!

I'm an independent in NH and Mitt Romney blew away the competition at the debate tonight. He definitely convinced me to vote for him.

I was between McCain and Romney, but tonight, Romney strongly, intelligently and passionately showed (1) Mitt is tough on illegal immigration while McCain still wants amnesty and just calls it a different name, (2) Mitt is an economic genius who will cut the income tax and corporate tax, and eliminate the death tax, while McCain has proven to align himself with the most liberal senators against the Bush tax cuts, (3) Mitt is youthful, energetic and a problem-solver while McCain seems a bit tired and petty, and (4) Mitt is a Washington outsider and an institution-reformer, while McCain is an old Washington guy bouncing around the same, failed policies.

I'm convinced NH saw their man tonight- Mitt Romney.

Figures Detroit, home of the Librano's would back one of the three most corrupt, devisive, backstabbing, con artists ....besides McPain, or HIS HOLY HIGHNESS Huckabee, or Hilly-Billary who ELSE could a leftist propgandist rag endores if they fear the likes of decent, strong, intelligent candidates with real principles such as Romney, Obama, and Thompson. Detroit ceased being anything but a crime factory generations ago. Ask anyone who dares live there, and dodges bullets and sucks smog in their daily fight for survival in their "enlightened/progressive" mecca...lol..yup...Detroit...you are welcome to have Hillary/McCain/Huckabee in YOUR city, but I think AMERICA needs leadership, and not backstabbing bigots for a President.

Democrat, or Republican, or Independant, ...NOBOADY outside of the Good 'ol Boy KKKlan in Arkansas wants to see the Grand Wizard Wannabe coalition of the likes of Hucka- with their finger on the button in the Whitehouse!!! Yikers!!!

I've never understood how a newspaper's endorsement can make headlines anywhere other than in that particular newspaper. How many people are swayed by a newspaper's endorsement?
Newspeople really think highly of themselves.

Short sweet and simple.....McCain is the man that will get the job done and is the one real candidate running I feel I can depend on to do what he says he is going to do...The rest just say what we want to hear and have little or no intention of doing what they are promising...My vote is for McCain

Short sweet and simple......McCain is the man that will get the job done. He is the one real candidate running I feel I can depend on ......His words are straight forward, meaningful and honest.....He has my vote

A race to the white house, and getting a new leader for Americans, with a new 'strategy for CHANGE' should not be a race of rancour and backstabing:"We build and we do not destroy".Senator Hillary Clinton's personal attacks on B .Obama following Democrat's debate was a disgrace.She should look for other avenues of criticisms and stop unnessary slanders just to swiftboat Obama.
From Minnesota.

It will be interesting to see if John McCain is still a smart Ass after NH

I lost all respest for Senator McCain during the debate with Mitt Romney over immigration. He denies supporting illegal immigration yet pushed the Immigration Bill, S1348 along with Senator Hillary Clinton, Kennedy & Schumer. This bill would have allowed millions of illegal aliens now within the U.S. to pay a $5000 fine and become legal. In the Immigration Bill passed in 1986, Ted Kennedy promised "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forth an amnesty bill like this." They not only have lied to us but have not built the fence to secure the border they promised to build last year.

Senator McCain you talk about flip flopping, you only changed your position on immigration when Americans flooded the White House with phone calls and emails demanding our current laws be enforced. Hopefully in the coming elections we will have an administration and members of Congress that will do their job in which they were elected to do. For too long our legislators have sold out to lobbyists and big business which is destroying our country.

Michigan and the primary...hhhmmm.

Seems I need look at the Republican Party for the first time because the Democratic Party has decided its candidate will not represent Michigan or Florida.

I realize the National Democratic Party can find some solace in the Michigan Democratic Party is to blame for involvement in the January 15 primary. As a Michigan resident, however, I simply see the National Party as responsible for having chosen not to recognize Michigan delegates.

If the National Democratic Party so chooses not to recognize my delegates at the National Convention, I will simply choose a candidate that represents Michigan, without regard to party.

Sorry National Democratic Party, you are loosing an adamant supporter.

It is not only the national media that does not like Romney. It seems that every republican canidate on stage last night finds he is a fake. Both Canidates and Media see Romney as someone who will change his position just to get a vote. He runs his campaign based on convenience not on his true convictions. I trust Fred Thompson. May not always agree with him, but I trust him. I trust John McCain. May not always agree with him, but I trust him.

I just don't now where Romney stands. He bends the truth on so many little things that you get the feeling he is disingenious. Last night, Romney said he never said McCain favored amnesty. That was a flat out lie. He states it in his campaign ads, he states that in the stump, he states that during interviews. Whether McCain is in favor of amnesty or not is illelevant. It is the idea that he could just splurt out a lie to a national audience. If he came out and said, "Yeah, I beleive McCain proposal is of sorts Amnesty", that would be ok. But to lie is just stupid.

To the Romney supporters: He may be smart. He may have a great background. But if he has no conviction and is not trustworthy, he can NEVER get my vote. And there are more people out there like me than there are of you.

Remember that beatle song: "Money can't buy you love".

it is the bottom of the 9th inning and Romney is down to his last out. At least he is going down swinging.

No state needs the competition from "cheap labor" brought here by illegal aliens who are willing to take American jobs for less.

It is obvious that many Americans do not understand the Amnesty Bill John McCain is supporting!

1. All illegal aliens including all convicted of federal crimes ( except a FEW with a certain type of sex crime) including Bank Robbers, illegal who have committed assaults; those who were previously deported.....would be able to receive a "Z-VISA" that would allow those illegal's to stay in the USA FOREVER and collect free benefits from taxpayers!

2. They would be protected from deportation forever!

3. John McCain bill did not require any illegal alien's to apply for citizenship, they could just stay forever use our free benefits; be protected and NEVER even try to be a real citizen; never learn English, never assimilate. IT WAS NOT REQUIRED.

4. Once given a "Z-VISA" illegal alien would have a "special status" that the bill said would make them eligible for all the Welfare (etc.) Benefits that were normally reserved for only US Citizens. So they would be just as uneducated, but able to collect even MORE free Benefits and cost billions more in our tax dollar!

5. Once given a "Z-Visa" their "special status" would allow them to apply for additional visa's to bring all their poor relatives here too.

NO to John McCain!
YES to Mitt Romney!

Correction: Boston Globe does NOT endorse Mitt

Dear Alice (Center Harbor), your lake is beautiful. Romney finally got an endorsement, the Weirs Times (I thought that was entertainment guide for vacationers). Boston Globe does support Mitt for a reason. The Boston Herald for the same reason. Then add most of the other major newspapers in NE except the Weirs Times (lol). Romney is a sham. His companies have pillaged and even got caught defrauding Medicare (Damon Co), and that is why he says "pharmaceutical companies are good guys..." He aint going to fix health care – he'll line the pockets of his oligarch, robber baron, cronies. Bain's $60B in management and it pulls a lot of levers. It is as much as the USA's annual Medicare fraud = $60B. Guess who pays for that? U & I Guess who contributes to it? the 'good guys' who blame all the cost on 'technology and dead beats' – they are pathetic and need to be stopped so that we the 'suckers' earning every dollar who cannot afford the gouge of health care cost do not continue to pay for the fraud, abuse, political influence/special interests, and greed. That is the health care problem – I know, I worked in it for 15 years (don't be shammed)

McCain is not a "Washington" insider. His record is a rare breed that fights wasteful spending and contract abuse. The Office needs McCain's integrity and honor as much as a dollar bill needs Washington's portrait. Likewise without these critical components the Oval Office and Dollar Bill is worthless and ineffective.

Yet another reason why I moved out of Michigan permanently twenty years ago.

People keep talking about McCain's endorsement by the "liberal media" – but its by the conservative media too. McCain also received, for example, the endorsement of the Detroit News, which has never endorsed a Democrat in the general election.
Meanwhile, some liberals like McCain for the same reason many conservatives like Obama – integrity and vision.

Everyone needs to get serious about this election. McCain is far too old and in
questionable health..McCain cannot identify with the young families today struggling with high food and gas prices. If a health issue arises, thats where the
focus will be. McCain out!
Clinton. If Bill were not around, would she even get a first look? Hillary out!
OBama, Edwards and Romney,Huckabee................One of these 4 will be the
next President,.
An Independent!

... looks like the old "let's vote for Mitt because he looks presidential" crowd is out tonight.

Intelligence is fine: but how do you use it? He can't decide which side of any issue he is on from one year to the next. The Mitt you vote for now may not be the Mitt you get for the long haul ... just ask the people of Massachusetts.

Doesn't the fact that local newspapers and people in his own state and the neighboring states don't support him? Ask yourself if maybe, just maybe, they know more about him than you do?

I'm enjoying seeing Mitt fold under pressure – all sweetness and light when he was the so-called "front-runner" but now that he's being challenged, watch the tone, the style, the ads, the body language turn nasty and hostile ... all without a hair out of place. This is the man we want taking to word leaders? I don't think so!

... or perhaps these newspapers, many of which tend to be more corporate and less "liberal" than people who truly pay attention to anyone besdes O'Reilly and Limbaugh would think, have decided that a candidate that would morph his positions and say anything just to get elected (remember 2000 and the "no nation building" and "fiscal yet compassionate conservative" and "uniter not a divider") is perhaps not the best for the country. The editorial endorsements, while a throwback, are done with the entire board, which usually consists of liberals, moderates and conservatives. These newspapers are increasingly more concerned with the bottom line rather than being "liberal elites." And when it's said and done, McCain is not so much a liberal darling as a candidate who would be a known commodity to keep things safe for corporations than an untested person who might screw things up in a different direction or deeper in the same direction. Trust me, the true media power brokers don't care about sabotaging a Republican candidate for a Democratic win.

GEAUC HUCK AND THE FAIR TAX!!

Jeez. Looking at some of these posts and it makes me wonder what some of these people are thinking. About the tax issue, Bush and the Republicans gave the rich and big business a break, while the middle class foots the bill. Here we have two wars and the rich are still profitting. And give me a break about the liberal media! Faux News and other stations gave Bush a free pass in the war in Iraq. Now we barely hear about Iraq and Afghanistan at all. As for McCain, I'm not voting for him. I'm not voting for any Republican this time. The 109th congress was worst ever. By not asking questions of Bush and his adminstration we are mired so deep in the pit Bush and his cronies foisted on us.

John McCain is the only one who can turn things around in Iraq. Funny how its the number one issue when we're losing but when the McCain endorsed surge works, everyone focuses on less important issues. When the United States declares victory in Iraq then you can tamper with the economy to prop it up and deport all the Mexicans you want. Until Iraq and Afghanistan are secure then all minor issues will be meaningless.

Foreign policy experience is much more important than anything. Let McCain fix America's reputation then you can have that vague kind of change you all seem to crave.

Credibility is THE issue; The Change we want is to believe our political leaders.

What confounds the solution to most of America’s toughest problems is the US governments’ utter loss of credibility. When anyone in power speaks you just can’t believe them because again and again we have been tricked. The reason everyone is turning on Mitt is not just the Flipping, it’s because he lacks credibility. If somehow he could beat any Democrat, I simply can stand the idea or another 4 years of dishonesty. America can’t stand this. Our world wide prestige took a huge hit from this when with the events of 911 we should have had a bank of goodwill. Mitt simply is not authentic. He is fabricated. Last night he even said he never claimed that McCain wanted Amnesty. Does he think we are suckers? John McCain and the other are authentic. What separates McCain from the others is experience and a demonstration of courage under fire.

NH won’t be bought. Return credibility to our government. Vote McCain with me on January 8th.

FWIW both Boston daily newspapers (the liberal Globe and the conservative Herald) have endorsed McCain over Romney as well. These two papers have by far the biggest circulation in Massachusetts, where Romney was recently governor. Also, none of the newspapers in neighboring NH endorsed Romney, and one of them even gave him an anti-endorsement (anyone but Romney).

Those who know him best, don't seem to care for him.

McCain is as true a conservative as there is but American is badly confused by fake liberals and phony conservatives.

The definition of these terms are never considered by the chronic-know- nothings only labels and slogans that have us where we are right now.

Liberals stand by while phony conservatives spend away a decades of your future as they wait to raise your taxes and blame the power hungry GOP status Quo Party.

Anyone that is hated by the lunitic fringe far left and far right is qualified to get this job done! The rest are sucking up in true political fashion while McCain pays for his straight talk with lost donations.

The only question left is: will we have a new president bought with payola or one whose words are true?

So Yea he scares a lot of people and powers-that-be who are used to getting what they pay for.

Who can bring America back together? A finger pointing devisive nay-sayer?

Think! Who has the military credentials to solve our biggest problems and restore respect for America across the world?

Liberal newspapers support liberal candidates...hence, John McCain being the media darling.

Wake up Republicans and Independents...these liberals want McCain because he is for amnesty and for raising taxes.

Don't they get it yet. The old steady hand argument isn't going to work this time. Gas is at 3.00/gallon. Everything has gone up in the grocery store. We are hurting out here! We are through of being used by the fiscal right to keep them in power. We are a coming, pitch fork and all, to take back what was stolen from us. We gave you power but you did not deliver. You continued to store up gold and silver for yourselves. You thieved from the people and spent their childrens inheritance. The marriage is over! The lamb is not lying with the lion any longer! Why were we so ignorant to make a covenant with the lovers of money? Enough is Enough!

Funny how Mitt Romney keeps getting hit from ALL sides.
This should serve as another example of how Romney is the Ideal
man for the tough job ahead for our country. McCain has done nothing
but sell out to the left the last 6 years, and this paper calls it "Bipartisanship".

THIS ENDORSEMENT AS ANY OTHER THIS ELECTION FROM ANY ONE SOURCE SHOULD MEAN NOTHING!!! WE MUST USE OUR COMMON SENSE, LOOK AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT IF WE ARE SO BLESSED, AND
ASK OURSELVES THIS QUESTION? ARE WE BETTER OFF THAN EIGHT YEARS AGO?? I KNOW MY FAMILY IS STRUGGLING AND VERY DISILLUSIONED WITH
OUR CURRENT "HIGHEST PAID PUBLIC SERVENT" AND HIS CRONIES. NO,
THIS ENDORSEMENT MEANS NOTHING. THE MEN BEHIND THIS PAPER HAVE
MORE MONEY THAN THEY NEED. AND THE MAJORITY OF MICHIGAN DOESN'T LIVE LIKE THAT, WHY DO WE CARE WHAT POMPUS PEOPLE LIKE THAT THINK
ABOUT POLITICAL RACES?? WE IN MICHIGAN NEED CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. NOT FOUR MORE YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE. AND IF THIS DETROIT PAPER CARED ABOUT ITS READERSHIP, IT WOULD SEE THEY ARE
STRUGGLING AND ENDORSE /EMBRACE CHANGE.

Can any of these Partisan Presidential Candidates conceive of the federal government method without the parties?

I'll ask it again: can any of these partisan Presidential Candidates understand the intent of the Constitution?

Romney bashing is getting old. Can the press not talk about his many obvious qualifications? The man is brilliant.

John McCain smarter than Romney? That's freakin' hilarious! Romney graduated as valedictorian of his college class and went on to earn a joint MBA and JD degree from Harvard. McCain can't touch Romney as far as smarts are concerned. He's not even in the same league.

What good are bipartisan alliances when the policy they create is utter garbage? Do we want more McCain-Feingold? Do we want more No Child Left Behind? Do we want more wars and more occupation of foreign lands? Do we want our troops to be stationed in Iraq for 100 years or more?

This whole, "McCain can get things done," mentality doesn't mean squat when the things in question are horrible for the country.

If America wants the so-called "comeback kid", then America will simply comeback to the same old policies from the past. We will come back to the old Republican Merit System that Bob Dole was the recipient of. Remember now? Ah yes, that's right. And do you remember how the Clintons clobbered him back then? No wonder Mc Cain is now getting kudos for his performance from the Clinton Camp. They would love to prop him up.
DO THE MATH AMERICA.

OF COURSE, MOST ALL OF THE NEWSPAPERS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE VERY LIBERAL AND WILL TEMPORARILY PROP UP MC CAIN, WITH THEIR DRIVE-BY MEDIA, BECAUSE THEIR CANDIDATE, HILLARY, IS SCARED TO DEATH OF ROMNEY. BUT THEY WILL SMEAR MC CAIN, ONCE HE GETS THE REPUBLICAN NOD.
THIS IS A NO-BRAINER AMERICA.

Hey everyone......CNN found someone dumber then Carter to prop up on their front page to suit their ANTI American agenda.

Congrats "liberal central"........!
